whats the effect, the card coming to the top or the top card changing into the card? is it happening by magic or because your doing the move, it seems like you do more tricks than magic. i mean to say you present them as tricks,and they feel that you fooled them with sleight of hand. more of a "how did you do that"reactions than "how did that happen, you didnt do anything" type of thing.Is that how you kind of see your style.

@TheBradTobin

I do not claim any magical powers. I tell them right up front that everything I do is sleight of hand.

As magicians we play a role. We are acting. We create the illusion of magic. All I hope when I perform is that what I do looks magical. I do not care if they know how it works. I know how movies are made but I still enjoy the illusion they create. I'm just a normal guy who can do some cool stuff.

As far as the ACR goes the effect is the card keeps appearing on top under seemingly more impossible and fair conditions each time. Wether the top card changes into their card or the card rises to the top or is transported there is all up to the spectator postulate.

If u don't mind me asking, about how long did it take you to get the pass down good enough to where you started using it with lay audiences?

[kammagic]

@kickyabutt

The Pass can be learned well enough to use in only a few weeks. But it takes years to master. I probably practiced it for a couple years before it became something I used on a regular basis. You can't master the Pass in front of a mirror you have to get out and use it.

when performing i know in this routine you perform it as a "secret move" but there is also the ambitous story about their card being ambitous and out going wich one do you like better?

[kammagic]

@pjthunder123

I'm not a big fan of cards taking on the characteristics of something other then cards. So to me a card being ambitious is silly. I want people to take me and my performance seriously.

I love bikes!

.. plus when you perform its not about what you like its what your audience will like that is important. Your audience feels comfortable seeing something they are familiar with. This also makes them less suspicious. All very important when performing.

@JustinTheMagician12

The people are tipping YOU not the waitstaff. A tip is a gift in return for something you gave them. In this case entertainment. Nobody is obligated to leave a tip. They do it because they want to. It is very disrespectful to turn down a tip and even more disrespectful to give it to someone the giver didn't want it to go to. What if their waiter did a terrible job? Why would you give him your hard earned $20 tip?

Added to my favorites. Very, very, very nice ACR.

[MastahMich]

I love this routine so much. What do you actually do if people keep asking like "how you do that"?

[ACEKING26]

shut up, how did it? Shut up!!!!!

What's more amazing is that someone is named Kee.

@kammagic Dam! what a great answer!

[Meklorka]

Very nice variations on the ACR. I appreciated the variety in each reveal. Thank you for not ending with the bending of the card to the top of the deck,
