I learned the hard way to always take out the dupes ...I got burnt badly once. Of course I do ultimate fusion, so dupes are not needed. But you couldn't pay me to leave them in.

Interesting thread. Brings up a lot of audience management issues.
If it's practical, it's always a good idea to remove dupes - just in case one shows up at an inopportune moment in the routine. Either way, it's a good idea to clean up and remove the deck from play. All attention should now be on the impossible object in the spectator's hands anyway. Some time misdirection here would help. If Anniversary Waltz is not your closer, perhaps do a non-card effect before bringing out the deck again. But I also echo Max Fields' comment that the kid was pretty clever to know what to look for. Sign him up! Syd |

I have one question: as I was reading this thread I thought to myself that you can remove only one of the dupes, as the other is necessary for showing that both cards have come together in the deck toward the end of the routine. Then WillburUK made the same point, after which David French pointed out that in Doc Eason's latest version no dupes at all are needed. My AW is the Eason version which comes with 3 handlings, the last being Eason's less awkward version, an improvement over the first two, neither of which is Eason's. But it requires that one dupe remain in the deck. Is there yet another version in which Eason improves again on his original improvement? I've had mine for maybe 5 years. Has Doc revised the instruction booklet in the meantime? I can't see how you can "show" the 2 cards side by side toward the end without using a dupe. If the spectators see the 2 cards together, one of them has to be an unsigned dupe. -- If anyone cares to respond, would you please send a pm, as I may not be able to find this thread next time. If you feel it'd be wrong to reveal anything, I'd be happy to know where Doc's new version can be found. Is it just part of the AW you'd purchase now? Thanks much.

Just take the dupes out already. How easy is that. I do Docs latest version. If you can prevent a possible problem from happening, why not do it. I never let anyone handle the deck or any of my props unless it is part of the routine. Cheers! I love performing this.

In this case they weren’t handed out but it still moved attention from the couple and the moment to a bunch of cards and a kid.

I agree. Unless it is part of the routine, I never hand out props or tell volunteers to check them out.
Why run when nobody is chasing you. |

I love pepka's comment about using a blank deck with a double blank card. With it being an older comment (over 11 years old) I am sure it is more commonplace now than I am aware of. As he mentioned, this would certainly solve the problem of duplicates (since there is none to remove).
It also takes it away from being a "playing card" trick. Has anyone performed it this way as well as with a regular DF? Same or different reactions? |

I don’t think he instructed the boy to examine the cards.. You did well

One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.
