Huron Low - Fire in the Hole



The Effect
What you will need to perform Fire In The Hole:
A Deck of cards, A Pen, A craft/pen knife, Tape, Optional: Flash Paper, Cutting Board.

Basic Gimmick:
The construction of this gimmick is extremely easy, I dont think there is anyone on the planet who cant make this. Huron doesn’t go into to much detail because, well its that easy to make. Not much more I can say about it until the method of Basic FiTH. 
(For this one, only one spectator can sign the card on the back, and then you sign the other signature)

Advance Gimmick #1
This gimmick is slightly different from the Basic Gimmick, but again very easy to make, the reason it is different is so the effect is more convincing. The only downside to this gimmick is that it might not last as long as the basic one. But it can still be put through a few performances (It all depends on how well you look after it really, like I guess the Distortion Gimmick)

(For this one, only one spectator can sign the card on the back, and then you sign the other signature)

Advance Gimmick #2
This gimmick is (accordingly) the magician fooler one, it is pretty much exactly the same as the AG#1 but it has 3 small differences. Again, very easy to make, have I already said that? 

(This is the gimmick which allows 2 spectators to sign the card, and they choose which signature to cut out.)

Handling/Method
Ok, for the handling/method, on the DVD there are two ways to watch it, from the front, or from Huron’s Point Of View. Each view basically goes over the same thing, but there are some things that are only said in one of the view (like small tips) and also things that you might not have been able to see. As Huron says in “Advice on Learning” it is wise to watch both views.

(Of course, the 3 different non-fire methods are included as well as the 3 fire methods, so there are 6 methods of FiTH )

Basic Handling.
The basic handling goes over the set up, going into the routine and how to do the move (Inverse Spider man). This section of how to do FiTH is the most detailed so you might be watching this a few times, even if your doing the other 2 fire methods. Yeah, basicaly this goes over everything to perform this effect.

There are no major slieghts accept for the ISP move. At the moment I cant really do it well, but I think its cause Im using really old cards, so I need to whip out a fresh pack. UPDATE: I spoke to a friend who also go this today and told me how he does the move, and now I can do quite easily, if any one need any help PM me.

Advance Handling #1
“This handling is more of a sublty with a really nice convincer, rather than a change in handling”. This handling is very, very nice. For this one, you actually get to see the piece being pulled out from the card. Basicly, the method is exactly the same as the basic method, but with the extra bit of holding up the card and taking the piece. This handling also uses the ISP move.

Advance Handling #2
“This is the thing that fools everybody, fools all the magicians” This is the hardest handling, but it allows you to let 2 spectators sign the card and let them choose which signature they can cut out. The begining of the trick is the same, untill it gets to the signing part. Its pretty easy until just after you ask which signature they want to cut out. There is a certain move that you have to do so that they can check that the cut out piece is their’s. The move can be broken down into to parts, the first is really easy and doesnt take much effort, the next part will require a small bit of mis-direction. The move isnt obvious as it is hidden under the misdirection, I highly doubt you will get caught doing the move. 

(Its really hard to describe this move without exposure, but before doing this method, you will need to try something out on your friends/family first).

Lets move on. Once you do this move, after that it is exactly the same as the other advance method. Not much to it besides that move up there.

Cleaning Up
As you know this efect needs a gimmick and yes you will need to clean up. The clean up is done in 3 simple moves. The Fold. The Brush. And The Ditch. (Huron doesnt call it that, but I do) Their not hard moves to do, although it will require some work, lie checking in the mirror, video camera, or how ever you check a slieght when you practise it. Anyone who owns a card gimmick will probably not have much trouble with this as I've seen this clean up/moves in some other routines.
