Fixxes and alternative endings...

Postby Miniolo » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:28 am

Hi there;) just wanted to throw this in ;) i recently had the first person that tried to f*** up French kiss trick from Wayne houchin ??

She signed the freely chosen card and i putten it on the top of deck necktied the deck etc... when i begon folding the card she said it wasnt here card.. so i could not show here the identity of the card of course so... what i did

i putten the card face down unfolded on the top of the deck ... did a double showing HER card... and folded her card quickly so.. i was left with here card folded and my card on top ... i had here check if it was truly her card and asked her to continue to fold it in a 4th of a card.. i folded my card with a mercury fold and putten it in finger palm... when she checked her card i asked it back.. i fold it with the face towards her and switched her folded card for my folded card in fingertip palm... when that was done i wrote on a different card ( DUPLICATE ) a identical mark of my card... so after i folded that the same way as here card i switched it again with a Billet switch...

after that i ditched the other card when putting the sharpie away... i managed to succeed ...

Do u guys have alternative handlings...(FIXES)

what if someone asks to see whats between the 2 jokers when u just started a sandwich effect...

i know if they ASK u doing something wrong...

but its better to be prepared WHEN it happens

I used to do that all the time, look for thinsg that could go wrong and work out a way to cover them. It's good to be prepared for things but you'll never be able to cover everything up and there are always going to be those horrible people that just want to go out of their way to mess things up for you.

This was one of the reasons I didn't like French Kiss.... I think the effect is absolutely beautiful but for me (bare in mind I'm not much of a cardie) the working was a little obvious, though I often think that's just me, I've seen enough competent performers have no problem with this.

I worked out a different method for the effect, if you want it, I'll PM you (and anyone else who's interested).
