Daren, I hope this is what you were looking for.

Thanks I have purchased lint now and it is a great book, working on some of the routines already

btw there is a demo video of king on a fling on magicvideodepot that looks great!

Daren,

Glad you bought the book! It is probably THE most under-rated book of the last 20 years. Without a doubt, there is more workable material in LINT than in almost any other book I can think of - and I'm not saying that just because I'm associated with the product.

I would have kept the material to myself if I could, since I was doing 50% of it before the book ever appeared. My personal favorites are the Lie Detector, Devilish Trickery, Key to the Draw, Chromo-Balls, and Second Sight. That combination is a terrific set that serves me well anytime.

I have used a Charlie Miller idea for the conclusion of the Chromo-balls as the finale of the set. Instead of the vanish of the balls, they change to a lemon or whatever, ala the final load for any of the C&B or Chop Cup type routines. It really finishes things up nicely and leaves them with something to talk about. Not bad, since you only carry the balls, a deck, and can pick a final load wherever you are...

Best, PSC

I'm a huge fan of John Luka and LINT is an exceptional book. And anything recommended by Paul Chosse... well, suffice to say, the man knows more about magic than I'll be able to learn in multiple lifetimes!

I too really like lint, it has some great routines in the book, personal favs are lie detector, kings on a fling, second sight

Im a big fan of John's material, my favourite from L.I.N.T. is the Birthday Book routine.

My poor bank account . . .

I love the book, L.I.N.T. It taught me a lot. I would recommend the book.

Jonh Luka's next Motor City's Close-Up Convention is around the corner: http://www.johnlukamagic.com/convention.htm

I recently picked up a copy of LINT and I would recommend it. It think it's got a lot routines that you can really use.

If you liked L.I.N.T., you should get his second book, UNCOVERED

Van

Allready done Van.

Paul Choose has the best work that you will ever find on the Diagonal Palm Shift in L.I.N.T., simply killer. If you have ANY use for this sleight in your performances you absolutely need to obtain Paul's work on this tool. he makes a great tool even better.

The Lie Detector routine is killer as well and Kalush's Fidgeting Card routine, Kalush's handling is stunning.
