Takes some determined practice that is worth it.

I first came across a version of this effect, in a book by Ellis Stanyon. That book, was published
in the 1920's. The effect itself may be much older. Stanyon's version is minimal, discreet, and
works well. The get ready and cleanup was not smooth and I think needed further refinement. More
current versions of this effect, have not been so clean. One I saw has a bulky device loaded into a
deck and was too difficult to get working. Because the effect itself is so stunning, I've kept my
eyes open for an effective and clean version. HERE IT IS-!
Clean from beggining to end. The
tutorial covers all relevant details, including a way to have one card slide from one end if the
spread to the other. What makes this possible is easily found, and under 5$. The way it's utilized
here, it's as though it were made only for this trick! What's best I think, is that by the time the
spectator touches the deck youv'e just closed...your'e already clean! Any deck can be used, so long
as it spreads easily.
Far as I am concerned, THIS solution to the effect is one I can settle
on-for me, it covers all the bases!

This is super practical for everyday use by both the working magician as well as the hobbyist
magician. There is a wide range of things that can be done using just this one effect. It's also
relatively easy to perform. I'm super happy with this product I genuinely couldn't recommend this
enough! The tutorial for it is also well done! Jared Arroyo did an excellent job!

I for one love Jared’s handling and creativity. A MUST BUY for aspiring magicians and cardists
alike.

Loved this! The secret is very deceptive and is perfect for table to table work. I'd say this is
definitely not a stage trick but it is very versatile for anywhere else. Good work!

I’ve been looking for a product like this for a LONG time now and I’m finally satisfied with one
“ROSTRUM” the stuff you need is really easy to find and will only cost u 2 bucks or so.
Pros:
you can have a card selected (even force a card from an open spread)
You can slide a card from
the top to the bottom of the spread
Cons: N

Rostrum is the best piece of magical art I’ve ever witnessed and its very existence stands to
inspire generations if young magicians who will be entranced by its elegance and effect and it has
personally changed my life in essence.
