Just wondering if anyone has come up with a routine that uses the extra cards that you get with the black tiger deck ?

LOL

First thing I did when I got the deck.

Try doing a Erdnase with the white 3 of Clubs. Say you can invert it instantly.


Also, you can do the same with the Ace—pretend you are 'pushing' the ace around on the card. Looks quite cool.

im pretty much willing to bet that most people did this!

Thanks for that I already thought of the erdnase for the 3 of clubs didn't think about doing erdnase with the ace

I've only opened 2 decks so far but is it safe to assume that the spare cards are the same regardless of which batch they came out of?

You can also use the black backed 3 in a regular red deck for a spectacular 'back' reveal using forces.

Here's something else to try with the black cards...

It's tricky, and I ain't tried it yet, but try using a combo of Elmsley and Flustration counts with black cards/regular cards... in principle, I think you could do an awesome 'twisting' style effect—where at the end ALL the cards turn black. Very visual.

But basically, even just shuffling the tigers makes me all gooey inside

i got the first edition packs and there was a "white 3C" and a dupe QH in mine

My first 2 decks have the white 3C and a twisted black AS. I daresay some pretty good effects would be possible using just a DL or two, perhaps the odd bit of DS tape or changin' glue, so I foresee lots of practice sessions coming up!

they must have changed it for the second edition then?.... what exactly do you mean by "twisted AS"? *curious as hell now*... hehe

Will e-mail a piccy!

Imagine the Ace...

Leave the pips alone, but rotate the middle Spade by about 12 degrees clockwise.

Very peeeeculiar.

BTW... the RED PIP DECKS are equally as sexy

If these additional cards differ from time to time and someone has a surplus, perhaps an exchange service could be started here - like the footie cards when we were at school? (OK, does anyone need a swap of that up and coming young chap called Dixie Dean?)

http://www.merchantofmagic.co.uk/ say they have stock at £6.99 a deck.

Thats where I got mine from

What are people doing with their extra cards if they're not using them in a routine? I know it may sound like a minor point but the first thing people want to do when I get the cards out is have a look and as soon as I say, "let me show you something first", they're suspicious.

Even with any false spreading of the deck or other subterfuge they still say they were suspicious.

Personally I've either used the old idea of hiding the neccesary cards behind the flap of the box thus leaving them seprated from the rest of the deck or simply having them on top of the deck with the jokers beneath them and just removing them straight away and putting them in the box.

The only problem with the latter way of concealing them is that you then have to load the cards again somehow.

I've mostly found the white 3C the hardest card to hide because the twisted ace has that wonderful low retention of vision potential and so you can pass it off as a regular ace (if you also hide the other ace). Unfortunately the white 3C kind of sticks out a little bit. Similar to a sore thumb.
