Hey all, I am starting to move away from gimmicked/set-up'd card magic and into impromptu magic-It feels easier to routine if I can pick something up at any time. So how much of Mystique is impromptu? And is there any rehash from his ebooks? Thanks.
Almost every sandwich effect requires a setup. You could use like the 2 of hearts and the 7 of spades but it does not look anywhere near as impressive or nice in general. Taking out a pair of mates is completely natural as it is within context.
Ace's is a great lead in to so many great tricks.
And 10 to 15 second set up. For a reputation making effect. That is simply a no brainier. Or so I thought.
