One of my all time favorites was just re-released!

Hello friends,

I am very excited to tell you that one of my all time favorite effects, Dominique Duviver's Printing is back on the market.

I just found out, ordered more and had our webmaster get them online.

They are not in stock yet but we should have these in house on or about 2/27/07.

This has been released several times over the years, each with something a bit different about it. (different handling, alternate handling, VHS tapes, Atlantis brand cards, Bicycle Cards, negative image back design, reverse image design, Black fabric instead of a green back print and maybe some others that I am not aware of). Anyway, all of those variations are long gone now.

Printing, is based on the classic, Wild Card but to state that it is far superior is an gross understatement. On a side note, Wild Card was so good that many versions other than the ones that I am talking about have come over the years and to this day, still continue to emerge. By the was if you ever get a chance to see Peter Samuelson perform Wild Card, do it. He is the best at it and his routine is brilliant.

Early on Daryl released Printing for Dominique Duviver and it included a simplified handling created by Daryl as well as Dominique's original handling. There was some falling out between them and Daryl went on to release his own take on it with an effect called Presto Printo. Presto Printo is still available and very popular in and of itself. While the effect is essentially the same, Darly's handling is completely different and from the spectator's point of view, visually impossible. All blank cards and one selected card. Touch the selected cards to the blanks and in turn each black becomes the image of the selection. Not like Wild Card because the cards reverse image themselves, get smudge marks on them, print back designs on top of face designs. All taking the image from the one selection.

I still have my original printing of Printing and it is well worn after many years of usage. I am glad I can get a chance to replace it now.

The new release of Printing is on Bicycle Card Stock not the more usual custom made Atlantis cards.

So check back next week to get your hands on this wonderful trick!

Thanks for reading,
Pete
