Flushtration Count A Must Do! Report this review

I absolutely LOVE this effect. Regarding the discrepancy a few people have mentioned. Yes- there is a discrepancy, just like there’s one in the elmsley count, (seeing the first card twice)- but will not be noticed by the spectator. Gary says in the tutorial that a flushtration count is not necessary, but I believe it is VITAL that you do the count. I am not trying to say that I disagree with Gary- he is one of my favorite magicians and I’m just a hobbiest/light performer- I just feel that being able to show the spectator “all” 4 jokers is a must and immediately hides any discrepancies because the spectator SEES “all” 4 jokers (or whatever 4 cards you use). I also feel that this is “move quickly” type effect- don’t rush through it, but when I do this effect I move at kind of a quick pace (don’t think before you do any moves- just do them) and that hides any discrepancy even more. This effect is dead easy to do, and when Gary says there is barely any sleight of hand let me tell you there is next to nothing regarding any sleights here. I just hand the deck to someone and tell them to grab any 4 cards and sign them which adds to the effect and even better if 4 different people sign each card. You won’t be disappointed with this great little packet effect!!!
