Flaunt
Titanas
(Based on 1 review)
PROBLEM: You want to do the rising card ANYWHERE!
You want to perform it fully surrounded, in REAL WORLD CONDITIONS!
You need it to work perfectly TIME AND TIME AGAIN!
Titanas (Creator of a list of hits like TITANS FINGER and FADE) has taken the rising card, spun it on its head and fired it out in a totally new direction!
Those of you who are familiar with Titanas's creative style, will know how he loves to take a classic magicians prop that most of us already own, and rework it in a whole new way.
With Flaunt, Titanas, has taken a classic gimmick, thrown away all normal reasons magicians own and use it, and put it to work 'outside the box' The result is a technique that fools even magicians who own the 'old style' rising deck gimmicks.
Already do a rising card routine? Do you actually USE it? Chances are, it's gathering dust in your 'magic draw'. But how about if Titanas taught you a way to do the rising card
WITHOUT STRINGS
WITHOUT THREADS
WITHOUT MAGNETS
WITHOUT MECHANICS
WITHOUT ELECTRONICS
YET...
YOU CAN DO IT SURROUNDED
NO NEED TO USE A SILK
IT RESETS INSTANTLY
THE SPECTATOR CAN CHOOSE ANY CARD
THEY CAN SIGN THE CARD
No matter if your new to magic or a working pro, take a few moments to check out the demo performance of Flaunt. You will be glad you did!
Titanas sits down with you one2one, and takes you though the whole effect, he leaves nothing out, and you not only get this routine, but all the little tips and subtle points, that you only find out from doing a routine over and over again 'in the trenches'.
Includes Gimmick Deck!
'Titanas, Big thanks for teaching me Flaunt. Last night I performed at the Excellence in Policing Conference. I tried out Flaunt at the tables and they loved it! Many of the UK's top criminal investigators were attending, but Flaunt left them WITHOUT A CLUE!' - Dominic Reyes

The first thing you should do is watch the video demo of this trick. Flaunt is yet another version of the rising card, and if you find yourself knocked out by the demo, then keep reading. If your reaction is luke warm, go with your gut and look elsewhere.
Still with me? Fine. Now carefully read the dealer's description of Flaunt. Come back when you've done that.
You should know that there are several problems with the description. First, Flaunt is not a "totally new direction." As noted by an addendum to the DVD you get with the product, it's a reinvention of Fred Robinson's Hanky Rise. (Published in Magic of Fred Robinson.)
Next, while the spectator can sign the card, realistically you probably won't want to perform it that way because the deck is specially manufactured.
In the description, "no need to use a silk" and "you can do it surrounded" are mutually exclusive. In fact, without the silk, you'll have to manage your angles very carefully.
I agree that Titanas does a good job of discussing the trick and he doesn't seem to leave anything out of the description, but in my opinion the discussion is flawed. In the video, Titanas is alone and thus has to awkwardly describe, not demonstrate, several important spectator management techniques. Having a second person present so we could see the techniques in action would greatly improve the instruction.
The DVD also has a technical problem that made it unusable in my DVD player. My computer was able to play it, but knowing a little about how DVDs are supposed to be constructed, I was able to spot the problem when I examined the files on the disc. (In brief, the content is duplicated three times and should be there only once.) On the positive side, I was impressed that Titanas found a DVD case that neatly holds both the disc and a full deck of cards.
For the price, Flaunt isn't such a bad deal, considering that it comes with a common gimmicked deck. (A deck, by the way, that can be used for some other, fantastic tricks.) But it probably should have been submitted to MAGIC or Genii instead of peddled to people who don't like to read.
