#49 Dead Cutting

Here is an ace cutting routine. It's based on Ed Marlo's "Miracle Ace Cutting" with some additional goodies by Dai Vernon, Dani DaOrtiz, Lennart Green, and myself.

For some reason I have trouble pronouncing certain words during the presentation. I have no idea why this happens. I guess it's hard to think and talk at the same time. And breathe.



PS. For some reason the queen of spades makes multiple appearances during the routine. I have no idea why this happens.

#48 Lucky Shot

In the European FISM convention in Blackpool George Luck showed me a very neat way to spin a card from the deck. The first couple of times I had no idea how he did it and I instantly fell in love with the move. George didn't have a name for the thing, so let's call it "The Lucky Shot" until he comes up with a better name.

#47 Taivex

As I posted both of the last two videos conciderably late I realized that I had essentially skipped a week. The video I posted yesterday was for last week and this one is for this week, so now I should have catched up.

The title is totally random. I have no idea what it means. The best way to describe the trick itself would be "a wrong way of doing Out Of This World".

Thanks for Risto "Taivex" Leppänen for making a cameo in the video and to Stefan Emberg for inspiring the method.

#46 Just A Coincidence

Here is a simple coincidence effect combining two powerful methods into one mediocre effect. Or it could be just a coincidence.

#45 Thunderbird Handling

I know, I'm late! I moved to a new apartment and I have had a lot of work to do, so I'm pretty surprised that we are actually seeing a new video this week.

This is Lee Asher's Thunderbird with a little presentational twist. The performance nor the technique are nowhere near perfect and I think there are a few minor flashes. Not my best video really... It is kind of relieveing to know that soon this project will be completed.

Here is my handling of the Thunderbird:
