If you don't like this effect, it has to be because you've not practiced it enough to make it smooth
and natural. How can someone argue with an effect that brought Copperfield down off of his
thousands and thousands of dollars worth of props to perform in the faces of his audience?
This effect is misleading (no pun intended) in the sense that you feel as though you might be
able to perform this properly very quickly. Don't be "Misled". Practice this until it's simply
second nature, and you'll be thrilled with the outcome. About the time you think you've got it,
you'll want to spend another week performing it a few times per day, and then you'll be ready to
unleash it in a close-up environment. If you've got some distance between you and your spectators,
you can cut off the last week, as the distance alone will hide the last vestiges of gimmickery (is
that a word?).
I very much recommend you pick this up. It's a great effect, and it's a
staple in the magician's learning process.
Great effect.
