Scor­pio Omni Deck

Just received Dia­mond Jim Tyler­’s new Omni Deck from Wolfgang Wollet (thank you for the light­ing fast deliv­ery). Great thing! Scares me to death only look­ing at it, not to talk about hav­ing it in my hands!

It looks so scary that I would­n’t want to per­form it to real people. But then I thought as being one of those guys born under the star sign of Scor­pio, it would be a nice idea to link this some­how into the present­a­tion: “Hey … by the way … what is your star sign? Fish … OK. Mine is Scor­pio … take a look …”

Then the unsus­pect­ing spec­tat­or dis­cov­ers the beast in her hand … lets it drop, screams and slaps me in the face (hope­fully her and not her body build­er boyfriend).

This will end up on my desk as a paper­weight because I am really too scared and actu­ally afraid to do this for real people. Magic is not mak­ing people scream. But then, if I were to do it, I would add a little thing in the presentation.

Here is my bas­tard present­a­tion idea: Do the Scor­pio Omni Deck and have the spec­tat­ors take a look at it and swal­low the shock. Then take the block, and after a wave of the hand, dis­cov­er the block sud­denly is empty and clear (switch in the reg­u­lar clear Omni Deck, using any tech­nique you like and that is con­vin­cing and surprising).

Could you ima­gine what hap­pens when you glance under the table and say some­how wor­ried: “Sh** … this isn’t the first time this happened … where the hell did he go … be careful…”

At this point, all spec­tat­ors should have left their seats, includ­ing the girl’s body build­er boyfriend.

I would prob­ably per­form this little thing in that way. If I wer­en’t so scared of the beast myself … so I won’t …

Pass it on!
