loops main problem

[Mike Lucas]

my loops breaking during haunted pack when I perform it just now!lucky,the pack cut in half.so my audience not realize that loops.any tips?

I would say that when you're doing the trick. Make sure the top pack of the deck is less than half the deck. If you are using more than half, chances are it's going to break. Also if you having this problem I would suggest trying other haunted packs like vector or haunted.

I've done that.

when I practice it,it work smoothly,but when it come to performance,it break.


and what the others version of haunted pack?

If it works fine when you practice but not when you're performing you're obviously doing something different when you perform. Figure out what's going wrong and correct it.

Arman already told you a couple other versions, Vector and Haunted.

After you have the card returned and set the deck down, with the looped threaded through the deck, there will be more tension on one side than another. You can re-calibrate the tension by bringing your hands together over top of the deck in a praying position (as your lightly rub your hands together) and then returning them to the palms down position for starting the animation. This will even out the tension.

Two other tips: 1. When the card is returned try to have it returned somewhere in the top quarter of the deck so the loop has less cards it needs to move. 2. Don't rush the animation, but don't go too slow either. Setting the tension quick, or prolonging it, will cause the loop to snap.

Hope that helps.
