Cards to Pocket/Travelers Without a Dress Coat

[AndyW]

Hi guys!
I have recently been playing around with some cards to pocket routines, specifically Tom Stone's Mr. Fogg, and I came across a bit of a problem. I don't tend to wear dress jackets with inner pockets, leaving me wondering where to put two of the cards. I have tried back pockets, which is a little awkward. I wear button up shirts with breast pockets, but only one of the breast pockets would work with Mr. Fogg. So my question is, has anyone here played around with card to pocket routines without a dress jacket, and if anyone is familiar with the Mr. Fog routine, that would be even better! Thanks!

You might be able to pull off using one breast pocket and use your mouth for the last card, changing the method as needed. I'm not familiar with the routine, but I know a cards to pocket routine and I understand your issue.

Thanks! I definitely think I will use one of the breast pockets. The mouth idea is a great idea, but I'm not sure how it would fit with the structure of the routine. I might also be able to use my shoe as a "pocket."

Spectator's hand? That would work wonderfully.

Hmmm, that's an interesting idea. I'll play with that one. I could put a dummy card in their hand at first and switch it for the real signed card later. Here's a link of the routine, Mr. Fogg, that I'm working on.

I just remembered something I saw at a Michael Ammar lecture in which he pulled a card out of his zipper or "fly" of his pants. It's a very funny idea, but only appropriate in certain situations.

The card from fly of pants is a very old gag that many use and definitely only with the right audiences. Sometimes people will take it a step further and ask, "Your card was a heart? That's weird because it feels like a "club" in there." Ha Ha. I heard that one from Kranzo who borrowed it from someone else I believe.

I'll have to watch the routine (Mr. Fogg) and get my brain juices flowing. Putting kids to bed right now though.

Ok. Thanks Rick. Mr Fogg is a very well structured routine and I think you'll enjoy it. Tom is a smart guy!

I first heard "feels like a club" line from Tom Mullica, so I think that's where Kranzo got it from.
Btw, maybe you can use spectators pocket for one of the cards.

I do believe you are right Toby. Thanks. I believe Kranzo credits Mullica for the line in his lecture.
