WOW Freebie idea

Postby Chris » Jul 20th, '10, 09:53



Heres a little idea for me...

How about using three wow gimmics (with matching cards for 3 card monte) think of the possibilities : )

I can think of cheaper ways.

I came in here expecting a Frisbee effect, you have let me down Chris!

its a brilliant idea but as mentioned, rather expensive!

How about a trick using two or three where the wow is placed on different sides of a room and you show that the cards are exploiting a hole in the fabric of space!? The card can keep jumping from one wow to the other. The gimmick could be explained away as a teleportal such as in the film 'the fly'

You don't really want anything that says these cards are not above board when you throw the 3 card monte. I like the idea in theory but the actual monte its self needs to be kept rather simple. No gimmicks otherwise people will get annoyed about this. And also it will cost £90 to do it this way.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

I can monte...it was just an idea...for a really nice visual monte...in that the cards are safely put in between sheets of number
plastic as markers...only the plastic is the WOW gimmic...it was just a fun idea really but not to worry.
