Ok for a beginner's trick

Honestly, I wouldn't use this myself, because the methods are far too obvious for me. The location
of the card is based on a very well-known beginner-level principle. And the force used to get the
spectator to "cut" at the right spot, is a force I absolutely despise and would never use under any
circumstances. But for a beginner, this isn't a bad routine.
My advice to a beginner who wants to add this trick to his repertoire: maintain the first half of the routine, in which you have the card selected and then locate it while thumbing though the deck. But for the second half, dispense with the "counting" aspect, but keep the part of the script in which you're telling the spectator to use his intuition to find the card. At the point, let him "find" it via a riffle force. In my mind, the impact is just as good, while avoiding that "other" force method. Did this review help you?
This trick has been around for a while but it still packs a kick. The trick really is 100% impromptu
and the deck can be shuffled before hand by a spectator. Everything is so free for the spectator
which makes it more realistic. The trick is pretty easy to do and it's great when you turn over the
wrong card and they think they've stumped you but little do they know you're about to prove them
wrong. This trick usually gets excellent reactions. If you are looking to add some more impromptu
effects, pick this one up.

I am not a beginner by any means but I must admit - I have not successfully performed this trick for
crowds bigger than 5-10 people. The amount of heat that is on you in the middle of this trick
(without giving things away here) is massive. There's no sleight of hand, there's no gimmick - it's
just you and your ability to multi-task. It's a good trick but, for me, I prefer tricks that I can
perfect with my hands. Buy if you are up for the multi-tasking challenge!

Despite the reviews here, I actually had a hard time doing this trick. It doesn't require any
sleight of hand, but it does require you to do several things at once. Without giving away the
explanation, you have to find the spectators card, while pattering, while counting in your head, and
all the while the spectator is watching you for any hint in your actions that you already know what
their card is. I suppose it requires stronger acting skills than sleight of hand. For some reason,
I can't do this one very fluentl. Although I've had some pretty stunning reactions when I did do
it, the trick is quite difficult despite it not requiring any sleight of hand.

this is a great trick to do it is very immpromptu and seems to fool alot of people, the only reason
i gave 4 stars was because one part were the cards match your count, dont always match your count
and it can kinda mess you up. if that ever happens im sure you'll find a way to set it right, thats
what i did when it happens. buy now!!!
