Sidetracked

It has been AGES since the last time I uploaded anything, trust me... I'm well aware. Unfortunately, life has been extremely busy and hectic and therefore I, plain and simple, just didn't have the time. Now, finally I have been able to take a little time out to upload something, so here it is.

This trick is called Sidetracked, and it can be found on Dorion Rhodell's Avenue DVD which is available on dananddave.com So, check it out!

Other then that, sorry for the horrible video quality... my regular camera is having some issues and thus I had to resort to this. I hope you can still see what is going on, somewhat, and that it isn't totally pathetic!

Until next time, take care.

[XCManipulator]

@RobbieBarnby

No I didn't make this up, the credit for the trick is in the information section.

Thanks for commenting!

aha I love it.

Just at the end when you throw the jacks, it doesn't make the trick look "smooth".

@whismic

Well I am no perfectionist, and in live performance throwing the jacks like that has a greater impact as it gives the spectator a "beat that!" kind of an image :P Thanks for commenting.

@XCManipulator

I agree with whismic. I dont feel it helps the trick.

Although I see what you are getting at, the way you did it didn't work.

And I also feel that the last... move could have been replaced by a less suspicious one. Like... why would you put the jacks on top then take away the other cards?

@sciffydof

In the actual trick, the last move is (what I believe) and extremely easily detectable and overused move, especially for live performances. Therefore to make my performance seem fair in all situation, I had to variate that move with the one I chose. Yes, it isn't the best move to use however in almost all live situation it is never caught and easily overlooked.

Your input and feedback is appreciated, thanks a lot! :)

@supremecardmonkey Check my Subscriptions and Friends lists.  You will find her in both. Plus, I have Playlisted all of her videos so far.

[supremecardmonkey]

@TheMatrix72370 That was very poetic.... ;) In that case I suggest you check out wood071. She's a great magician on YouTube, although she hasn't been uploading for a while. She has a pretty good Elmsley count, in her Twisting the Aces video.

[TheMatrix72370]

@supremecardmonkey Men are visual creatures. They like looking at things that please the eye. Women fulfill that need because they are visually pleasing to look at. When you add the ingredients of mystery and surprise to the mix, of which women have both in natural abundance, and is essential to magic, it is easy to tell why I prefer female magicians over male magicians. What you've just read is both 100% true AND 100% false at the same time in my case.

[supremecardmonkey]

@TheMatrix72370 Haha, why?

[TheMatrix72370]

@supremecardmonkey If you wish to recommend that I watch a performance, tutorial, or both when it comes to magic, please limit yourself to the ladies, as I have given up on watching the men. Thank you.

[supremecardmonkey]

@TheMatrix72370 Whoa! I thought the Elmsley count was the worst part of the trick. It should be performed diagonally and more slowly and smoothly. Please check out andyfieldmagic's Perfect Elmsley Count Tutorial, and also my Picasso Aces trick for a performance.

[supremecardmonkey]

I disagree with sciffydof and whimsic, throwing the jacks gives the audience the feel that you have nothing to hide, everything is fair and normal. Loved the performance, very smooth and well practiced. That's a definate thumb up for you ! ;)

[xxxbiggxxx]

Whoa....been awhile huh? lol

Glad to see you still got it! Great job. :)

[eskrimadorian]

Not bad. Been a while since I have seen your stuff Myst....

Anyway, your patter could use some work. Also, it could be much smoother. Otherwise I thought it was pretty good.
