I have a soft spot for packet tricks and have enjoyed Trost's work tremendously in the past (THE
UNKNOWN CARD, for example), but I just don't see the point of this trick. There's no real "wow" to
the finale, and while I don't have trouble using the E______ C____ to take three cards at a time
instead of two, the sleight doesn't give the audience (or the magician) much return on investment.
I on the other hand find this to be very good. I always have this packet trick in my wallet. It has served me well for many years. In concluding I lay the cards on the table, not once has anyone ever grabbed for them because they are speechless. I give it 5 stars.
