I have a copy but I am not allowed to get into too much detail until it officially releases.
You guys can scream at me. THe words Cajones and Bold (BOLD) shouldn't put you off - I hate bold, I'm not a ditcher, I'm a hobbiest not a pro, and I spend way too much time on the Café. That being said, in 2-3 days of a little practice I am now able to perform the main thing that makes FAX work - and it is very well explained in the DVD (90+ minutes). I would say that the methods taught here are no harder than learning a Mercury fold or other method - except what is tight here is so cool that it will probably make most people smile as they watch the DVD as it will likely strike you as quite clever and something that you've not seen. This skill will add to almost anyone's card magic. For the price it wil be gold for some performers looking for something quite unique and powerful. Once this is released soon... if you guys disagree with me then you can say so - but as Cameron Francis said... FAX is pretty friggin cool.

This looks really good. Can it be used with any other brands of deck other than Bicycle?

Technically true, Ted, the brand does not matter. But let's be clear - you cannot simply go into a store, purchase any pack of cards and perform the trick with it. Most won't have the tools on hand to properly alter the deck for this. That's not to say they're not available, though. Otherwise, I believe Theory11 will provide extra decks at a lower cost to those who've already purchased the effect.
It's all in the reflexes.

The Penguin site says FAX is expected for order December 26th, 2012.

I am wondering if you can perform your normal ambitious card routine and then finish with this effect using the same deck of cards ? or you can only do this effect ?
Most ambitious tricks are a sequence of ambitious effects. One single effect is not so much fun. This will be a great finale for a whole routine. |

Penguin is shipping starting TODAY to platinum members - so reviews should start flowing in by the end of the week I suspect.

Yes -- I see that mine has shipped. I usually get it in a couple days -- so I'll try to post initial thoughts shortly.

Hi All - I'm new to the Magic Café. I've been doing magic since I was a little kid, and I'm 62 so I've been a magic lover for a long time. My main interest is sleight of hand, and specifically card magic, and impromptu magic. I just ordered "Fax" from Penguin Magic, and the order confirmation said it should arrive Christmas week.
A while back I was playing with one of the many variations on ACAAN, and I started to day dream about a new principle that I will call "I-Cards". This principle doesn't exist, and hopefully won't exist for many years. However I do think someday it will become a reality. Basically every card in the deck would contain a microcomputer processor, and each "computer" card would be programmable, and networked to every other card in the deck. The front and back of every card would be a graphical display, and be capable of displaying any card value, and back color and design pattern at will. These cards would look like normal playing cards, but you'd be able to do just about any card effect with minimal skill by programming the cards. Of course by the time such technology is affordable to the magic community it will probably be readily available in other applications, and unfortunately known to the public. I'm sure hoping Loki Kross has come up with something new and exciting for us all to play with. Who knows maybe someday he will be listed in the magic literature as the father of "I-cards"? My best, Allen |

1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
Naptownall,
Hi. Wow, that is creative! I think by then, we might have i-brain. it will just re-program the mind of a spectator to implant a memory of something that never happened! Then, you can just stand in front of them, press a button on your i-brain, and they just saw the most amazing show of their lives! Is it suddenly getting a bit scary? On a separate note, I love the way you think, never stop thinking outside the box. Karl. |
