Today has been a great day for me. I've been on a role ALL day. It's been a pretty boring and rainy day for me. My parents are out at work, one of my brothers is away at college, and the other is away on vacation...without me. I was EXTREMELY bored so I grabbed my deck of cards and began experimenting. About an hour in I came up with a certain sleight of hand move that was VERY easy and began trying some stuff out. Today I came up with THREE effects.
One is a sandwich effect where the I place the jokers in an empty card box and hand it to the spectator to hold while he has a card selected which vanishes and appears inside the box in his hands between the jokers.
The second isn't too great but I show them some statistics about cards and then talk about how I hate it when I forget to take the jokers out of the deck because it always messes up the trick. Then I present a deck of cards that I tell them I left the jokers in. I tell them that either this deck is cursed or my luck is just terrible because whenever I use this pack they always pick the jokers. Then, of course, they pick the jokers in a very clean way.
The third is a Blackjack demonstration I do. I won't go into specifics but basically after explaining some things about Blackjack I mix up the cards and have the spectator choose where I deal from yet I deal the cards so that all the players have Blackjack and the dealer is left with terrible cards. I love this because it's really easy and ends COMPLETELY clean.
Anyway I just figured I'd share that with you.
Thanks,
Charlie
