D*ck-sterity?

Gordolini

I agree with Pete. Perhaps the audience member was not what you would typically find on an L&L video for example, but I sensed more of a baffled and stunned speechless reaction each time the effect was repeated.

Gordolini

I enjoyed Tony's performance. I thought that the deliberate pacing, presentation and quirky humor (what was the name of the trick?) was a brilliant piece of misdirection that grows stronger with the repetition - similar to an ambitious card routine such as performed by Tommy Wonder. Then again, I ma...

Interesting, especially to read quotes from Vernon...

Temperance - Thank you for the tips and the video link. There seems to be a familiar tone in the writing found in the Phantom Notebooks...

A couple more references that include the Marlo Slip Cut:

"Slippage" section in the book Marlo on Erdnase (2007)compiled by Jon Racherbaumer

and the ebook Edward Marlo's The Definitive Slip Cut (2007) by Jon Racherbaumer

Arrived in Louisville today. Neil's card prediction from the magazine cover was fun. Looking forward to reading the rest. Thanks

Not questioning Lance, but the trick may be overexposed - even the stage host guessed that the glass would float. Damian's genii bottle theme may be terrific - just hoping the YouTube comment crowd play nice.

...and recently performed on America's Got Talent to a chorus of boos...?

From Wikipedia: "Chinaman is a term that refers to a Chinese man. Not defined as offensive by older dictionaries, its use is nowadays discouraged by Asian American organizations and others, and considered offensive by modern dictionaries. The term has been used without stated offensive intent, ...

Yes, simple...

How about basic customer service?

Gordolini

Same timing for me - I was impressed with the prompt service and delivery.

Arrived today in Louisville.

Just received in Louisville a couple days ago.

You gotta love the reaction at the end of the Ambitious Card routine on the Fox channel clip:

One of the newscasters shouted "Are you ******** me?!?"

Great job Josh.

Gordolini

Agree

The Cervon description noted that there is no get ready which is also pointed out by Minch in the book Ever So Sleightly on the Nash knock out double lift, page 17, copyright 1975. From the Nash book: The basic idea was arrived at in a session between Martin and Dick Zimmerman. The double lift descr...

The lecture on Marlo and Vernon was much anticipated and a joy to attend. Both Jon and David presented a number of pictures and film clips on the large projection screens located on each side of the stage. Jon started the lecture and shared many interesting facts and personal anecdotes. Visuals incl...

Another industry indicator - the value added tactic to retain subscribers has become more prevalent today the Louisville Courier-Journal sent an early morning Thank You email and Reward notification for the first 90 responders to claim their reward for this month for being a loyal subscriber(Courier...

For example, you could borrow a deck and spread the cards facing you from your left hand to the right hand under the excuse of looking for the Jokers to discard. During this action you cull the aces (spot an ace and down jog with the block of cards you have already spread. Continue to spread and dow...

Did the contest end May 15 and was the grand prize winner announced?

Try "Good Turns" by Jon Racherbaumer. I believe e-book is available on his website as part of Premium membership.

Gordolini

Received June edition today and looking forward to reading tonight. Question - I usually receive Genii much earlier in the month but apparently copies that have renewal notices included are processed later? Still, I am amazed at the consistency and quality every month. Thanks

Gordolini

Happy Birthday Richard. Perhaps I could buy you a drink when you visit Louisville. Enjoy

Gordolini

I heard the encore was a disappering cigarette.... :-)

Gordolini

As pointed out earlier, social norms will continue to evolve and vary by geography, cultural background, age, experiences, etc but some venues may have audiences that are more willing to accept a cigarette act or trick where cigarette smoking is not out of place perhaps some night clubs, street magi...

I received spam last year from same - suspected that the source was from my Genii forum profile.

A version of cutting the aces using the Charlier one hand cut is also published as "TV Aces" in Million Dollar Card Secrets by Frank Garcia. Enjoy.

Gordolini

Received in Louisville today. Thanks!

Gordolini

Dustin - I believe the glitch you noted is an example of the problem that started with the new registation process. Sure hope this can be fixed.
