Aha!

I got bored last night. So I made videos.

This is one of about 9... (yes I got VERY bored)

This is the fabulous twisting the aces. As invented by Mr Dai Vernon. As performed by me

Usual comments/constructive criticisms would be apreciated


[edit] After a tip off about a flash, I reshot and reposted. The link above is now the new video [/edit]

[edit2]I'll leave the original up for comparison, but here is the new improved EC handling! Please ignore the sugar-induced insanity

nicely done.

I do a bit of a different handling, but to each it's own.

Maybe I knew what I was looking for, but I believe on the second turn over, it really looked like a break where only one card was still face down.

Thank you!

Hmmm. I used the one described in the original trick. Only learnt it recently so I haven't had much chance to play around with handlings etc yet...

You mean the ace of clubs?
Yeah you can see the get ready. For some reason that one card just would not buckle... it ended up being a total hash although I think the actual turnover itself looked ok

Nice job. Your EC comes off as a bit suspect to me. I don't want to go into details here, so I'll pm you about it. Overall the effect was nicely done. Always a classic, and one that will serve you well forever.

Good work Ecko i enjoyed that.

Your EC looks fine to me, its something i've been learning for ages now and still can't do properly.

Thank you

It's funny really. The EC is one of those things that no lay person ever picks up on even though to me it looks horrendous and to other mages it looks dodgy.

However, Demitris advice was invaluable, and now my EC doesn't look hugely suspicious even to me

Very nicely done. I've seen this trick done a ton of times and still have no idea how to do it. Your patter is really funny. I enjoyed that performance a lot.

Ecko, any chance of a repeat performance with your new improved EC.

loved the video and tell me please where you got ur shirt!:)

Very nice. I liked your shake with the "ohhh yeah!" for the Spades

I think you just need to make your EC smoother Well done though, I did enjoy the presentation

Lozey - I got the Dragonforce shirt when I saw them live earlier this year. I'm gonna get a Sonic Firestorm one when I go see them in December

Andrew - Thanks! I thought "Hmmm. I look like a silly sod, but ah well... it's funny..."

pdjamez (sorry!!) - Will do! Just need to muster up some sugar energy (mmmm whole bag of skittles...) and then I'll reshoot with new cards and an improved EC
