Ridiculous ending, but hey...it's TV.

Some nice moves there, but I think the strength of a 3CM routine is that you are sure the money card is in one place, and then it's not!

All those pretending to switch the cards, and the gamblers throw, just confuse the issue, and make you think... "maybe I wasn't watching right, and he just switched it".

In my 3CM everything is clear... it's definitely there - and then... it's not.

I have to agree with that, but could you not mix in the double lifts etc to get the same effect? The TCM was the first thing I learnt, but I like the idea of spicing it up, but only a little bit :wink: So...90% 'traditional' with maybe one move using the DL to throw people off?

I didn't know who he was at the time, but I just saw Derek DelGaudio today in Hollywood. He watched my sidewalk show and we even chatted afterwards.
