Two Queens, and effect I just came up

MadNuke · May 22, 2008

Wanted a dual color change. This is what I came up with after playing around. Any advice? This is not a camera edit, as someone from PenguinMagic said it was. I recorded an instructional video and will send it to a respected moderator if proof is needed. Still have not developed a routine-friendly patter, but this one has tons of potential (jacks growing up into kings, etc.] Also, no gimmicked cards at all, may be done from a borrowed deck.

I can't say this is original since there are already many concepts like these. But it was pretty good.

I like it.
I'm sure you can come up with other ideas other than color changes.
I don't know how you do it, but you could add this to the end of the 2 card monte. Turn them back into aces/queens.
As if what they saw was just pure illusion.
Good job!

MadNuke · May 23, 2008

thanks for the feedback, and danny that was a great suggestion in terms of monte integration considering the layout of the cards is very similar to that of 2CM. Here is a different version I shot FYE, enjoy:

It's ok....

But if you're turning over the black queen, and it become a red one...doesn't it make it seem like a double sided card? Or at least....very STRANGE?

The first hange is unnatural and awkward too.

And it has no meaning...yet

I agree, I'm trying to figure out some ways to hide that move.

Hey man!

Hey, well people that wrote here, i guess they are advanced in the cardhandling thingies (sorry for my english).

Me, a beginner, is ever so amazed by this trick, so for me, that just learned how to make double lifts, ambitious card trick etc think this was amazing. Yet i know pretty much the basics of card handling by now. (maybe this doesn't matter, anyway)

So you took me by surprise and i really enjoyed the video, the later video was better though then the first, more "flashy".

What i am trying to say is that for "normal" people, this is amazing trick. Well thought!

Thanks buddy! I think one problem in magic is that a lot of more advanced cardicians tend to design effects for magicians rather than to amaze laypeople. I appreciate the comment!

It looks very cool. But, there are already things like this so I don't thibk we can say it's brand new. By the way, You don't have to give us any proof.

we here at T11, all believe you, and take your word for it.

You don't always need to know the most advanced moves and most advanced sleights. The basics will get you much farther than you think.

adjones · May 24, 2008

^True that, homie. I use very basic sleights and still get good reactions. Nothing too hard for me... unless I REALLY like the effect.
