New effect

Postby PyroSmurf » May 20th, '06, 23:30



Well actually I don’t know if it counts as a new effect or not but it’s defiantly not a new trick. It’s rather a combination of a few things i've learnt or figured out my self. And as soon as I can get my head around how I going to get it on tape, if that’s possible here ill put it up.

Anyway.

The spectator is asked to participate in an experiment of mind and body 'this is afther ive slowly manipulated the conversation into incredible feats of the mind and body. example things from ginnes book of record or just stupid stuff Blane do =). First he takes a deck of cards 'can be his own' and shuffles the deck. Then he is instructed to pick a card out of the deck by random, Remember it and show it for the audience. Then he is told to put the card back in to the deck and give it a shuffle. I take the deck, recap what just happened. Puts the deck down on the table in front of me. I roll up the sleeves of my arm and ask him to grab hold of my wrist tightly. I ask him to think hard on the card he chose and see him self drawing his card in his mind, first the number then the suit 'While this is done i study is face for a few sec and then close my eyes and consentrate hard'. After a few seconds I ask him if he’s done. When he replies that he is done I ask him to remove his hand from my wrist and slowly on it his card name appears.

Okay, the last part is my solution of stigmata. I’ve never seen the trick being done so this is my own way of doing the effect and its probably not any ware near as good as the stigmata effect. But I am going to buy stigmata as soon as my wallet allows me to se how it’s done there.

My dyslexia made me use word for this, so it might fu*k up the gramma a bit.

Hmm yeah sounds pretty much exactly like a stigmata routine to me. Cool.

Well I got the idee from the threds about stigmata. But that just gave me the ending. I still had to make up a way of getting the card to my arm without beeing shown or told what it was. I have three ways to do it now. But only one where i never tuch the deck.

Dont know how stigmata is done but i do it whit no gimmiks.

But as said before im going to buy stigmata becose im quite sure that the effect proberbly is easier then mine.
