Thanks, Nathan...but the credit has to go to Rich on that one.
By the way...when the one piece falls out, I put my foot on it to make it seem as though I'm trying to cover a mistake...this whole procedure is to get the corner into play without having to do a sleight of hand switch... Rick

Hi Rick,
You misunderstood me. The "Centerpiece" was what I was talking about. Of course I did not invent the Devil's Hanky or the subtlety you mentioned taught by Rich. : ) All the best, Kranzo

Anyone use a "vanishing cone"?

You could use Mark Wilson's method for vanishing a bill using a stack of envelopes. I use it all the time. Easy, but very effective.
You can find it in his book, "Cyclopedia of Magic: A Complete Course". Later, Rudy |

I use the Tamariz method.. "Double-Crossing the Gaze" and it's wonderful.
But should you use it? The method you choose very much depends on the presentation and your personality. If you choose one that does not fit both it will magnify the moment to your audience and signal "now I'm doing something tricky", ruining the effect completely.

You could also simply use the common vanish used in the standard "Biddle Trick." Then you could palm the card off later. This separates the method from the moment of magic.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Rich Marotta didn't invent the idea of dropping a loose piece to 'identify' a torn and vanished card that appears elsewhere. That was the original idea of the torn corner bit.
Somewhere along the line someone "improved" it by creating a visual switch of the torn corner and handing it out as a "receipt." The idea of accidental proof of the card is very strong psychologically, but magicians like methods that fool them... |

For my platform work, I have a wooden card and bill switching box that I bought years ago. The other side of the "gimmick" as the torn corner from the card in the orange. I tell the spectator that I have a "receipt" for them which I reach in and take out. I ask them to hold one in each hand (the box and the receipt). I then have them open the "empty" box and show it to the audience. Then cut open the orange and show them that the corner is from the "restored" card.
Jim Cellini also has a great idea for making a gimmick for this in his street magic book. I have found this works well for repeat performances. Orange juice is hell on playing cards, which is why I have used Hoyles (plastic coated) as they hold up better than Bikes for this effect. Bob Phillips |
