There are too many problems with this routine that keep me from recommending it. The issue is the
gaff. Because of its construction, your angles are horrible. Secondly, because of the way it
works, it forces you to handle cards in a way that looks, and even sounds, unnatural. You might get
away with that kind of move once, but when you have to keep doing it over and over again, it's going
to become obvious to the spectator that somehow the method is relying on that.
The
original classic matrix routine is not all that difficult. The sleights are basic and certainly not
beyond anyone's capability. And to be honest, even though you could say Impossible Matrix doesn't
require sleights, the handling of the gaff is a little awkward and finicky, so it doesn't really
seem any easier than employing basic sleights.
