I find that this card warp is not very common... I cannot find it in youtube. Or maybe I did not search thoroughly :)
Anyway, here it goes....... and hopefully you will like it :)
Any comments?

I think your handling is too slow, esp at the start. It can get boring. And the clip has a late 20th century feel to it, not to mention that your cards appear squarish at times. :lol:

hmmmm.... yes, my actual handling is not that slow. I do it very slowly for this..... my works need me to RUSH RUSH RUSH just to get the end result...... I feel that maybe I can "slow" this down a bit :) Won't it be nice if we have the time, don't rush anything and just sit down, "relax" and "enjoy"....
anyway, this is just my thinking :D and apologise if it makes you bore :lol:
late 20th century feel - oh no..... I thought my sofa colour is beautiful... never thought that it could create this feeling. Or my hands look old?? :g:
cards appear squarish at times :blink: :blink: ???
anyway..... thanks.....

I thought how different could a card warp be. Wow, really quite impressive. You can actually show the cards. I know the "classic" version, wonder how you did this? Can teach me hehe?
Yah, a bit slow, but I think you slowed it down because you want to show it clearly.

Thanks Muscleaxl.... :)
Here is the normal handling if you dont mind watching it again :D
Hopefully it will not bore you again :g:

Nice, though its slow. But the new handling make it more convicing. And I never thought that using the technique can do such a wonder. Thumbs up to the new idea. :)

Very interesting idea there. B)
Definitely a magician's fooler. All the magicians accustomed to the normal card wrap will be nicely surprised. :D
I think the handling is a LITTLE bit slow still. But it feels longer and slower than it actually is because there's no patter or music.
Try putting a sound track over it Thomas, It should feel quite different.
I think this is one of the effects that has more impact on magicians than layman. Because to a layperson, this is no different from your standard card warp. But to a magician, this is...woah, i didn't see that coming. :lol:
The only comment I have is that towards the ending of the effect, before you open up the card to show that it has turned the other way, to push it thru the "wrap zone" a little bit more.
Not all the way thru out of the other card, but just as far as you can go. Because now, it seems like the transformation is "incomplete" and you opened up the wrapping card, because the changing card hasn't really "gone thru it". Just a little "logic lapse" because the card is supposed to change going THROUGH the wrap zone, and it doesn't look like it has really fully gone thru it.
Hope you get what I mean. B)

I must say your Card Warp is really different from the one
that I know. It's very convincing even for magicians. Good
work! Like do know where can I find the resources to learn
this handling of yours. Cheers.

Is this an original trick, or did you learn it from somewhere? Ever thought of marketing a new idea?

Hi all,
Just back from HK. My kids love Disney rather than Ocean Park :)
Glad that you find this card warp not common too..... :D
I forgot where I saw this trick done in the internet. I usually just surf and watch magic video performed by others.
I find this card warp different and manage to perform the trick with my methods. I do not know if the creator is using the same method or not :unsure:
Cheers!
PS: Oooops... I remove my second handling as I found that the video is not well taken.... a bit of expose actually :blink: I will video again if you really feel bore watching the "slow motion" clips :D PM me and I will let you have the new hamdling web address when it is up :) I will use my Bicycle card to show instead of the Bee card :D
