It's not really a new trick, but it's been personalised for my mum, as it's her birthday soon and I'm too cheap to buy her expensive things... so I thought I'd make her a card trick.

Lemme know what you all think!

PS: The 4 cards outjogged in the opening spread would be touched by the spectator - in this case my mum

nice one wey cool.

i think your mum would like it could you mail me a copy of the vid for my mum as I'm to lasy to do it myself. :wink:

haha... If you want it then why not

She might be a bit suspicious that they're not your hands thought :lol:

she knows my sleights are out to lunch so i'd tell her i had a friend do it for me, last year i flash stringed her a necklace pretty tacky.

Is it your mum's birthday coming up too? lol

I have to think of something to get my dad as well! 10 days apart!!!!
Any ideas for a follow-up trick for my dad?

levitating screwdriver.

flash changing ties for thoughs times when your tie matches your bosses in the office.

or one of thoughs turn over signs.... i,m busy.... do not disturb.... coffee 2 sugars please.

how about showing your dad each ace one at a time turning it face down on the pack and tabling it then taking the next card for yourself.
at the end you have all the aces he has cards that say i love you dad, corny with cards. :wink:

Nice one Ecko!

its fathers day soon, hint hint. :wink:

beautifully done. I'm robbing that for whoevers birthday is up next :lol:

i usually use a variation on a trick i always do. everyone has seen me do a trick where they pick a card and it turns out to be the only red one in a blue deck, just instead of it being red, you have them pick the only card that says "happy birthday [insert name here]" on it.
yeah, or just flash produce their suitably small present

That's great! Besides, it's the thought that counts, rather than the money you spend.

by **EckoZero** » Jun 8th, '06, 14:13

Thanks for all the kind words guys

by **Taiven_Grant** » Jun 8th, '06, 14:22

Awwww. It really is the thought that counts. I'm sure your mum will love it.

Suggestion for a subtle enhancement. How about getting someone to take a good photo of the final reveal before you perform the routine and then present the photo, suitably autographed as you see fit, as a memento of what you did? You could put the photo into the birthday card, or even in a blank card, as something else for her to open.
