Zig Zag Card

Postby Rdw1971 » Jun 6th, '05, 15:18



Hellooooooooooo,

I've just received the Zig Zag Card trick from alakazam. Very impressed first impressions.

But ..... I find the cards a bit awkward to hold (not to show stuff), anyone got any suggestions? (PM me prob safer)

Cheers
Rob

Also, just remembered,

I've seen the Zig Zag can advertised on the web, can you use any can for this, and is there any preperation (excuse my ignorance)?

This looks really good, but at 100+ notes i need to think about it (and how to sneak past the good lady wife)

Thanks Again
Rob

Ankle biters at the moment, but then working up to big people.

Also, got a bit addicted to collecting tricks as well (suppose its healthier than being addicted to cigs)

The zig zag can's a nice collection item. If you go for a well made wooden model, it should hold it's value well.
Its no great fooler though. It might work for kids, but it is hard to think of a way of routining it with other effects.

Thanks for advice.

As a side note, anyone know a routine to make the wife disappear?

Only joking, honest.......

Just out of curiosity is NE meant to be EN or is it some new code I don't know about?

i can make your wife disapear but that costs extra, thats what i usualy say to that old chestnut. :D

disected coke can wont fool many if todays generation of kids I'm afraid some of the classics like the change bag still fool them and die boxes which also make great colectors items due to there variantions on the theme, the best one i have found is the disection based on rocky the racoon, your animated buddy, most kids know how he works so cant get the head round stiking a blade through the workings. :?:

Does the RSPCA know that you stick blades thru a racoon? :D

Glad to hear it, but be carefull if you ever decide to use dogs to hunt the racoon, you could be breaking the law

You're OK if you use those nodding dogs off the back shelf of cars - not only are they exempt, they always agree with everything you say.
