The Genii Forum

I usually break all my new decks with at least 16 faros. Does the job:) Remember that the secret is in the precision and the smoothness, not in the strength.

Thats the one! thx Joe!

hey there,

I'm trying to find that trick which...I think, was published in Genii a while back? Or was it in another magazine?? :blush:

You take (apparently) a bic razor and change it instantly into a matchbox.

Any idea when that was published? Anyone?

Thanx,
Seb

hey there, heres a funny list I saw somewhere on facebook. Thought some of you might enjoy it! Seb ---------------------------------------------------- You might be a magician if 1. Your best pickup line is "Pick a card." 2. You use the word "effect" rather than "trick"...

It is intended for laymen, definitely. I know the keyword for laymen is "simple", no question about it. But I wasnt really looking for direction on this one, I was really just wondering what your preference is, and why? And Jonathan, by the way, I was beeing quite sarcastic about the dove ...

Yes Jonathan, I thought about a dove apparition at the end but a puppy? I think youre beeing ridiculous. And no... my patter doesnt really give any motivation to have a kicker at the end... But it looks cool... :crazy: So I guess you're not a fan of the O' Henry finish? Why not? Just doesnt make sen...

Hey there, It seems I've become obsessed with playing with ace assemblies and Jazz Aces variations lately. What in your opinion is better? The regular ending or the O' Henry kicker? Here's a pretty good one if you havent seen it before. French guy named Arnaud Chevrier (sometimes known as "Twin...

Thx for the recommendations. I think I'll just forget about the flash paper for that particular gig, though. I'll be there for 2 days and I can live without it this time. But I'll certainly remember this thread the next time I have to take the plane!

Thx,
Seb

Damn.
Cant I do anything right? :grin:

I'll try and visit the magic shop over there if time permits cos' my schedule is pretty tight once I get there. Thx for the link Jim!

Aaaaaaaaand on with the show :)

Seb

Thx David,
I guess I'll just fedex a few sheets over there before I leave. Thanks for the advice,
Seb

Hahaha! Ok David... I get your point... I wasnt even joking about it :( Its best if I leave the stuff at home, I guess, then... Damn. Youre right. I guess you did help me a lot... Flash paper is nothing to some of us cos' we use it all the time I guess... I must've been painfully foolish, yeah :craz...

Thx Jim.

Thanks David, That helped me a little. I'll make sure to check out the link. And I'll be over there for 3 days only, so I'll just bring one suit and a few extra shirts in case. As for the flash paper issue..... couldnt I just take the chance and put a few fresh sheets somewhere between the pages of ...

Hey folks, I have to travel by plane for a trade show gig at the end of the month. I'm not used to flying by plane so heres the thing; 1)Is there anything in a closeup magic case that could cause a problem at the airport? I'm thinking flash paper, fire wallet (along with the lighter fluid!!)? Probab...

Haha that was funny. If it'd been real I would have found it depressing yep :)

Since when is what you talk about in your patter the same as what you actually do? Eeeeeexactly... Carlo Morpurgo said "The use of stooges is not fair to the public." Really? Why not? What's the difference between using sleight of hand or using a stooge? The effect is everything isn't it?...
