Hi!
An idea has been simmering in the back of my head some weeks now.. The effect: The spectator choose a card from deck A (blue back). Signs it and the card is lost in the deck. Another spectator chooses a card from deck B (red back) and signs the back. The card is lost in the deck. You tell both the spectators to shuffle the decks and find their card. None can. A card appears, folded of course, at a weird place (whatever place this might be..) Both have signed the same card.. Most of you can figure out how this is accomplished. But my question is; is this new or does this have a name? |

I've already developed a routine on this concept, hanging the routine on a different presentation than what you're describing. I'm not sure of any printed routines, but then again I'm not one of those with a huge library and can reference every trick and type of trick in existance. I think the way I'm handling this concept is unique and hasn't been done in quite this way before. I've already tested it on a number of audiences and it kills. I would give you more details, but this is one I'm going to hang on to for a little longer before I start telling others. If you want some advice as to how to proceed I could give you a few pointers, the way you describe the effect you're combining a fusion effect with a card to impossible location, and I think that's kind of a no no. There's way too much for them to grasp all at once that there will be less clarity of effect for the spectators. Either do a fusion effect or a card to impossible location, but to do both at the same time would be very difficult to present in a way that the audience appreciates the full effect. Believe me, I've done this for quite a lot of people and they have enough difficulty absorbing the fusion aspect of the trick. If you could separate the effects however, and reveal the fusion before going into an impossible location then it will hit them with a one two punch and there will be more clarity in the effect.

You are bringing up an excellent point..
I did slop shuffle -> triu*** -> out of this w**** for a friend the other day but he actually said that it was too much to take in and asked me if I could do card-toon 2 one more time.. One really have to be careful not to overcomplicate a trick. I find this to be the situation often when I do the ambitious card routine.. I tend to trim it down from five "segments" to two or three.. Thank you for your input!! Please feel free to pm me about your method when you're ready:) |

Richard Turner has a nice double-signed card routine. He's been doing it for quite a while now. Here he is performing it.

Fantastic routine but way to complicated for me to be even remotely inspired!

I actually have two separate fusion type effects where the spetators signature from the back of one card jumps to the back of a second selection that was signed on the face. Both are very different in handling and presentation. I'm currently trying to find out how to submit the tricks to Genie or another prominent magic magazine. If anyone knows who to go through that would be appreciated, as I have yet to recieve any replies from the magazines I've approached so far. I know I'm an unkown in magic (though I have a small amount of notorietly in the juggling world) and that may be a part of it, but both of these routines are top notch real world workers and I'd like to get them published.

Thanks for the advice, now I just need to do a thorough write up of the effects. I also have a friend who does photography so I can get photos done instead of illustrations.
