Justin Miller - Q&A - Autograph - Launch: Jan 20

Justin is back in the house to give the low down on Autograph.

If you haven't seen it yet, check it here:

Autograph by Justin Miller

This is just a teaser so keep peeking at it for a full trailer.

Justin, thanks bro for swinging by. Grab a brew, have some dip, you got the mic.

So uh,
Justin...
What is the effect?
Two signatures come together on a double backed card?

Is there more to the effect or something?

No no,

2 cards are signed and dated your sig on one card and their sig on another.
They are holding their card with their sig and you are holding your card with your sig.
without any funny moves at all they VISIBLY see the two signatures change places.
then both SEPARATE cards become one single card in their hand you sig on one side their sig on he other.

This is my version of Anniversary waltz...with a huge twist!

You have my full attention Justin. Silver Dream is still one of my favorite E dvds. Just beautiful.

Anniversary Waltz, for some reason, has always been one of the strongest and most killer effects I do, however I have always wanted it to be more 'open' so to speak.

I'm really looking foward to this. Great to see you working with E again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this one of the effects you released on your sight last year? I forget the name of it, but you did have a trick, titled something different, that had the exact same description as this one.

ahhhh.
Sounds cool.

What about refills, will we need them or is it a one time gimmick for all?
thanks

This trick sounds quite dangerous....

Quote:
A couple of heavy trucks are speeding toward each other. They meet in the middle of a highway head-on. The two trucks become a single crush of grinding metal after the collision.

When that happens with cards it’s called Autograph.
:P I like the look of it, I will definitely keep my eye on it.

Well from the description and the teaser, I'm guessing the gimmick is a double backed card. I mean it shows a double backer in the demo, so apparently that must be the gimmick that's supplied.

Well earlier when you clicked on the link above the page said that the first 100 orders would come with a free silver trick sharpie, but when I just checked it now, it's not there. So I'm not sure now.

Hi Justin,

2 question marks for you.
  1. When does this best fit in your set? Opener? Closer? Somewhere in between?
  2. (off-topic) Can you shed any light on the Infinity Thread situation?

Anniversary waltz is one of the STRONGEST effects with cards that can be done.

Autograph takes it ONE step further.

Dave Autograph is the final reworking of that effect.
There are 2 versions on the dvd.
One for beginner and one for the advanced students.

I perform autograph alsmost EVERYDAY!
I did it 5 times last night alone just being out in the world.

And the best part method wise resets INSTANTLY.

This is the real deal.

You get a FULL set of refills with the purchase of the DVD.
MOST people will not use a full set.
JM

But if you do then they are VERY easy to get a hold of.

I use this as a closer. I have found that this is VERY hard to follow.
I cannot comment on that topic right now.
