The routine that motivated me to learn this change was Jennings' "Syncronicity" from Classic Magic of LJ. I used to use Jennings' version of the change, which is easier than Curry's original, but suffered from angle problems. Then I learned Marlo's Breakless version.

Is Marlo's in his collection [Revolutionalry Card Magic?]

The Breakless Curry Change is in Hierophant 7. It's not in the RCT book. Also, check some of the newer Allan Ackerman tapes for his work on this fine move.

Hi Joseph,

If you actually take a close look at the tape, you will notice that Larry's hand was not empty and idle. It had a single card in it so that the card in one hand ended up being the mate of the card that he turned over.

Take care,

I just read the Jennings version in the classic magic and not the one in the cardwright. As I've been playing around with the move, either I must be doing something wrong or it seems much more awkward than the normal curry turnover.

btw the version I'm trying is the one using the index finger. It seems to me that my hand has to keep the deck with it's back perpendicular to the table rather than parallel in the original curry version.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Where can I find a good description for getting into position (one finger under the bottom card) for the CTC?

Thank you
Markus
