Thomas Walter Special user Well, it is strange that at my age, I certanly should have more than 527 Posts |
Just a few thoughts when handling these type of cards:
If the spectator, when spreading the cards, suddenly pauses and separates the hands. Now, if right handed, he/she suddenly sees the whole card surface in his/hers left hand, upper and lower half, both indexes! And, when peaking, let a couple of cards pass by, riffling through some cards. Well, at my age, I think I am quite confident and used to audience management, but still, I think I am going to order a Get Sharky Deck. |

I doubt anyone could count and search at the same time unless you've selected Rainman as the spectator. |

Ok I was talking about using a ddecker which you can make up yourself as then you do really count 51 cards Gaz 🙂

But it begs the question why you would allow them to continue counting which takes a considerable amount of time, besides being a very unusual way for a spec to look for a certain card. Can’t see that ever happening again. |

D Deckers have 52 force cards and 52 indifferent cards . So you can easily creat the perfect deck for this Gaz 🙂

I like using the one special card for the pocket nightmare routine cause I only need to carry one deck with me for other tricks to perform . I just remove the special card from the deck & begin with other card tricks. Tonight I left it in the deck & still performed other tricks.

Lol Pegasus , and I hope you find it my friend .
tophatter ( a ddecker get Sharkey made yourself ) can be used for other effects too and can be overhand shuffled freely . I used to make this with regular card stock decks before deckers were ever around but of course then you would need 2 decks for full coverage . They are also perfect for complete over hand shuffling in a spectators hand with no detection at all Gaz 🙂 |

Have you guys seen Justin Willman's performance of this on his Netflix special Magic for Humans?
It is on the last episode called Times Is Relative. It starts at 14 minutes, 30 seconds. |

Thanks for sharing that, Rodrigo! Will check it out!
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

The strength of this routine lays in the moment when the deck is searched for the card. So if you're not comfortable with this part, you should not buy the trick imo.
Going through the deck looking for the card is important for the participant, but even more important for the audience. It confirms for everyone that there is nothing special about the deck. Then taking the card from the pocket, also in full view of the audience all the time, is extra strong. It's a very theatrical piece. |
