I'm looking for a tip

Postby Mr.Toolz » May 13th, '06, 23:57



Hi guys, when using decks as ''SVENGALI'' usually spectators ask for examination... as I am showing the trick to my freinds I find lame excuses no to give them the deck to examin

I use excuses like sorry man dont trust you, you always ruin my things
this kind of excuse works for my freinds that I know but if I want to show it to someone I don't know well it wouldnt quite work...

... so I was wondering which kind of way can I leave the spectator without giving them the deck to examin...

I went to the magic store where I bought the deck... and the lady told me to say that I dont need to proove anything to the spactator and also may say that there is a small trick in the deck...

I think by saying that it will ruine the trick So I wondering if you can give me a better tip...

THANK YOU

PS: sorry for the spelling mistakes... :D

The best way to counter this kind of thing is to carry a clean and a gimmicked deck in your pockets. Start your performance with a few effects that requires no gimmicks and presentation. Be sure to feel free if the spectator wants to inspect it. After you gained their confiance, subtely switch the packs (like, putting it in your pocket, pretending to have nothing more to show, and then "remember" that cool trick and take the other deck, ready for your trick). Hope it helps!
(P.S: Wich shop have you visited? was it in Montreal?)
