Again im not sure what the name of this trick is (but id be greatful if any one who knows would let me know) as usual critizism is welcome, thanks

Would'nt the name of the trick just be a DL ?!

The vid was very dark and difficult to see but it looked like a simple DL to me

Yea, that's a nice revelation idea but nothing special other than that. I don't mean to put you down because I'm sure you could come up with a nice presentational angle for that "chi-ching" idea but it needs alot of development. That in itself is not really a trick, more of a 10 sec distraction. If you put some more time into developing a patter and try to have several different phases, each building on the last, you will have a very nice little effect. For example, the Ambitious Card. That routineis fundamentally the same effect over and over again; the selected card rises to the top. However, a good routine will have seperate phases which build on what has already passed, usually eliminating all possible ways of getting that card to the top. It is usually then rounded off with a truely impossible kicker, like ambitious card to impossible loaction. If you try and develop this effect in the same way, who knows, maybe one day people will be calling the "chi-ching" routine a classic! Let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback, i surpose becasue i do this idea a lot i just see it more of a trick then just a DL it guess just slipped my mind, oh well ill just take Goldfish's advice and build around it

I was working on a trick similar to this a while back. I was using the move in Oz's Card to Mouth (in the AC routine) - I don't know if this is a well-known move or not, so let me know ! I think it's a much more convincing switch than a DL...

I'll PM you with the move monsterz...

as tenko said the video was a little to dark to see what was goining on that clearly apart from that it was good

does brian tudor use that card to mouth in his dvd generation extreme?

I learnt the Card to Mouth years ago off a David Blane fan site I think

chi-ching sounds coiny to me, well it would would'nt it.
how about you use the card revelation as a blind for a coin production something on the lines if this is not your card i supose this is not your coin either.

its like the ending to "joker's wild"

True, but in Joker's Wild, the ending is more unexpected and therefore more powerful.

StEvEbO!
