My op version but not under 51's restrictions

I have started this version on the Paul CUMMINS one.
On this take i find an interesting way to involve the groove electric switch.

Set up : Have the 2nd card from the bottom reversed.
Explain the principle, and what the spectator has to do.
For instance, you have to deal the card face up in this way (you show him as you explain) and when you think the op is the next card deal it face down.(you deal such as 6 cards face up and 1 face down. You now reverse the exemple op by showing it's not it and laying it on the face up pack.)
Hand him the deck and have him start dealing cards.
When he has his op face down on the table packet.
Offset it to your outer left side of the pack.
Take back the remaining cards and as you deal two cards on top of the op, secure a break under 3 from the bottom by explaining you won't deal each card face up because i know you don't like suspence.
Execute a turnover pass under the 3 cards and spread cards without of course revealing the face down card.
You have to get the 2nd card from the bottom in groove electric switch fashion and lay it on the tabled one as you say before revealing your op let me recap the situation.
Perform a fan and tell there is 51 cards face up and just one face down and you close the fan by executing the groove electric switch.
You've just switch spectator's op for yours.

Hope you'll like it.

Best,
Paul.

Open prediction issue

This I've worked a lot on this paul curry's problem. But I think I still don't catch where I should go.

Well, there is the 51 faces to north's part and the more direct way.

I'm realizing that I should probably don't need to fulfill all the book of specifications and try to focus more on what the spectator sees.

The point is Stewart James has reinvented the open prediction's plot and he has closed it, put it restriction. It's just a show off between magician and not for the spectator and this is the point I blame.

For instance, BAXTER's solution solve every conditions of the 51 faces to north but it's far from being the most dramatic one.

Cheers,

Paul

save money

Just one thing to say.
Do not buy luke dancy's sin city.
This one is a real crap and I don't understand how he can even release such a poor dvd unless he has wanted to scam his usual customers. It's very disrespectful.
The worst thing here is that he's not a bad magician and he has few killer thing.
I hope this dvd was mistake and he won't publish any more shit like this one.
Cheers.

trend's observation

Recently I think we're facing a new approach of card magic. The coin magic's one. Of course we can see here the influence of the visual card magic from d&d.
I think it's because card magic has been quite studied and as the easiest way to create is to get inspire from existing thing, card magic is evolving in the coin magic's way.
I noticed it when I thought there is less one ahead structure today than in 90's.

PDF reader

Today I want talk about a portable PDF reader.

It's such a revolution for me.

I've got lot of magic's pdf so I've decided to purchase a kindle and I tell you that rocks.

I know how exhausting it is to read some pdf on your laptop or computer. So please have a look on the e ink technology.

You won't be disappointed.

If I've convinced you to purchase one of these please be sure how pdf files are dispayed.

Come back.

This is a come back. This time I'll try to keep posting new thing.

This year I've been quite in creation mood and kept noting everything I've created.

This last days I was inspired and I thought about a new plot.

Well not exactly.

There is no new effect like a sandwich or triumph or anything like that but still there is a different approach.

Here it is.

I called it POV which means of course point of view.

The routines' structure is like :

the spectator sees/thinks one thing but the magician sees another thing.

For instance, the spec/layman chooses one card and its loses in the deck. You spreads the deck and nothing appears.

But now you turn yourself to show what you see from your point of view...one card is return, the selection.

It was just an idea for this evening.

By the way PSG (paris saint germain/football team) has won against Marseille today.

Blackpool

In a bit more than one week I will be at blackpool for the annual convention. It lasts 3 days from 18th to 21th. I've never been there so I'm quite anxious about it.

I will do a recap about the convention. Maybe a vid, dunno will see.
