Salem's Lottery

If you'll look waaaaaaaa-aaaaay back here, you'll find me referencing a little effect entitled, "Animentalism" (created by a gentleman from Singapore named Tan Choon Tee) that was published in The Linking Ring quite some years back.

That effect sparked an idea in my head pertaining to the Salem Witch trials........and using (potentially) the names of women from that century.

Well.......after MUCH workshopping of this effect......it's really coming to fruition: it'll be called, "Salem's Lottery" and will be produced/released by my little company I'm starting. I've got a massive pile of little wooden tiles all cut up real proper-like.....check back here for more later!

...and on a sour note.

....I'd referenced Bro. John Hamman's packet trick, "Hamman Eggs" here a few months back. I sent that packet trick into the ether at Ring 266's Chinese Auction (fundraiser) a few months back as it's just too darned complex!! If you become exhausting just watching a packet trick.....imagine learning to perform it! ......anyone disagree??

The ole' Top Change

Y'know....heaven knows there's enough bragging that goes on all over the internet........but if you can indulge me for a moment: I've been killing lately with the old Top Change.......it's amazing the things that people do/do not "perceive" while you're performing. The other day, I picked up the card (after the revelation.....received well)..........did a quick top c---ge, revealed that....and the guy goes, "I don't understand! You never picked up the card!!" I'd done EXACTLY THAT 3 seconds earlier......in plain site! He was watching my hands while I did it!!!

That was a fun (brief) performance!

DiaMonte

You know...I know this is redundant but Diamond Jim Tyler's "DiaMonte" is one truly sweet effect/DVD.....I mean that!! Such a professionally produced video......nice stuff.....I'm am LEARNING THAT EFFECT!!
