I was reluctant to spend $9.95 on one way to determine a randomly chosen card. But I decided if it
was good, I'd always have it with me.
The move IS good, but will take some practice. I'm 57
and my hand was tired/hurting while learning it, so I had to pause the video then resume. It's good
for old hands like mine to get a workout. I'm sure with the strengthening that will come from
practice this will be quite easy (no problem for you 20 somethings, I'm sure).
As a bonus,
there are two very nice reveals/routines that helped make this worth the price. On the first, he
does a nice job of explaining the subtitles of an effective equivoque sequence that can be used
elsewhere. I've been doing the "magicians choice" since before Ryan Schultz was born, but picked up
a tip or two I'll use.
Two last things: 1) This can be used with tons of other tricks, not
just the routines taught in the video; 2) Practice!
Thank you, David. I am more than a decade older than you and am teaching some beginner's magic to a child of 12.
My only concern about this peek routine is, that the child, as well as myself, are left-handed.
I think it is not possible for us, left-handed people, to do this pivotal peek because we hold the cards in our right hand, and there is no card value (J/Q/K/A) on the top right side of the cards.
Cartamundi, the card manufacturer company in Belgium, has the values on the 4 corners of their cards. That would be great for us but the cards aren't as good as those from The United States Card company, i.e. they do not allow to do a good flourish because their finishing touch is not good at all.
To the people moderating this:
Please, thank you in advance for correcting my sentences, because my native language is not the English one.

Very useful but will take some practice
