Hello Tom,
Although didn't receive your book yet, I don't need to read it to know that you come up with the most off-beat sleights I've encountered. Is there any creative process you like to fallow? How can a cardman design efficient sleights? Actually, this even another question: What's a good sleight? Lots of question, it's an honour >_< Regards, Feras |

Hi Fera,
For me, the creative process begins with a germ—a simple idea—and then it processes from there. When I am working on creating a new sleight I let my curiosity do the walking. That is to say, nothing is off limits. Generally, while working out a new sleight, I like to just fiddle—all the while letting my imagination flow. I hope that makes sense. There’s no special brew for creating a sleight—at least not for me. It’s nothing more than good old fashion sweat, trial and error. Re what is a good sleight? Obviously, a good sleight is one that can’t be perceived by the human eye. My preference is to create sleights that occur while performing a natural action, i.e., ribbon spreading a deck of cards on the table. |
