Trick Help : Opening on Control

[xaykogeki]

I actually watched Control a few days ago, and I was wondering, what is the trick that W:H did when he was telling people why "we" are not allowed in Casinos. it's the one where cards are appearing in one pile, where he directed passes through his shirt I think.

I saw this trick so many times, but I don't know what it is called.

PS: I tried the search button.

Its his version of the 'Invisible Palm' Routine.

It's be hard to search for it when you don't know its name...

Wayne's invisible palm was one of the first things that got me into magic.

 

[chriswiehl]

its taught on True Astonishments i believe
but u can find a version in Art of Astonishments

Check out this link: Halfway down the page, there is a great long post by Lawrence O about the various places you can learn Open Travellers/Invisible Palm. I believe that a particular history is given in Jennings 67' as well as several handlings if you are so inclined. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=303780&forum=2&start=30

Yes, is the Invisible Palm, is very easy and very good trick and if you do "Pick a Card Any Card" Tricks, this is sure a variation of those tricks

By the way I love Green Lantern comics too!!
can´t wait for The Blackest Night #2

maybe i'm just remembering wrong, but doesn't he say it's the "invisible palm" like 15 times in that video? Imjussayin...

 

[xaykogeki]

ahhh, I thought invisible palm is what he just tells to people... and not the trick name itself.....
xD

thanks for helping.

I believe this is how it went. The original was called Open Travellers. With performers like Wayne Houchin however, the popularity of the patter about the "Invisible Palm" has skyrocketed, and with it, it has basically been adopted as another name for the effect.

 

[Andy.Boss.Glass]

the open travellers presentation was much better and believable, though.

 

[xaykogeki]

Ahhh....
ok ok, thx again.

That also comes from Paul Harris publishing his Open Travelers routine under the name, and patter hook of, The Invisible Palm.


By the way, thanks to whomever it was that posted credit to Jenning's. His name isn't seen or credited enough these days.

The version that Houchin uses is Mondo Nifty Invisible Palm. Eric Mead made the suggestion of just using any four cards. This idea simplified the handling as you did not need to keep track of the ace's. Also the climax is at the right time as it is the finale, and in a strange way validates the idea of transporting a card.

i got to learn that...
it's sweet...
