I have to admit getting pretty frustrated with those that I've purchased that simply provide you with the materials to make up the gaff yourself - instead of bothering in the first instance to furnish you with the end product.

I have the book. It's certainly not the case that only one value would look as clean as shown and if they choose a different value you have to do other stuff after they choose the value, which is what I assume you are thinking when you say 12 out of 13. Yes Craig did get lucky (or one of the people calling out numbers helped him get lucky for the filming) and the effect will not look that hands off most of the time. Or it could have been re shoot until Craig got the correct result Remember it’s not live (Only a few weeks ago Craig was saying how easy it is to palm a card – but made sure the camera man kept on Dave for 30 Seconds!) Anyway still looks like a Good Book

Blammo actually looked interested (or horribly frightened) for a change. StuartNolan, your avatar rocks! Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
gaffed Inner circle So far I've managed to gimmick 1817 Posts	Posted: Oct 8, 2011 12:00 am 0 Quote: On 2011-10-06 06:15, Merc Man wrote: Maybe, we've all become a little jaded with one trick DVD's?

All too true (regarding the one trick DVD's), and I've admittedly fallen among them these past years. However, as in regards to one having to construct a gimmick rather than having it included with a DVD I, personally, feel its rather a good thing in someways. There is such a plethora of these one trick DVD's that come out with the appropriate gimmick, and then fall to the wayside only to find that the gimmick is no longer available. Granted, I for the most part want the gimmick included with the DVD, but it's a great option to know that one can construct another if needed instead of it no longer being available separately, or heaven forbid, having to purchase the entire mess/expense (DVD) all over again just to obtain the freaking gimmick! After all is said and done; wouldn't it be more advantageous to have to make the gimmick rather than to pay for another one (IF you can) that will only at times last for a short period of use? Also, you keep mentioning books, which of course are great, but you certainly don't get any gimmicks with a book, and you of course have to make them yourself if one is needed. Just some food for thought. "Half this game is ninety percent mental." ~Yogi Berra~ "To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary.

MeHitDrum New user Having too much fun to have more than 83 Posts	Posted: Oct 9, 2011 02:39 pm 0 Chessmann- I about rolled out of my chair when I first noticed your "Signature Quote". Nice! And if I ever sink to the depths of owning another cat, surly it shall be called "Vomit: The Evil Ball of Fur". Thanks mate! BTW- I believe you may have posted your comedy rope routine on youtube.
