I am a magician of course, and I play guitar. I have a collection of different guitar picks. I was wondering if anyone knows any tricks with guitar picks. Maybe in place of coins. Picks are lighter ,ore colorful and fun to use. Maybe matrix?

Funny, I was just messing around with picks. Mine are for mandolin. They are super easy to palm. They are smaller than I like for most things, but they might be an easy thing to use with a tenkai pinch.

Sorry, what is a tenkai pinch is it like a tenkai palm?

Bet you don't have one of these? You'd have to have some big hands to do a matrix with theses....

Wow...I am buying one! lol

No. The tenkai pinch is also called the goshman pinch because he popularized it. I won't expose it here, but perhaps you know it by this name.

Oh, ok yeah I recognize it now, thanks!

I think there may be an effect in the Magic Menu series with guitar picks - earlier ones.

The coin trick Spellbound would work nice with guitar picks.

Guitar Picks Across!

Guitar Pick through Hand.

Try to do a coin roll with a pick. Might be to light but it would look cool.

You could make a gimmicked pick and do Karate Pick instead of Karate Coin!

Do a Pick Flurry instead of Coin Flurry.

Many of the coin sleights and vanishes would definitely work.

Have fun,

I used to do one from one of the early years, year one or two, call "Pick-A-Card". From what I remember, the pick disappeared and reappeared on top of the selected card, in the deck.

I stick exclusively with Herco thumb picks, but the truth is, as of yet, I haven't thought of any effects with them. Not sure if the public can relate to them.

Maybe I'll think of an effect to perform with my capo..

You could do 3 Fly with picks...Call it "Air Guitar"...wink

LOL!!!

You can actually buy a customized pic with your name information on it. Just hand them the pic and while you riffle the deck they can run the pic down as you force a card...your patter could be OK this is the card you "picked".....

Yeah, I like that. Gives a new meaning to "Playing Cards".

Yeah, I like that. Gives a new meaning to "Playing Cards".

You can then follow up with a 4 bar shuffle!

Lol

I'm not sure how m any of you know, but if you light fender(only works with fender I think) on fire, it burns really bright, and pretty fast. The cool thing is is that is basically burns into nothingmore than a few specs of dust. My small Christian private school has a lot of guitarist, ( I am one also) and I use a burning pick to to light my dove pan. Its pretty cool. m not sure this is what you were thinking about using

I use medium wieght picks will that work? Are they wooden picks? Sounds fun!

I finger pick....will it hurt?
