Booooooooooored!

[SimonC]

Anyone got a pic of bioshock ("under the skirt")? Waiting for payday and I'm soooo bored! Need a project to tinker with, was going to try and make a mock up to keep me ticking til I find a real one.
I'm working on a Souped up coin through match but I'm away from my laser cutter for the next week, lots of poorly cut bits of card flying around my living room.
Help!

Verveling is diep en mysterieus (Erik Satie). Translated: boredom is deep and mysterious.

I am not bored but frustrated because I ordered a couple of items at Stolina, received them today, and 1 item was not available anymore. A trick called Durchbrenner: a beautiful leather wallet, well wallet, something you can open like a book. In the middle on both sides a beautiful hole. When you open it, you can put a bill on the left (there is on both sides a something so that it keeps in place) and a paper on the right, you close the wallet. And then you pull or a cigarette (this is not done anymore of course ) or a pencil. Then you open it, the paper is penetrated, the bill not. Of course this is an old effect, but this was beautifully made of leather. Help! Can anybody tell me the ecret of this trick So that I can make this thing myself?

You can find one of these on Tony Reisner shop.

[Rob Rand]

Wow Roberto, thank you soooo much!!! I didn't know this shop, I found the item.... Thanks, you make my day!

And there are a lot more interesting items too!

Maybe I'll have to thank Simon too, he led me from boooored to frustraaated

So, both thank you! But especially Roberto

[SimonC]

Glad I helped you find something to do. I'm still bored tho, any thoughts?

[Rob Rand]

Take a drink.... and another one.... and another one.... At a certain momentum, you will not be bored anymore, you even won't know if you actually exis...

t....


Just want to say that Bioshock must be the most boring trick ever invented...

[SimonC]

It looks like it'd be easy to make one, am I right in thinking it's no more than a bit of plastic under a piece of cloth? The drinks a given
Here's what I've been working on today, CTM with a twist

[SimonC]

This was my first CTM lasercut in acrylic. This is just a straight up CTM, I'm hoping to combine the look of this with the function of the other

[David DeTenyo]

Bioshock is a bit more then just a piece of plastic with a cloth The card is pretty special because it bends and is elastic. The case is constructed in such a way that when you perform the trick correctly (which takes practice) it really looks like you cut off your fingers! Look here and watch it to the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6qGL2-HRPY

Your ecreation looks beautifull as always Simon! I prefer the brown/white color though, makes it seem 'old'. Very curious about what your 'twist' is

[SimonC]

Thanks David, I like the 'antiqued' version too, just need to get it to the thickness of the 'blueprint' version. It's just a case of finding the right materials.
I kind of have an idea about bioshock, I guessed the card was similar to illusionarium and puzzling queen stock, and there's an eBay auction at the moment where the photo gives away a little what the shape under the cloth may be. (This is how sad I am, trawling the internet for clues

WOW...the design is beautifull!!

[Rob Rand]

Yes, the design is beautiful, but I watched the video of Jenzo Harmonics, and the thing is so wide that you tend to think the coin is sliding left or right off the match. On the other hand, the routine with the coin suddenly being turned after the 3d throw (is that good English? is warp better?) is pretty surprising.

[SimonC]

Ahh dam I was meant to take that video down! I'm rerecording it tonight as I was filming from an iPhone balanced on a Pringles can...

[Rob Rand]

Rob Rand sees everything .... I tend to think I am actually the Creator of the Universe...

[Rob Rand]

If that's true, then I created all the Tenyotricks...

[SimonC]

good work

Roberto, thanks again! I emailed Tony, and ordered the Fire Proof. He is happy to send it to me, and of course I paid him. Without your help I would have never found this on the internet! Gracias!!!

[Roberto B.]

You're welcome....Tony is a great guy to deal with.

Please let me know your review about the trick......I have been always intrigued by it.

[Rob Rand]

OK Roberto, so you don't own Fire Proof yourself! But it must be into your interest field for sure!
Tomorrow he will send it to me, will let you know about it when I recieve it!

[Rob Rand]

Hey this Boooooored topic becomes more and more interesting? By the way, maybe we should rename 'Board index' into 'Bored index'

[SimonC]

Can I be chairman of the bored?

[Rob Rand]

OK Simon, you the Chairman of the Boooored, and I remain of course Creator of the Universe! There must be a difference you know!

[Rob Rand]
