This is a great trick and I love the tricks where the magician appears to fail. I only took of one
star because there is a bit of deck prep required and a tiny bit of practiced sleight.
Be
careful to adapt the patter to suit your own personality and situation. I saw a young guy do this
trick using exactly Paul's patter but in a nervous hurry, without convincing acting, and it lost the
punch entirely, even though the trick was perfectly executed.
