This was my first "sleight of hand" magic trick many, many moons ago. I have performed this trick for more than twenty-five years and only recently felt the need to buy a replacement. This trick teaches the correct timing for the great utility move the "shuttle pass" but has a special "something" that makes palming unnecessary(although it can be dispensed with by more advanced performers). Terrific beginner trick when you're ready to take your first steps into the world of sleight of hand but stands the test of time as a great trick for any close-up worker. Highly recommended.
