I'd like to share this gimmickless version of the Rising Card effect I came up to.

But before I do so, can anybody tell me:
A. Does a similar trick already exist?
B. Is this the right section to post it?

As soon as I get an answer I'll post it.

Thanks!

Why didn't you post it 1st?

Well, if it is a file, and you fell like sgaring it, then yes this is the right place!

As you haven't shared a file yet, then this isn't the right place to post a question

Well I guess I'll post it.

The video is not perfect, I just want to show the general effect.

Check out for the misdirection in the garden.

Look for my next post for the expanation.

Hi -

I can't see the video - I get a codec error. However, just a comment, if you use[ url=www.putfile.com]http://www.putfile.com[/url] you get 25MB and you don't have to wait 45 seconds to download the file...

And now for the explanation.

Again, the videos are not perfect, but I just want to show the principle behind the trick.

About the handling, I developed it after a few versions wich included Glides, advanced techniques on the Hindu Shuffle, etc. This is the simplest I could come up to, and nobody ever noticed. I guess that time could bring better handlings, but this is an effective one.

The main problem of the trick is that its reeeealy short, and I feel I can get a better reaction if I could extend the presentation. Any suggestions on a script?
It IS possible to Hindu Shuffle AFTER you trapped the selection between the 2 cards, but it's a little risky and I like to highlight the fact that I didn't do anything strange to the deck.
Another problem is that your hands are all over the deck, and that makes it suspicious. You could easily release the left hand, but you must cover the right hands actions. Sometimes I relase the left hand and I do some funny "magical" move with it, but it still must be near the deck.
Pushing the cards with the LEFT hand is difficult and makes the rising look ugly, so I gave up on it.
You can try to injog the two cards by doing an Overhand Shuffle. I don't like that shuffle, so I didn't really try it more than a few times, but I guess it can work... maybe...
Well, those are my general thoughts on the trick.

Post here any comments, ideas and suggestions about the trick.

Inspiration came from Paul Harrises "Sensuous Shuffle" (from his book: Close Up Seduction), thank you Paul!

I agree with Kati, i've still got codec problems when i try to load it.

However, I use a much more simplified, gimmicked, but examinable version of this. However, it's not the rising card it's the falling card, and it uses a stripper deck. If they're relatively new then you can just give the cards a shake and the selected card slowly falls out into the cupped hands of you're bewildered spectators after both of you have shuffled fairly.

On first impressions this just looks like a variation on the plunger effect.

Plunger Effect? Never heard of it. What is it?

Emm..... Isn't this exposure?

Not if it's an original effect. If anyone knows that it already exists then it will be classed as exposure and we'll need to edit things a little. Please let us know.
