This is clever thinking. Another reviewer criticized the effect for being over complicated,
especially when compared with Jay Sankey's 'Paperclipped'. That's a good point but I personally
think this effect's real strength is in the fact that the spectator is lulled into a somewhat
relaxed state once the first card is shown to match his selection. When the second card turns out
to BE his actual signed card, the impact is greater because of the first reveal. (At least that's
what I think.) I usually try not to review an effect unless I've actually tried it out on an
audience first (hence the 4 stars), but I do think this one is simple enough in it's concept and
explanation that I can safely say I plan to use this one.
