Peter Youngs, I'm sorry to hear you didn't like this effect. Or more so the method. Have you actually performed this? If not, then I suggest you do, it really does work great and always leaves your spectator's perplexed. If you have performed it, and you didn't get a good reaction from your spectators, then that really is on you. I've been praised by well known magicians as having created a real evolution of the original Matchbox Monte with this effect. If it works well for me and them, then any problem you have with it is down to you.
