Mr. Mystoffelees Inner circle I haven't changed anyone's opinion in 3623 Posts	Posted: Oct 2, 2012 01:34 am 0 Tough to pick just one, buy my vote would go to Jumping Gemini. I never felt comfortable with the Gemini move, so I altered the ending to do it another way... Jim Also known, when doing rope magic, as "Cordini"

It never failed me and it gets great reactions. Would highly recommend it. You start with 4 cards: all fives. You tell the spectator that you will bring the packet behind you and turn over one card and they will try to guess which one it is. You do just that and bring the packet back into view and ask them which card it might be that was turned over. They tell you a suit of five and you count the cards to show one turned over (does not matter if the spectator is right or wrong). Then you repeat this process 3 more times showing one card turning over and the others turn back while showing the backs of the cards to be all blue. Finally, with one flick of a finger, all the cards turn face up at once. Then, you ask the spectator if they remember the color of the back of the cards and they say blue. And you turn the packet over to show that all the cards have different colored backs and blue is not among them. Great trick... Who is Shock Twist by? It sounds similar, actually exactly the same as one I learned from John Cornelius's video (the FISM one I think), except he did it with and ace, two three and four rather than four fives. It is a great trick! I couldn't find John Cornelius doing it online but here it is done by Michael Ammar - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj5DX3zJ5tw

My fave that I do and carry are 4 ace for daly, 8 card bwave which allows me to also have extra cards for dupes and diferent color backs, princess set which I use also for a cards across effect. Not sure if DB's strange travellers counts as a packet trick which I always carry for the right moment.

Demitri Loyal user 294 Posts	Posted: Jan 16, 2013 06:34 am 0 Double back - one of the greatest card transpositions you'll ever see, the transpo of the kings to the fives in plain sight is a thing of beauty. Capitulating queens - one of my all time favorites. It's awesome to see and hear the reactions each time a new color sows up. The color change near the end is also a great touch. Stand up monte - this effect simply devastates. The nature of the routine allows you to play it to one or half a dozen almost entirely in the hands, you can get so much entertainment of of this little beauty. Royal scam - cards turn face down, change colors change faces - and the best part is, everything is examinable at the end, normally I don't factor this in, it with royal scam, it's one of the few effects that almost always has at least one person going for the cards. It's just a great feeling to let them grab them!
J.Warrens Inner circle Canada 1098 Posts	Posted: Jan 20, 2013 08:33 am 0 My 3 favorites are: Paul Wilson's "Gypsy Monte" Nick Trost's "Trik Cards" John Bannon's "Duplicity" Just my 2 cents. Cheers.
Siekomagic New user South Africa 76 Posts	Posted: Jan 23, 2013 09:26 am 0 I have to agree with J.Warrens on John Bannon's "Duplicity" its just a killer effect !!

Mb217 Inner circle 9601 Posts	Posted: Feb 10, 2013 02:10 pm 0 While I always have greats like NFW, Double Back, Capitualing Queens and the Daley Trick on me, of late I keep playing with a nice one that's a bit off in the shadows it seems, Reflipped by Yannick Chretien. Just a wonderful little packet trick with some great moves to it, and done with regular cards. I like to present it the way Josh Jay re-did it, and if Josh Jay adds his thoughts to a thing, well, it's pretty much worth giving a whirl. So glad I did. Reflipped always plays well and is just plain fun to do. Yannick's original was nice but a bit too involved with all the turning and stuff. Josh, streamlined all that tremendously IMHO and now the effect just flows. I play with it all the time because of all the nice little moves to it, everything is in there.

daffydoug Eternal Order Look mom! I've got 14077 Posts	Posted: Feb 13, 2013 01:22 pm 0 Wow! What a dazzling multiplicity of packet effects we have mentioned in this thread! Has anybody mentioned Danny Archer's "Eye Exam?" A great effect that I love to perform, and in the end, a REAL (plastic) eyeball pops out of the cards and drops into their hand. (At least the way I do it) The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.
scenic effects New user Wisconsin - USA 78 Posts	Posted: Feb 15, 2013 03:58 am 0 I love "Eye Exam" too. It's easy, amazing, and you end clean! A great trick that I do quite often.
daffydoug Eternal Order Look mom! I've got 14077 Posts	Posted: Feb 15, 2013 10:54 am 0 Pretty cool, isn't it? Do you use the Paul Harris idea that is suggested in the instructions? Also, do you use the ending of having an "eyeball" pop into their hand? The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.
scenic effects New user Wisconsin - USA 78 Posts	Posted: Feb 16, 2013 02:07 am 0 I'll have to take a look at the instructions for the "Harris' idea - I do use the eyeball at the end and it gets a great reaction -
TheMag1cian Inner circle Ottawa, Ontario 1276 Posts	Posted: Feb 17, 2013 02:12 am 0 What an amazing thread! What I got from this thread is that if you're starting a manic episode of packet tricks that a nice aresenal would include (in no particular order). The last trick of Dr. Daley Print Color Monte Twisting Aces Wild Card NFW Or Double back Gypsy Curse B'Wave Done With Mirrors Royal Scam Jumping Gemini Duplicity Twisted Sisters just to name a few. Im definitely going to be looking in to "Eye Exam". Dropping an eyeball in to the spec's hand as a closer just sounds very fun and entertaining. I love that out of the box stuff! Jeff
