The truth is that this trick may not be for everybody. The initial move/sleight takes some chutzpah and charm to pull off. There may be instances where those are really put to the test and may take some practice to keep it above suspicion that is missed on the video. However, it is nicely addressed in the discussion area. So if you are the nervous type showing your stuff, stay clear. But if you have the guts to try the simple and bold move, this has some punch when you reach the end. Unquestionably, this makes a great and powerful opener, especially if you use a borrowed deck. Maybe if you follow this with the "opposite" effect like Aaron Fisher's Search and Destroy, I couldn't think of a better one-two punch to draw in your audience and leave them feeling good.

Thanks for your comments, William. I don't really think it's a "gutsy" trick. It is a very safe procedure that you can truly rely on. Once you learn it, you can always make it better in so many subtle ways, as happens with any trick.
