Effects from the worker's repertoire

Whew! It's been a hot and muggy weekend in Chicago, which has made it all the more uncomfortable to be out performing. This past weekend was probably the busiest I've had since I've moved to Illinois, in terms of private engagements. I found myself doing perhaps the same 4 tricks all weekend - and they have yet to let me down.

Don Alan's Complete Chop Cup: This is a comprehensive depiction of Don Alan's theories, handling, and presentation of the Chop Cup. It's his way of doing it, not merely a replication of a single performance.

Bar Bill Stunt: Chosse's Bar Bill Stunt is now a classic - the Mis-made Bill/Quadflex bill. In this version, you try to teach a trick. It's almost magic; advanced Origami, but the audience is unimpressed until too much oversell results in the bill turning inside out! This is visual, entertaining magic. We've also got the Mismade Dollars available.

BKM Wallet: The Card to Wallet is a classic plot, and a fitting end to any Ambitious Card routine. I love our BKM Wallet because it gives you the ability to adapt to whatever performing situation you find yourself in. If you aren't wearing a jacket or don't feel comfortable palming, you can use the no-palm method. You can even use it for a card-to-sealed envelope!

5" Linking Rings: The Linking Rings have a stunning impact on an audience - even more so when done in front of their faces! These are small enough to be carried in your pocket, but they play very big.
