Reminds of me One-Car Garage by Jay Sankey except with a case and then rubbing away the lines. I love animated tricks that freeze in time and then can be examined, I also love Cardiographic, Business Card Cardiograph, Cartoon 1 and 2, and several others. Might have to get this one also.

Ordered it from Penguin and awaiting its arrival. In the meantime, was able to watch the 'Learn' video, and all I can say is Roddy is a freakin GENIUS!! Can't wait to play with this.

If anyone wants to know my sure fire loading technique which although not necessary for some makes it 100% and has no negatives at all to the effect then feel free to pm me as I have shared it with over 50 people on the Café and the majority ( not all ) use it . You can also start with the gimmick loaded at the beginning and the necessary already done and bring the box into play face down . Then tell the story and turn over the box and introduce the secret door do the reveal and clean up as normal and it still goes well . I personally prefer the load but as I never like making a mistake if I can help it I prefer my loading technique which isn't rocket science by the way but is fail safe . Best wishes Tarik 😊

I use Tarik's load as well. It really helps make easier what's already easy. It's a good idea.

With respect Darko that is turning it into a card force and trick and the whole premise ( ask Roddy if you don't believe me ) is to tell a story about something really cool a friend once showed you . You have done the absolute opposite with this and planting the whole pack on the deck ? No motivation for that at all . Sorry but adds nothing imo and negates the whole purpose , quirkiness and beauty of Roddys brilliant thinking not for me sorry and I bet 90% of others who own this on here will agree with me let's see as you seem to have missed the whole point of this effect imho Tarik 😊

This is an incident. You can show the routine as in the original, this is only about "loading handling". I just wanted to show it goes without Tarik (loading) gimmick and indeed very easy. I know what I'm doing and what I'm talking about. If someone is interested in my "loading handling", please PM. Darko |

Yours doesn't need explaining at you are not loading at all you are just placing the cards on top of the deck and lifting straight off and putting in the box the whole point is it is supposed to look like the cards don't go near the box they just incidently pass by the box as they are being put away so what they see creates the perfect retention of vision you are completely missing the whole idea here 😊

I like Tarik's modification and I also think Darko's handling is very good too. I thank them both for being generous and sharing it with Café members.
Nice to have options. Use whichever method you prefer. AFA Darko's routine involving forcing a card, etc. I sometimes do it in a similar way myself but I don't actually have a spec pick a card, I still use Roddy's storyline and explain how I experienced it when it was shown to me. So I'm basically forcing myself a card.  Pretty much how Roddy does it IIRC, but I sometimes make the card appear to be selected a bit more haphazardly is all.

Yes videoman that works because you are basically taking the force card out of somewhere else in the spread and saying something like in this instance we will use this one etc . That's different than turning it into a card trick with arguable the weakest force there is and completeky covering the drawing for no reason . Maybe I am wrong but the whole idea is the storyline it's not another card trick it's engaging it's visual and ultimately very surprising with a strong kicker . It's nice for Darko to shsre but it's a massive step backwards in my book 😊

Here's a couple of ideas to share...I begin with the gaff attached to the box and remove the cards with a wrist kill action. Now I can perform any trick that has a stacked deck such as "Spell-O-Matic" (which incidentally is fantastic as well). Following this opening effect, it's a simple matter of adding the gaff during the action of retrieving the marker from my pocket to get into the routine proper. BUT my little door matching card is also pencil dotted. This allows me to take a supposedly "random" card from a face down spread and move it to the bottom. To add motivation to the kissing action (or placement) of the cards on top of the box momentarily, I pry open the two little cardboard tabs inside the card box. The reasoning is that this will facilitate placing the cards into the box. The cleanup is the same as per Roddy's instructions. I echo the same enthusiasm as the other Café members...This is definately one of the best releases of 2016!

Thanks again for the continued support folks. I am truly humbled.
There have been so many fantastic effects released in 2016 so I'm honoured that Little Door is in the running for Trick of the year. If you haven't voted in the thread and Little Door is in your top 3 then I'd very much appreciate your nomination. Many thanks to those who have already voted for Little Door. It really does mean a lot to me x |

I ordered this from Penguin a week ago and it was supposed to ship on the 2nd of January but apparently they are not sure when it will ship. I assume production is taking longer than they expected?

Anyone know when this will be back out?
I also ordered from Penguin on Dec. 29 and it was supposed to ship on Jan. 2. I had to cancel my order because I did not sign up for a pre-order, which this turned into. I know it is no fault of the Penguin. I will reorder it when it is in stock. Thanks for any new info. ACE
