Just keep dabbing your finger on the glue, eventually you'll reduce the stickiness to almost nothing with the natural oils from your skin. In fact you only need a very small amount in the first place, just enough to keep the cards together when they're being moved around.

yes i understand.

The good thing about this glue is if yu press hard enough and rub it hard enough, it eventually all comes of, so you can start again, it doesn't mess the card up or nothing.

Is this glue used in any other card tricks? i may have to buy them just so i can use this glue!

sorry to resurrect an old post but this has just been re-released, apparently after having been unavailable for a number of years.

I bought this earlier in the week from World Magic Shop who are charing £15 now and it's gone down fantastically well werever I've perfromed it.

Highly recommended

Don't be sorry about resurrecting it ;-)

It was unavailbale for a while but now it is back... better than ever! The insturctional DVD goes ito the handling and presentation much better than the original instructions ever did. There are also performance tips and ideas to help you get the most from the effect.

I should also point out that it's available from me directly at www.onlinemagicshop.co.uk for £12 + P&P

As an aside, I've put something on the packaging that, as far as I'm aware, has never been done before for a magic product. I would like to think other creators and dealers will follow suit...

Finally got round to ordering this (direct from Jon's website), as a treat for doing the hoovering.

Been meaning to get it for aeons.

Does anyone find that the punter turns the cards over too early? I used to find that with DDLT from time to time and I can see it being an issue for me with Double Back. It's a spec management issue of course, but does anyone have any specific tips on avoiding this problem?

I couldn't figure out whether they were turning them over to try to catch me out or because they thought they were supposed to.
