Alex Elmsley's 'Dazzle'

Postby cc100 » Nov 19th, '11, 10:05



Hello,

Does anyone know where I can learn this trick? It's brilliant :D

I mean I presume it uses some false displays of some kind, but is the actual trick taught anywhere?

Thanks,

Can be learnt from his book The Collected Works of Alex Elmsley Volume 2. I think a few places sell it as a stand alone effect too.

It's so annoying when books are out of print. I don't think any book is worth hundreds of pounds. I want to read Pure Effect too, but doubt I will for the same reason. Thanks for the advice anyway guys.

You could either order it as a packet trick from Vanishing Inc in America, or it is also found on the first volume of his Lake Tahoe DVD series.

In the Lake Tahoe DVD, does he show you how to perform it or is it just the performance? And is it possible to perform this without a special packet e.g. using just a few normal cards with different backs?

Thanks Lenior.

Absolutely no idea. I just used Google.
