Thanks.
I've always loved close-up magic and I started with card tricks when I was 7 really.
I suppose most magicians always carry a pocketful of some props with them to be able to perform at the drop of a hat. Perhaps having a deck of cards, a TT, and a few sponge balls in their pockets is enough to spring into action at a moment's notice and perform a nice little routine very spontaneously. I usually only carry some billets, a pencil, and a s**** g******.
With regards to the Slow Motion Card Vanish, it too is very impractical. Although no gimmicks are necessary, as in Macdonald's Aces for example, the trick is only effective for one viewer or for tv, due to the brutally restricting angles. For this reason, I would rarely ever perform this trick. I suppose I will keep it locked away in the back of my mind for the correct intimate moment when I am with just one other person.
For fun, I just thought I'd perform it and post it on Facebook just so I have a record of it.
Blessings on thee, little man

Outward sunshine; Inward joy,
Blessings on thee, Barefoot Boy!
