Riot or Fallen?

[slieghtlyimpossible]

I was just wondering what you guys thought of this kind of effect (a slow visual rising card)....

I just want your opinions about this type of effect in general and about your favorite released effect...

I know that Riot and Fallen aren't the only effects like this out there but they seem to look the most visual and gradual....

Just looking for ideas...

Thanks guys!

get riot! it looks much more convincing than fallen. fallen is good but not THAT good

Yes but doesn't Riot use a gimmick?

depends, there are good points on both. are you someone that likes gimmicks or impromptu? Keep in mind, one is one handed the other two handed, if that effects your decisions. as for the best rising card, my personal favorite is definitely SHIFT by chris kenner. blows people's minds.

i agree that shifty is probably the best but out of those two i would go with riot. fallen looks great and is impromtu but there are definitely some sensitive angles.

Riot isnt very good IMO. The gimmick is obvious. Get shifty.

Hey Guys thanks for all the input!
This link is thanks to BRodgers from here on the forum ...anyway it's of a new DVD and it has a really cool card rise in the DVD...

"Reality Check" by Michael Paul

The rise is at about 2:18 in the demo...

Keep in mind that this is a multiple trick DVD not yet released...

I like Riot. Don't get me wrong, when performed right Fallen is amazing. But personally, I like Riot better. Plus its one-handed.

I've used both RIOT and Fallen - both have their places. I was a bit hesitant to try RIOT out in real performance because of what's actually going on. But I'm really glad I did - I remember showing it to my brother and he isn't easy to fool as he lived with me for 20 years, seeing alot of magic, but he flipped out at this. It was very funny.

I'd say pick up both - I knew roughly how Fallen was done from the demo, had no idea about RIOT.

Regarding Shifty, it's a cool effect, but it's nice to be able to raise the card without moving your hands too much, if at all.
