I learnt mine via my interpretation of what I thought Lennart Green was doing back in the early 1990's which is exactly the same as with Ben. The only tip I can offer is that you have to keep doing it again and again, I know that doesn't help loads but it's the truth. When I developed my shuffle the cards went all over the place, so I practiced day in day out over a chair where I could easily pick them up (which I had to do often). It also helps if the cards you are using are soft, ie they have been broken in a bit, this helps with not cramping the hands up. You can see my shuffle on my original 4 DVD set The Chapters of Marc Spelmann (Glimpse performance only) I don;t teach it but it is virtually the same as Ben's creation. You can also see me do it here on my updated release 'Glimpse 20/20' which is all about my peak card case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH9aV3PXE1E I actually do the shuffle twice.. Good thoughts MS
It's not goodbye, just see you later...

I've learnt that you need a surface to catch the splattering cards long ago, and it's comforting to know I'm not the only one Man, after the one-handed faro I haven't had to drop the cards so frequently. Tyler - I've PM'ed you abit more about some of what I (re-)discovered - it's verging on exposure otherwise. Sorry everyone else for bringing this off topic! |

On his website Jerry Sadowitz gives Ben a good kicking for stealing his name a card triumph idea. Naughty, naughty, very naughty.

I am loving this dvd set. One question though: I don't seem to have a navigation menu on Disk 1. On 2 and 3, I do. Is my disk defective? Eveything else about it seems fine.

Hey all I got disc 2 (gambling and table magic) a week or so ago. I really do love this dvd. I just wanted to say that I tried the effect called "Sow the Lug" tonight as a lead in to a favorite poker deal and it worked GREAT. The original reviewer didn't like it much, but I now love it. The "magic" happens "at their hand" and totally fools (including my family...and they see a lot of stuff)! Just curious as to whether anyone else uses this. It actually leads in perfectly with my favorite Hold Em deal...and that gets me excited...

Just curious... which effect from this set gave your audience the strongest reaction?

Benjamin Earl is a sleight-of-hand beast. I really enjoyed this DVD set. If you're interested, I just posted a video review of it on my blog: http://www.calebwilesmagic.com/?p=1242
Caleb By the way, the video review format is new for me. Let me know if you have any comments on how I could make them better. PM or email me at caleb@calebwiles.com

I recently purchased this and I love it so far, but... is it just my imagination or does he NOT explain how to do the 4D Discovery on disk 2. Easy enough to figure out (s*** **t), especially after watching him re-stack the cards during the performance, but, I would think would not necessary be obvious to a newer student of card magic. I'm assuming this was an oversight in the editing but has anyone else noticed this (or am *I* missing something?!?).
great dvd set though, absolutely fantastic from what I've seen so far. |
