Cody's use of the old 3 1/2 clubs card is a fairly fresh twist on it. I'm not sure how it gets him
as many "hundred dollar handshakes" as he says, but it's a fun effect.
I'm not fully
pleased with it because of two things. First, it's online streaming instructions only. That means if
you have a slow internet connection, you'll be buffering the night away.
Second, you have
to doctor the gaff to use it. Unfortunately, I didn't get it perfect so now the gaff is useless
because it sits out for most of the time during the effect so if there is anything fishy about it
you'll notice. That means doctor it perfectly or you are in trouble. I suggest practicing on regular
cards first to make sure you can do what needs to be done, then go for it with the real thing. You
get one shot to get it right, so make it count.
That being said, the effect is fairly
simple to learn and can fall into any part of your performance, though he suggests it as your closer
(thus the name).
