Hi guys,

I would like to know if anybody knows or has any excellent routines for the 'Insurance Policy'?

I'll explain why I'm asking, I bought David Malek's 'Ultimate Insurance Policy Routine' about a year ago, and while 'just about okay' (can't really knock it as I haven't even tried performing it), it's full of sexual inuendo, and I'm a clean performer (yes, I even wash between my toes), and all rude, risque language/inuendo is a serious no-no in my book, so if you know of a clean routine, please let me know.

(If you should feel so inclined, you can PM if you don't want to give away your routine to everyone!)

Many thanks in advance & my warm regards to all,

Martin King

P.S. I should add, that I've tried editing/changing the script, but it takes away the very guts of the script, so no luck there!

Hmmm...haven't seen that one and can't seem to find it. Any chance you've got a link for it?

Sorry, no link! Oh, hold on, try elmagicshop.com or type in earths largest magic shop into a search engine? It's owned by David Malek, the creator of the routine.

Hope that helps!

I tried that and could not find this effect. They had a couple of David's items, but not this one.

Dear Martin,

I have a marketed version that works with a FREE CHOICE. Any card can be used...and you get more gags...and the revelation of their card (no sleights) attached to your shoe heel. It's called "Card Under Shoe Magicians Insurance Policy!" See my website.

Best, PAUL GORDON

Martin,

Here's a link to Paul effect. Hope this helps.

Mrunge & Paul Gordon

Thanks sooooooooo much for replying! I really, truly appreciate it.

I'll check out your link Mr Gordon (or may I call you Paul? or should it be 'Sire'?; sorry can't resist a joke when the opportunity arrises)

Warm & fuzzy regards to both of you,

Martin King

P.s. Mrunge, sorry about the lack of link, I can't really help you futher!

Martin King

Dear Martin,

Thank you...call me "sire" if you wish; not that I'm that posh!

Paul Gordon

Martin, you're welcome. Hope you find something that works for you.

Keep us posted!

Check out Michael Ammar's "Easy To Master Card Magic", Vol. 1. The routine in their is fairly simple and straightforward, and can be used to develop your own version.

The aspect of this particular routine that I like the most is that it has plenty of room for an absolute miracle! When you've asked them to shuffle and turn up the top card, and it's their selected card, there's one possible miracle. When that card isn't the selected card, but you do the old indicator card bit, and count down that many cards (five card if it's a 5, etc.), and that happens to be the selected card, there's another miracle!

Heck, when either of those miracles happen, I don't even open the insurance policy! I just say, "Just like most insurance policies, I don't need it often," and put it away.

Remember the old rule of magic: "If a miracle happens during your act, take credit for it!"
