I prefer doing magic without gimmicks, becuase you usually have to carry them around. But that doesn't stop me buying them.

Most times gimmicks would get a better reaction, because the reason they are gimmicked is becuase it is impossible to do with a normal deck. The things we do are 'impossible' anyway, but the things gimmicked decks let us do are truely impossible.

I'm not saying all of gimmicked tricks are like this, just most of them.

The verson of OOTW I use is pretty much the version Andrew Murray teaches on his "Thirteen" DVD. I found it to be a really good DVD when I was starting as a beginner. It's completely impromptu and the spectator will end up thinking they've separated ALL of the cards themselves into red and black.

i have never seen the carb back colour change done so good, good work. but it does have to be said that the spoon bending did not live up to the card tricks standard. if you look closely you can see a sparkle of metal which isnt sposed to be there. so you kinda gave the secret of that away to me :( same with the fork on finger realy, you can see your head moving unnessecarily and it just dosnt look good.

thanks,

bye
