I'm always impressed by the amount of thought you put into your discussions. Your teaching background really comes through in how well you're able to get your ideas across. Your point about Going Home is spot on. I've done it for my partner, and for some time after, when I did a different trick she would reference that as something she knew I could do while trying to puzzle out methods.
I know methods aren't what's important to your thesis here, but I wonder if one was to just do one trick with the plot you illustrated, is it a "bad trick" to make use of a 1W deck in order to pull it off? "Name" a card, pull that card out of your pocket, and then order some chicken wings. Why not? Along those lines, there was a ACAAN routine on Fool Us a bit back which for me could only have been performed with the use of an accomplice, and doing so would not (IMO) have violated the "no stooge" rule, either. Let's say, for example, that you call two spectators up, one names a card, one names a number, and then the person who named the card deals down to the named number and voila, there's the named card. If the person who named the number was an accomplice and knew a stack... would that be a "good trick?" The card was freely chosen, after all...
@@flparg2 Yes, that's the one, but no, I don't think the mic thing had anything to do with the effect. They said there was some audio issue with the mic and they had to reshoot it, but nothing else changed and I believe them. It does explain, however, the lack of surprise from the audience when the card was at the number.
@ahsv64 The ACAAN on Fool Us did not utilize a confederate or accomplice (stooge). There are unique ways to accomplish what she did, but it would be unsatisfactory to most as a method. I have not heard this thing about reshooting that performance. But I do know that magicians will say anything to hide their methods and throw off the proverbial scent.
@@thecommonmagicianMy whole “have an accomplice name the Mnemonica stack number that matches the card named“ was just hypothetical. I just wondered if that would still be considered a “good trick” for the sake of this discussion. If method is no consideration…

If you are taking about the one with the young lady magician there is something odd with her microphone and the way she asks the guests to no react...

@ahsv64 People have certainly performed material in that way before.
