Flapjack by EckoZero

...yes, this feller here EZ.

Available from Ecko Zero. Contact him via PM or whatever for details.

Difficulty 1-2/5

The Effect

"Flapjack is the result of several hours straightforward thinking and twisting ideas. It's a reworking of the old classic, the Anniversary Waltz. The best bit of all is, get this; you end clean! To top it all off, it's all been routined to ensure ease of handling - no more knuckle busting moves!"

The Review

Well, so what is the exact effect?

Quite plainly, after reading this you will be able to magically fuse the signature from one card on to another signed card.

Intruiged? Well, it gets even better. The good news is that the routine is logically-structured. Every point makes sense. And yes, you do end clean - although there is some clean-up necessary. Let me explain that: whilst you would need to do some clean-up, it is not essential, and the deck can be used for other effects with some careful handling and nothing and no-one will be suspicious.

There are some gaffs involved, but you will likely already have the necessaries. If not, Ecko points you in the right direction. Set-up takes all of two seconds, but the reset takes a little longer. No biggie though.

As for sleights, well, it doesn't get too bad. Not at all. Nothing beyond those who have been doing card magic for a little bit.

The document itself is just a word document...don't expect anything fancy, but then you don't need it either. It's the content that counts, eh? And the content is good Very Happy

.

Written instruction is good so the clarity is good in other words. You should have no trouble in learning this and with just a few pages of instruction it is concise too. Work through it with a deck in hand and you should have no problems whatsoever at all.

In Ecko's words the content included is in the following:

(Very) Brief intro
What you'll need
What you'll need to know
Setup
Method

Recommended.

7.5/10

Thanks dude... glad you liked it Smile

[edit]One point that was missed... I am not charging for this effect but I am being a bit selective about who gets it.
It's not elitism as such, it's just that this was several hours of my own time and effort, and as such would like it preserved to a certain degree...[/edit]

Congratulations buddy!

I'm sure it's not a half BAKED idea, we could make this a STICKY!?! Maybe you should make it a multi phase routine... You could release it as a (wait for it) CEREAL.... hahahahahah...

sorry I'll go back on the medication..

I'll get my cOAT.
