Card flourish

Postby jack7ton » Apr 7th, '12, 21:43



Hi,I'm trying to find a reference to the old gag where a card pops out of a fan during a selection. Can I get some help on this? I have a fairly substantial library which might help but no idea about the location of this flourish.

The only version I've ever come across is in Jean Hugard's 'Card Manipulations' No. 5. It is listed asThe Danish Force and can be found on page 159 of 'Card Manipulations: Series 1 - 5'. It uses a thread gimmick to achieve the effect, which works very well and looks great, but I'm not sure if there is a more modern version anywhere that is cleaner. Anyway, it has a lot of potential and could work really well.
