It
has been a while since I have updated everyone as to the status of the “Creating
a Magic Trick” project. Let me review what has happened to date.
I
created a project to create a magic trick, and document each step of the
process. It was determined early on that this magic trick would ultimately be
one for sale, so packaging, artwork, and price point would be a factor.
Along
the way the effect was named “Backs, Faces, & Middle” (BFM). The collection
of posts to date is available from a menu selection on the left side of the
FYEO Magic Online screen.
Two
things have been hurdles to overcome for this project. One was the printing the
word ‘middle” on the cards. The other was trying to secure video equipment to
make a demo. These have now, both been rectified.
A
new direction for the trick! Instead of having the cards say middle they will
have a mirror finish. The new name will be Backs, Faces, & Mirrors (BFM). This
will resolve the printing on the cards issue. Video equipment was purchased and
everything is a go.
The
documentation is complete with the exception of the photographs. I will need
assistance for this, as it is difficult to take a photograph of yourself if you
are using both hands to perform. I know I tried.
