Has anyone heard of this effect? Tom is an L&L audience member and on the Greatest Performances DVD #3. He performed and taught this. Her said it was a marketed effect, but I never heard of it.
Anyway, he's a charismatic, talented guy and the effect is wonderful. Anyone use it? Chris

Don't know the effect but, Tom is the creator of the Ripple effect and I use it all the time.

As you may know, Tom Allen is my partner of more than thirty years but I must say Magicians Poker is incredibly strong. It's a wild card packet effect with a Royal Flush ending (clean).
It's one of the Wild Card solutions he began developing in '69 and the early '70's, performed only for his audiences and shared with close magician friends (some very well known). Eventually, they started to leak out so he self-published some versions of them (like Magicians Poker) with small releases, marketed at his Lectures and a few Conventions. I've seen many people in Sacramento bring their friends in to The Fox & Goose (where Tom worked for 25 years) just to see that effect. Just one of several amazing Wild Card effects he's created. Actually, I don't perform it since Tom and I used to work more Close-Up Gigs together. Maybe, now that I work alone more, I should do it. Thanks for mentioning Magician's Poker Chris, and The Ripple Vinny. I'll make sure Tom reads it. - Mary Mowder |

Mary, THANK YOU for sharing that info. I wish Louis would do an L&L DVD with Tom as I think he's a wonderful performer.
