Derren Brown's Figaro Transfer

Postby majortom » Jun 22nd, '06, 14:43



Wow what an amazing move. Fantastic.

Anyone else been learning this?

I read about it in pure effect, but upon recieving the Devil's picturebook, i can see how it's supposed to look. and it's so fluid. Iwould love to perform Zamiel's Rose, as i think the petals at the end are really beautiful, and unexpected.

I can do the transfer pretty well but i have trouble with snapping the card in and out of the T***** P****.

Any thoughts?

1) practise
2) practise
3) when you think you can do it perfectly, practise some more!

unfortunatly for something like the figaro you just gotta do it

The magician makes cards appear at the fingertips, openly takes it with the other hand and places it in the pocket while another card appears at the fingertips. Using this method you can have an endless stream of cards appear without holding a multiple amount in your hand! He mentions the use for it in a Torn and Restored Card in DPB I believe, and it is extremely effective and beautiful. But his recommended routine in Pure Effect is excellent enough!

If you are getting it from a book you might find that the description on the Devil's Picture Book video is better and gives a few more tips.
