Hi Pete.
I love the cards, even though Im just a bumbling amateur,do you have any card tricks that you keep polished to perform at a moments notice? Thanks Steve. |

That's a good question.
I have pretty much stopped learning new card tricks as I feel I have enough whenever I do close-up magic. I always keep a Queen of Spades rigged with the Koornwinder Kard Kontrol, and when I remember the Aces for MacDonald's Aces. I use Emile Clifton's laydown from his STARTLED version of that routine. The tricks in my standard repertoire are: Ambitious card, Peter Kane's BULLET, Vernon's Triumph or Slop Shuffle. Card on forehead. Grant's impromptu Out of This World. A variation of Whit Haydn's Chicago Surprise and card in wallet. If I'm really set for a more formal session, I have often opened with Don Alan's Big Deal and used the Koornwinder Kar. Packet trick wise I love Maven's BWAVE, Ron Bauer's version of GYPSY CURSE and one new one Dean Dill taught me, but I forget the name of it. It's a gaffed version of Dr.Daley's last trick.

Thanks for those answers,Pete.
The gaffed Dr Daley"s might be "Double Back" by John Allen. |

Yes, it is "Double Back" ... one of the best packet tricks I've ever seen. It's Dean Dill's favorite.

Hi Pete,
Do you ever perform Hop Along Pete anymore? I think I told you this before, but Pete atually survived being submerged in a floded basement. He still works. I had to buy another key from Magic Inc. I bought that trick in the late 70's. For those that don't who hop Along pete is, it's a mechanical wind up frog used in a card trick of Pete's.

I still have the frog, he sits on top of my computer monitor. I should revive the routine. Thanks for reminding me of it.
