Heres a way to create a trick-

Think of something completely impossible, and then think of a way to do it. Ive come out with some amazing results using this principle!

Hello there.

Here's a thought:

If it's acknowledged that there's always more than one way of producing an effect, then when you think about it, we could create a tree structure of steps fom patter to effect. The number of combinations of ways from patter to effect could be gigantic.

Even if you have 2 branches at each step and 3 overall steps, this means you have 8 starting points with four intermediate steps, and two final steps. In fact, this is x^y where x is the number of branches at each step and y is the number of steps. A tree with 6 branches and 4 steps would yield 1296 methods of producing effects, all self-consistent! Of course, the number of steps isn't the same in all tricks, so the tree, if drawn out, would look slightly straggly.

I suspect that, by being proficient in the techniques at the junctions of all branches and sub-branches, one could create a convincing sequence of effects "on the fly" as it were with x and y being no bigger than 3. So when someone asks to see something again, you know you can call upon a pool of methods for an encore.

I think I need a lie down in a darkened room...
