Hi guys!! just to ask, I saw this effect performed by wayne I really like it, something I can definitly use in my routines (card cheater haa!) Does anyone knows where I can learn this?
Invisible Palm
- Thread starter RDChopper
- Start date
Wayne uses the basic structure of the Invisible Palm from Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment, the book series. I have been using this routine for quite some time whats great about it is that it is logical and there is no setup whatsoever and when performed right can hit very very hard. But remember that once you get the moves down work on the presentation very hard. Wayne's presentation is nearly flawless so when you first start performing it try and structure your performance after his and once you get the hang of it make it your own. I must warn you that if not presented in the right way this trick can go WAY over your spectator's head and its easy for them to get lost. I've seen it done far too many times. This trick requires good timing in your presentation and patter that makes sense.
Good Luck!!!
Good Luck!!!
if your looking for a more visual instruciton like a dvd. david stone has a decent variation on one of his real secrets of magic volumes. i just dont remember which one, but if you check the list of tricks im sure you could find out
David Stone has a version in Real Secrets of Magic 1 where, in the end, the kings suddenly and unexpectedly change into jacks. this is the one i normally do, and is one of my best tricks, as it fits perfectly in conjunction with my routine.
However, another one i do sometimes, depending on the situation is Bill Malones version, which can be found in On the Loose 4. I find Wayne's version is a little too bland, and id rather perform one of these two.
good luck!

While I must admit that the IP that Wayne performs doesn't have as much flair as Stone's but to me the one that Wayne performs is the best for on the spot with no setup whatsoever. Don't get me wrong there are better IPs than the one that Wayne performed but I like the fact that I can go right into it without looking for the jacks or kings or aces etc.
A humble card enthusiasts view...
The travellers plot is great.
It's easy to understand, simple to follow, intrinsically very visual, yet still hit's on a cerebral level.
Wayne uses the 'Mondo-Nifty' handling from the AoA. This is great as it seem'a very naturalistic and does not require you to use a four of a kind. I personally use a four of a kind, just as I think it helps maintain momentum through the routine, but it's beside the point.
While David Stone's (which I hear is actually yannick Chretiens handling, which he allowed David to use with credit) Has all the french flair he is famous for, I think it detracts from the original travellers impact, as the kicker may lead the spectator's to assume that there are more cards in play than it would seem.
Larry Jennings original routine is brilliant, and the handling in TOOC is ingenious, but Paul Harris' Version is definitely my favourite.
