I'm not sure why this is only 10 bucks. Your not just getting the routine. You also get the pdf
which has both the routine and tips and performing advice. Highly recommended. (Palming required for
the effect, further, this effect allows you to work on your classic force without the fear of
failing). Thanks for the routine Pop!

This is a great combination of effects, it will take practice (if you are a novice)but it gives you
a few minutes of performance time with multiple surprises and an awesome ending. The additional
handlings and optional moves along with the psychology behind the effect is brilliant.

This is a very complete routine that has been perfected through thousands of performances and it
shows. Pop gives his thoughts and rationale behind the construction of the routine. That adds to
the value a lot, but the routine is already worth more than 5 stars. I don't think you can go wrong
with Pop. I only perform for fun anymore and this has been a blast to perform the few times I have
had a chance. There is required sleight of hand but it is in the begginer to lower intermediate
range and these slights and his thoughts belong in your arsenal and are likely known by most
potential buyers.
Routines like this are what we should be looking for and not giving 5 stars to
every mediocre thing that comes out. People will remember this one! It is my favorite take on the
classic "Chicago opener"...which he also teaches in the download.

Over an hour of video, and essay and PDF instruction included. Well worth it, just for the theory
alone.

There is so much on this download that comes with the workings of the actual trick. I can't really
go into it all whithout revealing the method but you get about 8 tricks and some very valuable
insights and techniques that help stengthen your sleights. There are basic moves that you already
know and some advanced stuff that you can do with practice. Pop Haydn also provides easy
alternatives for the advanced moves so that it is equally good for all levels of magicians. My only
criticism with this is that, as a download, it doesn't come with a menu to easily navigate to the
different sections but that would have bumped the price up. This is the best download I have bought
for a while and for the cost, everyone should get this. Thanks Pop Haydn!

upwards. Thanks for reminder. Worth it buy it now.

I love this trick. It's a great opener and really fools people.
We all know the Chicago Opener, but Pop's variation takes it to another level.
And
honestly, I already know how he did the trick, but I bought this anyway because of the HOUR+ LONG
video that comes with it. You learn the trick and get a great lecture from Pop that is worth the
cost of the trick all on its own.
I first saw Pop Haydn perform this on his Penguin lecture some time ago and it went straight into my
set - it always gets a great reaction! I decided to invest a few extra Dollars in this little
download and was not disappointed. Although I don't think I will change my performance of this great
effect it was wonderful finding out more about it's origins and looking at the various ways to get
into it.
Highly recommended!
A world of great magic buried in one insightful video and one manuscript. You can't lose with this
one, even if you never actually do the trick. . . but you will!
One of the strongest card
openers on the planet.
