If you want to perform it exactly as in the video with the deck coming out in new deck order and the
missing card fitting in that spot, you will have to be able to execute a perfect faro. If you can't,
they do offer a sleight-free version, but it doesn't end with the deck in new deck order and, to me,
is a weaker version of Triumph than the original. You cannot use the deck for any other effects, and
it can't stand any scrutiny at all. There is also some minor craft work you will have to do to one
of the cards, and one of the people in the video even talks about how he messed up badly trying to
do this the first time to a card. That just seems like you should fix the cards before sending them
out.
If you can execute a perfect faro, this is a wonderfully visual trick. If you don't
have that ability, then skip this one and just do a regular Triumph routine so you can use your deck
for other effects later rather than have to switch it out.
Looks good but has limitations
