Pros: its clever and works exactly as shown in the video. Its not a difficult learn. Nothing overly
complicated. Novice could learn this with a couple hours practice. Experienced could perform this
after about 20min.
Cons:You do need to limit and control how much handling the spectator
has on the cards. There is a tactile aspect to this that if you allowed the spectator enough
handling they can catch on pretty quick.
That said, I've been doing card magic for 20+
years and do not forsee having any issues with the spectator handling their selection and shuffling.
A couple hand gestures to nudge the spectator to handle the card and cards the way you need for the
VERY SHORT TIME they handle the cards and no one is catching on.
I debated on 4 or 5 stars
and because there is a little spectator managing required to get the full effect I went with 4
instead of 5.
I'd still recommend this to anyone who watched the video and wants to
perform this routine
