"The Journals of Professor Moriarty: The Perfect Act Project"

I think this post speaks for itself readers... If You may be interested in knowing a little bit more about this project of mine feel free to contact me privately and I shall forward you the Private documment on account that You keep it that way.

January 27, 2014:

I’ve decided to embark on a research journey with one objective, finding the most powerful versions of the most powerful effects of the past 2 centuries. Originally, I had limited my research to only the past century, but a friend pointed out to me that “Everywhere and nowhere” by Dr Nepomuk Hofsinzer was worthy of inclusion, so I extended it to the last 200 years.

It all started out of a common belief that magicians should only perform the strongest tricks that they know, so I thought to myself, if that’s true then why shouldn’t I  try to find the most powerful magic there is and ultimately compose a show that would constitute the magicians’ dream act.

Now that I think about it, I fancy that name quite a bit, so that shall be the title given to this present project.

Last but by no means least; I should clarify that I will limit my research to the field of card magic, since this is my preferred practice.

I present to whoever’s reading my journals, “The Magicians’ Dream Act”

            

The list of effects with which I start is the following:

            

            Emotional Reaction by Dai Vernon

            Triumph By Dai Vernon

            Out of This World by Paul Curry

            Be Honest, What is it? By Eddie Fetcher

            Any Card at Any Number

            The Travelers by Dai Vernon

            The Ambitious Card by Dai Vernon

            Cutting the Aces by Dai Vernon

I shall limit myself to the few items mentioned above just for the sake of practicality, If one were to list every great effect of the 20^th century, one would probably have to stay awake for more than it’s humanly tolerable. It’s my intention to compose one or several acts using the effects listed within these pages, in fact, as I am typing this one act has already come to mind and I shall describe it immediately

           

Act #1:

“Subliminally Yours”

The following is a 10-15 minute act composed of 3 of the items above mentioned, those effects are: Emotional Reaction, Be Honest, What is It? And Out of This World

The first of the three items has been brought to my attention by the amazing Jared Kopf in the sense that He was that convinced me to track the original source and try it out on people, well performed, it’s one of the strongest items one can do with a pack of cards.

The second effect is one that I perform almost daily and it was taught to me by the man who I consider to be my mentor, Mr. Michael Vincent from London.

The third effect is not one I perform but I think it’s one of the strongest effects ever created. Besides, the fact that it takes place entirely in the spectator’s hands makes it the perfect closer for this set...
