My Cousins illusion

[illusionist14]

I don't know if I mentioned anything about my cousin being a magician. But he is, and he is damn good. Anyway, he doesn't like this site. He is over at Theory11. I was doing some magic with him at a party, and when he told me to watch a specific trick, I was stunped. Here is the link...

He won't tell me if he made it, or if he bought it anywhere. If anyone knows how it is done please tell me.

[cheaptrick]

I've gotten everything but the ending, when e puts the knife through the card, idk, very cool

[illusionist14]

I know, I thought I had figured it out until the end.

lets hope its not, this looks like a good trick, except for the holes in walls

[illusionist14]

Well, then don't believe it, but he is. And it was at a party, there was no camera tricks, my dad was filming that, and i set it to record my can't use a video camera for his life.

[magicpowder]

yea if he created this trick im really amazed i would buy it in an instant but that last part looks to good to be true


ps. theres video editing so somone could use a camera..................

[cjhabes2010]

awesome trick, first thin i thought "criss angel has a twin!!!"

[illusionist14]

I also like to think of him as Criss Angel with out the camera editing.

[magicpowder]

I know what you mean by that, by yeah he is my cousin, and he takes me to most of his shows. I usually see him at family gatherings, and every once in a while he comes over just to visit, or like I said, his shows. He showed me that vanish in the beginning a little bit before he got his career started. I figured it out, so he added to it. And now I feel like a complete fool.

well get him to tell you tat trick and then tell me! I would love to have a trick like this and an extra use for a knife:p

He won't tell me. At first that effect was just a simple vanish, then he added the stabbing part to confuse me.

yea i feel fooled also lol:) :confused: :) but i did figure ou the vanish

I have watched that vid several times between post, and still have no clue how that last part is done

[illusionist14]

I offered him money that night. He refused. I asked if he would sell it. He said **** No.

I'll just keep watching it, traum will come on and figure it out in like 10 minutes.

[illusionist14]

Yeah, Hopefully

[magicpowder]

lol i wounder if this will even will stump traum thatll b funny bc theres only been one trick i think he couldnt figure out and that was daniel madisons card change

[cheaptrick]

lol i wounder if this will even will stump traum thatll b funny bc theres only been one trick i think he couldnt figure out and that was daniel madisons card change

I think that was it, This looks nearly impromptu

[illusionist14]

That would be pretty funny.

[azn_invazn]

lol.
did criss angel have a kid?
or did he magically clone himself.

i like the trick.
i think i got it though.
because if you watch closely the card is already on the switchblade before its even close to the door which means it was palmed behind the blade

[magicpowder]

maybe hes doing UCTW effect without a window ???? and stabbing the card thats the only way i could think of it

[illusionist14]

Don't you have to throw all the cards at the window to do that? I don't know how it's done, so i'm just wondering, I saw the preview.

[Tim Magician]

Farout, poor door. I hope he got paid for that trick so he could fix that door, was it a trick worth ruining a door for??

[vlad21]

i think the knife is gimmicked ;)

[The Joker]

duh the knife is gimmicked but we need traum

[azn_invazn]

duh the knife is gimmicked but we need traum

nah we dont.
ok we might
but still a gimmicked knife that pops the card out.
easy?

[The Joker]

no not easy!!

[ellusionist22]

wow thats awsome

[greg]

cool trick..i dont know why but i realy dont want to to know the method for this trick...hey i dont think is a gimmick knife

[greg]

look when he do the trick in gray at the end there a cut you can see it

[cheaptrick]

It looks impromptu

thats the only thing I dont get, how it gets there.

[illusionist14]

Good point. I have seen a thread a long time ago about an effect similar to this, but the card couldn't be signed. I could think of possibilities of this effect if it have a duplicate, but it's a signed card.

[cjhabes2010]

how did the vanish work

[seymourmagic]

It was a erdnase color change but the card that covered the selection was face down, so you cant see the selection.

[cjhabes2010]

thats wat i thought bt i didnt want to sound like a jackass

[Opivy]

yea the change is simple enough. i'm still thinking about the knife part though, i don't think it's gimmicked. I'll have to re-watch it a couple times soon

[illusionist14]

Has Traum been on to figure this out at all?

[cheaptrick]

naw, not yet, another member said it could be done with a tenki palm

[seymourmagic]

naw, not yet, another member said it could be done with a tenki palm

You are welcome :P.

[cheaptrick]

You are welcome :P.

thank you, but I still want to know how he does it...

[magicpowder]

ok the tekai idea was stupid on affence bc he showed both his hands

[cheaptrick]

ok the tekai idea was stupid on affence bc he showed both his hands

he meant the effect could also be done with a tenki palm, he didnt say how it was done, he said it was a differant version, we still dont know how it is done in the video

[The Joker]

i think it was a gimmick attached to the card because if u look when the lady is signing the card he hides the deck from view

[StonerNick420]

ya i notised that aswell. but wut gets me is the card has no folds or creases. ???

[The Joker]

yea thats the wierdest part

[traumatised-magic]

atually i cant figure it out, i watched that video quite a fw times and even played it in slow mo, that card just suddenly apears....and i mean literally just appears out of no where. one second its just a plain white door the next second there is a card stuck to it and thats even bfore he stabs it. that card appears there just as he draws his hand back. and i honestly have no idea how he gts it there. it seriously looks like a camera trick its so visual and clean. i just dont know hw he gets that card on the dor to stab it, its not a trick knife, and i dnt think its IT. its ****in good tho whatever it is. i am truely stumped

here you are, ignore my pm

[traumatised-magic]

card was forced tho, the signatures dont match exactly, they are in the same position but they are not exactly the same. plus u can tell he classic forcs the card right at the start, he keeps a tell tale break at the selection. its deffinatly set up. which mens either a stooge or he had done some card tricks before hand and got her to sign a differnt king earlier that night

[The Joker]

wow traum fooled for the second time in forum history never thought i would see the day

also notice the guy standing almost behind him, it looks like hes doing something suspicious for a bit

[traumatised-magic]

it does happen...lol mainly because its not just sleight of hand. i can usually figure tricks out if its just sleight of hand or simple gimmicks, but this just looks too good to b true, more than likely uses a gimmick which always makes it harder to figure out lol

[The Joker]

i think maybe that the guy in the back ws in on the trick because he reaches over to set the deck down but maybe he actually secretly gives it to the guy behind and he has some role in the trick

[WOA!!]

non-the less that was one clean freakin trick yo!......i was like DAYUMM!!

[illusionist14]

Well, him having a stooge is a pretty good explanation. To tell you guys the truth I didn't even notice the guy behind him when I was there.

[The Joker]

yea he doesnt talk or anything while he is there he just looks

[magic 1]

yea he doesnt talk or anything while he is there he just looks
hes definately in on it (he gives the dude the deck with the king already signed)

[The Joker]

yep and then he somehow loads it in that spot possibly IT

[magicpowder]

This is one of those tricks that I haven't seen in a while that just completely makes me feel like a layman! Amazing. 5/5.
