An excellent watch

Postby ultimatecreate » Jun 1st, '07, 00:03



Card to floor is an excellent idea when the spec puts a foot over it when a table is not around.

Im really interested in finding out about folding the card at the end for the card to specs shoe approach. Any help lemme know.

Are you asking how he does the card to specs shoe? Because if you are I doubt anyone will tell you, it being against the rules here.

I highly doubt he is, he's been here long enough to realize thats not going to happen. I think he wants to know where he can learn the required sleights to perform this i.e. books/dvd's !!!!

That’s right Citrus, thanks for clarifying buddy. I am indeed after the name of the folding method or a DVD/book that teaches it.

Does Oz do a similar version? Ashamed to admit it but I'm a big fan of ol' Penguin and Mr Pearlman.

*Sobs* For shame! *Sobs*

I believe it is called The Kicker and is sold at Penguin as an instant download :)

The move is called the mercury card fold and I would say your best source of it would be Paperclipped DVD by Sankey. He teaches it really well.

I don't know why but I found that *Sobs* For shame! *Sobs* hilarious, I look like I'm constipated in work here for trying not to burst out laughing.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

Cool, I didn't mean to imply anything FWIW, just asking.

As for the card fold, it's taught on Still Fancy a Pot of Jam by James Brown which, if you don't have yet, you should get anyway cause it's so fantabulous.

:? Really? Hmmm.

I want to know why at the end he says "this shoe that you've been wearing all night" when it is clearly daytime.

That is so true, that spec looks like if he was related to Oz, I can't imagine Oz drunk :lol:

There's a half decent card to shoe on E's Ambitxious Card DVD if you're still looking?
