"Spreadable" Triumph?

[tomfield]

Hi,
also there's my very own version of Moment of Zen by Lee Asher,
a Bloody Triumph, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gxL9BJtq8QY .
That's spreadable...

Like the people above me said, you can't. Moment of Zen is simply a application of the Continental Divide by Lee Asher. You can learn that move in his Pulp Friction book. But i'm sure when you learn the move you can figure out moment of Zen

 

[tomfield]

I believe that's taught in Pulp Friction, by Lee Asher,

Clarifying:

Moment of Zen is NOT and I'll repeat that... NOT taught in Lee Asher's Pulp Friction.

The main move that can be utilised to achieve the effect IS taught in Pulp Friction.

Oh wow... you just reminded me of that one...

It's an awesome triumph routine if it's the one I'm thinking about, the deck is already mixed face-up and face-down and is spread on the table. The magician turns their back and three spectators turn over any card they want - three selections can be face-up or face-down. The magician turns back round and shuffles the deck a little more.

In the end the deck is spread to reveal the deck has righted itself and the three selections are the only ones facing the opposite way. Totally impromptu if I remember rightly... need to learn that one again.

A great DVD is "Joshua Jay: Methods in Magic"

he teaches a trick called "Back in Time" (based on jay sankey's trick)

but it uses the Jenning/ Goodwin display (which is wonderful)

great trick, great dvd

I believe the 'Moment of Zen' was created by Tony Chang? Who is Liquidsn on youtube.

Continental Divide is a trick by Lee Asher that separates reds from blacks and the selected card being out of place. I think people has adapted this into triumph and created 'the moment of zen'.

Moment of Zen is a great trick, however I do get stronger reactions with Culligula (Roadrunner Cull triumph by Kostya Kimlat). Moment of zen is more of a magician fooler.

yea it is. the cards are spread while your shuffling them.

 

[MagicShadow9]

yea it is. the cards are spread while your shuffling them.

but it cant be spread AFTER you shuffle them. Like they can spread it and see that the face ups are mixed with face downs and not just one half face up and one half face down.

Just use a stripper deck...

I was going to say that too. That's the only triumph effect I use.

do you know what its called? I would love to know where i can learn it.

 

[Sean_Raf]

Sure, it's called A Grand Triumph by Camilo Vazquez. You can find it in Mnemonica - Juan Tamariz, pgg 139-140.

A lot of golden material in that book, please don't mistreat it.

jay sankeys stripper deck triumph

Just use a stripper deck...

That wouldn't work if the spectator purposely or unknowingly rotates cards whilst shuffling.

Does the spectator have to shuffle the cards? Sure it's awesome if they do, but if the end result of being able to spread the cards is the same then I don't think it really matters who shuffles the cards.
