A sandwich effect from Alex P. This one, from the demo, has no odd moves, or multiple passes.

Looks very good !
Not clear if it uses gaff, I guess it does because it looks too perfect ;-) |

No odd moves because they handily cut them out of the promo video. If you REALLY can do what that video shows, exactly as the video shows it, I will happily donate $50 to the charity of your choice.
In the mainstream world, this sort of advertising would be illegal. Magi seem to lap it up though. |

The video I watched cut all the time. Do you have a link to a straight performance?

Is it really as clean as it looks in the trailer?

Hey guys! The intro of the trailer shows some cuts and things, and then in the latter part it does show a complete, live, uncut performance.
I don't know who gets to choose the charity for the $50 - but I recommend the Hocus Pocus Project, an initiative of the Conjuring Arts Research Center. 
Yes, it is as clean as it looks. Alex has been closing his lectures lately with this as a performance-only piece and has been getting a ton of requests to tip it! There is a gimmick involved. Alex teaches you everything you need to know, and it is VERY easy to construct the gimmick. Time to make it should be all of 1-2 minutes, and then it can be used many, many times. I've been performing this for a few months now, and it goes over extremely well in performance - people simply can't comprehend how it happens. Kevin

As usual - with your original post - you're not only annoying but wrong as well. Maybe you don't understand the word 'cut'. It means when the editor stops showing the clip of the trick and inserts something else. Quote:

I know. As I’ve just bought it, downloaded it and am watching it. Cool. Post a video of you doing it with no cuts then. Prove me wrong. Should be easy for a talent like you, no? Quote:
And it’s very, very good. Well, it looks very, very bad to me. But each to his own. Glad you're pleased with your purchase. Quote:

To clear up any confusion - the uncut performance in the trailer begins at about 0:54
Prior to that there are cuts, but then you get an uncut performance.

Personally I think its a great effect.
dirty deck so what, ive been performing for 12 years and jump between dirty and clean decks all the time so its not a problem, infact any confident performer should be able to jump between decks without a thought. Spectator doesn't know what a dirty deck is? and as a closing effect its a stunner. Great stuff Alex as always best R |

And to be fair...it's hardly a 'filthy dirty' deck.
SociallyAwkwardPenguin, an awful lot of magic involves something called Clean Up, which is a practice known to 'anyone with any experience in magic". Perhaps if one is scared of this, they shouldn't be doing magic in the first place. Also...I have to say I found it quite funny that you needed it explained to you to watch a trailer from beginning to end to see what was on offer. Poor SAP. Chip |

When I work, I only use one deck. Hence The Laughing Mule is much better for me. Diff'rent strokes and all that. I am pleased I amused you by being bored with the trailer. I am equally amused that a) you sat through it all and b) spent 25 bucks on it. I guess some people like buying over priced one trick DVDs/Downloads designed to fool magicians, and some people like buying books and studying effects to fool a paying audience. Both perfectly valid, in their own way. But, nonetheless, I really hope you enjoy performing it. |

It is very hard for me to call you anything else mate, seeing as you have it as your screen name. So it's hardly name calling.
I'm sorry you find me childish. I'm simply treating you with the disdain you deserve based on your unproven statements on others products and failure to just admit you're wrong. Rather than be a man and fess up to making a stupid statement and then move on....well, you acted as normal. |

Just a heads-up, SAP, but your old posts don't disappear from the thread. So you should pick a consistent angle or else you make yourself look ridiculous.
At first there was no way it could be that clean, "If you REALLY can do what that video shows, exactly as the video shows it, I will happily donate $50 to the charity of your choice." Then, after you watched the full demo it became "so obvious." I'm curious how something so impossible (that the trailer must have been cut to disguise the moves) became so obvious given that full demo doesn't have any moves to see? It's almost like you came in with a negative perception of the trick and are committed to holding on to it no matter what. Also, Roy Walton's trick is called the Smiling Mule. |
