Lots of useful information. Special thanks for the The Courtesy Flush by Craig Stegall, for the new
way of doing the trick. I always did it a way different from this one described in the magazine.
Here is take (not realy mine but as I saw it earlier on TV) - instead of the Ace of Spades there
appears a "magical" 5 of Spades on the top of the fourth stack of cards, so laymen think you have
done a mistake. But you snap your fingers and countdown face down on the table 5 more cards from the
stack the 5 of spades laid on, and the fifth card there is an Ace of Spades. Then you take the Ace
of Spades and turn over whith it the four dealt cards (which are from 10 to King of spades) showing
"Flush Royal" saying it's good we don't play poker. )) I think "my take" is rather more magical way
of demonstrating the trick and yours one looks more professional, showing yourself more as a card
shark if you understand what I'm talking about.
Thank you for this gift, Penguin!
Wow! What a killer idea, Dimitry! I'd have never thought of that in a million years, but I'm really thankful you shared it because I'm DEF going to give your spin a try next time because I'd imagine that last phase gets gasps when the R Flush is revealed! Great thinking, my friend. Keep those ideas flowing!

Thank you Craig for the comment! It's a pleasure for me you liked the idea. As for me I always like tricks with an aproach "magician in trouble" with twisted endings such as - "RF" appears or for example four jacks change for any other four of a kind. Once again thank you and "Penguin" for the trick!
