looks like another elastic thread trick (maybe)
I'd like to know how to construct one of these.

"Sneaky Moves" by Michael Boden

Fri, 18 May 2012 11:06:19 -0400

"If you wait long enough .......it will.....come." Over 15 years ago I manufactured an effect called SMALL MIRACLE.......when they were all sold I didn't make any more because the gaff was an origami nightmare to make.

As the years passed by....... I occasionally tried to re-work the gaff with no avail . I recently was trying again and..... POOF !......"just like magic" it appeared !! So simple for anyone to make and use now !!!!..........."if you wait.......it will come"

Next week I will shoot the vid and post the Explanation tutorial at Hocus-Pocus and here at SOMF.

"Sneaky Moves" is a combination of old and new ideas with a NOW simple to make and use gaff that produces an ending that hopefully won't be forgotten.

Hope you enjoy watching the presentation .

Take Care
Michael Boden

Obvious DL switch-out and forced card. But what about the movement of the 4 X's? This item is a download so probably no gimmicks. Put on your thinking caps boys and girls!

knock em dead 2

I didnt really rate the original that much .
But looking at this clip..
all the pack appears different and the performer seems to heavily lead towards just the one "out"

I suppose the "instructions" in the back pocket could be multiple outs otherwise why put them in the back pocket ?
But the pack doesnt appear to be repeated and drawing attention to the instructions in this way surely the card must be revealed in the same way every time? Any other reveal would leave the volunteer asking " so what about the instructions in your back pocket?"
