The cards are gaffed but can easily be switched out as you transition into your full deck routine. I use a different story when I use it as my opener. Three rapid visual changes quickly establish your magic cred. YEAHHHHHH! This one. - Erik Casey - Instagram https://www.instagram.com/erikcasey/ Email gmail@erikcasey.com Website www.erikcasey.com

The very first trick in the first routine, "T.N.T.", features the same set up (alternating red & black cards) it's a lovely little self working routine that leaves you set up perfectly for an OOTW effect. Might be worth a look if you fancy changing up the trick for variety while using the same setup.

Mr. Kuniyasu Fujiwara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-GlPQp3_oU Sorry, but I didn't like it at all… Too much dealing, too much turning packets over, too much of everything for such a simple and direct effect. Mark I agree. Too much so I starting losing interest in the routine as I watched it.

bdungey New user 64 Posts	Posted: Apr 11, 2019 09:19 pm 0 This might be a little meta for the thread but I'm interested to know regardless - when you're developing a routine, what goes into your consideration for an 'opener' to begin with?
baronborrelli New user South Jersey 46 Posts	Posted: Apr 12, 2019 07:22 pm 0 My thoughts on openers is that they need to be easy to follow, not a lot of talking and not too long. I would not choose a trick that depends on a little build up. A sucker effect can be decent as well, since the audience may not trust you yet. Also, not untying that requires audience participation/volunteer right away. For children I always opened with thumbtip silk ending with mouth coil. for older audience either or amzecups or cut and restored rope.
