I bought this from Henry at Magic Live (sorry, Penguin!) and it works (with no sleight of hand!)
just as you see on the video. To me (and I've been into magic for 60+ years) this is almost a new
principle, or at least a take (and expansion) on an old one.
And even after watching the
instructional video and seeing the deck, I still wondered if it would work--but it does, perfectly!
And yes, it even passed the wife test--she just shook her head after watching, and said, "I've given
up on trying to figure these out . . ."!!!
