So I decided to take the Chapender Diminishing cards out for test drive... this is what happened.

Whilst I love my super diminishing card routine, I’m also never satisfied. So I decided to take my 70 year old Chapender diminishing Cards out for a test drive, and give them the life they were created for.

The method made the shrinking visual and powerful but I also worked on, and learned, a few more things. Including a killer gag. Luckily I filmed the whole thing and I’m including it here as an addendum to the original teach-in on the Chapender Diminishing Cards (previous to this teach-in)

I’ve also included the performance to refer to - as always it’s not for you to copy me - but to hopefully inspire you when you take your magic off the page and start trying to make it YOU.
