Something I`ve been working on for awhile.

Shot on iphone.

No dupes were used.

This is a method invented by myself.

Looks great, but seems a little too similar to something already available on the market from Mr. Nardi.

Not restricted to being boxed.

So different method.

Is the method different from Daryl's acr ending?

Don`t know.

Why would you do it out of the box? Maybe as part of the routine, but why close the routine with something so similar to what has already happened? However as part of the actual routine (not as a closer) the out of box would be nice. Just a thought.

Nice effect

I find this difficult to believe. The box addittion is a nice touch though, but I don't like the dirty finish on it.

Did you make the gimmick up yourself?

Really not seen it until i looked on you tube earlier....its hard to believe but true.

He does a brilliant routine. Watched it about 10 times just to take in how good he did all the different phases.
I can only hope to aspire to being as good as him.

I believe the last part with the rope is a different method.
I don`t think you can do what i did with that method....but i am not familiar with that method so it is based on what i can see in the video and how he handled that part.

My method is designed by me.....but has similarities to stuff out there...
my method can do all the things they can do....but also does what the overs can`t.
Which is in the hand..... signed card to anywhere in the deck( unboxed) and a clean turn of the hand to show it jumps to the top.

Maybe daryls method allows this (maybe someone could confirm..)....

I`m not wanting to discuss the workings of his trick on here..

My method could do his rope ending.....with the added bonus of the spectator pushing the card in anywhere.....if his version allows this then i`d say its probaly the same method.

It looks nice, but just how practical is it? Can the spectator shuffle this deck and hand it to you before you push the card in. What's the build up to this point of putting the card into the un-boxed deck?

Looks a little too awkward to be practical

Just my thoughts

Foz, can we see your full routine? rather than just the ending.

To me it looks like Daryl's Ultimate Ambitious.
There are some small 'tells' I noticed, from your second performance, in the youtube video.

Daryl's effect is taught on his ACR DVD - if you want to research it - it's a good dvd by the way.

If it's the same, don't be upset, well done for coming up with an idea, even if someone came up with it too, you're still thinking, which is a great thing in magic.

Can anyone confirm if the daryl deck when roped up allows the card to be placed in any part of the deck...

I think it is only possible the place it in a certain place.

I don't see why it matters. The effect is identical regardless.

I think it matters. Foz may have devised an improvement on Daryl's "Ultimate Ambition". It certainly matters to him.
From memory Daryl's system doesn't allow the card to be placed into the deck randomly; unfortunately I only own this on VHS and my VCR is busted, I can't check.

If i was to have wrapped rope around it then it would be identical....
Does the Daryl effect work in the hand or box like mine...??

Just want to establish if my design is different.....

Which Im certain that it is different in design.

In magic there are many tricks that use different designs/methods to get to the same outcome.

I was un aware of daryls version...until a day ago.

But fully aware of the extractor when designing it and in affect was adding a different approach to the extractor....

I`ve never seen an exractor so am not fully aware of its construction either.

But am certain i have upgraded its design to make it possible to be a deck....not copied it...as i am certain the extractor would need a new design to be a deck.
