Hey ,
I want to know, have you ever fooled youself?

I mean while you was practising in front of a mirror or even during a performance? ^^
Have you wondered that the spactator is holding another card than you gave him? Etc.
I've fooled myself when I was practising the time machine card trick. I performed the moves without paying attention, so I was confused seeing the card back on top. ^^
Check out this video too

PS: sry for my bad english -.-"

Sometimes I accidentally perform double lifts and the Flusteration Count, and you can imagine how that looks...

Haha I remember practicing a a time-machine card trick routine from Card College. I fooled myself too xD

It happens sometimes, especially since if you are not really paying attention.

I wonder if that video was set up or really by accident

i'm not really sure... i think there've been times when i was practicing an effect and i was fooled... but things like that happens from time to time, the closest i ever got to fooling myself was probably pushing off 2 cards thinking it was 1( was practicing the push-off second deal)

I have fooled myself plenty of times, one of those times being when looking back the control in my 'Martin Lewis Spinner' video as it looked much better than it was supposed to look. Took its inventor and me a while to figure out what exactly happened too!
