I like the concept. However, there is a major flaw. The effect consists of four Kings. He presents a patter that is based on talking to a woman and she is playing the part of the queen. In the patter, the Kings are servants to the Queen. It's just awkward. I don't think of Kings as being servants to Queens, or Queens as being servants to Kings. I would have really liked it much more if the cards were four Jacks and the patter is these Jacks are servants to either a King or a Queen. By the way, he doesn't present any patter when presenting it to a male. It could have been a really good little packet trick routine, but I have to figure out some patter and story line that I feel comfortable with and that makes sense. Also, while many people know the Elmsley count, some do not. He refers to the Elmsley count, but doesn't explain it. In other packet tricks, when they refer to a particular move, they also explain how to do the move. This could have been a much better effect if it was thought out better.
