something else I noticed: You need to use your patter to set up what is going to happen. Tell them what you are going to do, then do it. You have the tendency to do the move then tell them what you did. Its much stronger if you tell them what you are going to do then do it. example: if you remove the face without warning them many people will miss it or not understand what you did. If set them up, it focuses everyones attention on that moment. "I can remove the face like this" (remove the face)
@kammagic You're absolutely right! Such a seemingly small detail, but I can see that maybe some of the subdued reaction was due to not being able to follow everything...
Not bad. You should always use a red deck so the face shows up better. The trick is all about the face. Everyone must be able to see it. If you really want it to stand out use a smiley sticker.
@kammagic Thank you Mr. Kamm for the helpful comments! You're right, of course, but it was a spur of the moment inspiration to do this trick, so I went for it. It was easier to see than the video makes it seem, but still, red is the way to go. Great suggestion about the sticker! And thanks for making this handling available to the community, it's a great trick!
okay :), ive been watching your material since just about the begining and i think its fantastic how much youve improved in all aspects of this art, you are a true inspiration to me and i hope you keep up the great work!
