Hey everybody!
As some of you may have noticed, over on the social medias, I've been posting daily videos as part of what I'm calling Sleight365. Long story short, I'm posting a new video every day of a sleight, or sleight of hand trick. While originality is not one of the explicit criteria, I try to at the very least have my own spin/touches on any material that's not original to me. So, HOPEFULLY, even when it's not 100% original to me, everything should still have some of me in it. I don't want to spam the Café with a new video every day, so I think I'm going to try and post once a week with that weeks videos, assuming everyone here is interested. Feel free to share these publicly, I have no shame.

Week 1 (Aug 5-11)
Day 1 The classic colour change This is a side steal I've been focusing on for the past few years. My main goal was to have all of the left fingers on the sides of the deck. That is, no finger/thumb on top of the deck, which is usually necessary to clip the bulk of the deck in place during the steal. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXbiXPgA90Y/ Day 2 Retention Vanish, "Banish" Retention vanish variations, first more classic, second to simulate tossing the coin into the hand. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXefk6FgSCo/ Day 3 Bare handed coin production https://www.instagram.com/p/BXgDpJnAfcL/ Day 4 Simple trick using a peek control, and a sloppy DPS https://www.instagram.com/p/BXjQHCFAIk5/ Day 5 The World's Fastest Card Trick To commemorate the passing of the Legendary Eugene Burger (June 1, 1939 – August 8, 2017) https://www.instagram.com/p/BXlcPVpgJug/ Day 6 Slow-mo Snap, variation of a vertical Marlo Snap Change This is a colour change I independently developed about 10 years back, originally with a different, ****tier, cleanup, as seen here: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... cation=ufi Shane Cobalt developed a similar change, with a FAR superior clean-up. He gave me some criticism and advice regarding my cleanup, which I took and changed the direction of my clean up, VASTLY improving it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXohnKOgOWt/ Day 7 Spread Pass This quicky has a few moves and touches on other people's ideas. The first flourishy spread with the Ace gliding along was something I came up with as an alternative to Lee Asher's Silver Surfer. Then there's a few different ideas at play in the LePaul Spread Pass, although I fell into OLD habits as this still has a noticeable "accordion" action with the hands during the actual shift. Eliminating the accordion action has USUALLY been my focus when working on the spread pass, but completely lost all that work in this moment, lol. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXqQphRA5_7/

Week 2 (Aug 12-18)
Day 8 Tabled Riffle shuffle Action Palm I shared this move on the Pebble a few years back. A palm of the 4 aces from the top of the deck during a tabled riffle shuffle. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXt28SUAN0E/ Day 9 Four Ace Control Four aces apparently inserted into four different places in the deck, all return to the top, with no shuffling, cutting, or shifting. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXwDeGCgwRO/ Day 10 Super clean coin vanish An impromptu vanish developed many moons ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXyq1zUg4pF/ First 10 days BONUS VIDEO This was a fun video to commemorate the first 10 days of trying to film magic with kids around: https://www.instagram.com/p/BXy5LE5gC0b/ Day 11 Cover pass based on the Thompson shift, and a colour change based on the twirl change https://www.instagram.com/p/BX1d5gpA6wT/ Day 12 Sloppy bottoms, in the wind. These would loose me my hands, lol. https://www.instagram.com/p/BX1d5gpA6wT/ Day 13 One of my FAVOURITE vanishes, with a KILLER retention. If anyone knows the proper credit, I'd love to know. I believe I first saw I performed by Jonathan Townsend, but I'm not certain. https://www.instagram.com/p/BX6dWqYn9pV/ Day 14 Sloppy seconds, in the wind. Again, would loose my hands. https://www.instagram.com/p/BX9D2f9gUVv/

Week 3 (Aug 19-25)
Day 15 Another Colour Change! This is another variation of the side steal change I posted for day one, but with a different get ready. Also, Thompson shift again. https://www.instagram.com/p/BX_dxIlgOxX/ Day 16 This is more or less a variation on Tyler Wilson's Run n' Tug vanish from his book Dominatricks. Difference mainly being the grip, and a few tweaks to facilitate the move from the new grip/postition. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYCVpcvnJ3N/ Day 17 Vertical Snap Change Marlo snap change, held vertically, and with deck clean up, and pretentious unnecessary card twirly and flipping. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYE4dnaAl31/ Day 18 Shrinking Deck using Squeeze Change Originally this was a single card shrink, but last second I realized I could apply it to a whole deck shrink. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYHku8YHc3h/ Day 19 Face-up Tent Vanish I originally came up with this for an Open Travellers handling that ultimately evolved into Wide Open Travellers (A Series of Unfortunate Effects. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYKHQd3nbWT/ Day 20 A Pip Rip Trick Variation of a common plot. I'm not sure of the origins of the first change I do, but it's similar to the latter half of the Cervon Free Turn Pass, I believe. The second is the Twirl Change variant from day 11. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYMTxmnnpLD/ Day 21 Sleight of Finger Something from Meir Yedid's Finger Fantasies, featuring the appearing wedding ring! https://www.instagram.com/p/BYO1MvMnxYo/

