Thanks! I only have a little, so I try to distribute it in little chunks from time to time.

Bill et al,
I say Bill first because he knows everything but I'm happy for input from anyone on this. Okay, since we're discussing hot rods. Have any of you guys ever come up with a convincing force. I mean really the standard, 1,5,and 6 forces are as transparent as the older Kerry daughters dress as the Cannes film fest. I've been going through my junk drawer and playing with things that I like the idea of, but can't figure out how to work through some of the silliness in presentation. I like the hot rod (for some reason), but don't generally use it because the force is, frankly, idiotic. I'm pretty sure there's something obvious staring me in the face but the hell if I can see it. Thanks for your help, Mark

While not always applicable I sometimes use eye, clothes, car, or other blatantly visible color to make the force. " Do any of these match your ----? Oh, here we go! We'll use this one." you can then rub the color off onto the rod. Or the numerical/ spelling force, but I think this might fall into the ridiculous catagory. I need the numbers for the way I do the routine. I've also seen a guy use a previously chosen card value to force the color. Just some suggestions from a fan of the Hot Rod.

One really important point when doing things that use a paddle move is not to overdo it. I have seen people who have a flawless paddle move ruin a routine by showing both sides of everything too many times. The thing is not a fan. It's a paddle, or a stick, or a knife.
The most convincing color changing knife routine I saw early on was done by a total amateur. But he was an amateur with an innate understanding for that trick. He only did a couple of tricks, but he did them very well.

I see Joe Porper has some paddle sticks with a lot of bells and whistles. One even had a shell that was removed to end clean. I think it was the kind that you put a toothpick in. Anyone use these in the real world? I am curious if they are more baffling to the spectator, or if they reek more of gimmickery.
God Bless, Lauren |

I don't think they "reek of gimmickry" as they are so cleanly made. Joe fooled me with most of them... badly...

I have a decent force that I sometimes use. I ask them to choose a number. If they choose 3 or 4 then I'm golden, I just do the routine. Most times that's what they choose. If they choose, say, six - I flip the paddle six times and on the sixth it's all ...ummm... RED.
Then I put the thing away quick. |

All of Joe Porper's paddles are very well made. Some of them appeal to me more than others. I really like his Jumping Peg paddle -- not the jumping peg stick, but the paddle. The stick is fine -- don't get me wrong, but the paddle is considerably different. I have an earlier version of it that he made of wood, which is also way cool.
His cash paddle is pretty much standard but it is very high quality.

Another thing I've noticed is you don't have to make the turn-over move with any movement in the arm. I tend to just flick my wrist and make the area which I turn-over the paddle quite small.
I also go from side-to-side instead of holding it down and then up. This to me seems more natural and realistic. Olly |
