Hello people of the interwebs its Steven back again with yet another blog post. This post is going to be 100% aimed at magicians so apologies in advance to my non magician readers.
Today's trick is from a book that I recommend everyone picks up and it also comes from one of my favourite magicians David Williamson.
Today's trick is from a DVD called "Scratch" by Chad Long.
I performed the very first trick on the DVD which is called "Chicago Scratch".The trick was really easy to learn and enjoyable to watch chad perform. Chad is an excellent teacher.
I performed this trick as taught on the DVD to a few people first was a random guy I met in a bar, he really liked it, second was to one of my friends and she said "I had no idea that card had been changed" and lastly I showed this to another friend and he did the "raise an eyebrow" reaction. Which basically means that's awesome but I'm not showing you it is.
I performed this as a opener and a closer and it works perfect as both
Will it stay in my act? Yes but I will do more than the ideas on the DVD. I think scratch is more of a utility device and you should come up with your own ideas using the concept. I have already made something else up that's not taught on the DVD and can't wait to perform it.
Well guys that's it from me for learn and perform a trick. I have learned so much from doing these posts and they have helped me not only make up routines and perform them but also think about my list of tricks I do all the time. I am now on the look out for 10 tricks I can do anytime anywhere with any deck of cards. If you have a trick that you think fits this criteria then get in touch I would love to hear your suggestions.
