I like the split fan production because it is so natural yet so magical

I like the interlock productions because it is presented at a unique angle from many other productions, and it is truly impossible feeling because you are repeatedly showing both sides of the hands empty!
A backplam production is excellent but can really only occasionally be pivot/acquittaled because it does not look as natural as if you were showing the hand really empty. In the interlock production the acquittal happens naturally, every time! |

Although I like the interlocked card production, I think the standard backpalm production is stronger because 1) the cards can be produced either singly or in fans, and 2) reaching into the air to produce cards just looks more natural than interlocking your fingers to produce them.
That said, I admit to liking the interlocked production of billiard balls. I think Vernon mentions in one of the Inner Secrets books that the interlocked ball production (originated by Arnold de Biere) preceded and actually inspired the interlocked card production. In the interlocked ball routine that I do, four different colored balls are produced and accumulate in the hand so that at the end, all four balls are displayed--whereas in the interlocked card production, each card is dropped as it is produced. The fact that all four balls are kept in the hand makes it look that much more impossible. Also, the four balls are different colors, which adds to the display factor. Between the production of cards in fans and singly, I think that a card production saturation point has been reached, so the audience welcomes the production of some other kind of object, be it balls, coins, silks, or anything else. While on the topic of billiard balls, my original routine was to produce four red wooden balls the standard way and then vanishing them, ending with the last ball (the sh*ll) vanished via b*ckp*lm. Then one of the red balls would reappear, followed by the production of three different colored balls via the interlocked production. The novelty of the interlocked production plus the added effect of colored balls made for an effective ending to the ball routine. This pretty much had to be done with wooden balls because rubber or silicon balls just wouldn't work in cloth droppers. As I recall, Frank Radtke did develop a dropper for the silicon balls, but I don't think it ever really caught on. Before leaving the interlocked production discussion, I once saw a video of Cotton Sendax performing his version of the interlocked card production, which is also explained in the Vernon book. It was totally different from what we think of as the interlocked production. (Actually I think the video was tramsferred from a silent 8 or 16mm movie.) Kanter's Magic in Philadelphia (remember them?) once published a manuscript explaining I think three different interlocked card production techniques. The one we think of as _the_ interlocked card production was attributed to Channing Pollock. I did see Channing do the interlocked card production once on a Mike Douglas TV show back in the 60's. But it was not a part of his regular act. ----- Amado "Sonny" Narvaez

Is the retention pass the same thing as a retention vanish..i.e like Vernon's move?

The single handed Cardini colour change of a billiard ball is my favourite move. If done right it can be nearly angle proof and it leaves the other hand free for a steal or other sneaky work. In general it looks very,very magical, most of your audience will swear that the ball changed colour in mid air. I also like any change over palm done under the proper context like pulling up your sleeves or somehting like that. I'm not a fan of over done hand washing that is SO common with billiard workers.
