- I'm fairly new (been practicing for about two years), but I get a good
- response (when I do it correctly) from the signed card trick and Brother
- Hamman's Eight Ball Queens. My grandfather nearly wept with joy and
- amazement when he saw that one.
-
- Also, Ed Marlo invented a neat little trick where four cards are chosen,
- three of them happen to be twos, the last an ace, so the magician proceeds
- to turn the ace into a two and by that time the other twos have become
- aces and the ace that was just turned into a two becomes an ace again.
- Whew! I think the audience likes it so much because the magician seems to
- make a mistake or two that turn out to be fantastic miracles. I wish I
- could remember the name of the trick. (BTW I will trade tricks if you
- haven't seen this one).
-
- Unfortunately I sometimes get better reaction from the tricks that pretty
- much work themselves. The audience expects to see something fishy, and if
- it works itself, they seem to have a greater respect for you.
