comments, abuse etc welcome

Ambitious

That was a nice routine mog, well put together.

I'm guess that isn't an impromtu version that can be done with a borrowed deck?

All seemed pretty seemless, without giving to much away the transfe of the card from the deck to the "box" looked a little suspect, just didnt look to natural ... but I'm sure a spec wouldnt have spotted it.

Thanks.

Lovely, nice routine. The get ready for the "wipe over change" was a little obvious but fair enough because it was all done in a confined space. Personally I always wrist kill on an off beat for that type of get ready.

I loved the use of the Tilt at the begining; very deceptive. Is that your idea?

I aggree that the card from box looked a little bit suspect, maybe just because you pulled the card out quite quickly and it looked a little bit rushed.

If I've got the workings of the routine right, that is a regular deck, no gaffs. Also, knowing Mog's previous work, I'd doubt he'd use a gaffed deck for this routine.

No thats fair enough, i didnt suspect a gaff deck too much, there are a few productions that i couldnt figure out, might have just been a clever pass or somthing.

Indeed (and a very smooth one at that).

Wow that was unbelievable! I think I've worked it out now but the fluidity you do it with is amazing.

this was done totally impromptu, no gaffs or anything like that cos i dont like them! almost everything i do can be done with a bowrrowed deck.. the tilt idea was one of Daryls i found in an old edition of the heirophant magazine (if i remember correctly)


Ty for the coments though

That's a nice little AC routine there Mog.

I particularly liked the wipe over change too and the whole routine flowed smoothly from my viewpoint.

Rather well done. Saw the tinest flash on the transfer to box, but laymen wouldn't see that...

Wasn't too fond of the wipe over thing. Seems to be too simple to figure out. I think it would be better doing an Erdnase Change or single card pass.

StEvEbO!

I saw a flash on the wipe over change, and I agree with Stevebo, its simple to work out

be careful with the tilt, you had the back end of it sticking past the thumb flashing a big gap

Your handling is great. Your pass is great.

I only have ONE comment - WHY and WHAT is the logic behind the deck ending up in the card case? I mean, it's all about a card always going to the top of the deck. Top, top, top all the time. Now, what's the patter and reason for it to end up in the case?

Great AC routine Mog,

I'm working on my own AC routine and I only hope it will flow as smoothly and impressively as that one. Being a severe amateur here, I have no criticisms to make, to me it was perfect. Although the first time I watched it I thought I saw the camera jump as if you'd stopped it put the card in the case then started again, but after a second viewing I realised I was either seeing things or my media player just jumped. I found it quite amusing.

Ed Marlo would be so proud.

Rune, if i had included the patter line that i use when i do this it would be along the lines of ...

"wow its odd that you chose the (whatever card is chosen) for its whats known as an "ambitious card".. you know why?.. because it always likes to be on top...[appears on top]... no matter what i do it always gets back to the top [appears on top again].... blah blah... BUT sometimes it goes beyond being simply ambitious.. it gets so full of its own importance it thinks its better than all the other cards and thinks it would do better on its own, thats why its not even in the deck anymore... its over here[ produce from case]"

or something along those lines anyways

Mog, you may have answered this elsewhere at some point, but I'm just curious about what resources you used to learn your pass.

I really liked the routine. The finale was a nice change from typical ACR moves. Great work.
