What a great effect! Are any of you currently doing Vernon's version? Can you refer me to other versions that may be a little better! Courage is the willingness to be afraid and act anyway! Matt New user 40 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 8:55am       Our own Scott Guinn has a powerful one. Matt AndiGladwin V.I.P. UK 572 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 12:33pm       For me, the cleanest looking is Paul Curry's original. I haven't seen Vernon's version (and wasn't aware that he had one), but I think most of the others complicate the effect. Derren Brown's version is quite impressive as it frames the effect much better than, "Just deal the cards and see what you get. Wow! You must be magic, look at this!" It's one of the only routines of this nature that I have actually sat down and learnt! --Andi View my Close-up Magician website or Vanishing Inc Magic Tilt Veteran user L.A. 387 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 1:20pm       Harry Loraynes Out of this Universe from Close up Card Magic. Tilt Alewishus Inner circle parts unknown 1035 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 1:24pm       Just read up on Garry Oulette's impromptu version; worth a look! Sack subs, ok Ross? We miss you asper. Quinn Inner circle with an outer triangle 1946 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 2:04pm       My favorite version is Paul Harris's Galaxy, which eliminates the funny stuff in the middle. Haven't seen Vernon's though. Martino Special user Manchester, UK 765 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 3:45pm       I second Andi Gladwins recommendation of Derren Browns version on his video "The Devils Picturebook." It's very clean! Also, if you get the chance to view the video check out the hilarious Guy Hollingworth mickey take after the closing credits. I had tears rolling down my cheeks (facial ones obviously!) "There's a difference between not knowing how something is done and knowing it can't be done!" - Simon Aronson IanB Regular user England 126 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 6:32pm       I agree with Tilt. The best version is unquestionably "Out of this Universe." For an impromptu method Roy Johnson's "Un-Worldly" from his book "Second Time Around" Page 35, takes some beating Scott F. Guinn Inner circle FINALLY A DADDY! 6480 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 7:21pm       Stewart James has an outstanding version in "The James File." P.S. Thanks, Matt! "Love God, laugh more, spend more time with the ones you love, play with children, do good to those in need, and eat more ice cream. There is more to life than magic tricks." - Scott F. Guinn (Finally a daddy!) @ScottFGuinn MichelAsselin Veteran user 20th century, 3rd dimension 325 Posts Posted: Jan 24, 2002 9:59pm       My favorite is Steve Draun's. They deal through once, you assemble, you spread or deal. Cleaner than Galaxy. If there are two participants to involve, John Kennedy's is VERY strong. " , ? ; !!!

Totally impromptu - starts with having the spectator shuffle the deck. Only uses half the deck (cuts out some of the dealing time), and has a prediction kicker ending where you've predicted the only couple cards they "missed". Never ask a dog to watch your food. Steve Landavazo Special user Northern California 654 Posts Posted: Jan 25, 2002 12:53am       Thanks everyone! I'll be looking into other versions as well! Courage is the willingness to be afraid and act anyway! maurile Regular user San Diego 102 Posts Posted: Mar 12, 2002 5:40pm       Gene Grant's impromptu method is taught on Michael Ammar's video, The Exciting World of Magic. cardguy Inner circle Queens, New York 1171 Posts Posted: Mar 13, 2002 12:34am       I vote for Paul Harris's Galaxy. Three reasons: 1- You do a real riffle shuffle before the trick starts. 2- They deal straight thru without stopping 3- Final display is super convincing and clean. Frank G. a.k.a. Cardguy Thomas Hudecsek Regular user 106 Posts Posted: Mar 13, 2002 1:53am       even if it is not the same effect as "out of this world" I get the strongest reactions with Harry Loraynes "out of this universe" when performing out of this world, I only use the Lorayne version out of "my favorite card tricks" impromptu out of this world. in my opinion, J. C. Wagners prediction of the mistakes is an anticlimax. At least when I performed it. I get stronger reactions when I stop right after the final revelation of the colours. Martin_H Regular user Austria 164 Posts Posted: Mar 13, 2002 5:30am       I agree with Thomas - "impromptu out of this world" is one of the finest version. I also think a prediction misleads from the (strong) effect of diverting cards by "intuition" life is real magic Paul Inner circle A good lecturer at your service! 4206 Posts Posted: Mar 13, 2002 10:13am       My favourite version is Curry's own improvement which I came across in his "Special Effects" book years ago. It is also in the new Curry book as The Charm of Luck. Different presentation, less dealing, great trick. But since someone mentioned James, I must go back and check that out when I get time! Where is Vernon's version in print Steve? Don't recall that. Paul. "Mentalism With Cards" will soon be out of print. "The Tree of Knowledge" is out now! Geoff Williams Special user St. Pete Beach, FL 606 Posts Posted: Mar 13, 2002 12:18pm       Daryl's "Out Of This Hemisphere" is worthy of note. If I remember correctly, it uses far fewer cards than most of the other versions (which makes it move along quite nicely during performance). "Saját légpárnás tele van angolnák." (Hungarian for "My hovercraft is full of eels") Thomas Hudecsek Regular user 106 Posts Posted: Mar 21, 2002 3:37am       "Out of this hemisphere" uses 20 cards. I performed it often, but interestingly, I don't get the same strong reactions as when performing "impromptu out of this world" maybe it looks too technical or a little unnatural in my hands? Munskin Loyal user Blackpool, England 276 Posts Posted: Mar 21, 2002 9:21am       I most often perform Paul Harris' version. Although, I hear that Lennart Green's 'Out of this Green world', is also worthy of note.
