Bellevue (my ACTUAL home) needs more sunshine...I would say it's good weather for practicing indoors but all of my stuff is in LA as I had to fly up here at the last minute and am staying indefinitely.
I'll certainly be in touch when I pick this up!

Regarding Max Maven and his origin: I finally met Max Maven at the IBM convention in Dallas and we spoke about Get Sharky, the origins, his point of view, my point of view. Yes, he was aware of the fact that his routine was performed earlier than Christoph Borer's Get Sharky. His approach is totally different, we had some email conversation where he was so kind in giving even further details about the history of using the principle Get Sharky is based on. So far I could not contact Christoph Borer to get his statement regarding these statements. It seems that we can all calm down now, I will add Max's reference soon in the instructions.
@ Truthteller: Max Maven pointed explicitely out that he does NOT allow anybody the punch line he was using as he wants to keep it for himself. So please be aware, don´t use the line "I didn´t say which hand!". @ all the others: I will release a VERY limited edition of Get Sharky in Vaudeville style, say, the deck will look very old and worn. The effect will only be available for newsletter subscribers, so if you are interested, please sign in now or you will miss it.

Years ago, I remember not how many, I purchased lecture notes titled The first Lecture notes of Anam Cara. In these notes is the routine Get Sharky! As far as I can tell, it is the same working as the one now on the market. I liked it, so I made it up. So, do I have the only Get Sharky in Bikes?

Cool- there is also Juan Tamirez' "traveling cards" which used Bikes as well. Even the original Taylor Peek decks from decades ago may have been Bikes!
What makes Sharky vastly better than Bikes is the use of the Phoenix thin cards - beautiful, buttery, the right feel and weight. I guess someone could have made these with Protea cards from S Africa - but the Phoenix cards are nicer - and m****d too. The bikes are kind of thick eh - great for a small trick like Traveling Cards - but not as good for a Get Sharky Deck.

Oh well, at least the right thing was done. Glad I could help. ;) |

Brad - I would love to see a new avatar with a little hint of a smile - or a wink, even if just for a day.
Thanks! Jim |

Wow, I didn’t know there was another thread on Get Sharky aside from the lengthy one that was locked. It looks as though some of the posts from the locked thread were carried over here, but simply pruned down.
Anyway, some discussion was going on in the locked thread by Brett, and others, as to using another regular Phoenix deck but with a different colored back. Not going to go into detail, but the ending is that when the person can’t find there card in the GS deck it suddenly appears face down in the other deck which is always in plain sight from the start, and of course, is also freely shown (backs and fronts) to the spec. before you proceed with the effect. Seeing that GS is such a strong and easy trick to do I personally feel it deserves much more than the basic simply handling as done in the demo. So with that, I only perform it with the two decks as it adds so much more to it, and makes it more of a routine then simply a quick, albeit a very clever trick. I related one of the times I performed it to Brett (saysold) via PM as it got such a strong reaction. I made the mistake (being facetious here) in having showed this to a female bartender sometime ago and it left her mumbling to herself in disbelief and now that is all she can talk about whenever she sees me walk into the restaurant! Of course I performed it using the other different colored deck. When I revealed the card in the other deck, which of course was always in plain sight after I first showed her the faces and the backs, she actually started to mumble to herself by saying; “But, but, I had the deck of cards in my hand all the time so how could you, how could the card,……, but, but”?, and on and on and on. In her excitement she started to go back and forth asking the other customers if they saw what I just did and dragged this guy, who happens to be a lawyer, over to me and asked me to do it for him. I’ve met this guy before and he’s very analytical and never really says that much. Now when I say analytical, I mean analytical! When it came to the part when I asked him to see if his chosen card was still in the deck, and mind you, I asked him to “spread” through the cards to do this, he would have none of it. He started from the bottom of the face up deck, which he had in his hands all of the time, and dealt each individual card onto the table one - at - a - time. Talk about an acid test for this deck! I think I was actually holding my breath as he slooowly dealt all 52 cards on the table. Anyway, it all went well and he was totally silent for awhile and then simply said; “That’s f’ing amazing”! With that he really opened up to me and we ended up having a long conversation. Other than that, it’s nice to see that any perceived “issues” about GS have been solved to everyone’s satisfaction (hopefully) and this thread can proceed in an orderly fashion.

Good job the lawyer never counted them. It's the one thing that always worries me.

I was more concerned about him possibly “feeling” something a tad different, etc. Also, if you tell a spectator to find their card by fanning through the deck they’ll more often than not do just that. Also, if by chance someone should happen to count the cards (very doubtful) there is always some type of out/explanation. i.e. “I’ve done this trick quite a few times with this deck, and sometimes I forget to replace the card(s)”, etc. When you think about, even form the spectators point of view, if there happens to be a few cards missing from the deck so what, as it really doesn’t in any way shape or form affect the trick/effect itself.

Here is a performance of me performing a "two deck" version of Get Sharky today at a coffee house - instead of revealing the spectator's viewed card in my front pocket I reveal the card in an alternate colored deck. The 2nd deck is custom made and those following the Shark threads(and even those that don't) I'm sure will understand how this is achieved.
I don't think that there have been any other videos out there since Christian first released Sharky some time ago. Hopefully this will (perhaps) help Christian sell a few more units in Vegas so he can buy beer rounds for his magician pals at the bar lol... The sound kinda sucks but it was recorded on my Blackberry - you'll get the idea though Enjoy. BRETT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LmUpwrHJmM

This is a great piece of performance, like it.
For all the others: the other thread should be unlocked again as there was no real reason why the topic was locked.

Thanks Christian -
I'm still quite fond of your original one handed Magician method & video, as it is ULTRA fast and clean. That video I suspect sold a lot of Get Sharky decks and as soon as I saw it I knew that this effect was a winner. There are many different ways to perform this - and without a bit of sleight of hand there is not a cleaner way in the universe to make a spectator's "seen" card completely vanish - even allowing the deck to be examined in the spectator's own hands. Here are all the Get Sharky videos on the internet now - in one place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im12-JPs2bQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LmUpwrHJmM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_k9egF87hE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBI8U3OzT6Q&feature=related
