Like most people here, I really don't want to spend that amount of money on just the one effect. So I decided to order some more bikes, along with a pack of double backers, and let my imagination flow like it should!

The Anniversary Waltz is a nice effect, and as this (rather tosh in my opinion) effect is just a work-around of the classic, I'm left thinking - "What else can you do with a deck of double-backers?"

Oh, and sorry for my absence on the forums of late - Interviews are a bu**er!

It's dangerous in those places, and rather scary; men in tights everywhere you look.

Scams & Fantasies volume 2 is £9.99 from MagicBox.

I think you've learned your Ellusionist lesson, eh, Stoner?

lol. your info is wrong dear sir. Darwin's is not even close to mine, unless the fact that its an anniversary waltz style routine..WHICH IS WHERE I GOT MY INSPIRATION FROM!
Watch it again. And $25 for an effect that I have gotten $1,000 gigs from is not worth it? Are you kidding me? I have had people e-mail me with story's about performing Autograph and getting a gig on THE SPOT! That is not worth the measly $25? Really?
I promise if you do this one time, just one time you will change your tune instantly.

Have you performed this yet?
Do you have the DVD?
Have you had people freak out and tell all their friends about what happened?
Have you had phone calls at 3 am asking you to come to a friends house to show them Autograph because EVERYONE there does not believe what your friend has told them?
So why is it crazy for someone to buy an effect that KICKS ASS?

And lets not forget we are selling SECRETS that secret is not worth $25..you got to be kidding me. And you get the double back cards a whole deck of them.

Oh and I almost forgot..it has been illegally downloaded over 2,000 times.
yes people must hate it.

After viewing the video twice, I'm fairly sure I've sussed out the method (this was not my original intention, but I'm sure we're all guilty of this to some degree or other). If I'm right (and I'm fairly sure I am) - I cannot believe that this is being sold for £20 ish .......... sheesh .........

........ and one thing that really annoys me, is them annoying videos that are soooooo misleading ........... "Here, let me show you a trick with my cards. What's that?? You want me to use your cards - not mine?? Fine!!"

.......... it's just as well your cards happen to be the same design and colour as mine ..... innit ??

This vid, in my opinion, seems to suggest, although it never actually states, that this trick could be done with a borrowed deck of cards ....... kinda sneaky in my opinion .......

Great you figured it out..bravo!
misleading? Not at all sir. I have done this with a borrowed deck MANY TIMES and yes you CAN use a borrowed deck. Not a lie or misleading, just the truth.

TheStoner wrote:Actually I was joking. This is the world's best magic DVD and you should all buy it RIGHT NOW. It is totally awesome! Don't miss out on the greatest thing ever! Justin Miller is a genius. And the hidden bonus routine of finding any card at any number in any room on any day under any circumstances is amazing (but it is VERY well hidden on the DVD and I wouldn't be suprised if no-one ever finds it). BUY NOW!!!

(Will this do Justin? Send the cheque to the usual address please)

lol, pride before every fall.

Wow - the real Justin Miller! Your "Army of 52" is great dude! But "Autograph" still sucks a bit I'm afraid.

I don't think anyone is saying that the Autograph routine is bad, but compared to the number of different routines on the similarly priced Ao52 DVD it seems like pretty poor value, even with the DBs thrown in.

Anyway if you want to send me any other (freebie) products for review on this forum I'll send you my address!
