A Bigger Surprise - Ackerman, Guastaferro, Hamman 

Thanks Philip - Glad you liked the routine.

That was last Christmas -- I do that sometimes doing the season.

Paul glad you liked the routine. For a long time the 76 trick was my go to effect when people would ask to see some magic.

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you liked the routine

Glad you think so!

Scott - give it a try -- and check out the AI move from those notes, so much you can do with it.

Hello Ollie -- glad you are using finally matched.

Thank you! You too!

Many thanks!!

Glad you enjoyed the routine

Thanks Vinny -- agree non-gaffed and let's add in from a shuffled deck in use.

The final switch is Brother John Hamman, Signed Card. Jack loves this move as much as I do, and he has a brilliant two-phase routine in his book Modus Operandi. He called his routine, "Mysterious." It combined the Last Trick of Jacob Daley and Bother John's Signed Card. Check it out - it is a masterpiece. I have a nice version of Jack's Molly routine; I will get up on RU-vid one of these days.

@@allanackerman4848 Thanks Mr. Ackerman - I'm very familiar with Carpenter's routine Mysterious. I actually called out another magician - James Brown as it seems he "reinvented" Mysterious when he put out his Misdirection Sessions with Ellusionist. I put out my review over a year ago about it. I have no idea if he was aware that he was teaching Carpenter's routine as his own. I guess that leads to all kinds of ethical questions, but I see more and more magic released that is just rehashing of old moves/routines. People no longer are doing enough research before rushing to sell some magic effect/idea. Sometimes when something is complex and is so similar, it is hard to imagine it wasn't intentional.

Steve I agree -- but it is always fun to experiment.

I have tried it both ways -- and the transpo at the end always seemed to work better.

@@allanackerman4848 i agree, as the performance shows they expect the "mystery card" to be the card they named.
