Sometimes I have a great idea, I send it to my workshop group, and they tell me it’s been around for a while. My idea was to do a trick after revealing a card that’d been mercury folded. Occasionally, after the card has been revealed folded, someone will ask if you can fix the card. The idea that hit me the other day that if I drew lines on the back of a card with a white pen, it would look like the creases.
I could then top change the folded card for the card with the lines drawn on it. Then I could wipe the lines off, and the card is flat again!
It’s a great idea. I wish I’d been the first person to think of it. I’m still going to play with the idea.
