Penguin Magics NFW

Hi I just got this today. First impression its quality cards and you get a nice wallet for them to. Now i've came across a problem. Maybe this is my fault. On one of the cards, as some of you know is a certain thing in the middle. Well I've been practicing this trick and the thing is ripping and not doing what it should do properly. I think its when I'm doing the elsmley its getting ripped. Anyone else had this problem and should I not be letting it come into contact with the cards when Im doing the elmsley?

When NFW! is new, that certain thing will be far too strong and the usual suggestion is to keep patting it with your finger tips to add a bit of the natural grease etc which will make the certain thing a little less strong than it is. If all else fails, that certain thing can be replaced with a little more certain thing of one or two types. When doing the EC, the certain thing ought to be doing the job it's intended to do so shouldn't be exposed or visible and certainly not ripping anything.

(I know, clear as mud and twice as useless! :roll: )

Well its not ripping anything but it has ripped unfortunatly and its becoming visible because of that. I don't suppose you could pm me the certain type I can use because this one is getting worse and worse now.

I've got it on order, and waiting patiently. Cant wait to find out what the 'certain thing' is. Im definatley intrigued now :D

Maybe we need a magician only enigma type machine, just in case someone mentions the 'certain thing' instead of using 'certain thing' to hide what the 'certain thing' actually is (Now Im confused....)

NFW is my favourite trick at the moment.. I love it.. and so do the people I show.

As has already been said.. just use your fingers to remove some of the "Gack" before you try it and yes it is easy to replace with any other "stuff"(any type will do !).. again just use your finger until it's right.

Yes.. at first it's a little difficult to do the EC with the stuff.. but you'll get there.

Slippery.

Hi,

Dont think you should post an 'How To' guide. But if people want to learn, maybe they could PM you.

Remember, do not give the magic away on the forums.

Cheers
Rob

That's not what I said, or ment.
I will post a video, of a version (show - version) that shows that this effect is possible to do, without all those gimmicks people tend do buy.

My english may not be the best, but sorry, I read it as I said earlier. If you was going to post an example, maybe using the word 'example' would be an idea.
