Jumping Gemini

Postby {EOP}*SL*MAGNITUDE » Nov 29th, '06, 22:58



Okay, after watching the video, i think i figured it out, but i the last part, when revealing the first King, i just cant seem to get down. Can someone PM me so we can discuss this? Or an AIM adress would be better. I also would like to discuss my method with that person, to see what they think, and if i interpreted it correctly.
I realized buying the effect would be much better on my part, but im trying to see if i have the 'eye' for magic if you know what i mean. To see what i can gather just from a visual. I think this will help me alot in my next tricks to come.

Yes, the final sequence can be a bit of a nightmare.

Fortunately, there is a method that I have come across that works beautifully for me. I'm pretty sure most of the members here know the method of which I'm about to speak.

It's killer.....

Ready for it???

Buy a book or DVD.

This isn't an exposure forum, sir. If you're truly interested in this or any other card effect - do the magic community at large, and the creator of the effect in specific a favor, and shell out the cash.

Yes, but i KNOW hows its done( i went out and bought a small book with some tricks in it. about 3 hrs after posting the original. I figured, let me get the actual thing, and not look like I'm asking for how its done. I was kinda right on the method, but not really. ) I just cant seem to get down the final part down. When ever i go to reveal the Kings, it becomes disastrous. I would just like some technical help at best. If i were to ask it here, i would give the trick away. Is there anyone who knows this trick well that can help, that would be appreciated.

Sorry that It looked that away. My apologies. It never(under a conscious decision) happen again.

mate, if you're just starting out get yourself a good book. Learn the basics and get a good grounding first. Then buy the effect, there's a huge difference to knowing how it's done and performing it well.

I know card magic, its just some of the things described in the book, well, they're odd for me. I would like some help with the first King reveal. The pictures don't really help. After(without giving it away), the reveal of the final(i use a 10 of spades) spades, its awkward in how the Kings are exposed, for me. Thats what i want the help with. Anyhow, thank you for understanding my first post, which did look like i was asking for the effect.

What booklet did you buy?

I'm very familiar with this effect - it's one of my favorite card tricks. Feel free to pm me and I'll see if I can help out.

Yes it does. I bought it from Border's Books, in the local mall. There was only 2 booklets/sets left, so I asked when he would be getting different stuff. He said he wasn't sure, they ordered it off of QVC a few months prior.

what your saying just doesn't make sense to me.
you say buying the effect would be better, but your checking if you have an eye for it..

this tells us you did not buy the effect
even though you say you bought the trick in a book in which it is explained

and if you have it from a book, and the trick explained in the book is called "Jumping Gemini" than how can you say you want to disscus your way of doing it..

:roll:

Just a thought:
Use jokers instead of kings.

I use jokers instead of kings for the obvious reason. I'm not sure if we're being unreasonable with this chap or not.

My best suggestions are that you video yourself doing it and post it up for us to see or PM someone who obviously know the trick backwards with the quote from the book and your problem with it.

Thanks everyone. I've been talking to someone about this. And yes, I feel I will convert to jokers, but i will occasionally brake out the Kings if I feel confindent enough.
