Now, THAT, if you don't mind me saying so, is interesting. I think it's what a lot of people expect when they buy other CTW effects.

why thankyou.

there are obviously some limitations and card handling/skill involved however - it isn't *real* magic.

and the angles aren't that bad either - can't be done surrounded, but you have a good 150 degrees to play with depending on what kind of clothes you are wearing, your card handling skill, lighting e.t.c

I feel you're probably being far too modest here Chris; it's actually way past-time that you admit your real surname to the rest of the membership here....

Ladies and gents...(drum roll)...

Allow me to introduce Chris..............Crowley

Wha...? Where did that goat come from?...Nooo - ger'off Chris, I was only joking....SERIOUSLY - PUT THAT CEREMONIAL ATHEME DOWN..... (thud!)

We interrupt this drunken posting to play you all some seriously spooky Gregorian Chanting, accompanied by a nasty off-camera tearing/sucking noise.

Normal programming will be resumed following the completion of tonights sacrifice.

well guys, i got the materials needed for the gimmick again today. just need to customise it to my body now. hopefully will get a vid up by the end of the week - though no promises as i have my a levels as well to think about!

and i also have a name for the effect now as well!

You are a master of suspense sir.

I dont understand.. signing the card, putting it against the window and pulling it out the other side surely sounds like Kaos? Unless you can just put one card against the window and pull it out instead of the whole deck.. but then again thats impossible. Unless thats what you are talking about. But it cant be because that really is impossible..

one card...one window...one method...one great reaction...

yes my friend. no surgical nonsense...this is one signed card placed against the window, and taken from the other side. it can even be taken from the other side by the spectator.

you have 150 degree angle...give or take depending on your skill with cards and experience at public performances, and crowd control.

card signed...left clean...e.t.c

but as i said before...it isnt "real" magic...it obviously doesnt actually go "through" the window - there is a method...it isn't self working, but it isnt amazingly hard.

Wow sounds like you've got a great idea there. Id definately be interested if it went up for sale...hint hint... or I could have it for free and field test it for you

haha. i dont think ill be selling this one...i dont want it to turn into a "sinful" or "stigmata" (as in...everyone knows it) escapade...

i think i would only let the secret out to a select few really...those who i know would use it and not "youtube" it

Pick me! Pick me! I'll be good, I swear! *shoots hand so fast into the air, monker59's shoulder pops out*. No, but seriously, I would love to try it out.

Thats what I like to see! Well good on you for keeping it underground but seriously I would love to see a video of it, especially infront of an audience!

haha - thankyou.

just thought i would let you guys know the name of it now as well.

I call it "Evacuation" - kinda fitting i thought - imagine a fire and you jumping through a window

.....

well...i thought it was funny...

...Although, coming from a medical background, 'Evacuation' has a slightly dodgy overtone

Mind you, you could certainly double entendre it:

"EVACUATION...the only effect you'll ever need, to make your audience s**t themselves"
