Top effects from Genii 2005
I was wondering if anyone was interested in sharing what their top 1 or 2 effects from Genii were in 2005?

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
The Linking Ring move that appeared several months ago is amazing. I remember reading that and wondering: "Why didn't I think of that?" I don't have that copy of Genii handy and I can't remember the contributor or issue date. :)

Would that linking ring move be "Full Circle" by Brian Nordstrom in the August 2005 Genii (Criss Angel on the cover)?

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the list! The only two absent entries I noticed are:
APRIL, 2005
4 x 4 Magic Square (Harry Lorayne)
OCTOBER, 2005
Caffeine Overdose (me)
Bill Duncan recently sent me some work on the latter that I'll be glad to post when I'm back on my home computer. In addition, here's a link for anyone who would like to see Romaine perform "Double Kicker," from the April, 2005 issue:
http://www.davidacermagic.com/david-ace ... -peeks.htm
Just answer the question that gets you into (onto?) the SNEAK PEEKS page, then click on Romaine's "Double Kicker" on the right side of the page.

Once you've answered the question (which is in place only to weed out non magicians, not to foil those in the know), a new window should open, in which you will see Marc DeSouza's bill-change routine, "Picasso's Bill" from DeSouza's DeCeptions in a column down the left side of the page. On the right side of the page is a box menu with links to the rest of the site (i.e., CATALOGUE, HOME, etc.), and just below that, another box listing PAST SNEAK PEEKS. The link to Romaine's "Double Kicker" is at the top of the list.

Something else to think about; the first time I did this the window was blocked by Google's pop up blocker - you might want to check the yellow bar :)

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
Yes Joe--Thank you for posting your response. It most certainly was Brian Nordstrom's "Full Circle." Locking key rings kinda make this move somewhat obsolete, but nonetheless it's a beauty!

For locking key rings to have rendered Brians move obsolete, they would have to have rendered standard key rings in general obsolete. Is that really the case? Arent the vast majority of magicians still using standard key rings?

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
Yes David, I'm sure most magicians are still utilizing standard key rings. I also believe that locking key rings are more expensive than standard ones, which would mean that more magicians are still working with traditional sets for economical reasons.
If I had a locking key ring, I wouldn't bother with Brian's utility move.

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
I saw Richard Sanders absolutely fry a group of laymen at the holding-area bar of the ComedyWorks a few weeks back with "Pile of Change," from the June, 2005 issue, and Pete McCabe's "Conveyor Belt" (July, 2005) is officially my all-time favourite card-to-pocket routine. Also, I'm surprised there wasn't any buzz on the forum about Tom Stone's "Venetian Deck" (August, 2005). It's a great twist on the electric-deck gag, and a terrific lead-in to any card routine wherein a spectator is first handed the deck to shuffle.

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
David,
That's just about the best compliment I've ever received in magic. (Although the previous best was David Regal saying that I am the most emphatic man in magic, so perhaps this isn't saying so much.)
When are you and Richie coming back to the Castle? I'd love to see you do the dance bit.

Pete, you got it wrong. I said you were the most "phonetic" man in magic because of the way you move your lips when you read.

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
"Pile of Change" is great but finding the right person with a pocketful of change can be challenging. You need to create the moment...
Next time you're at the coffeeshop or grocery check-out line feign not having the exact change. When the cashier asks, dip your hand into the spare change container near the till and work your miracle.

I don't have my copy of "Piles of Change" handy, but I remember thinking that if you simply had a quarter with you, it would be much easier to find a spectator with the requisite amount of change.

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
Hi Pete,
I've always felt that part of the beauty of Richard's routine is that, a) You don't need to approach it with anything palmed, and b) At the conclusion, the spectator is under the impression that he's made 24 cents on the deal without you actually having to pay into it.

Re: Top effects from Genii 2005
Well sure; I was just pointing out that the trick does not actually require a spectator with a pile of cash. Besides, you're a rich TV star -- give the spectator 24 cents.
