Magic Tricks

Before I start my review I have to get one grip out of the way. It's not an any card at any number! It's a card at any number! God! Why can't people get that right?

Onto the review. It's a great trick. I'm not the type to accidentally drop my cards the way Chris is. It doesn't fit into my personal. What I do is I just go ahead and do a table shuffle. It's not as strong honestly. A large part of what makes this so strong is is his not caring casualness and making things work. You also need to be a good actor to be caught off guard on their number. If you are not the type for it to be believable that you're that clumsy or you're a bad actor you're not going to get much mileage out of this trick. If you are, you'll love it.

One other point is that while you can set it up in front of them it will take some time. It's very likely that you will never do this trick impromptu. If you're not the type to do a more than 3 second set up in front of the spectators whike you're talking don't consider this an impromptu trick. It isn't for me and it won't be for you.

I'm also unhappy with his solution for what to do if they take too many cards. Fave it. It will happen. A lot. And his solution is not a good one. You can come up with a good one, but don't use his.

Another point worth considering is that if you do it walk around you may not want to mess up the shuffle every time. People may catch on.

Chris has made a trick that fits him perfectly. It may not fit you as well. If this trick does fit you, you'll be thrilled with it.
