A Card Trick

The theme for this months Magic Bunny competition was Playings Cards. Although my favourite effect is effectively a card trick, I am terrible at handling cards. I learnt a few card tricks years ago but never really persevered past the Royal Road To Card Magic and Michael Ammars Easy To Master Card Magic.

In an attempt to push myself I tried to learn a thought of card to pocket routine in a month. I tried it on a couple of unsuspecting onlookers and it flew by and got decent reactions. When filmed however the cracks began to show. Video cameras are really unfogiven and i fumbled my way through a few times before abandoning for something a little different.

So here is this months effect. Thanks again to my lovely assistant

I fluffed a few lines and ummed and ahh'd my way through this. I find performing in front of even  close friends stressful I do wonder if tightly scripting is the way to go?

Hopefully next week we will move away from cards slightly. Next post may be a Tarot reading if anyone wants a reading doing please comment and I will post one up or even by email if you prefer.
