Magic Tricks

This has become one of my favorite routines from P. Nardi and friends. The principle here is simple and deceptive. And it is a bargain at Penguin. This routine hits hard, and it's a lot of bang for your buck. Some disadvantages for some people since deck can't be examined, though you can flash the faces around at people. (Who's really trying to look hard at the cards at this point? Keep talking and direct attention at a couple of spectators. You know, good old misdirection.) The DVD is excellent with several routines that make this one even more deceptive. Mark Elsdon turns this into a mentalist routine, an approach that really appeals to me. Great stuff!
