I refer to David regals review of Invisible, by Jay Sankey(Genii, June issue). In it he states that 'done poorly,( the Invisible deck) it will still amaze people'
I agree, but only because its such a good effect!
Know any others like it?

Re: Regals review
Not sure what you're asking for... tricks that you can do badly and still amaze people?

Re: Regals review
Nah, sponges require false transfers and misdirection. How about Scotch & Soda?

Yeah, sorry but I can't support that...

'done poorly still amazes people'
Just think of that for a moment....perhaps missing my point here.

Re: Regals review
Right: theoretically, nothing done poorly would amaze anyone.
But I have seen horrible, painful performances of say, "The $100 Bill Switch", or "The Torn and Restored Newspaper" that have made me all scrunched-up and uncomfortable inside, just waiting for the crowd to turn on the performer who seemed to me to be obviously ham-handedly butchering the tricks, only to see even those horrible performances absolutely knock some people out.

Did Vernon perform the Invisible Deck much ? ( or prefer to rely on sleight of hand?)

The egg bag? I guess it depends on how poorly we're talking about.

Might apply to productions which seem siginificant, say a dovesteal done into a newspaper or fountain of silks from a pocket handkerchief or professor cheer's rope...
