Wow, this is a very friendly forum, thanks for all the welcome guys.
I used to do the online forum thing with my last hobby which was radio control airplanes and helicopters. A lot of good discussion but mostly just people saying "cool" or "that looks ugly"
Here there are a lot of really good reviews that will hopefully stop me from wasting my money when I get a case of CUPS.
I laughed when I read your post tricky, I totally want to show everyone the few tricks that I *can* do... patience is key...
what do you guys think of this trick I want to do: first start off with some XCM and some card-throwing stunts. then at a respectable distance I set up a small hoop or basket or something along those lines (pity that top hats arent' in style) and I offer to make someone a bet that I can land the card in/thru the target. (it will look very impossible LOL)
I was thinking for the "bet" that my assistant (girlfriend or "magic widow") could pour out a shot of some rather stiff beverage. Tanqueray maybe. Whomever loses the bet takes the shot...
anyways so if I can get someone to bet me , then I start folding the card into the shape of a paper airplane. this should get some laughs and I ask , "nervous yet?" if no, then , "double or nothing???"
then I use either some elastic or invisible TR (attached while folding the card up) and it flies directly to/through it.
What do you guys think?
it should surprise the heck out of them!
