The Effect
After basically disecting the deck, letting spectators seemingly take it apart and control the situation, the magician simply makes a few cuts of the cards and counts cards on the table face down with a spectator, eventually revealing the spectators two chosen cards.


Cost
only as much as a deck of cards


Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

this trick is a two, it takes a little procedure remembrance

Review
All i can say is, when this trick is done correctly, it is amazing to see
The only thing is its most effective with two spectators.

Overall
Wonderfull trick

I presume this is the Double Stop from Karl Fulves Self Working Mental Magic?

If not a little guidance as to where it might be found would be helpful!

i found it in a magic book from the fifties called The Best in Magic by Bruce Elliot

hope that helps!

Franklin V. Taylor did this version i think

Johnny Wizz.

Sure sounds like the self same one as in Karl Fulves' Self Working Card Tricks to me.
I've used it several times and even though I HATE having to handle the cards in such an overt manner, it does get results.

I think it gets results because so much goes on with the deck in the spectators hands that it seems impossible that the magician "fiddling" with it for a couple of seconds could set anything so elaborate up. False cutting before performing throws people off in my experience.
