CARD STABS - STABBING BETWEEN THE CARDS - FULL PRO TEACH IN - 10 VIDEOS
When I first started Magic On The Go, I had some issues with the sound, sometimes recording on only one channel. This playlist was hit hard!
So I have remastered the sound and updated the playlist to maximise your enjoyment! YAY!!
This is a teach-in you really need to study, almost everything is self working (method wise - not presentation wise of course :) ) multiple methods are explained, gaffed and impromptu (some original - some tweaked ) all leading up to my humbly entitled Perfect Ultimate Card Stab.
The Card Stab is a brilliant effect used by Leipzig, Rosini and other legends in stand up and close up.
The effect?
Generally one or two cards are chosen and shuffled back in the deck and the deck is stabbed with a knife, the deck is split in two revealing the magi has somehow stabbed BETWEEN the two chosen cards.
Sometimes you actually stab through the cards, sometimes the deck is wrapped in something, sometimes not... but it's always a miracle.
Here, within this awesome playlist are the results of my obsession with this plot.
Not only have I researched and collected the greatest methods, and not only am I'm proud to say that I've created some original methods of my own, each designed to fix an inherent problem with the trick, BUT I have also focused on analyzing WHY this trick works and HOW to present it to a real world audience for maximum effect.
Everything is here, nothing is held back - Oh and as always this is a growing list
More to come!
See you on the inside

9 - IMPOSSIBLE - THE MIRACLE LOCATIONS
