So... quite a good effect then?

Any angle issues if you are table hopping?

I have an instant cure for CUPS by the way. Its called Mrs Wizz! Since her retirement she is aleays home when the post comes so there is no sneeking things upstairs quietly unfortunately.

I'm interested in hearing about the angles too. Anyone got any feedback?

Angles are pretty darn good, as most of the 'moves' (such as they are) are pulled either under 'close cover' (you'll understand when you get the effect), or strong misdirection; you could work this almost 360 degrees with little to fear...so long as you don't have specs either directly above, or directly below you (or inside of you...but hat's a different effect altogether :shock:

)

Are there any clothing restrictions?
Thanks.

You need to be wearing a button-up shirt (either long-or short sleeved)

Bought this a week ago and its genius.

There are so many possibilities both for effects and pocket management for adding gaffed cards etc.
Will take a fair amount of practise to get it smooth but definitely worth the money.

Also... what the hell is 'cups'?

C.U.P.S.stands for Compulsive Uncontrolable Purchasing Syndrome, a largely ficticious ailment which we invented to use as an excuse when buying yet more magic 'n stuff. No known cure, just keep on buying!

There is no getting round this? I don't even wear shirts to work and really don't like them.

Well...yes; there technically might be a way around this issue, bud you'd have to modify the 'certain something', and perform lower (this could, however lead to many funny looks, comments, and possible arrest, so I'd not recommend it - those who have this will know what I mean :twisted:

)

Serious answer though, Dave, it really should be a shirted performance, to work correctly - trying to work around this would be difficult in the extreme bud - sorry

Cheers for the advice.

That's a little gutting to hear but I guess that I'm going to have to start wearing a shirt soon as it seems to be limiting not doing so. At least this excuse is not a step closer to joining the rat race.

...Did I mention that you also need to waer a tie and bowler hat, for this to work successfully?! :lol:

by **DaveM** » Oct 23rd, '11, 19:23

Heh... the bowler hat isn't so bad.

Intriguing...

Can the button up shirt be of any colour? I have another effect that requires the shirt to be black, to match the gimmick, and I had to customise the shirt to fit said gimmick.

Is this one more transferable between different shirts?
