Upper Hand does the same thing but without the moves, so it is nearly self-working as very basic card handling skills are needed. The advantage of the versions you mentioned are, you don't need gimmicks to do them. With Upper Hand you can use a borrowed deck as long as you have the jokers supplied, which is something I always do. I also love the Jennings routine, and if you didn't know, I have a cards to pocket fetish lol, Chris Congreave and I released a DVD (Pocket This) solely on cards to pocket plots..... Gary.

The gimmick does the rest for you! I've started to do Thought Wave again, I've made the card A4 size so the whole table can see it! Gary.

Good idea for Thoughtwave Gary !!! I don't think any UK dealers are selling Upper Hand yet,so will order it off Penguin its flat pack so should be okay.

@Gary, thank you very much for your honest opinion!
I am in a gimmickless phase right now which is why I still try to resist buying this, I might change my mind one day ! |

Mine was shipped today so have the tutorial downloaded ,this will make me look like a real magician for sure,almost self working great for the hobbyist who can't master difficult sleight of hand,Gary demonstrates the effect clearly. You can track your order with Penguin too,it came to just over £12 so well worth it for something you will use all the time

Nice effect. I prefer sleight of hand versions but this is nice if you aren't comfortable with sleights. If I end up using this, I'll probably add some sleights to make the necessary move less discrepant but certainly passable if you want to use the handling as is. $15 is a tad steep IMO.

Well I ordered mine off Penguin on the 10th Feb and still waiting, so not too impressed. I know it takes a while from the USA to the UK, checked the tracking details and says it is in transit. Was pleased to get the instant download though and have made up my own gimmick, works a treat.
Thanks Gary, love your magic. Paul |

I purchased this effect and I am glad I did. Really easy and it's a jaw dropper. Look forward to Gary's other releases.

I have this, and love it. I do have a question: Could someone either answer or PM me with what I would use to replace the gimmick when it wears out? I would love to know if there is something hardware store-bought that would be a good alternative. Thx.

If you owned this, you would already have that information from the Download...

Zaprig1,
Your comment says a lot about how you interact with the world. Your comment assumes I don't own this, but you don't know that. I do own this. I must have missed it from the download. You know, Zaprig1, you have many choices in life of how you communicate. You can go through life making negative assumptions about people or you can make positive assumptions. When you make negative assumptions, you create negative relationships. Who would you rather hang out with? Someone who makes negative assumptions about you or someone who makes positive assumptions about you? Remember, you reap what you sow. kj |

OK, I re-watched the video. When I originally watched the video, I only heard him say: "sprayed with a special adhesive", and I missed the section on how you can make your own gimmick. I really like that he explained exactly how to make your own replacement gimmicks.

I am wondering for people who have performed this a bit: Do you have any problem with the discrepant move where the cards are dealt to the other hand and the hand is turned over to drop the one packet on the table? I suppose the key is to do it at the right pace, definitely not too slow or people will catch on to the discrepancy.

Hi mate, I originally came up with this routine many years ago and Gary added the "special something" that really lifted this trick. And as such I've been performing it for off and on 7 or 8 years, and honestly I can say hand on heart no one has ever noticed the discrepancy.
They only ever act totally amazed, even more so with the you know what! |
