All of a sudden I don't know why my marlo tilt has just became well... sloppy. I have dont this sleight for a long time with it looking believable but all of a sudden it doesn't look like I insert it into the middle anymore I was caught by somebody doing an ACR which i don't think has happened to me for the longest time i can remember. If you can PM me any tips on adjusting it or what not I would be most thankful.

I've been interested in learing this sleight, could you tell me if there is a book that teaches it?

Harry Lorayne Close up card Magic the book is £20 not alot for such a brilliant book, but he teaches many different card tricks in there which are brilliant, and he has his ambiouse card routine, which he uses the marlo tilt, and it teaches it there.

Loraynes CUCM does not teach 'TILT' anywhere??? (note it's TILT not Marlo's TILT)

The cited ambitious card routine, uses the 'bluff pass' which is the only move I can think of that might cause the confusion?

Hope this helps,
John

Brad Christian teaches it in the Crash Course 2 DVD

Whats the move in CUCM in his ambious, he uses a move that he says he doesnt know what its called, i thourght that was the TILT basically a card looks like it goes into the middle of the deck but doesnt.

Marlos TILT is on Jay Sankeys 'very best of' dvds also

Unless I have confused myself, the marlo tilt will look to the audience that you slide the card from the back of the deck into the center. I have not seen CUCM, but I have seen this move repeatadly used in ACR, to make the audience think you are putting the card into the middle, but leaving you set up to reveal it with another DL.

Hope that gave you a hint twords what the tilt is.

isnt the Tilt also known as "Vernons depth illusion"?

Yup it gave me the hint, and i am now 100% sure he teaches it to you in close up card magic.

lets get one thing straight CUCM was published two years before TILT was even written up, although it was in use by cardmen at this time.

The move you guys are refering to is the bluff pass.

The move that I am talking about is the one preformed at about the two minute mark of the following clip.

This is definatly refered to as the marlo tilt in Crash Course 2

I have never heard it called TILT. Only Marlos Tilt. I learnt it from Crash Course 2. Would i right in saying that RRTCM teaches it also? I may be getting books mixed up.

Just look over the index, as I thought there is no refrence to marlo's tilt in either the royal road or the card college series.

oeb, yes that is TILT, well the Daryl Martinez, refinement of it,

It was not 'named' or published until 1962, CUCM was published earlier, 1960 I think, despite Tannens copyright date of 1962, Harry Lorayne published the book earlier than this.

RRTCM was published even earlier so does not contain TILT.

I haven't got my Card Collage to hand at the moment, suprised if TILT is not somwhere in there, could be called 'Vernons depth illusion' though.

Just for completeness the Martinez refinement was first published in 'The Last Hierophant' by Jon Racherbaumer.

All the best,
John
