Does anyone perform effects centered around "memorizing" a shuffled deck on the spot. I know Harry Loraine has a few effects like this, so does Joel givens, as does Garrett Thomas, but does anyone else dabble in this interesting field?

Yeah, definitely. Really shocks spectators if presented right. There ia a great routine in Triangle by Patrick Redford.

My absolute favorite is Terry Lagerould's "Pseudometry."

Great choice, Justin, it is such a strong effect. I remember reading it for the first time- my dropped.

This is Bob Cassidy's signature effect; he describes it in one of his books. And Barrie Richardson has an excellent version in print as well.

For those who care - Terry's Pseudometry is in the December, 1979 issue of APOCALYPSE. That's the original. I've seen some of the "take-offs" (not all, obviously). Considering those I've seen - stick with the original. Great idea. HL.

There is a version in Rich Bloch's lecture notes "These are a Few of My Favorite Things" These notes came out in the mid 80's but I know I was using the basic method much earlier than that. I don't remember where I learned it. If the method is the same as Terry Lagerould's Pseudometry then that is probably where I learned it.

Originally based on a Steve Forte item (which may have been based on something previously, I don't know) Sal Piacente's "Memory Opener" is one of the strongest card effects I've seen performed anywhere.
People use phrases like "it killed" when describing tricks all the time on the Café, such that one wonders if everything ever released "kills"..........BUT, this trick KILLS. |

I don't know who came up with the thing first, but Max Maven, aka Phil Goldstein has a version called The mockingbird. Here is a video of that version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxFUhFUZb28 I am not quite sure who came up with the principle, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out it was Alex Elmsley. |

Yeah, I think it was Elmsley who discovered the Gilbreath Principle. Thanks, this gave me a chuckle. It's been a rough day.

I remember performing Pseud-O-Mem as a brief memory effect in one of the routines I had set up. I have forgotten most of it, although I do remember it using a key card in a unique way. I guess I have to take out my Best of Friends set and find it (Pretty sure it is in Volume 1).
Anyone know the difference between this one and the original one that appeared in Apocalypse? |

In Armageddon, HL credits the *idea* to TL, but is clear that it is *his* handling. Harry, please help here!

You certainly could
The use of Gilbreath is good to me. I'm very fond of sleight of hand, but Gilbreath plus riffles or rosetta gets me interested, as it does to the people participating. (think your quote ended up mixed up with mine above) |
