This is an amazing must-have utility move.
Can be used with any deck, deck can be borrowed,
there are no gimmicks, and you don't need sleeves, it is completely impromptu. It is not for
beginners though. Luke assumes you already know quite a bit about card handling and false shuffling.
If you have experience with false shuffles already I would definitely recommend getting it.
If you are totally new to false shuffles this will probably be too hard for you, you should wait
until you gain some experience before purchasing.

Here we go!
As with all of Lukes products, the SOTC has style, and it is fooling. Also,
typical Luke, the concept is easy to understand but a challenge to get smooth. If you are looking
forward to execute this cut like Luke does in the video, prepare for lots of practice (don't get of
wrong. That's not a bad thing!), at least if you are new to the old techniques he combines.
Luke teaches the push through shuffle kind of briefly and in my opinion directs you to other
sources if you want to learn it. In my opinion, if you pay 10 bucks to learn a cut, you surely want
to get a thorough explaination of the whole thing.
That is pretty much the only drawback I
can think of. Maybe this isn't for the minimalists out there, because the cut doesn't look very
familiar to the average spec. But this you need to decide when you watch the video. A good magician
fooler, if you like those ;)

Teaching: Standard Luke Jermay teaching, Luke goes over the entire shuffle and cut and explains each
move in tons of detail. 10/10
Quality of materials(if it is a gimmik etc): No gimmicks
needed this can be used with your deck or even a borrowed deck.
Difficulty: This isn't
something you'll learn in an afternoon, however if you take the time to practice the shuffle (which
I found was the hardest part) it will be well worth it 5/10
Applications: Perfect for
gambling applications, "Sam the Bellhop"-esque routines, or anything where you need to give the
appearance that the entire deck is in order.
Overall Rating: This is one of my personal
favorite false shuffles and cuts around, I use it all of the time . 9/10

Some really great slight of hand moves here. The Strip out triple cut(which is what you paid for) is
awesome, but to do it you must perform two other moves which have already existed for a long time.
Luke Jeramy teaches you both, so really, you are getting three slights for the price of one!
One warning: Jeramy assumes you know a thing or two about card mechanics and doesn't bother to
explain a couple things so be prepared to do a little bit of figuring out on your own.
But
pretty much, totally worth it! Buy it!

I like it but it takes a long time to make it look as good as it can be but after you get this down
it is a killer false shuffle that WILL fool the most seasoned card shark.

I enjoyed learning this tidbit of card handling. The uses for this are plentiful. I managed to get
it when it was $5 and consider it well worth my money.

Luke teaches you a great utility move wich you can insert anywhere in your existing card routines.
Dont use this as a trick in itself, use it to enhance your magic.

I bought this with doubt because I was afraid it was going to be way to hard to do. I was wrong! I
am mainly a card magician so this basically came naturally, but I was still impressed. 5 Minutes of
practice and it's good.
