#44 Classic: Reset

This is my handling of Paul Harris's modern classic 'Reset'. When I started doing magic many years ago, this was my favourite card trick for the longest time. Over the years it has evolved and seen many changes but I still haven't found a version that would satisfy me completely. This is my current handling and there are many things that I like. The handling at the beginning is Bebel's (the master) and the clever ending solution is by Helder Guimaraes.

#43 Impossible Stop Trick

This isn't actually a new creation. This is a self-working trick that I've been doing for years now and it never fails to get a strong reaction. I hope it comes across well through the camera, too.



PS. Credits to Vernon and Daley.

#41 Color Change Theory

Fooling people with minimal sleights and some carefully chosen words is something I really enjoy. Sadly, things like that don't usually work over camera. But I'm trying.

I don't believe this actually fools anyone, but it should take a while to figure out. There's a bunch of little details that make me giggle when I think about them.

#40 Complexity

YEAH!! We are at number 40! Amazing! Only 12 more to go. That means we are only three months away from completing the project.

This week we have a rather funny way of switching stuff around. We got some classic LePaul moves and a variation of a varation of a move. A Tamariz move found in Sonata to be exact. But I don't want to be that exact. Exactly. Complex stuff.

Complexity.

#39 Mystic Moves

I found the selection with a color change! Originality!!!!1111!! No, this one isn't really about the effect. The method(s) is/are quite funny, so I hope some of you will get some kicks out of this. Two original sleights. Both quite stupid. And quite mystical.

#38 Insanity

There are two reasons why this is called "Insanity".

1) It perfectly depicts the feeling you get when you try to do it.
2) Who in their right mind would prefer kings over aces?



PS. The music is a little over the top, I know.
