Borrow a deck completely impromptu using a M****D Deck is easy way and I often do with N**D Deck. <br /><br />It takes about 3 hours of practice and weekly performance to stay current. Once you have this great flow and story and a miracle. Fools many magicians.<br /><br />I bought it twice and one gave to a friend.<br /><br />5/5 ratingTremorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366304273996051998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516842069489854717.post-52142006404682858552010-02-09T13:28:46.663-08:002010-02-09T13:28:46.663-08:00Hiya Jerry!

I perform this effect last (so no mem) and will actually give my deck to the spec.<br /><br />Also, more and more, I get asked to perform at some other social event, where I'm not "working" and I always agree to show something. This fits the bill wonderfully, if they've got some cards around.<br /><br />And, now that I think about it, I can also always use another magician's deck, if we're all hanging out- fun!<br /><br />~jamieJamie D.

What's important is that the mental work is far, far less.<br /><br />Yes, you'd have to set up a borrowed deck to do this. But how often do you actually borrow a deck? You can bring your own (as magicians tend to do) and leave it with the spectators afterward, if you want.<br /><br />2) You could also do this with virtually no mental effort with a m****d deck. (I don't shy away from this method either, but you can't leave the deck behind.)<br /><br />Why do you feel that Diplopia is worth three weeks or more of study to perfect, given the other methods available?<br /><br />Thanks, and best,<br />JerryJerry Dunnhttp://www.myfavoriteplacenatgeo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516842069489854717.post-85108566207643611252010-01-11T15:14:53.792-08:002010-01-11T15:14:53.792-08:00As Jimmy said, a great video - especially impressi...As Jimmy said, a great video - especially impressive for a first try.<br /><br />Diplopia reminds me very much of "Two in the Pocket," but at that price I'll probably have to give it a try. Making it SO convenient to purchase, just causes more temptation.<br /><br />Congratulations on another a- a- (Oh no!

The first vid looks very polished!<br /><br />I love that you can buy directly from your site, mostly because in past Magic Friday's I've wanted to get something but always found it weird to pursue a magic product armed with little more than the name of it. Good to at least have a link or a selling page now :)<br /><br />This trick is a tough one for me because it's not a new "plot" at all (at least I'm pretty sure I've read a few with the same premise), but obviously there is something special in the method that makes this version earn your admiration. It's hard to know whether I'll be happy with that specific method after shelling out my cash (a hard thing to do for a grad student). <br /><br />It is nice that this doesn't start out as a force though, as so much stuff out there starts with a common force and then just proceeds with stretching out the revelation. Nice alternative if somebody wants to "think of a card."Jimmy Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863140705444093748noreply@blogger.com
