Jakarta's D'Miracle Gathering

I'm so excited for this event. After quite some time I can attend another D'Miracle gathering

The theme for that gathering is Freestyle but NO CARD Allowed.

Its quite a challenge especially with beginner in magic. See how it goes.

If the theme wasn't no card allowed, I wanna try new card effect which I created quite some time ago. It's not that original cos I took a bit from here and there and construct it to be "Card to impossible location" plot trick.

Anyway... I've prepared full routine for coin anyway... production of 4 coins. My Illusion Matrix V6. Then coin vanish....

Still thinking which way the best to connect them all... I have an option already. Still need to find another option....

Stay tuned... The gathering will be on Dec 13th.... long way to go

Amplified Aces Assembly - Gary Kurtz

For those who familiar with that routine, I have to say this is one of the best aces assembly out there....

Kurtz didn't make we practice with all knuckle busting sleight, but He teaches to focus on psychological aspect.

It's hard to believe sometimes how ppl can make such a trick and be one of the favorite

The other trick which Kurtz likes the most was Ultimate progression. It's queen assembly.

It's a heck of a trick as well

It's rare as well thou

Anyway... gotta go back to practice

Take care

Illusion Matrx V6 reworking

A great news... The other day an idea came to me. It's about how to do IMV6 with "simpler" prop... The effect looks the same but the work behind that a bit different...

I have 2 variations on the reworking stuff and it's remind me of Hayashi's Matrix and Ogawa's Matrix. The effect pretty much the same... but i believe the starting position and sequence on each phases are different....

My Illusion Matrix V6 is done... and ready to perform it in public...

Hope it gets a great reaction as in the video clip

Illusion Matrx V6 rehandling

I practiced the new handling of this matrix las night. Still hard to decide whether this gonna be pure magic or with a bit of faint ?

Btw I also found new coin vanish... not really new though. It's a slight variation of retention... but it does look good. I will use it along with IMV6 rehandling....

My friend suggested VX name.... but I dunno... Will think bout it

In the mean time.... stay tunned

We're Goin Home - Coin to purse effect

I'm re working on this effect. Hopefully I can release this effect to Magic Community worldwide. Featuring 2 new moves. One of the moves can be replaced due to the skill you must have to do it. Apart from that, I believe it's doable.

I wanna create effect which doable with simple moves and great impact. It's, once again, inspired by Doug Brewer - The 3 Famous Coin Trick.

It's just my own handling. The premise is all the same.....

Hopefully someone will help me to do a research

?!?!?!?! NEO ?!?!?!?!

Few days ago my mate "gave" me a nickname. It was NEO.... lol

It's because all my magic effect on my youtube are mostly about matrix coin effect.... then He told me I'm the new NEO.... lol

If NEO goes with Andre so it'll become Andre Neo or Andre Neotrix, it wouldn't be so bad....

hahahaha... just a little intermezzo in my busy life....

New effect on progress.... flip aces

Sat still nothing to do in my office this afternoon gave me new idea for magic effect.
I always like Marlo Miracle Aces... I thought how can I achieve that kind of effect with my way

In my mind the effect goes like this... you lost 4 aces in different parts of the deck. with no movement one ace appear face up. cut the deck the aces appear reverse inside the deck. you show no card is reverse in the deck and with simple cut the ace appear face up again. the last one you put it in spectator hand then spectator themself spread the deck to reveal final aces

It's called flip aces....

Stay tuned

Magic Wondering

Last night my friend told me about one great effect which is not available anymore in any manuscript. It's aces assembly type of routine and it's from Gary Kurtz....

He said his friend showed him the other day and make him so baffled although in his opinion it wouldn't be easy to do it. What we can expect from Mr. Gary Kurtz.

Anyway, we decided sometimes to "reconstruct" the routine but with our own handling... Perhaps it would be great

I just wondering how they can come up with such impossibility.....
