First of all, I love Matthew Johnson.
His presentation is so clear and well thought out.
He
is an excellent teacher.
I like that he gave a bit of history and credit to the originator.
This routine is excellent.
It might seem long but the beauty is that there is
tension throughout the act. People are watching, tension builds and finally getting all the cards
correct is a nice climax where everyone will release the pressure and laugh and applaud.
It's a good routine to mix in with some fast ones to change the pace of your entire act.
Stage or Street: It's Great
I agree with you about Matt. I love his teaching, too; and I love the routines he has done for Penguin! I have a number of them, and they are all great effects, easy to perform, and good crowd pleasers. Thanks for the comment on the tension in the routine. That sold me and I have just placed my order.
