It looks like a nice trick, but somehow or rather, I am not too impressed by it.
Maybe it's just me. I feel a DL may suffice the trick. Granted, you cannot flash the face (with a little creativity actually, you can) and it won't be as clean. I just feel it's nothing particularly stellar. I don't doubt it's a good trick though, IT IS A GOOD ONE, it just doesn't push my buttons. Just my opinion, Take care guys, Logan

I have this effect an like it. It is very clean and, at no point, do you appear to do anything "fishy". Very simple to do for the impact you get. I am trying to figure out how to work this into the end of an AC routine. It would make for a strong finish and you could leave the card (signed with tag) with the spectator.

MSD921 I know this would retract from the original idea of it being clean but how about a pass at the point in which it is tagged? So it appears that the string has jumped to the selection which is "TAA DAA" on top. I dunno maybe it won't work .... I do however wonder about the DL that Logan was talking about? I imagine he does not have the trick but I do and can't see a DL beign a practical use in this effect?

It's an awesome effect, but doesn't tickle my fancy. Take care, Logan P.S. I hope I'm not passing myself off as being one of those magicians that needs a trick to fool him before he considers it good. Oh no, far from it. I love simple effects and many of the effects I buy I already know how they work. But somehow this one just doesn't 'do it' for me.

Oh I am not saying it has to fool you or you have ot like it ... by no means. I was jsut wondering about the DL I guess the end results could be the same but the "EFFECT" is not the same in my opinion.

I am not selling this but....I do not see how a DL can accomplish this effect. After you punch the hole in the card, and string it with the tag, you actually show a card, NOT their card, clearly hanging by the string - front and back. You insert the "wrong" card in the deck, while the spectator holds it and they pull on it and their card is now attached. The DL method would work if they never saw the card after the lift, but they do. Not sure if I clarified things or made them more confusing!

This looked VERRRRRY good. I'll take a chance and get it. I'm curious as to why our good friend Logan wasn't impressed by the video?

I also have it and like it a lot. A very interesting plot. It will take a little practice to attach the tag gracefully. The tag is not gimmicked but sometimes they get tangled etc. Other than that, the effect is very strong.

Its diabolical. When I watchecd the demo, I tried to think of everywat possible to try and figure out how it was done because it just fooled me that much, however, when I got it, I was surprised, not in a bad way though. The method I was thinking of was close, but would never have got it, my mind isn't that quick. I like it though, ive just got to get a good hole punch though, you don't want to 'Miss' if you know what I mean

I watched the demo yesterday, and while I deduced the method right away, I think this is an excellent effect with loads of possiility, especially for promoting yourself or a client. I will be ordering this, for while I was able to figure out the method, it is only ethical and fair to support the creator, and often the creator has subtle handling tips that make the efeect easier or more convincing. Overall, I think this an excellent effect, clearly impossible to any lay audience.

He was selling the tips and subtlies at his lecture here in NC recently. It was $5 bucks I think ... but he said it would be $8 or $9 for the hard coly and $5 for the PDF .... I dunno if he has it on his site or not but you can try.

Yea, I had to come up with my own way to do it as you are right, the video is a little jumpy.
The "card" looks too thick even on bad video and something is definatly "flapping" when he waves it around. Maybe the trick is awesome, but that performance is poor. |
|||||||||
Automark New user 100 Posts |
As many times as I seen the video I can not see the THICK or the Flapping
However I would like ot say after seeing Chastain do it and getting his Tag Along I liked it a lot .... Did you "MAKE YOUR OWN VERSION?" That is neat I tried and hit dead ends ... PM me and let me know the version you came up wiht and I iwll let you know how close it is. Auto PS: I have hung with Chastain he wouldn't mind me checking it out and comparing. |

The effect would be the same, that of tagging an indifferent card and having it magically change into the correct card. I'm going to echo logan that this was pretty apparent from the demo, and not only that but this is just a variation on the same old "Look this is an indifferent card and *wham* its your card". Same with chicago opener, any "Your Signed Card", cards with stickers, ect, ect. Looks pretty good, but this looks like something that should be in lecture notes or in a book... |
