Greetings Mr.Wagner. First of let me say that I'm a big fan of your work and its great to have you here at the Café. Im very much into card effects so I must ask you this. In card magic what do you feel are the Two strongest effects ever made? You probally get that question a lot but this is my Favorite question to ask a magician when I meet them.
Thanks Mr Wagner

If I may throw in my .02 cents...I think "Super Closer" is one of the most ingenious pieces of card magic ever created! It's the closer of my card routine in my Victorian parlor act.

Hi Weapon, The stongest effects you say. They are all STRONG effects, because YOU are the one that makes them STRONG and unbeleiveable! You should ALLWAYS chose an effect that suits your personality and stile of performance, not just because you think it's a cool trick or effect! How do you know that,you try out one you think has what you think is pretty effective and Magical. You study it, analize it and try to fit it to your personality. After that, when you perform it and you don't feel you got the right reaction from it, maybe the effect does'nt suit you or your personality. Believe me when I say this, your audince will know the difference! What are my two stongest effects I do at the bar? Card under thier drink works for me and think of a card with all the outs I put in Commercial Magic and on the Tapes and D.V.D's Hope that helps you a little.

Best in Magic young man, J.C.

Rick, Thanks for using my effect. Glad it works for you. Check out "Full Metal Jacket" for some more work on that effect. I think you'll like the improvements.

Best, J.C.

J.C.,
I'll definitely be getting a copy soon. I've gotten more great, practical material out of your books than most places I've looked.

Keep it up and glad you're back "on the scene".

Rick

Thanx J.C very inspirational =o)

I have seen J.C. perform many times (and have been taught invaluable lessons yoo), and I would say the strongest effect that is his would be "The Card Under the Drink". He nailed me with that one every single time!
