Very nice, but it would have been good to see it with patter rather than a dealer dem type thing. Great effect though :) .

One other thing, totally unrelated, the sound was really quite and I had to turn my speakers right up to hear you.

All the best,

Nice effect. I've been doing a similar effect, but my method may differ from yours. (ie - mine is a "lazy" method)

I second the comment on the volume.

That was not bad, I noticed a few things which I won't say here but if you want I’ll Pm you them, other than that it was very well performed, great and keep it up.

:shock: That erie silence when watching the clip is annoying. Maybe some background music would be nice. No offense. Good trick anyway. Although with one of your moves I figured out the trick. But I seriously dought a layman could see it. :wink:

I liked the effect..

but :)..knew that was coming didn't ya :)

Vid angle..the top down gives slight advantage to the vid watcher..how does it do from a spec pov, and/or up-close..

Title of the vid says no palming..a certain series of moves make it looks like you are. Its probably your hands natural state after teaching muscle memory into them.unlearn the muscle memory when not being used..if that makes sense?>

After the "invisible" card is placed in the wallet, you return to the deck..You take the card off the top of the deck and place it on the bottom, as if you are using it to "scoop" up the rest of the deck..I'm not entirely sure how the effect is done throughout (since your not palming), but it would seem that "scoop" is extraneous, (since there are a number of other methods to deal with top cards prior to removing the invisble card )I'd drop it to keep it clean..

Well, I don't think this is good advice. Why? Because a spectator is not supposed to know whether you are palming a card or not. If you only hold your hand in a palming position when you are actually palming, it screams that something is odd. In the same way, you should always turn over doubles in the same way whether they are singles or doubles.

Yeah, rereading it , I think I worded that wrong.

I agree what you say...

Its more a critique of my own palming skills, I'm still searching for the elusive "palm" but not looking like your are palming..
Only two ways around it until I find it...Grow hands the size of Andre the Giant, or as you say, always hold your hand in the palming position to establish it as the norm

Yeah there is no palming at all in this video :).

The scooping is just scooping the cards off the table and has no part in the trick, i have no nails and find it hard to pick all the cards up off the this particular table, they seem to attach to it.

However as others said the spectator will not know that i am using a palm or non palm version of the effect.
