| What a variety pack! Cards, coins, egg bags.. you name it this guy does it. Fabulous lecture to get the convention rolling. |
|
|
| (L) Hocus pocus dominocus - out evil spirits! (R) Marc DeSouza helps Pat create another miracle. |
|
|
| Another lecture variety pack. Rey is noted for his Cap in Bottle which was popularized by Daryl. (R) Boris Wild helps Rey with his Laser trick. |
|
|
| (L) Boris wears special glasses to protect his eyes from the laser beam. Rey had some very clever gimicks and great ideas. Another great lecture. |

| Jean-Jacques was a 1979 FISM winner in cards and we got to see why. Cannibal Cards proved that "you are what you eat." JJ also performed an excellent Open Travelers, ending with a royal flush. He tipped a very cool gimmick which allows you to find out what a spectator has written. There was also an excellent Triumph routine ending with the deck in full deck order. Way cool! |
|
|
| Guest of honor Meir Yedid also performed a variety of routines starting with a five bill repeat (right) which ended with a giant bill. |
|
|
| Meir's favorite is cards and he taught many very cool and cleverly constructed routines. Standouts were an in the hands Triumph, a fake faro, the use of 6's as 9's in a spread and a very cool transposition with a signed card in the pocket. Meir ended with Cardinal Card, one of his marketed items. It's basically a wild card with both faces and backs! Another great lecture. |
|
|
| Meir still cranking it out. |
|
|
| Pavel's lecture took a different turn. It was more about creative thinking than about tricks. He took a premise and showed the evolution of his thinking - each solution more clever than the previous. |
|
|
| (L) Pavel presents a puzzle to illustrate lateral thinking. He used a color ring routine to illustrate how principles/methods can lead to an effect. It was a very informative and interesting lecture. |
|
|
| Tony Econ was more interested in the pictures on the Bikini cards than in the trick. The Bikini card trick is basically a prediction item. |
|
|
| Boris also taught "Chain Reaction", a two deck item as well as a DVD effect which was another prediction trick. Cool lecture. |
|
|
| Wild man David Stone is noted for his coin work. He also taught his excellent cigarette routine and some cool card stuff. |
|
|
| Bottle productions are popular these days and David markets a nice item which allows you to carry the bottle with out busting your gut. This was the last of an excellent series of lectures. If there was a common strand running through the lectures, it was VARIETY. It's difficult not to become overwhelmed by the volume of things to remember! |
