[caruso]

just wamnted to tell this... kinda stupid of me...

forgot to put my deck on the fridge last night (if you all dont know, it does help your deck a bit in some way) so today in the morning before school i put it in the freezer to get it cold fast so, 1o minutes later took em out and they were frozen.... FROZEN
lol
.... just wanted to tell... yeah that was stupid...

 

[The Dark Angel]

I've done this before with my Guardians. Do you know what the great part was? even after they were frozen they still handled just fine.

too late...

 

[Sam Hardy]

Haha, I'm gonna try this with an old deck of Bikes.

Sounds awesome. =P

 

[Cyrus]

That gave me an idea that could be a cool reveal. Have a card frozen inside a small piece of ice...

Sounds pretty good, but how would you reveal it? Having it in your pocket would be a bad idea.

See The Magic of Michael Ammar, "The Ice Man Cometh."

He did some more work on the effect, and lectured with those touches after publication.

There's also a very nice signed, borrowed, serial number identified Bill in Ice routine published in a small, out of print book call Theory into Practice.

Something cooler (no pun intended) would be setting fire to a card a then having the ashes appear inside an ice cube taken from their hot chocolate. wtflip!?

Hmmm.....


How about this...
The person picks a card.
Without looking at the face, you rip a corner off and burn it.
Then you take the ashes and drop them into the spec's drink (or make them disappear)
Inside one of the Icecubes is that corner of the card.

I'll get it on video soon and dig this thread back up.

What about Solid Deception by Paul Harris with a frozen deck.

 

[Cyrus]

Sounds pretty good, but how would you reveal it? Having it in your pocket would be a bad idea.

Ya, probably wouldn't be to bright of an idea. Everyone would be pointing at the wet spot on your pants and your leg would be really cold. "Behold...I have produced your card from my wet pants pocket. Do you wish to examine the card?" *Audience runs other direction*

Cool, I'll be sure to check it out.

Anyone interested in using Ice within their magic should make sure to check out my booklet, 'Freezer Burn', released soon.
It contains five effects centering around either producing ice, barehand or the apparent transformation of water to ice.
All effects use REAL ice, no slush powders or gelling agents.

PM for details!

@Chris:
I understand that you want to sell your booklets, pdfs, and other paraphernalia, but a lot of the posts I read from you are simply advertising. Give it a rest.

Make a topic in one of the proper forums, and if the item is good, then people will buy it and talk about it.

I've performed several different card-in-ice-in-drink effects, and although the idea is really nice, often times it doesn't turn out as well as we'd imagine. I think a major reason for this is the obviousness of the required set-up.

Of course, with a proper storyline, presentation, patter, and revelation, it could potentially be an amazing effect.

Just some thoughts,
Ben

I just froze my cards lol. thay are frozzen...
and I put another deck in the fridge becuse someone said it helps the cards? what dose it do to the cards to help them?

How about this for an effect, I got the idea from david blaine..

Spec picks a card. and the card is dropped, and you hear it hit the ground, and ice breaks off of the card just choosen.. I got that idea from david blaines glass card effect

 

[dejavu05]

I did that with my Guardians and then I could do Vertigo so easy!

 

[EJ]

I have never heard of anyone who intentially froze a deck of cards. How does it help them (if it does)?

 

[StevenLevitt]

How does putting a deck of cards in a fridge or freezer help? Can someone explain? I have never heard of this before
