Any card at any number

The berglas effect peformed by the man himself at the session has a huge influence on me. No matter the solution there is time when you see a trick it enlights you. This happenned on me and I had a flash. A past discussion with a nice magic buddy came back in my mind where he told me a good trick should not involve many techniques. I have a technique I've created few months ago and now it's time to use it effeciently. It's always a pleasure to find a meaning to your creations. Of course nothing revolutionnary but it allows you to re-fool audience with a classic card magic technique.
I combined these ideas and I came up with a solution to the acaan and I have to say I'm quite satisfied of myself on this one.
Now for some details on the solution that I won't give right now.
I don't want to focus my magic on a showoff I want the audience to participate to the trick, to be part of it and to feel clever. I want them to think because of them the magic happen. For my version I success to obtain a result where I can almost never fail. I didn't say automatic but there is 3 out and of course one of them is better than the others. I introduce this trick as an estimation performance that I miss by one.
Here was my tip for the day.

By the way muscle your pinky it definitly worth the effort.

I came back from Gloucester earlier this week.

This session was a great convention even if at the end I was a bit disappointed. I'm responsible too because I didn't try at anyway to make contact with other magician. The convention was quite well organized even if the hotel wasn't at the best location in the city I think. There was a great line-up compare to the number of participant.

I saw the real deal too, the Berglas effect performed by the man himself. Honestly I have no idea how he did it but he'll publish a book during May maybe I 'll buy it.

I thought Darwin Ortiz has good theory.

Rune Klan is really a funny and creative guy.

Deutsch rocks. (Pit Hartling and Denis Behr)

Tyler Wilson is awesome. Creative, funny and generous. Thanks mate.

Sorry but Benjamin Earl is weird...

Sorry again Andy Gladwin but your dvd is useless.

By the way in Great Britain, even if the beer is cheap it's also weak in alcohol. Sometimes it tastes like water...

Happy new year everybody.

I've enjoyed my Xmas vacation a lot.

I've purchased some interesting material and keep working mine.

Next week, there is the Session in Gloucester organized by Andi Gladwin and Joshua Jay and I'm going to be present there

This is my 2nd convention, my first one was Blackpool 2010.

In order to make worth it the convention there is few things you have to get ready :

-Be social.

-Master some unknown materials as yours or some hided old-magazine one.

Because attend to a convention is far from cheap.

I'll arrive late Friday and go back Monday.

So for the math it costs me :

-70 € of flight

-75£ of convention's fee

-75£ of hotel

-£25£ of car renting

So I don't calculate the food and drinking (even if the beer is cheap in UK).

But we can expect more or less 300£ for 3-4days.

I think everybody should attend once at least to a convention and it's your duty to make it worth the bill.

You'll need to socialize in order to keep contact with some magicians and learn some marvelous tricks or technique. Really don't lose time to sleep.

I remember last year at blackpool I was so tired that I went to sleep whereas Bebel (one of the french master) performed one of his creations which he used to show twice a year and I missed it.

Here it is I'll probably write a report of the convention next week.
