Jon,
What is your favorite original effect? If you came up with something stronger than Double Back (awesome), I want to be the first to know......

Hi Joseph,

I don't have one particular favourite effect of mine. I like several for different reasons:

Double Back because of the routining and the magical impact it has on people.

The Destination Box because I think it overcomes some of the "problems" with C2B and produces a real piece of theatre.

How Much because I came up with a use for the Elmsley Count I had never seen before.

The Infinity Deck because it was my first major idea and helped me fool a whoel bunch of magicians!

I also like my No Count False Count for my Professor's Nightmare routine. I like sneaky moves over hardcore sleights and this is *very* sneaky!

I am currently working on something that I am more excited about than I was about Double Back. The reason being that the routine is totally new. I have shown a few people over here and the response has been very favourable indeed. I can't say too much about it right now but it should be out and about later in the year.

Hi Jon
Is the new routine that special something you performed for us at the Third Monday Magic session in Philadelphia last year? I can't wait for that one!
Alton
p.s. DB rocks!

Hi Alton,

Always nice to hear from you! That Third Monday Magic session as a lot of fun. You guys are so lucky to have eachother to brainstorm with. I had so much fun with you guys. I hope I have the chance to come back again.

The routine I think you mean was the Card at Any Number. It has been put on the shelf for a little while as I am concentrating my efforts on the other effect. However, it is something that I do intend to bring out some time in the near future. I'll have to get Murphy's on the case!

Hello Jon,
I just want to know if your upcoming product is a copper silver transpo with an incredible clean one-handed change ?
I ask you this question because Sebastien Clergue has a wonderful copper-silver transpo and he told me that you are the creator of the effect and that you will release it one day.
This is the most awesome change I have never seen and I have no idea how it's done !

Camille,

While it would be nicve to take credit for creating the copper/silver transpo effect, alas, it was not me. I have been working on a routine and the change I am looking to employ wouldn't fool magicians but for the laymen it looks really magical.

I can't say too much about my new effect just yet. What I will say is that the whole routine is done silently.
