I forgot where I read this tip for the Bobby Bernard false cut. It was suggested to a, bit messily, dribble the cards from hand to hand, don't square them, and do the cut. It gives a solid reason for the tapping action because you're squaring the cards at that point.
Very nice move. For the reveal of 2nd trick you could say "I like to find your card by fanning the deck. No, not this way (show regular fan) ... but this way with one card (and do your spin & riffle schtick)."
I've been using this cut for awhile I like using it to start off the ambitious card routine but I've combined the ambitious card with 3 pack monte and this cut helps with the effect a lot
Love this Sean. I'm still of the opinion that Card College 1-5 is the best set of books for any aspiring card magician to buy. Thanks for sharing. Sorry, I've been absent things have been crazy here lately.
