Dustings #87

I received this email a few hours ago…

A guy pausing his wedding ceremony to do a magic trick is a bad enough idea in the first place. I’m sure his wife was like…

But look, if you’re going to stop your vows to shine the spotlight on yourself for a bit in order to do a Dan Harlan trick, I recommend going full-trainwreck and doing Fart-Toon.


Here’s a good resource for anyone who is a magic wallet afficionado or collector, or just buy-curious and want to do some research with a lot of options in the same place. It’s chamberofwallets.com and it has information on over 220 magic wallets.


If you have issue #9 of the Love Letters newsletter, this is a good idea from Jonathan FC in regards to the variation on the ACAAN trick that opens that issue. (It won’t make sense if you don’t have that.)

Just a small touch for this effect i thought you would like.

I still havent performed it but i like the look of your version.

For 1 of the 4 outs... put the deck inside the box of the deck you will be using during the performance. Leave your "touching" deck out on top of this full box. And make sure the deck inside the box is a different color deck (both to the box and the deck in use)

I think thats a nice out for the effect. And it still feels inevitable.


Another email I received recently…
