That seriously looks better than most two hand coin stuff. And because specs can't reason that it's in the other hand, it is so much more impossible when a vanish or change takes place. Could you recommend a source for those techniques (particularly the final vanish which completely fooled me :oops: ) please? I would love to learn them.

Thank you so much for your kind words. The vanish is sort of a combination of Ponta the Smith's Vanish (from his Sick DVD), Shoot Ogawa's Slide (from Cultural Exchange) and something else I came up with :) I'm so happy you like it

Your determination is inspiring.

Have you ever seen the no handed False overhand shuffler on Youtube

I posted it on Genii the other day - http://www.geniimagazine.com/forums/ubb ... eu4Zlx8h5w

Hope that link works

Another amazing guy like yourself!

Hi tetomapa,

about a year ago a guy in the Magic Café who is a one handed amputee contacted us.
He dropped me a line because he wanted to use an impression pad - obviously one handed - and he asked whether we can modify the ParaPad in a way that it works for him.

To make it short: We modified one of our pads in a way that he could use it easily and reliably.
Here is what he wrote about the result:
Code: Select all
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=376857&forum=109&start=57


If you think you may find use for an impression pad, send Rainer of ParaLabs (mees@paralabs.org) me (heine@paralabs.org) an email.
We would modify a pad for you with pleasure and send it to you free of charge to test it.

Cheers
Th.

Thank you so much for your generosity and taking the time to inform me in detail about the pad. Yes, I will surely let you know when I need one. Thank you again and best regards.

Thomas just did 'real' magic :) Sometimes, it's hard to believe how some people are so kind!
