Performer removes the card, but can easily hand out *the* card to the specs.... with the tape still on it.
I *think* the gimmick can be made - but probably not by someone without experience creating card gimmicks. Wait - did I say there was a gimmick? Crap. D |

Well I still can't wait to get it and try it out.
The first layman that figures out how its done on me, and I'll work to have ritty pronounced king of all things magic. But I don't think the crown is in any danger. Talk, talk, talk..... V.

When you are about to do the big change on the other side of the glass, is that a single card hanging there or a double? I can see it working both ways, but the single card would be the better idea as there is nothing to cleanup really.

Well - hard to answer.
There's one card, but there's still an easy cleanup needed. And no, there's no card on the floor or anything like that. Dave |

This quote is similar to all the quotes on youtube. Sad and jealous.
David Stone's performances on the demo are fantastic. Artistic style at it's best. James Quote: On 2009-07-02 19:44, ritty360 wrote:

Placed my order.
This is such a wonderful idea and so practical and I'm sure the gimmick is made well enough to not be noticable. Can't wait to get my hands on this and hope I can make more gimmicks myself, as I perform in local pubs a lot and would like other card selections possible and to replace gimmick if and when it gets worn out. This is clever! Steve |

There is the danger that SCOTCH TAPE may rip the backing on the card and this card cost too much to risk that. I suggest going to Walmart and buying some of the purple masking tape used to place on wall paper when painting borders. This tape will hold the card to the glass, yet pull off without doing any damage to the back of the card.

Hey Guys.
Jean-luc Bertrand jumped in at E today. Thought I would bring you his post answering some questions... "First of all.... MERCI ! Guys you made worth of those efforts. David, Mickael and I knew we had something solid to work with, but after reading all you comments, and the passion that is circling around WiNDOW, make us feel so much better now. It was a tough decision not to tease you with it and just launch out of the blue. But the great team working of Ellusionist, we decided to release WiNDOW as strong as trick, with a differnce, with a minimum impact. So now we know the feeling we had was the right thing to follow. Now, sorry I didn't get back to this Q&A sooner, but as you can imagine, a big release like that requires a lot of work, and Europe is going over this effect, so there was a lot to do, things to take care of to make people would be satisfied. Also I had a gig away from paris and that was a big mistake... Never accept a show two days after a big release... So I'll try to answer a brief and efficient as possible, and if you have any question, don't hesitate to contact me, I'll be happy to help. > Can this only be done with the same set of TWO cards....is it possible to > change it up? Actually we only use J/Q/K and 2/3/4/5 on the opposite, once you have the gimmick, you're stuck with it. But it doesn't really matter, does it ? > Can the gimmick be made at home also once you know how it works (like if our > gimmick breaks)....or is this one that will last forever. Or will there be > refills? Good luck... We have had 3 set of manufacturers, Mickael's work is so precise that you have to be the genius he is to understand. And even our teams struggled throught 200/300 gimmick each to find the right balance, the right details to make each gimmick a long lasting apparatus. Of course they won't be set for life, it's just paper after all but they will last enough. But like IT, it only breaks if you break it. So make sure to take good care of your gimmick, it will last even longer. Mine as been with me for the last 3 months. Finally, David, Mickael and I are magicians, we have been like you buying stuff in the past. Like you we have been VERY unsatisfied with some products. The line of product we developped with my company CLOSE UP MAGIC, are aimed to satisfied the larger crowd. We want people to be happy and know they can trust our productions. From STONE VOL1 to NO SMOKING we made the film or trick we would want to own. So we do our best for that purpose. > How long will the gimmick last? Read the longer paragraph before ! > Does this work on ANY window? (train, plane, bus, Airshuttle..) Yes... Not on planes thought, My favorite location is to do it behind closed shop window... Meaning, if I know I'll be in this aera with clients after my dinner, I'll go to the pharmacy next door (we have a lot of pharmacies in France) and I'll do my best to place the gimmick before they close... Go for dinner, have fun but don't do magic. On my way out, at some point I have them tell me "you're right, you haven't done any magic.... You can't possibly leave us with out a trick"... "alrigth choose a card..." I'll be doing the most regular effect until I find the right timing between boring them and tossing the deck in their back and when the turn around to the sound of the cards heating a window behind them, they see a card. "wow, that's amazing, how did you do that... Too bad it's not my card, but it's still amazing" .... " what do you mean it's not your card ?"... "Hang on..." I do the move, they freak in silence... "oh here's my cab... By guys let's talk next week!" and I leave them on the pavement, in front of the pharmacy's window. > Can this be done on a glass Coffee table?? (horizontal?) No > Can the spectator go around and remove the card? Is it safe? No... But you need to control your crowd. It's like leaving a double on a table next to the spectator's hand. If you're confident enough they wouldn't dare touching it. > Can I use a spectators hand to change the cards? no > Whats the square root of Pi? If I knew I wouldn't be a professional magician... > Can the card or cards be signed? No > Once you are done with the effect, can the card be left on the window? no > What kind of cards (card backs) can be used with this effect? Red/Blue. Is > is limited to the gimmick? It doesn't matter, you never see the back. > Are the cards forced in anyway? Are you sure ? > Is the effect clean after the effect? HOW Clean?? Very... You hand them the card. But of course there's a switch. You can see it at the end of this. And here is one question no one asked but we are glad to answer. A lot of people are sceptical regarding the use of camera editing of trickery... Once again, we have been magicians buying in the past, and we still do. There is nothing more than I HATE but being fooled by the film, the teaser and getting crap. There is a constant pattern with all the products I made, I have always wanted to play ball. Basically if you like the trailer, you'll like the production. From the packaging to the disc, to the tricks, to the film or music... It's all absolutely coherent. It's one feeling, one tone, on atmosphere and we stick to it till the end. Wether you like it or not, we did 100% of what we could with each production, and trust me it's a long process. In other words, we never do shiny outside and dusty inside. But with WiNDOW, it's different... It might be shiny outside but inside... all I can say is that what you see is what you'll do. That was our objective with David when we started developping WiNDOW, our goal was to make a cool video and to be as honest as possible because the effect mickael created deserved that. No need to over proove it does it by itself. And the best part of all... You'll love doing it. You'll fool yourself doing it because it's pure magic. From a magician stand point it's feel like magic is happening. I undestood that one night when we had a little dinner at home. Some magicians friends were there... We showed them the clip, they freaked out... They asked to see the gimmick. They played like kids, and screamed like if it was christmas each time they waving their hand over the card. At that time we understood WiNDOW would have those reactions. Now we can't wait to see and read your reactions. All the best to you guys, Jean-luc Bertrand One more thing... The music was composed like in every production we carry. This guy is a genius, I've always placed a lot of importance into the music of our films... I met a genius four years ago. If you ever need something to done for your acts or you films... http://www.REKSIDER.com"
I've been training these cards since they were small.

This is one of the better dialogues I have seen regarding any effect. It certainly helps me make a decision (yes I want it), yet everything was covered in discussion here. It really was magicians helping magicians! Thanks
