Hi guys,
I've been working on a handful of effects since February 25, and I know its not all original, but I incorporated my handlings into these routines.I can't make a video about these effects yet, cause I want them to be tiptop shape when it appears on screen.I, however,can give description about them.Tell me what you guys think about them, or rather tell me if a similar effect had already been made. And here they are:
1.)JCKAA
A color change routine from an insignificant card to a spectators selected card.A spectator picks a card,loses it in the deck.The performer turns over the top card, and with no palming,no doublelifts, and with a wave of the hand, the card changes to the spectator's selected card.
This makes use of the JCKAA Change,my creation, a color change with no palming and no doublelifts.This is my color change creation after my failed attempt on the Mirror Change buried in the forums.
2.)Stranded
A cross between Jacob's Ladder, Stairway and Dan Harlan's Traveling cash. My routine makes use of one rubberband and one bill.All I did here is combine the plots to form something different.
There are two phases: Phase 1, the performer drapes a bill over the top most strand of a stretched rubberband hooked between the left index and thumb.And he visually pulls the bill down to penetrate to the lower strand. Phase 2: The bill is given to the spectator to drape it on the top strand of the rubberband hooked between the performer's two index fingers.And again, visually, the spectator drags the bill down to the second strand.
3.)Void Grip
This was inspired by Chris Korn, I watched him perform a trick in Mondo Magic.I dont' know the name of the trick and I don't know how its done.But the plot stuck in my head.Here's my attempt on the nameless trick.
The spectator is given a 5-peso coin to examine.The performer makes a fist and the spectator is asked to insert the coin on top of the fist while placing her other hand below to catch the coin. After the insertion, the performer squeezes his fist and at the bottom, a 1-peso coin pops out.The hands are shown empty.The effect is repeated twice from 1-peso coin to a 5-peso coin.
4.)Frontier
This was inspired by Daniel Garcia's Nacho Momma's Triumph.But my routine has nothing to do with Nacho's Momma nor a triumph routine.This is a surprise trick with a similar plot with a different approach. Instead of a triumph routine as what Danny used as an attack, I make use of the one card turnover Routine and combined it with the fooling element of Danny's routine.
5.)Soft Curve
I created this effect prior to watching BentTouchSlink.The method I watched was completely different from my handling.Thankfully.This is my handling and my take on the Bent Coin Routine.As I was performing this routineat a party,I "winged it" and created a second version as well, wherein as opposed to me bending the coin, the spectator bends the coin.
Version 1:A coin is handed to the performer and with a shake, and with a blow, the coin bends.This has been done before.I've seen Jay Sankey, Paul Harris and Daniel Garcia come-up with cool handlings for this.Mine, makes use of great subtleties and exploits my large hands.I reckon smaller hands can do just fine for this.Version 2:is quite similar, except,the coin is placed in the spectator's closed fist and after a squeeze, the coin bends or warps.\
That's a wrap guys. Those are my creations and my handling on some effects.Please tell me what you guys think about them.And when I get enough feedback, I might start working on a performance video for you guys to enjoy.I like sharing my creativity, and the things that I'm working on.And I hope and pray that you guys will enjoy reading them as well...
Here's the link guys.I finally got a video.But I should say that its quite raw, cause as mentioned above I need your feedback prior to making a video.But nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy my work and do tell me what you think about them...
