This was a part of both the Castle Lecture AND the C2P project and a major part of my Stand Up Card to Pocket routine. I use it ALL THE TIME :)

It can be a little risqué, so think carefully before using it, you will either really entertain, or totally offend.

You're on your own!

Edward Massey’s incredible one hand, multiple shrinking card is just a wonderful effect. Totally worth taking the time to make.

It’s great to sprinkle into your cards to pocket routine but I’m also going to detail a different routine using this fabulous card.

Truly hope you give this a shot.

Ok first, apologies for the sound issue on this video.

Second this is a fabulous routine (and you don’t need to do the accent!)

This routine combines the Massy Shrinking Card with The Grower, and by itself is a fabulous bit of visual magic to slide into your show. Please note the Grower card...

Taking Shrinky Dink to a whole new level... literally. My combination of shrinking cards, a card and then DECK to pocket, with a terrific clean repeat. This is a truly commercial routine I hope you make it all up and give it a try :)

For the finale of my first ever Cards To Pocket routine I really wanted a test condition diminishing card moment, THIS is what I came up with :)

The VSC not only works beautifully, but helps with the final card vanish AND re-appearance.

It actually accomplishes a number of things at the same t...

PULLING THE SHRINK - A double shrinking card but without SHRINKY DINK? Ok here's a cool way of doing that and it's beautifully visual :)

This is a cool combo of the Valentine Diminishing Card and Shrinky dink.

Because Shrinky Dink starts on the half sized card, the extra diminish can be super small which is super fun.

Also consider ending this by pulling the Grower from the upper right inside jacket pocket, as in the original ...

A direct offshoot of the VDC, this full card vanish is a lovely idea for the final card, very effective, and most useful if you don't want to mix a shrinking card into your C2P routine. Obviously there are many other useful applications to the steal and vanish, not just Cards To Pocket.

Sometimes angles may not be so good for the SLIVER ROUTINE. Sooooo I changed it a little, added an idea that goes all the back to Theodore Deland .

This makes the Sliver Vanish SO MUCH EASIER :)

Here I want to mention a three great routines worth checking out that we didn’t have room for on C2P.

This is an idea that’s perfect for Corporate shows. The best ideas are the simplest, and this is simple, BUT you have to imagine it in actual practice. You’ll see what a solid gold concept this is.

As a way to connect with people in the room, and do the cards to pocket WITHOUT CARDS - it’s reall...

#12 The PALM AND RECOVERY - V-STYLE.
So, this is my take on a once incredibly popular routine, that has, sadly, fallen by the wayside… as a lead in to a Cards To Pocket, or any card routine, it’s fabulous.

It’s ‘V-style’ as I’ve added a few extra beats that will blow the spectators away.

Incl...

This is probably the easiest, most visual, Cards to Pocket ever. Once you make the gimmick you never have to replace a thing. The routine builds beautifully and I’ve added a cool way in to the piece and a finish that makes sense .
Here you learn the history, the routine, my personal thoughts AND...

Here is a routine of mine that approaches CARDS TO POCKET from a purely VISUAL perspective, it's a relaxed and intimate routine, that has a very clear and clean plot line throughout.

No flap cards, no elastics, yet quite visually stunning.

I really loved the Ramsey 5 Card Fly routine (explaine...

This was one of my first attempts at an original C2P routine, I still love it, and watching it again makes me want to add this sequence back.

It makes a lot of sense on many levels:
it's fast,

only seven cards are used,

There are pure sleight of hand and almost self working versions,

the ...

You've seen the live performances in this giant collection . Now, I explain the handling of an early, and actually one of my favorite, routines :)

Grab a deck and follow along, this is gonna be a wild ride :)

and as far as the naughtier jokes go,

you're on your own,

use at your own risk.

...

Having the cards signed increases the impossibility of the effect, and allows for some cool additions that we will be getting into.

Here I take you through my process for getting the cards signed, how to make cool sig dupes and how it applies to my previous, # 16 VALENTINE 10 CARDS TO POCKET.

...

An old gag that we breathe new life into by actually giving a reason to exist! I've hidden this here as I really dont want anyone to use it, except you and me, of course :)

This is killer material... imagine following Cards To Pocket, with an INSTANT REPEAT.

Except the 10 cards shatter to many different pockets.

It's very visual, doable and powerful, also included here in my secret version where 10 SIGNED cards vanish and instantly appear in half a dozen differen...

some final words as you continue on your magical journey
