: : : I was just watching some T.V. magic shows I have on tape. : : : When I seen an effect by Lance Burton that I thought was pretty : : : good. He uses a mini-deck and by the end, he had changed it : : : into a poker size deck. Cool huh? I was wondering if anyone : : : knows what that effect is called? Any info would be greatly : : : appreciated. thank Jb. : : Sure, it is pretty cool. I figured it out by myself. : : When the one lady is telling him when to stop in : : deck, he does, but he doesn't show you the card he : : was stopped on. He shows you the very bottom card : : of the deck. Look at the tape again and watch closely. : : Then...when he asked the other lady what the card was... : : she wasn't supposed to know. When he is wispering the card : : into her ear...he puts his hands under the table : : and gets out a big deck. ALL YOU DO IS SPREAD : : THE DECK SIDEWAYS!!! (Pretty cool) and it looks : : like a little deck. But you must have just a few : : "real" small cards at the end of the line. The rest : : of them are already big!!! If you look closely... : : you can actually see that all he is doing is turning : : the deck right side up, so that you see the deck : : normal. Then the couple of "real" small cards : : are hidden at the end. And that's it. At least : : to my knowledge. Hope that's not to confusing. It : : won't be if you watch the tape. --MERLIN : : Its called diminishing returns. Its about $15-$20 at a magic shop.
