Triumph is my absolute go to card trick. I’ve performed it thousands of times over the last almost
30 years. The first version I learned was taught to me by Baffalo Bill at the Cu Coo’s Nest in
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (thanks Bill!).
I’ve tried several versions since then and always
go back to Bill’s method.
But I will definitely use Nathan’s handling to take it to the
next level. The fact that the spectator can shuffle is revolutionary! I do think that instead of
shuffling under the table, I will shuffle and have the spectator shuffle in a large black satin bag
or pillow case on the table itself.
Nathan is a great teacher and he takes the time on
this download to really go over some of the finer details and nuances.
It’s a great effect
and I don’t know why I didn’t think of this! I’ve always handled the cards casually and as openly as
possible, but this added layer of the spectator handling the cards takes it to a whole new level.
The one caution I have for those considering this purchase is that there is a little bit of
management to do, to keep your volunteer from either seeing how it’s done or messing it up
altogether. But it’s very easy and good practice to build up chops for other effects that require
more intense audience management.
Great stuff Mr Kranzo!
