What will he teach
My 4F's Routine See and learn the latest 4Fs card routine presented with great success by George Iglesias at the last FFFFs Convention. A tribute to the great Simon Lovell.
Ruining the surprise - The magician breaks an important rule of magic and reveals the final surprise of the effect long before the trick even takes place. A card is selected, signed and lost in the deck. Two kings are inserted face up in the middle and the signed card is supposed to appear in between the two kings. Things go wrong and the signed card ends up on top of the deck. No worries. A promise is a promise. The signed card, which was clearly left on top of the deck, appears in the center of the deck between the two kings by merely snapping the fingers.
Anti Ambitious Card - A card that rises always to top is now clearly left on top to drop to the bottom of the deck in a blink of an eye.
NonTop - Explanation of a new card technique developed by George. A very deceptive displacement of a card. Very useful to accomplish strong effects with cards.
Tarot Reading - Using some of the mayor arcana cards and spectator is asked to freely look at only one card and memorize it. The cards are all mixed and George will start to read their future AND guessing the right selection.
Follow Me - A nice trick in which you will gain a new follower on twitter and will also guess somebody's secret information.
Cigarette Estimation - Be able to guess how many cigarettes are left inside of a pack that is inside of the spectator's pocket.
Mental M&Ms - A fun and amazing trick that can be performed thru the telephone or live by using a simple M&M bag. The spectator is asked to open the bag, the magician turns around and give instructions to the spectator to spread a few over the table, now the spectator will start to eat them at his will. Lots of free choices made by the spectator and a nice final revelation.
Buyers Remorse - How often do you buy something that you regret later on Imagine having the possibility of going back in time, and transforming your purchase in cash back again! A very intriguing transformation effect!
Dollar to Credit Card - A dollar bill changes into a credit card in a very eye popping move! This is candy for your eyes. Learn the details of one of the tricks that popularise George worldwide among the world of magicians. A trick that is now performed by hundreds of them!
