Magic Tricks

Although I don't perform anymore, like most magic junkies, I probably buy more magic & books than I ever did back then because it's fun to enjoy the intricate thought processes behind the effects, methods and subtleties (something I would gloss over when I was "too busy", and just wanted to learn an effect and start using it.) The first time I saw Daniel do this, I got a stupid grin across my face because I was expecting a "great trick" (I'm a fan and have plunged into other "Chard's On Cards" in the past). What I was NOT expecting was to be stir-fried and served-up to "Gotcha" cannibals! WTF, Dan? The 2nd vanish is STUPID to watch! Seriously! I can't think of a more magical moment that I've seen in a while. The fact that it's the SECOND VANISH, and you are already focusing in on the action because you just got burned with the first vanish.....and then it happens AGAIN, with NO GET-READY OR SILLY MOVE! You just flip the three Aces face-down....and one vanishes! That simple. It's gone! My mind turned to mud!

Since I was still grinning, more permanently however; I had to just buy the damn thing! If I was that drenched in brain-glue by only the 2nd vanish; there's not really a reason to even TRY and follow-along at that point. Here's my $$$$ Daniel! I hope it was worth ruining a man's life with by scarring him with this stupid grin that won't go away!!!
