Hey, you posted this like 16 years ago? I thought you might like to know that even today it got watched. I came looking for a performance of this trick because I was having trouble keeping track of positions from the book. Yours might be the only one here. Nicely done, by the way.
Hey, I’m not belittling the uploader in saying this but a version you may be interested in is UK magician Michael Vincent’s. If you’re interested you can find it under the title “Michael Vincent - Scams and Fantasies”, it’s a tribute to Darwin Ortiz also.
I stopped video after 35 seconds You show 4 aces on the table, pick them up, space them out evenly then show them again then push them onto the packet you're holding then place them on the table That told me you already put the "selected" card on the bottom of the 4 aces, otherwise why show the 4 aces TWICE before progressing??? Poor handling of the cards there

This can be learnt in the book, scams and fantasies with cards, by darwin ortiz, and a tip. Instead of a zarrow shuffle at 2mins, use a strip out shuffle with a block transfer.
Good to see you're back and uploading more content. As usual, very impressive. Look forward and hope you decide to do a few more storyline based performances (God of Gamblers, The Professional are two of my favorites done by you over the years). Keep it up sir, appreciate the talent and effort shown.
Thanks for the demo. I just learned this trick and it's nice seeing it live. Don't worry about those who complain about over emphasizing the double backed cards. that's what makes it so powerful. the spectators get to handle all the double backed cards. The difficult part is handling them like their not doubles. You hesitate once and people are going to suspect something. Question: Do you do the pinky count during that one part? I'm struggling with that part myself. Again, thanks for sharing
One sloppy point about the trick, the original Joker you put into the pack of "kings" was different to the one you picked out. I know how the trick is done but you did it great nonetheless! No offence meant either :)
Thank you friend!Well I guess it might have been better if I used a "normal" presentation, but since the effect is well known and pretty easy to follow, I thought I'd present it like this to keep things simple...!Glad you liked it ! :)
Thanks a lot friend, I m really glad you liked it so much!Generally I am against posting tutorials of effects of this magnitude, here on youtube...but with a little research on Darwin's work you can find everything...!Thanks again for your nice words :))
I could see a few sleights, that I THINK was there, but ya know, theres enough movement and misdirection that I'm actually second guessing on which would have been right what so ever. This trick is amazing. I would love to learn it, but I understand why you wouldn't want to give it away!
Thank you so much for your nice words my friend...and I m really happy you enjoyed this ! Well this is basically the result of my attempt to create an as natural and "innocent" (to the spectator's eyes) sandwich effect as I could...without any obvious manipulation from the performer (cuts, shuffles, etc)...so far the feedback is going pretty well...! :))
Yo, boss, very elegant. You are at a level where I don't try to figure anything out, as the prestidigitation is more or less invisible even to my keen eye-- I just enjoy the effect. Is this original? Variation on a classic? Keep up the awesome work, amigo.
I do not want you to stop creating, just said that you should practice more your techniques. I have shown your vid to lay people and they are able to say with no doubt what are you doing all the time. Magic is for lay people, Vernon said, so you have to take care about so and not to create magic that lay people will see just as a tricky movement
Creative ideas and the will to realize them, is something completely different than the need to practice the sleights that need practicing...as constructive criticism is very different than pompous malevolent comments!My creativity will not be suppressed for the sake of NO-ONE...so apart from practicing what needs to be practiced, I will also keep on "creating" for as long as I have ideas.Have a nice day !
