Sam Websters Nemesis

Postby ajc3388 » Nov 10th, '05, 05:36



So i know how this trick is performed. and i have a question, hopefully it doesnt give too much away. I learned it separate from how Oz teaches it on penguinmagic.com which i just saw yesterday. (the preview)

but when i do it... its hard for me to convince the rest of the audience that i am starting out all red cards (which, in effect, 'change' into the blue ones). However, Oz shuffles in a way that its really convincing. And I'm confused as to how hes doing it. it seems like hes actually losing all the red cards and showing them everywhere. how do i get this effect?

buy it like everyone else

I completely agree, it is unethical, immoral, unaccceptable and just plain bloody wrong.

I agree with the mog - buy it like everyone else. You'd be surprised how good you'll feel about youself at night when you go to bed.

I agree too. I bought it, why should you get it for free?

Anyway, the shuffle is the Hindu shuffle and this is an easy one to learn. It's the practice that makes it convincing.

I bought it too, 'causeI was sure that he used a lawnmower, a crossbow and a Shakespearean theatre group as misdirectional tools to swap the cards over. I was gobsmacked when I found out you didn't need any of these things.
