Would love to know the name and source of the DVD that included Henry Evans. I'm a fan of his work but there's not much recorded footage of him around which is a shame.it.

I've just realised I never replied to this! :oops:

The effect was 'TEN EXACT CUTS'. You can get it at http://www.world-of-magic.co.uk/tricks.asp?catid=11 It's about £25, but the description is EXACTLY what the spectator sees, and it's damned impressive. If anyone gets the chance to see Henry Evans perform, grab it with both hands and don't let go or you'll regret it forever.

My god, what a book this is.
I had a stripper deck when I was a teenager many moons ago. I used it in the most obvious way you could think off and the illusion was sussed in about 5 minutes and that was the end of my short interest in doing magic. So when I got interested in magic again last year sparked by a Derren Brown book I avoided the stripper deck like I avoid the wife seeing my magic receipts.

However, whilst looking at Tomo's publications I noticed this book and duly ignored it but over time it niggled at me until I gave in and ordered the damn thing even though I didn't own a stripper deck. I can safely say it's probably, no not probably, it is my best purchase to date.

upon reading the first few pages I quickly realised what a complete moron I'd been as a teenager and how I should have been using the deck. I'm blown away by what can actually be done with these cards when used in the correct way.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. in-fact it should be illegal to sell a stripper deck without one :D

Thank-you TOMO. I have so many ideas leading from this book

See - divine blood retrubution; all I've accomplished here is to CUPS myself into buying a copy of The Stripper Deck & Stripped and Stacked, this evening.

Curse you, Mr. Thompson, and curse your 50% sale, too :roll: :lol:
