#7 Throwback

I was originally going to post a clip of my card manipulation act that I did yesterday, but when I got the footage I realized that it was over exposed and you couldn't really see anything there. I was forced to come up with something else. Luckily I had had this one fun idea in mind for some time now, so I decided to film it this week.

Basically there are two moves here. The first one was shown and taught to me by Dan or Dave Buck when they were visiting Finland - I have no idea which one it was. The second one is the Throwback move (hence the title), which is a move I came up with some time ago.

#6: The Fixx

This one is an idea by Sami Lahtinen (the one on the right). It also utilizes an original move by Pete Purho. The shady person on the left is Pasi Hyvärinen. The beautiful camera work is done by Pekka Hartikainen. Wow, that's a lot of credit. Oh, and let's also mention Dani DaOrtiz for inspiration.


Here's The Fixx:

#5 Card to Pocket

Had a really busy week so I ended up shooting this in the train when I was coming home. It's a simple card to pocket handling that I really like. All credits go to Juan Tamariz.

#4 Beta

This week's idea was to give a little kicker to a flourishy way to find the four aces. The climax is kinda magical and based on some field testing I can say that it is very surprising to the audience. With some work this could become something worthwhile, but now it's kinda in "beta-stage". It's quick and simple, so I might go for something a little bit more complex next week. Until then, here's this weeks entry: Beta.
