The Destiny Effect

I found it kinda pointless, threads like these in general. I, as in myself, think it would only make sense to post a video of the effect from the jump. That would shut most people up, then you'd only have to deal with the rest of the *******s.
Anyways, unless I see a video, I don't think it's "exactly" as you described. And since you're putting up new videos daily it seems, getting footage should be no problem. If I see a video of the effect with no editing, I'll retract my statement where I say I think you're over exaggerating the truth.
...said plain ole' me.

edit: that comes off kinda rude, so instead of re-writing it, I'll just say I didn't mean it to this time. LOL!

Hmmmmm.
There is a demonstration I use in my mentalism show that is extremely similar.
It is a VERY old trick. The last time I remember seeing someone else doing it was Paul Gertner on the Tonight Show.
I'll put up a demonstration of it on my YouTube account soon. See if it's the same.

well i was gona say
knowing what i know now i have definitely seen this effect numerous times
i think the first time i saw it was in sankeys hands
maybe your handling is different
but it seems you werent familiar with all of the previous versions of the trick
so it probably isnt
I cant understand french..

My video
I put a super quick version of my presentation on my YouTube account. It is in fact Ed Marlo's trick, and only God and Max Maven know where all it has been published since he created it in 12 AD.

Look for the Named Deck

its so weird to actually see you
anyways
i knew about this exact handling for a long time
i know how to do it
so when i read Michales description
it came to mind for a second
but i dismissed it
lets see why
saying the card is tabled right after saying the spectator pulls it out is very misleading
you must always ask for the card back
so that you can place it on top of the deck...
before placing it back on the table
this action is _absolutely_ necessary
and is very visible
so it should have been in the description
i guess this is the problem i had with it
this is how a layman would describe the effect after seeing it
there is nothing wrong with that
but if you are going to talk to magicians
and have a tone which is purposed towards impressing them
ie
since that is the juicy part to us
and which is what we will be thinking about

This is nothing of the sort, I can assure you. I post this sort of thing to get magician feedback, see if anyone has a history, what magicians think of the idea, etc. Along with this I also send out some private ebook copies for magicians to view and give their thoughts on. It's part of my creation process and forgive me if I gave you the wrong impression.
Hey everyone. I would just like to say that this effect is Just as described! It is amazingly well thought out and a lot of work has been put into it. So people who think that this effect is fake I can honestly vouch that it is NOT fake and is 100% legit.
