My Magic

I have been fascinated with magic since childhood.  I got my first magic kit when I was about 10 and I did (poorly) most of the included tricks.  I got my first real trick when I was 15 and went to Las Vegas for a high school band trip.  I was hooked.  For half my life I have been collecting magic.  I started with trick decks and gaffed coins and have been progressively moving on.  This page is a listing of what I have in my magic collection.

Technicolor Cheek

A sensation in Paul's lectures. Easy to do with a tremendous impact and three smashing climaxes. You show a red backed deck. A card is freely selected. The deck is then shuffled ala Triumph (half of the cards are face up and half of the cards are face down). You clearly show the deck in that situation by spreading it. After a magic gesture, a blue backed card appears face down in the deck. Believe it or not, it is the selected card. Another magic gesture, the deck is spread again and now (are you ready?) all the cards are not only face down, but they have become all blue backed. No rough and smooth, no stripper, virtually no moves. Complete with routine, ideas and the deck ready to use.
