Trying to Decide Between a Few 1-on-1's

[James Smith]

So these are the ones I'm considering getting

Death to the Double Undercut
Static (I don't do much cardistry at all)
ThreeFry (I do a little coin magic, but not too much)
Blind (I invented a similar effect, but in mine I have to turn over the card)

I know they're all quite different, but I want some input.

 

[aJohnson]

Well my inputs on those (Which I have)

DTTDU: It's simple but that's what I like, it's also pretty damn cheap.

Static: It's a cut I like because it's not too much fiddling and doesn't require expert cutting skill (Which I evidently don't have)

Blind: This is a trick I personally love and perform often.

It depends what you're after, are you after a card trick, a way to force a card to bottom/top , a cut or a coin trick.

Alright, thanks. Like I said they are quite different so I'm having trouble deciding.

 

[krazykards]

you are really looking at 3 or 4 different types of instruction so decide on what you want more: a trick, a cut, etc

Get Three Fry and Blind. Also consider Missing Link. I love it and use it at least 2 or 3 times a day!

 

[magicman1040]

out of those

out of those i would recommend blind because of how strong it is, and DTTDU is only like 3$ so it might be good to have something like that in your arsenal.

Blind

Blind is cool and all but how often do you carry to differnt backed/colored decks?

It also needs some preptime on both decks.

I would go for DTTDU or blind. You said you weren't doing too many coin tricks. So, if you're not doing many why get it? Unless of course its a new field you want to get into, in which case you'll need to put in quite a bit of time. The same goes for static. As for me, I would personally choose blind, simply because its something I can perform, and I know enought "moves" or sleights, that DTTU wouldn't be of too much assistance. So Blind is what I'd go with.

If you do it with half decks, so one person takes spades and diamonds, the other clubs and hearts and you go for a pair, e.g. 5 hearts, 5 diamonds - it works pretty good.

Dont bother with Death to.... and Static, one a double undercut is fine, two you can find allot better FREE Cardistry Tuts at Decknique.

Damn you, you've just made me buy Missing Link. I wish I never had a bank account, grrrr.

yeah, but it's worth it.

 

[aJohnson]

yeah, but it's worth it.

True, just finished watching it. Time to scrap around my house to find some rubber bands.

 

[James Smith]

I have a question about DTTDU. Can you control a card from the middle of the deck to the top? You know if you're holding a break?

 

[James Smith]

I went with Blind and ThreeFry. I love them both. I'll be practicing ThreeFry a lot.
