brilliant bananafish, that might just be what I'm after.

I thought Moodini was Canadian. It really isn't the same as American. Where's Mark Lewis when you need him? Answers on a postcard, please.

Thought I'd just clear up this language barrier for fun. I believe what the English call jam, we Americans call jelly (but our jelly is more smooth). I also think that what is your version of jam, we call marmalade. And a tart in America is called a danish.

we have marmalade here! which is orange jam!

gaaaah!

lol!

or is it orange jelly with bits in ?

is jelly jello ??

I always thought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich was made with jelly..

I could produce Chris from somewhere!

would you be able to cut the size of a tart out of half of a deck...then use that to fit over it...a little like the handling for the omni deck if you have that?

anyway, yeah, lap half the deck as you switch in the bottom gimmicked version...

way not just be bold though, top palm/classic palm the tart (that'll be a tenner guvnor) and kinda slide it under a card?

you could possibly use a production deck

might need a little adapting from that version but it could work, unless you have a tart that is bigger than a deck of cards

I've been thinking about making some kind of shell to fit over the tart but it might not be usable very easily in the routine I'm planning. The production will come at the end of an ACR type routine.

The method used by Harry Evans is looking the most liely at the moment. I've used that method for producing coins plenty of time but didn't really think it'd work for something bigger. It might though with careful handling, I'll have to have a play around (give me an excuse to buy some yummy Mr Kiplings tarts too).

Almost identical to Lawrence's deck is Tomas Medina's 'Cricket Deck', which lets you produce live crickets (or anything else) from an in-use deck of cards. Find it on Geek Magic.

There's also the sleeved idea... but could be messy.

David Stone has some great productions on his Real Magic series—could work well here. All about distraction.

So... you have to decide—mechanical, practical, or pure sleight.

There's no way I'm sleeving a jam tart!!!!

I'll investigate a production deck, thanks for all the ideas.
