^^^^ I think maybe he is referring to when the cards are spread that there is a move to display the ace of hearts the only card face up. (Hope I didn't reveal anything there).

Right, but there's no editing. That's what it looks like in real life. It's actually not really a "move" at all.

>there's a bit on the fliming of the effect itself where he is definitely not doing it as per the explanation.
I had that same feeling too. I have the manuscript so I knew what to look for. You can say Stephen has been doing this for years, but I'm afraid this has nothing to do with routine. It was far too smooth. Still a good though. |

We have this in stock so you can get it from your favorite dealer world wide.
It is a great routine as well! and all cards can be handed out. Nice

Well, I wasn't there, so I honestly don't know although I can't see why they would need to do it.

Seems to me that if done well (like any effect out there) your spec sees a mirracle, as a magician I saw a miracle so I will now make a purchase thanks guys!
I know this is not a new effect and I already have a few of Stephen's effects which are all good, I just wanted an opinion on this as it is £25 with bonus tricks or you can buy just Omega from Stephens web site for just £15, or download version for £10. Omega was the effect that caught my eye, if this was going to be a dissapointment I would just rather know before a purchase as like (I guess) all of us here have enough material we don't use! |

The bonus effects are all very good as are the bonus handlings of Omega. A few of the Omega handlings on the dvd are not in the printed version. So it's a good deal all around. Plus you get the required cards.

I have just received mine! I am very, very impressed. I have only tried on the wife as yet.
This is one of the most clever tricks I have seen and the DVD version comes with many alternative methods, styles and ideas... a must buy really even if you have to adapt it slightly to suit yourself (like I have already). |

I am so pleased with this effect I can't tell you, however... I bought this effect based on a magic Caf�'s memeber's advise (Cameron Francis). You will notice that in an earlier post I put forward a quote from somebody who questioned a certain move used in this effect and that indeed they believed it to be camouflaged by video editing.
Cameron assured me that this was not the case and that Mr. Tucker just does the move 'very well!' So I bought the effect, althogh as above I am very impressed with my purchase I am lets say, very mmmm anoyed (politey put) with being blatently lied to by a member of this Caf�. In my naivety I forget for a moment that Cameron is a BBM bod and it seems he would tell a little, lets say porky to line his own pockets! I will be asking Mr. Tucker to perform this effect at Blackpool and if he can p*** cards as proficiently as he apparently does in the Omega promo vid, I will show my a*** from the top of Blackpool tower! No way! You know that and any of you fellow magicians who watches the promo vid and knows what he is apparently doing will realise that he is either a real magical wizard or simply put, a blagger! Darwin Ortiz will be asking for lessons if he really can perform that 'cough' move that well. Just to reiterate I love this effect because I a confortable with this move but I know many, many people who are not and who are fantastic magicians but just seem to take the safe option and side step this move, not to mention the young magicians who save up to buy effects like this based on BS! Well my fault entirley, I should have know better to take the advise from someone whos effects end up in 'Pete's special offers secton' of Alakazam magic! |

Mistake or misunderstanding possibly, but what you suggest is not reasonable. I hope that the misunderstanding is cleared up, as this kind of allegation is a bit strong. Why have I posted this? I have spoke with Cameron a few times via the Café, and even if he was a bit 'shifty' (to me, he actually seems very up front & straight), what sort of person "would tell a little, lets say porky to line his own pockets" It is one thing to challenge someone on a point, but to go this far...? With respect, Charlie (normally hoping to avoid all flame related issues!) |

Puggo, I totally know where you are coming from. Yes I may appear OTT but please look at the promo vid on youtube for example. I played it several times for a friend and he said 'No chance!' This is edited! Due to the fact that Cameron is part of BBM he will undoubtedly know the method to achieve this great effect, there is no way on this planet that Mr Tucker does the required move as you/we would in real time. No way!
The only reason I am so angry is this; Say for example an effect sold itself on being self working and required no skill at all but was priced at say £100.00 Lets make a fictonal character named John. John is 12 years old and earns his money through a paper round, every now and then he visits magic Café for advise etc. John asks, is there no skill at all then, wow I like it? The creator or puplisher replies "I can assure you that this is for a beginner and no skill is required at all". John receives his new trick to find that you need to be able to do a reversed back palm, a perfect Faro shufflle, 3 elmsley counts and be a master hypnotist! Now ask yourself, would John be happy with his new trick that he saved up for weeks based on... let's say 'bent truth'. An honest reviewer I hope maye say; I have this trick and it is great but to be honest the bullet point where it stated 'no skill' is far from the truth, you need to have a good arsenal of sleights to even think of buying this! |

What happened to Cameron Francis's post saying he was leaving the Magic Café over this?

Hmmm. Don't think Pete's Picks equals bad magic. Loads of good stuff in there, including the Malone meets Marlo set. Nice to be in that kind of company.
As far as lying goes, I did not. As I said, I was not at the shoot so I don't know how it was filmed. I was merely speculating. I never denied that a certain move was used. So, like I said, I never lied. Really don't know why need to insult me, Mr. McFlash, if that is indeed your real name. You like the product and you knew it involved "the move". So what, exactly compelled you to insult me?

Joe, I thought better of it. I'm not going to let someone like Mr. McFlash force me from the Café.
And, again, I NEVER said no skill required. If anything, I practically SAID the move is used. So, again, I don't know what McFlash's problem is.
