This card trick gets a 4 star only because of its surprise ending. If it were not for that I would
rate it a 3. The routine is very ingenious and took a lot of thinking to develop. The problem is it
takes a while to do the complete routine, and each time you do a step it gives the spectator time to
think about what is happening. Anyone with common sense will probably be able to figure out the
technique involved and how it works in general: a technique used in other tricks I own that involves
spelling while counting off cards. But by using the Elmsley move at the end you can surprise
everyone watching...this makes up for the other short coming. By the way, they give you a way to do
this trick without having to use the Elmsley count. Very thoughtful.
