GIMMICK IT YOURSELF
Gimmick It Yourself is a project I have long thought about doing. These are all effects I have developed to solve a problem I have at one point thought about, or had! The idea was to provide a multi trick release that everyone should get lots out of for the same price as a normal single trick release. This project fit the bill perfectly as these gimmicks can compliment each other and provide you with some very clean and effective routines. If you are familiar with my work you will see
So what is Gimmick It Yourself exactly?
5 DIY gimmicks that are all cheap to make, effective, reliable and easy to use. Trust me, these gimmicks have saved me a couple of times over the many years of performing. For example, Enveload was developed as an easy way to load sealed envelopes with borrowed items or signed cards, (basically anything that will fit in the envelope!) because I left my JOL wallet at home when I was working on a cruise ship for two weeks. SOS was a ring flight I have used that is completely secure, in fact it is secured on a Sharpie lid with Duct Tape. That's what SOS stands for, secured on Sharpie.
Well I could bore you more but below are all the gimmick descriptions and what they do.

Well I could bore you more but below are all the gimmick descriptions and what they do.
Off Balance - A simple gimmick that is easy to use that will give you that extra element of ‘magic along the way’ whilst you perform. You can use this gimmick to impossibly suspend pens, borrowed glasses or sunglasses or even a fork on your extended fore finger. So simple and easy to use and all objects that can be suspended can be borrowed and examined immediately afterwards. The perfect trick when you are out for a drink with your friends this Summer.
SOS - Ring Flight is a classic effect, yet many people worry about using it in case something went wrong. This is a great alternative where you can be sure that the spectator’s ring is safe as the ring ends up secured to a clip of a Sharpie by Duct Tape! Thats right! Borrow a ring, completely vanish it (no palming you can show your hands completely empty), you turn around to show a Sharpie is poking out of your back pocket, when you remove it the spectator’s ring is impossibly secured to the clip of the Sharpie lid with Duct Tape!
Stash - This is a simple hold out for playing cards (or any other card for that matter). It is very simple to use, any card can loaded straight into this gimmick without fuss to be held out whilst your spectator shuffles the cards. Also use it to hold out gimmicked cards or small stacks of cards, for example you can hold out Aces whilst your spectator shuffles or the cards needed for Chicago Opener. I originally developed this to be used in conjunction with Daniel Madison’s Advocate this can help give you the clean hands you desire before producing the thought of card.
Shadow Envelope - This is a prediction envelope, pure and simple. A sealed envelope is held up to a light, it is clear that a single card or piece of paper of some sort is inside the envelope. Some sort of choice is made, whether a word is thought of or a card freely selected and signed, it matters not. When the envelope is opened, the contents are removed and shown to be the spectator’s signed card, or a business card with the word the spectator thought of written on it is removed. Once the item is removed the envelope is of course shown completely empty.
Enveload - This is a gimmick you can make in a minute or two, for about 10p, that can act as an alternative to the very expensive wallets on the market that have an envelope load function. You can use it to load sealed envelopes with: signed cards, rings, necklaces, predictions, bank cards, basically anything that can fit in an envelope you can load, in an instant all without the need for a wallet that costs a fortune. The perfect gimmick to get you out of a sticky situation if you go to a gig like me... Sans Jerry... :(
ROUTINES TAUGHT
In addition to all the gimmicks I teach several routines that are all easy and commercial, here is a list of what routines are taught on Gimmick It Yourself.
SOS Full Jazz Style Routine - A full routine for SOS where the ring vanishes and reappears a few times before ending up secured on the Sharpie.
SOS Full Jazz Style Routine - A full routine for SOS where the ring vanishes and reappears a few times before ending up secured on the Sharpie.
Enveload Birthday Trick - A commercial signed card and banknote to envelope trick that has a kicker finish. Perfect for any occasion.
Shadow 'Any Word' Prediction - A super simple streamlined 'any word' prediction routine you can use with the Shadow Envelope.
Shadow Bluff - A bold (and practically un-gimmicked) 100% examinable way to make a Shadow Envelope.
Bonus Signed Card in Spectators Wallet - A Signed Card to Spectator's Wallet routine that is simple and easy.
Stash Super Simple 4 Ace Production - The most basic of basic 4 Ace productions.
Stash Your Card - A great card effect with fire and a surprise finish.
Stash 3 Attempts - A spectator's 3 Failed attempts to find their card actually turns out to be 3 perfect choices.
FULL DISCLOSURE Please note:
If you bought my Any Word PDF release years ago there is a quick description within that PDF of my first gimmicks for Enveload and Shadow. This is a much more comprehensive look into these gimmicks with many improvements. Also the routine taught in Shadow is a streamlined version of Any Word that requires no force. I wanted to include this in blurb to be open and transparent with you all.

Not as Smart or Interactive as You Think it Will Be
Color: Blue
This is an honest review from a schnauzer owner who has has wanted this cheerble ball for their dog for more than one year. I finally bougI finally bought this toy and both me and my dog are disappointed. The settings are...i would say dog friendly as I'd assumed a dog ball would be. What I mean by that is, for example: the calm play setting is muuch too calm. Super light puffs of energy, like a battery is dying. And the playful setting is scary, alarmingly so. The intervals in between are too long. The ball does not bounce. So they just have settings all wrong. The size is good for a large dog only. Do not buy if you have a small to medium dog. I even think the material is okay. I've only had it for a few days so I can't even speak to how the material holds up. Really hoping to love this ball for my dog. It was not the distraction I was hoping it would be so I could work from home while my dog had fun. I'm hoping this can help someone else who's been pining over it. Essentially, it's a $35-$50 well made weighted ball that moves occasionally.

Perfect Size for Tiny Dogs
Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher, Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
Excellent size for tiny dogs who can only manage the tiny tennis balls. The launcher is easy to use, even for my 8 year old. It’s pretty much revolutionized ball time for the dogs and the kids - they actually like taking him out to play fetch now. It’s super light but still lets you toss the balls a lot farther than just throwing it. Great value for your money and it’s helps strong for weeks of repeated used, super durable.

Great for small dog fetch
Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
We love this for keeping our hands clean and saving our shoulders while playing fetch. Not sure why this size is so incredibly difficult to find (not in any stores in our area). It fits both the small rubber and tennis ball types. We have a 15lb rat terrier, and he loves it.

Ball is very small
Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
It says it’s for small dogs up to 15LB. My doggie is 15 LB and this is way small. It’s a tiny ball. If your dog is 12LB to 20LB I would get the next size up to small.
