Double Down by Bryn Reynolds

Postby FTHO » Feb 28th, '12, 23:34



Hello,

I'm looking for a little advice with this effect by Bryn Reynolds. Does anyone know it?
I've had it for a while, but only started trying it out recently, i've been finding that people are immediately jumping on an incorrect method, and telling me that its obvious how i did it...
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post incorrect methods or not, but the audience have been telling me that its obvious, that since there are so few cards i've just memorised whats on the back of each card (which i have not) and even if i had it wouldn't help me achieve the effect.
So I've obviously come to the conclusion that I'm presenting it badly.
does anyone have any advice for me as to how i could go about counteracting this assumption?
I'm of the opinion that if i have to explain why i couldn't have done the trick in a particular way in order for it to be appreciated then I'm not doing a very good job.

any advice would be welcome,


thanks,

Sam

Ok,

i think i need to rephrase the question.

does anyone have any advice on how i could present any effect with just 10 cards, in such a way that i can avoid audience members presuming i've memorised them.
other than just telling the audience that memorising the cards couldn't possibly help me (which i think is a bad idea) - how can i get that across non verbally or at least subtly?

thanks,

Sam
