I was just curious to how others come up with new routines. The way i do it is when im practising a sleight, for instance today i was practising all the different counts i know and i was practising one count { I cant remember what it's called but i know it's similar to the hammann count} and i just started to think of a routine around that and in the end i came up with 3 new routines 2 using the count i said and the other did start using the count but i changed it to a different sleight.So what i do is build a routine around the particular sleight im practising .I was just interested if anyone else does it this way or do you do it another way.

well i created a whole new effect today. It wasnt by me practcing though...I saw the effect "unshuffled", asked me if there was a way I could do it (non stripper deck) from a deck of cards, shuffled by spec, in as many shuffles/cuts as they wanted, and end up in perfect deck order.

pondered on it, and it came to me in a couple of mins! bog easy as well!

other effects I have created was based around a similar thing - see an effect, try to create summit that is better, e.g. an impromptu version, or an ungimmicked version, or a different one
