This effect is 51 Fat Chances from John Bannon's book High Calibre.
I will put up some more effects from this book very soon (and all the other books I mentioned in another thread) I have changed the ending of this trick ever so slightly to how it is in the book, There is still a second chance pile and they do get turned over one by one but a little different to how I performed it. I am not for one second suggesting that my version is in any way better, it just suits me better. This book is amazing, not all the effects are self working but about half are semi automatic or really easy and the other half are not difficult,if I can do them, anyone can, honestly! Will put up full review soon along with more effects. Hope you like, any questions ask away! https://youtu.be/FYBhHinUvVE |

Hey Darren
Really enjoyed your performance. This could be a boring trick but you really brought it to life with your presentation and energy! Thought that you really maximised the potential of this trick. Great job!! Justin |

As Juble said, that was a great presentation. I'm glad I have this book or I would of had to get it.

Hi Darren
Just remembered that 51 fat chances is written up as if it is carried out in the spectators hand. Have you tried it like that or have you always done it in your hands? Cheers |

Because I use money in my Walkaround set (I offer them the chance to win £20) just to be on the safe side I do it in my hands, I work in a Casino and often my spectators have had a few drinks, but this is never a problem, everything is very fair and open.

Olly
Welcome & glad you became a member! You have already contributed some fine material and I'm sure many - like me appreciate the posting of your videos. I find the vids demonstrating some of the books offerings so valuable. Just wanted to thank you for putting yourself out there for us. I'm certainly guilty of never sharing anything of a performance. There are quite a few hobbyists and collectors/accumulators that frequent the Café so your posts give some nice insight on how to work a nice informal presentation (speaking for myself). Keep "em coming. CHRIS |

Great job Darren - lots of energy and a strong presentation.
For me, the trick itself was a perhaps a bit long/repetitive (perhaps if a few phases were trimmed..), but this is no reflection on you (as noted by Juble). With a crowd, is this ever a problem? If a performer with less personality/energy performed it, I could see people losing interest. just my opinion. Charlie |

Thanks for all the support, really appreciated! You guys (and girls) on here are a really nice friendly bunch!
I wish I had more time on my hands, I would love to post loads of reviews and videos but I need an extra day in the week to do everything I want to do!! (was thinking of going on Dragons Den and pitching this idea to them, an extra day, in between Wednesday and Thursday, called Thewsday)!!? Charlie, great question, no this has never been a problem, in fact I wouldn't normally do this one on one, with a group I get each one of them to have a go, I start with £5, then next spectator has a go, then £15 and so on, this keeps everyone involved and the increasing money keeps everyone interested. I think you do need lots of energy and enthusiasm otherwise it does have the potential to be a bit boring! Darren |

Here is a couple more effects from HIGH CALIBER by JOHN BANNON.
ION MAN, ok, not an earth shattering mystery, but a lovely lead in to a stronger mental piece, and, as always, Bannon has taken a really simple and old principle, worked his 'magic' on it and added a wicked ending that really fools people. (I have changed the ending ever so slightly from the original, but it's pretty much the same, if you need any more info please PM me) BOX JUMPER, love this, ok, it's not self working, but it's not difficult, and no duplicates, no gimmicks, can be a borrowed shuffled deck! Any questions, just ask!? Darren https://youtu.be/HnsKyLWKToo |

Olly, great job! I love Box Jumper! It's totally underrated because it's so simple. But it's a highly effective routine. The simplicity is what makes it so great!
