Impromptu boomerang card by magician Robert Pound .wmv

Here you can see my Boomerang card round spectators body, This took about 13 year to learn, for 10 years I tried to work it out! Obviously not every day. When working on Dynamo's Concrete playground I meet Doug McKenzie who while speckling about wont to learn how to do this I said " Its like I need to do it like this" and did it. I practised this off and on and then on the 1st January at a show (the first clip) I did it for the first time to an audience, where I catch with a different hand to that with which i throw it with. This became a main part of my close up magic in 23rd September 2009 after working a trade show in London I was never a big fan of throwing cards because I couldn't utilise it within my close up magic and always like the idea of doing this. My sister is an antiquarian book seller and sold books to Ricky Jay but understandable couldn't put me in touch with him, who was one of the few people I believed would know how to do this. I am lead to believe in the music hall days, there where acts that would boomerang cards round auditoriums but found nothing on this. My reason for putting this on-line is knowing the magic world I would like to get credit for what I have spent time learning to do, I am aware of things I have developed being put onto the magic fraternity without being credited but I would like to be the one to teach this one day! It has been suggested I do a DVD but Eric Mead and Ken Weber I believe make the point that too many people rush to realise things to the magic world and their books highlight people who have worked and made written something to be proud of also I make my living doing some routine no one else does why would I teach them! Special mention must be made to Angelo Carbone who made a comments on the phone tonight that made me work on this till 3:30 am in the morning to get this on line and is a valued friend and great thinker. And finally I write this all here not just for you but in time I will forget the finer details, I am incredibly proud of the routine I do because it is only when you work hard at something you get better, I had to get everything so Tracey couldn't see it and with Marc Spelmann's guidance back in the day and my time practising I might just be getting somewhere!

i always try to impress but as i wont it to be like magic its very hard to achieve

[danishmagic97]

hey dude! Can't you reveal it?

[RobertPoundMagician]

there is so much information so ease to get hold of in the magic world. There are things that i have spent years trying to learn as my era of magic wasn't as open!

I have had a look at your effects and there are other things you should devote you time to first, this is meant in a nice way, this is a pointless flush i have built into a routine I have been boomeranging card for over 10 years and trust me this isn't a teach in five minutes thing.
