David Stone has created Damaged and it is a very artful presentation.
Some Magi may desire to
change the overall patter to fit their style. The artful moves in the presentation are graceful and
smooth.
Now, It will take some doing for non-card magicians,)like me), lol. Though I know
enough basic card slights to have figured out the effect, I am not a card guy. You will want to
practice this, oh yes,... go thru a few decks,... use new decks according to David.
As
David states in the instructions he uses Damaged as his opener, I can see that. It is an effect that
gets their attention.
David goes the extra mile and explains his handling and a few
different bits as well as how to practice the key moves he has incorporated into his handling for
his effect - Damaged is a good bit of magic that will serve you well to learn and will get positive
reactions when you perform it.
