Cody's use of the old 3 1/2 clubs card is a fairly fresh twist on it. I'm not sure how it gets him
as many "hundred dollar handshakes" as he says, but it's a fun effect.
I'm not fully
pleased with it because of two things. First, it's online streaming instructions only. That means if
you have a slow internet connection, you'll be buffering the night away.
Second, you have
to doctor the gaff to use it. Unfortunately, I didn't get it perfect so now the gaff is useless
because it sits out for most of the time during the effect so if there is anything fishy about it
you'll notice. That means doctor it perfectly or you are in trouble. I suggest practicing on regular
cards first to make sure you can do what needs to be done, then go for it with the real thing. You
get one shot to get it right, so make it count.
That being said, the effect is fairly
simple to learn and can fall into any part of your performance, though he suggests it as your closer
(thus the name).

It is nearly impossible to put a price on an effect that becomes a permanent part of your arsenal.
Cody's angle on performing this takes it away from "Aha, I fooled you good this time!" and puts
it into "Wow, where did that come from?!".
If you threw away your 3½ Clubs, you will be doing
again once you see how Cody turned it into a really surprise miracle.
A must have.

You are buying the routine. Cody Fisher sends you two 3 1/2 of club cards. They come in a case. He
also shows you how to gimmick those cards for his routine. Practice making the gimmicked cards with
indifferent cards. The force to get to 3 1/2 is basically the same. There some psychological twist
that he has in his routine. Will it be a $100 handshake for you? Probly not but, That doesn't mean
this isn't a great routine. If you want a solid routine for the 3 1/2 of clubs, this is one of the
best on the market. I've created my own stage presentation for this and I use some of the material
he provided.
It's not very different from my current 3 1/2'presentation.
Maybe a nuance here or there.
Disappointing to me.
