In the Extractor DVD Peter Nardi mentions that the source for the "Mark In My Pocket" effect is an older trick called "Harry In My Pocket."
Is that referring to the great Harry Lorayne - and also where can I find this effect in book or PDF form? When I google it I can't come up with anything at all. I would love to read the original effect. Thanks. BRETT

Actually, the title is Harry in Your Pocket. It can be found in CARDSHARK by Darwin Ortiz. GREAT effect too!!

And then while studying Darwin's routine think about it. You can make it easier achieving the same effect while same time switching the entire deck. I'm not going to post (exposure) it here, it has been published in German by me several times. But I guess you can work it out by yourself knowing the goal. Jan

Darwin Ortiz never mentions Harry Lorayne in the description of the effect, and in the credits refers only to an effect by Roberto Giobbi. It's far more likely that he's referring to the 1973 movie Harry in Your Pocket, starring James Coburn, Michael Sarrazin, Trish Van Devere, and Walter Pidgeon; it's a movie about pickpockets. Tony Giorgio was in the cast as well. |

Gary Kurtz also has a routine called Gary in your pocket and he also refers to the movie in his presentation.
By the way does anyone have the movie, I saw it when a was like 6 years old and back then it was great but it is not available on DVD? Best, Stefan |

Stefan, my method has been published first time in "Magie" issue 1/2002 pages 16 and 17. Cheers, Jan

Yes, it's the same effect and the seal is signed, as the switch occurs before. No palming, only a force. Technically it's easier than Ortiz' method but same time achieving a second goal. Roberto Giobbi is planing a book about deck switches; He knows my method, it would be in.

The only clean way I can see switching decks is by placing it in your own pocket. The strength of this routine, I believe, is partly due to the fact that the boxed deck is placed in the spectator's pocket. It provides a bit of theater too, having the boxed deck in their pocket. I have a buddy of mine who performs this more impromptu (without the initialed seal) in his strolling venues. It is very strong, again, in their pocket. Ortiz has a number of "pick pocket" themed effects that fit a gambling theme perfectly.

No, it is in the spectator's pocket. It is exactly the same effect.

Well it sounds like a good idea but will wait until I see the handling. I also think that any effect where the deck completely vanishes, minus the selection/s, is a good time to ring in a cooler. That's what I do with my "Through The Looking Glass".

Hello Jerry,

The movie has now been made available through "DVD on Demand" which means that the studio will burn a copy to a DVD for you when you order it. Here's a link on Amazon:

Really! Giobbi is planning a book on deck switches! You have any idea when it's coming out?

I am familiar with Darwin's work and I have read Jan's method in the "Magie" magazine. I can confirm everything Jan says. In this case, the method doesn't change the effect.
