This was an awesome newsletter. I have always loved Topsy Turvy cards and so enjoyed twumph. But Stupid Cupid was a great find too. I really think you could make something of the fact that although it seemed insignificant years ago, the fact that this person with this name was the first love/kiss, was what made the trick work. Someone else with a longer or shorter name and the trick might not have worked. Awesome!
I did think you could get the name of the person with a peek device or similar but maybe that’s unnecessary. I’d have loved to have seen Eugene Burger performing this one-I reckon his presentational touches could make this a memorable trick. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Elliott. Re Stupid Cupid, I did wonder if you could get the spectator to write the name on the back of the card while you turn away. They turn the card face up, you turn back and the trick proceeds from there. No idea of the method but it would be a nice kicker if you could reveal the name on the back of that card at the end of the trick.
Try O'Keefe's Working Man's Hand Cream, a tiny dab goes long way and is the best hand preparation I have used, and one of the cheapest. Another plus si that it does not leave any residue on your cards/coins.
An effect that goes well with this is in Karl Fulves Computer Dating from Impromptu Card Tricks ( also part of Self Working Card Tricks,) and the next effect in the book Dating Game, and also a Jim Steinmeyer effect, The King’s Coronation, from his booklet Further Impuzzibilities.
The well known matching effect "the last two cards match" can also be adapted to the same theme..
Thanks Steve. I'll try some of that. Another royal matching trick is Vernon's Royal Marriages from Select Secrets. It's also in Henry Hay's The Amateur Magician's Handbook in the chapter Head Magic with Cards. It's a two phase routine.
Love it - Love it.
Thanks again Colin. And thanks for the coffee too!
Thanks David for all your ongoing generosity.
Thanks Daniel.
