In A Clockwork Apple,
you'll learn the following effects:
Dairy
Queens
- McDoanld's Aces has just been kicked with a million jigawatts, straight
into the future. This handling of the classic Assembly plot is both
easy and incredibly deceptive.
F.D.S.
- The Asher Twist meets the Hofzinser Ace Problem meets the Fockers.
Consider Hofzinser's Ace Problem solved.
Casino
Royale with Cheese - A surprise transposition of the Kings
and a selection. Don't say we didn't warn you!
Tainted
P.O.D. - This is the latest handling of Chris' now famous "Holes"
concept. Two cards visually transpose while trapped between two Jokers
with holes cut in the middle of them.
Whole
Warp - An amazing handling of the classic Card Warp plot. The
entire routine is done without the need to ever fold or tear a card.
Lazy
Rise - A selected card slowly rises from the bottom of the
deck to the top while anglejogged. This is a new, doable approach to
one of the most challenging plots in card magic.
Cardsexchange
- A visual color change of a card that is outjogged in the center of
the deck.
The
Schwartz - A simple, clean, utility card force. If Ferris Bueller
was a magician, he would have used this force.
