mattk New user 28 Posts	Posted: Jul 31, 2002 04:54 pm 0 I have just recieved card warp. I can't wait to start performing it. Does anyone have an advice on the affect? Thank you for your time.

The deck immediately gets everyone's attention and explains why you don't mind destroying a couple of cards. BCIII The Polite Side of Magic Financial Exam Help 123 I took the Pledge
J R Thomas Regular user Champaign Illinois 138 Posts	Posted: Jul 31, 2002 05:52 pm 0 I usually talk about Star Trek and building a warp drive engine out of cards. The card enters a warp because it goes faster than the speed of light and ends up being warped or maybe I am just warped. Mike Close has a good take on the effect in the Worker's Series.

As such I use the patter "Would you like to see the greatest card trick of the 20th century?" (I believe this is a la Eugene Burger). I like Ortiz's card warp deck as well. Probably because it is fun to have an excuse to scarf up any odd decks I come across. "Garrett!! YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE DECKS OF CARDS!!!" "Honey, it is for my card warp deck..."
Chris A. Inner circle AKA Chris A. 1123 Posts	Posted: Jul 31, 2002 06:31 pm 0 I like using cervons "Warp II". It's fun to be able to see the card completely reversed withing the bill. If you want to go somwhere from there, you might want to try paul harris's impromptu screwed deck from his Art of astonishment books. It's like doing card warp but with the entire deck...

Howie Schwarzman's "Star Warp" (Apocalypse) is also very good . . . esp. for those who prefer shorter routines. Randy Wakeman randymagic@aol.com http://randywakemanmagic.com

It takes a special deck. As luck would have it . . ." Then I bring out a card box held together with packing tape. Inside is my Card Warp deck.

cyc New user Montreal 57 Posts	Posted: Aug 1, 2002 01:34 am 0 Hi, I remember watching a vid of garrettDN performing Don England's Card Warp. I really liked the effect, however, I can't find the video again, and was wondering which book teaches it? Thanks
Scott F. Guinn Inner circle "Great Scott!" aka "Palms of Putty" & "Poof Daddy G" 6586 Posts	Posted: Aug 1, 2002 01:37 am 0 Frank, The premise of the Card Warp deck is that it's all the old ratty cards left lying around the house that doesn't form a full, qulaity deck, so you use it for stuff where you only need a few cards and it's no biigie if you fold them, tear them, etc. Destroying cards is a foreign concept to laymen--they think it ruins the entire deck, and most folks keep a deck for years! Therfore, this premise lends a reason to your willingness to destry the cards. It in no way implies a "trick" deck.

Garrett Nelson Special user 644 Posts	Posted: Aug 1, 2002 04:04 am 0 Actually, in the video I believe you are referring to I used the version in Don's newest book "Don England's Paradox." Although TKO is definately a great book if you can find it. Cheers

And with such a deck you can perform the effect a dozen times without having to reset anything. And when you do "reset" it's simply replacing the twenty-or-so cards you've destroyed.

Shenaniganz New user Cypress, CA 100 Posts	Posted: Aug 1, 2002 03:11 pm 0 My patter is always changing for card warp. I go from a tear in the fabric of space and time to one of lifes greatest mysterys- how socks turn inside out and disapear in the dryer. No matter what I say the effect really speaks for itself.
kardini Regular user Brazil 141 Posts	Posted: Aug 27, 2002 03:14 am 0 "CARD WARP" and "THE CONTORTIONIST" Another BRILLIANT and little known variation of Roy Walton´s CARD WARP is "THE CONTORTIONIST" of Michael Giles. In this version the cards (ONLY TWO) initially are NOT folded... In this incredible effect the top of the one card not only INVERTS, but also it is broken up in visual ZIG-ZAG!!! INCREDIBLE! It look crazy! KARDINI Brazil website 2017 - http://www.kardini.com.br
CooKooByrd New user Pittsburgh, PA 4 Posts	Posted: Aug 27, 2002 04:08 am 0 Here is a little more information on "THE CONTORTIONIST" of Michael Giles http://www.magicfact.com/catalog11/contents/pages/p190.html
