The idea is excellent. The trick works 99.9% of the time and is guranteed to get some very excited
spectators. Their faces are literally stuck in WOW for ages after the trick.
Like many
have said the trick is great because no routine is neccessary. Somthing which i see as a Great
advantage. I hate routines personally, i just like to go with the flow.
However there is
a But..
The riffle shuffle is needed in order to make this trick work to its advantage and
if you arent that great at that type of shuffle because of either you being a magician thats mainly
coins or a total beginner or whatever, this trick is not recommended for you. In order to pull this
trick off you need to do some excellent riffle shuffles but by excellent i mean like make it seem
you do them all the time. You dont wanna really show off the riffle shuffle too much.
If
you're good at the Riffle. Its a great trick. I've used it in clubs, bars, restuarants and
college. A Truely remarkable trick. I recommend it for magicians expirienced in the hnadling of
cards.
