Joining a local magic society is the best thing for you.. I'm sure the trick you was asking about should be known by the senior magicians ?Liam57 wrote:Thanks for the reply guys.

He done a trick where every seat had an envelope with 4 flyers in it (everybody had the same 4 flyers in the same order) he got everyone to rip them in half then put one half of a flyer in their pocket and then mix the rest up pass left pass right etc and eventually you were left with one half which then matched the half you had in your pocket?
Can anyone name this trick or even better explain to me how it is done?
Thanks

I'd also really recomend having a hunt on YouTube for David Berglas' chair test if you really want to see how it should be done . I'm not sure I'd use on as an opener though, they can be a little too drawn out in my opinion but great as a mid set routine or a closer.
