Great Alternate Routine for Card Surgery by Roberto

[PeterW]

Fantastic John, Now that's great inventive thinking! I love the use of the paint brush and glue idea. It also fits with the card being in a plastic dish, because you don't want the glue to get everywhere! Very nice!

[Roberto B.]

Glad that you liked it!!....you just need some loctite to fix the m....... within the brush bristles

[JohnM]

Yes I noticed that you showed both side of the brush in the beginning. Really brilliant and much easier to perform. It would put a smile on Lubor's face.

[SimonC]

you could do it with four squares of wallpaper

[Roberto B.]

the brush bristles also helps to reduce the noise....

[Brett H]

Well done performance!

Now, I have no idea how he gimmick works. But from what has been said, using he brush to hide it makes even more brilliant

[John B.]

Brilliant! Nicely done Roberto!

[kellebotond]

Great idea! Much cleaner than to use your hand to cover.

[David DeTenyo]

Perhaps it is possible to paste a strong magnet (stronger then the one in the brush) in the cup so the pieces get attached to it. When covered with some felt there would be no noise issue. That way you can show the brush 'clean' at the end of the routine.
Or you can, of course, ditch the gimmicks easily taking them from the brush and lap them.

David,

I told Roberto that doing the paddle move with the brush at the end of the routine could be more convincing. Seems that he liked the idea. After showing "both sides" empty with the paddle move and positioning the brush at the finger palm position, I think it would be easy to palm all the "pieces" and you will end up clean. Even cleaner than leaving all the pieces in the cup.

Seems that we need to move this thread to members only section

[David DeTenyo]

True true Victor. But that darn paddle move ... arrgh I really need to practice that one since it has so many applications!

[VictorS]

David,

the experts said that after doing same thing up to 10.000 times, you will become familiar with it and you will become the expert by your actions

This alternate presentation is superb and I like the fact that it leaves you the performer clean.

Brilliant moves. Very classy!

Hands always hid too much, and to me it looked fake and clumsy.
Revealing with the brush makes it looks like real magic. I'm sold.

SIMON:
I absolutely LOVE the "Wallpaper' idea!

It could be done with a "love" letter, Greeting card, portion of Sheet Music, a piece of note pad paper which is freshly torn out of a real pad, etc.
