I'm not really entering the contest, but here's one of my contributions to Apocalypse. Harry liked it so much that it became a front cover item in 1996. Also, check out Twister and Millennium Collectors in Apocalypse (plus others) and my contributions in Best of Friends III. Anyway, here's The Ultimate Transposition filmed in Rotterdam a few months ago. Enjoy.

It's great to see a post from you Paul! I hope that all is well with you.



Thanks for sharing this video. What a great effect! I love how she points to your right coat pocket to tell you where she expected the last three to be. It demonstrates that you did a great job convincing her of the initial condition. Was it Ascanio who said that where there is a lack of clarity in the initial condition, there is a loss of impact at the denouement? I'm paraphrasing.



Anyway, excellent job!

I've talked to Rudy about this and just wanted to let everyone know I'll be offering a 40 dollar gift certificate to Penguin Magic for second place.



I've always enjoyed seeing people's entries and I'm keen to reward people who put themselves out there doing something they love. 0 2 2

Just for total clarity - this means any trick from Apocalypse , regardless of source?

I just wanted to remind you that our contest will be ending very soon. Harry will almost be celebrating his 91st birthday!



I'm hoping that some of you will perform some hidden gem that I haven't seen before. Good luck!

Posts: 2,375 Reply with quote #25 I'm a bit confused (nothing new - I usually start confused!). Or is it Paul that's confused?! Yes; that effect is out of Best of Friends, Vol. 3. But it's titled "Power"ful" I don't know where "Mars Life" comes from. I gave it the title in the book because it's a take-off on Richard Vollmer's Earthly Powers - which is an idea I've "taken off" on a number of times. Paul's is (as I state in the book) "short, sweet and direct." And nicely done, Paul. 1 0 0

Noticed after I did the trick I almost did name the selected card. 0 0 0

Hello Rudy and Forum Members! Although I am NOT entering this contest, I want to wish Harry Lorayne the very best on his 91st birthday, and, just for fun (as a challenge or whatever), I've put together two routines based on Lorayne's work that I'd like to UNOFFICIALLY share with you. Everyone above has done great jobs with their videos -- I'm sure Harry will enjoy them all and good luck with the contest!





I also have worked on another one, which is a little on the long side, but I hope you will still enjoy it:
