I love routines with a simple premise, involve the audience in a playful way (as opposed to using
them as a prop), use a deceptive method and can be done impromptu.
That may sound like a lot
of requirements, but I enjoy the process of writing a script and choreographing these type of
routines, so theyturn into an excellent experience for the audience. Paul Curry's A Swindle of
Sorts is in that spectrum, as is this routine.
This is not the type of routine that is
completely selfworking. You will need to master some, albeit it simple, techniques, use your brain
to remember certain things and practice to you will feel comfortable executing it. Just practice and
you'll be fine.
HAving said that. The routine and premise make a lot of sense and provide you
with automatic coverage, and opportunities to recover if you happen to make a mistake. Patrick
explains every detail in a very clear way.
I can immediately add it to my list of strong
impromptu card tricks.
Very nice blend of drama and impromptu magid
