Does anyone know what book The Cannibal Kings trick is in?

by **pdjamez** » Jul 25th, '06, 13:29

Kev, not sure if you are referring to a specific handling as the Cannibals plot has been covered a number of times. IMHO Roy Waltons handling is probably one of the best, see the Complete Walton Volume 1. I'll do a quick search in the library tonight, as I'm not sure who originated the plot, I'm pretty sure it wasn't Roy, but I'll check.

EDIT: after a quick phone call, I've been advised it was originally a Lin Searles effect.

I think there are a few different version of it now, but I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that this effect, named as the Cannibal Cards, was originally created by Roy Walton and it is volume I of The Complete Walton (or originally in the Devil's Playthings).

Thanks guys

I was messing around there just now and came up with a method, not sure if its original though :lol:

. I might film it later, but I have some money to spend so I think I'll get that book also.

Are there any other good effects in that book?

Cheers

Don't forget to get him to sign the books.
He's too modest to volunteer.

I saw someone perform it on Sunday night, so when I got back home I searched it in MVD and it found 2 of your own videos Mog :lol:

So my handling is just a variation on that, using an ascanio spread instead of all the 'faffing' when the Kings eat 2 cards, and the Biddle move at the beginning.

@Saxmad: Had already thought of that