Week 4 (Aug 26-Sept 1)
Day 22 A one handed coin change Based on something in Kenner's Totally Out of Control, this happens at the finger tips, with no cover. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYRhNW1HHtR/ Day 23 Crazy Man's Handcuffs With a delayed release allowing for an added convincer. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYUMxYLHkTk/ Day 24 Bottom Palm This is essentially a variation on the Erdnase bottom palm, first method, second variation. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYW-hQ3nIIh/ Day 25 Senoj Change. This is something I stumbled upon by my mind interpreting the Buck Twins' Jones Change, backwards, the first time I saw it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYZXuP7nN3b/ Day 26 A variation in the Erdnase Transformation, two hands, first method. I know I'm not the only person who does this. I came up with it to avoid the initial push forward action that usual begins most handling. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYcLAQ7naw_/ Day 27 A vanish I've been toying with recently. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYeZ51Tgg8G/ Day 28 A coin vanish attempting to mimicking Cornelius' Fickle Nickle, with sleight of hand. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYgyMwsnFsA/

Week 5 (Sept 3-Sept 9)
Day 29 Impromptu Floating Card https://www.instagram.com/p/BYjwoiXHiXI/ Day 30 Impromptu Coin Thru Glass An idea I had many years back, but haven't really played with much since. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYmP13unk2t/ Day 31 A shift https://www.instagram.com/p/BYpFl8cHoP5/ Day 32 Spring Out Pop Out A pop out from a card spring. Oddly, this actually inadvertently came from playing the Anaconda card dribble. https://www.instagram.csom/p/BYrrz8on6U1/ Day 33 Linking Rubber Bands A Dan Harlan style Linking Rubber Bands, with a few finesses "of mine," but I'm sure they predate me. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYtxwWyncZO/ Day 34 A Rinsing Card Change Inspired by a bit on Gregory Wilson's Card Stunts, from a multiple production routine. The original involved Raise Rise, and a bit more get ready. At the time of watching the video, Raise Rise was still a bit beyond my reach (and after seeing Tony Chang's work with it, I now realize it will FOREVER be beyond my reach,) so I worked up this instead. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYwlyyXHz4z/ Day 35 Cardistry and Paintbrush Change A couple of snippets of Cardistry for fun, and a Paintbrush Change. Not really much added here. Pretty standard I think. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYzdjBwHTd4/

Week 7 (Sept 9-15)
Day 36 Aaron Fisher's Revolver routine A few minor tweaks. Nothing I wold dare call an "improvement," but just personal preference. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY1xP5dHRqP/ Day 37 Ring on Rubber Band This one is based on a LOT of different people's work. I don't know off hand who first published the underlying principle, probably Dan Harlan. A lot of the approach for the displays here was inspired by Michael Scanzello's Pi, although essentially reversed, so the displays are from the other side of the hand. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY4ZTrsHXJ_/ Day 38 Slow Motion Card Vanish Inspired by Dai Vernon's original, but a completely different technique as I could never make Vernon's work for me. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY61swSHGMH/ Day 39 Shuffled, Unshuffled A really crappy Truffle Shuffle, followed by a visual seperation/re-ordering I won't specify what it's based on, as it's too good. That said, I'm sure many will recognize it's roots. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY9RzcxHo0V/ Day 40 Kenner's Linking Rubber Bands This is pretty much as published (as far as I recall.) I don't think there's really anything original here. Maybe the presentation of the linking moment, but probably not. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY_346vH57C/ Day 41 Cold Fusion A silly idea I had for a seemingly impromptu bit of magic with ice. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZCkgXpHtYi/ Day 42 My Colour Changing Deck routine Pretty much as taught on Chris Mayhew's [u]A Series of Unfortunate Effects.[/u] Updated patter/presentation, which I'm really pleased with actually. That's the one part of this routine that I was always unsatisfied with, as it always felt forced. I think the silliness helps here, and the premise follows through from start to finish, which really pleases me. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZFP9_7HRLY/
