I've seen this video a long time ago and I must say bravo to him. Very creative of him and very good jumbo card manipulation.

Not quite Cardini though. I still prefer Cardini's manipulation because he had THE style. Everything was confusing for him as well as the audience and that's what made him special.

As for card productions, anyone know which McBride DVDs are the best for card productions?

See this is a real magician! Interesting how the speed has changed over the years. Jeff McBride does not discuss production of jumbocards. He discuss the change on vol 1, that this magician did with jumbo cards. On the video (with the limited quality) it looked like he was flasing, but recall that he is not supposed to hold just one card , but rather a stack of cards where the top card then change. Thus there was no flash as one mistakenly might think.

I think - but I do not remember from the top of my head - that Jeff McBride
mainly deal with single card productions on VOL 2.

What a good point and funny point! It made me laugh out loud. The cards he produce are just so big. Magicians who think their hands are too small should watch that clip!!

Very skillful man. Theres something about jumbo cards that is just so entertaining, especially when hes making them appear seemlessly out of thin air :shock:
