I saw a magician do a card effect on TV some years ago and it really impressed me
(I'm into mentalism and my card repertoire is Si S,Boris W, side steal, basic pass and false shuffle. But I am working with the 2 Show Off tapes LOL) The effect went 'something' like this Deck is face up. M. shows 10 of diamonds, he passes his hand over it. 9D. 8D.7D.....AD. Sometimes his hand moved forward and back. Sometimes, side to side. I think. Halfway through he did a couple of flourishy cuts and then continued. I have tried doing this by putting the cards 9 to ace on the bottom and transferring them. Stealing them in one direction and showing them on the return. I have a fourishy false cut form the Show Off tape that I can use for half way through There are a few problems with this way. As a newcomer to cards, ANY hints, clues, advice would be appreciated Name of the effect? I(s it a good idea to steal cards while moving in 4 directions? Would it be a lot easier to reduce them to 3, 2 or even 1? The names of some good steals or sleights to do this better? |

I'm not really a card man, but you could be discribing a Stanley Collin's effect; The Pip-Eating Spider.
Billy McComb has a version which uses gimicked cards. Hope this is of some help. Eddie |
