Hi Folks

Card Warp, Close-Up Illusion (Larry Jennings) & Zapped are packet card tricks which are considered sfx / unconventional. Can anyone add to this rather slim list. I've looked at, in the neighbourhood of 500 - 1000 packet effects. These sfx are a pretty exclusive club as far as I can tell

Thank you all

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by sfx? (In film scoring, it's an abbreviation for sound effects).

I mean "Special effects." Not your standard db, df, etc.

How about Immaculate Connection?

Excellent! Exactly the kind of thing I meant. Much appreciated. It's a hard question.

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I've found Aldo Colombini's packet DVDs very useful. Combine these with Bicycle gaffed decks and there's no stopping.
I don't know how many (or whether) the Bicycle or Ellusionist bike decks are still available, try eBay.
