Close up

Sometimes you see beautiful effect but once you know the solution you don't want to perform it anymore whereas the effect is great.
I had this feeling while watching both Noel Qualter alarmed and i deck. I was very intrigued by the effect but the explanation is a bit hard to perform and don't offer liberty for me. In fact I think I'm wrong and should focus more on the effect than the solution because your public won't or shouldn't (it depends on your level) understand how it works, well this is the meaning of magic.

This comes to the trendy subject which is about criticizing the ACAAN because of it's more an equation to solve between magician than a real audience thing. It's true you could do a CAAN (forget the "any" part) which is easier and go on. Your public won't notice any difference because they actually don't know that the ACAAN exists.

I want finish this post with a small ad for yoann with his 2nd version of his site, magicalsleight. Please have a look on it and maybe purchase some of the material available.

Just a snack

In order to make you waiting a serious card study post her

e is a little "bouchée" like we say in French.

Because after ending my exam which explains by the way why I don't often post recently, I will make a little trip. To get ready I'm learning few bar bets. I'm watching now the world best bar bets starring the real hustle team and dropped on this :

WTF!!! and who is holding that?

No one else than Paul Wilson, I'm wondering who the hell brings a deck of Jerry's Nugget in a bar? Is he showing off? Of course he is but who o

n earth besides us card geek is catching the thing?

You may think it's an magician exclusive dvd (because it's a dvd). Of course not it's available on amazon at £3,49. WTF again. The shipping costs more than the video, furthermore create the DVD itself may cost more than the price.

Back to the content, there are entertaining ideas but sometimes I feel like they're forgetting the fact if the audience thinks after the bet's wording it's impossible... then they will never take the bet.

For instance take a pen cap (bic) and drop it in a empty beer bottle and lay this bottle on the table. Do you think you can take back the cap without touching anything?

Again WTF... who will take the bet unless they no the solution.

Here it is enough WTF for today.

OK, the last one.

Jerry's Nugget 3 card Monte.
