My Ambitious routine is bringing out some sound tips,advice & arguments for & against the way I structure routine & slieghts used.All of which im deeply appreciative of.
/>There's one thing that I was told, & thats never take anything for gospel.Sometimes things work & it contradicts years of tradition in ways of thinking, methods & even showmanship, but thats what I love about magic...Its an art, & as artiste's we are very different from each other.We may use the same tools & methods,but indeed we are very different.
I'm there with you on Ambitious Card, Tyrone. Probably my favorite effect. I remember seeing David Blaine do this on his special, and I thought, "If I could do that I'd be famous!" Little did I know... But I love performing ACR because the possibilities are endless! My personal routine includes an "ultimate transpo" and a "waving the aces" routine as part of the ACR. When I don't end it with "waving the aces", I end with the famous pop-up move. Great routine, great possibilities, great options for making it your own and fitting it to your style of patter, performing, etc. Whew! Did I say enough...?
Thanks for reply.We are both on the same wave length here.Like you said the possibilities are endless.You can incorporate so many other effects to the Ambitious.Its all about your own style,the sleights your good at and trial & error when it comes down to spectators reactions & appreciation.Thanks again.
But If lets say you was asked to perform one card trick only asks tyronearcher ---- it would be "the card trick that does everything" with the crackerjack ending performed by jennings100 (you know who that is ) i have ended performances with this and the reactions are amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well just lets have fun & discuss favourite's then.Personaly I know there can never be a true "this is the best card trick" as like you said,it depends on how its performed.But If lets say you was asked to perform one card trick only, the one you can do best, what would it be?
Tyrone, Your theory sounds great, I like that you mentioned that it is a routine that you can utilize to bring out your personnal character as well, while performing. Something that lots of beginners dont know yet. It is always good to have personality with the magic, Great job, Loved the routine, Great Misdirection on your part, Great lines (jokes) etc, as well that you use to relate with your guest... Bravo
Thanks again for your kind words & understanding.Lets hope more people put there personal views on this subject as this is what real magic is all about.Growing,discussing,learning,understanding & above all improving together.
personally i think the best card trick in the world is strangers gallery , let me retart ..... because it is right to the point hits hard then turns around and hits even harder , then on top of that you can have a pre-******* deck at the end , and if you like can be followed by the ACR , WoW i just relized something its not about 1 card trick to me its about how i can make card tricks flow together into card routines lol . BTW your acr is pretty good you should check out kammagic's acr its on youtube and its great !!!!!! />
I agree its about making tricks flow together which is more important,but this was just one of those contraversal statements to see what other magicians thoughts are on this subject.However Ambitious is a routine that can fit into all areas of card magic,which will flow as its impromptu.Thanks for your time to comment.All the best
