Hey all,
THis post is in referance to a DVD that I had produced with (8) original card effects (or my take on classics) and my advice on verious topics such as; how to turn a close up card effect into a stage effect, table hopping, bar work...walk around vs behind the bar..and more. My idea is to give this away for free. Not that I don't think my material is not worth selling or having value, but I beleive that sharring with a community is currently worth more to me then any gain in money. So, with that said...If there seems to be an interest then shoot me a PM and I will start plugging away as I get the time to ship. BIlly p.s. this is REAL working stuff that does require sleight of hand but can be done in virtually any venue. |

A quick note for everyone that has inquired about the content of the dvd.
1- 3 card to pocket that involves 3 signed cards jumping from hands to pocket with a kicker/backfire ending. Inspired by matrix backfire type plots. 2- My version of doc jacob dailys last effect with face up ending. 3- My opener (2 card transpo, with gag) 4- My version of of the Biddle trick that is layered with subetly and can be (and has been many times) performed on stage. 5- Multiple selection that builds (as all good ones should) to a great climax. 6- Ambitious card with kicker card to wallet plot. I belive there is some really clever structure to this routine. 7- My In the hands invisable "palm" plot- inspired by original on the table versions but adapted to be done in the hands. 8- A simple, but unique, sandwich effect that has always played very well for me. that's the content in a nutshell, I hope that answers all the questions.

Sounds pretty nice, Billy! And releasing it for free is such a generous thing to do, although you could think about doing some charity stuff. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck with everything!
Best, Mike |

Err, why not, say, have a digital version? I'd rather get a download link from droptbox, amazon S3 or bittorrent than give my address to someone I don't really know (plus shipping isn't free for you either...).
I'd be interested in seeing your material (even just the performances, actually, it's always entertaining and challenging), but I'm reluctant to give personnal information... P! |

Great idea ! I think it works best with private "vimeo " link and pm'ed password.

Ado,
I think that is the way I am going to end up going. I didn't think there would be so much interest (but Im happy there is) so I going to look into the logistics of doing a download and will keep everyone posted. Thanks again (to everyone) and I will speak with some IT buddies to figure this out. Billy |

The problem with Vimeo is their free account limits how many megs you can upload each week.
Unlisted You tube videos might be the more viable option of the two. |

Hey Guys,
Been a busy season for me and picking up a bit faster, was hoping to have a slow week or two. I am checking with some IT type guys about getting the DVD as a stream and/or download so I don't have to ship a bunch of them (a bit suprised at the amount of interest), so when I get back home and settle in I will let everyone know.
