Nevermind the "couldn't see the link" - it's fine, now.

Excellent work! This is one of my favorite Guastaferro effects to perform. The "all backs" phase loses some of it's strength without patter. This is mostly due to the lack of explanation - without the patter, the presentation of the cards can be confusing. However, from a technical standpoint, you performed it flawlessly.

When you perform this for a spectator, do you perform the final phase, or do you end where you did in the video?

Great work!

Thanx for your comments Demitri...

Actually I rarely end with his ending...I do have my own version though where you go thru the process of cards changing once more but this time they change one by one into aces...it "milks" the effect even more....

But I agree..this has to be one of my favorite effects...I'm a huge fan of John's work..His "Second Storm" lecture notes are amazing as well..so simple yet so powerful....

From what I hear he'll be filming a new set of DVDs very soon....

Wow... very, very impressive. I'm not going to even guess at how that one works...
How much practice did it take to learn that one?

very well done, i also like all of Guastaferro´s work.

Thanx guys...

@eightBall.....well this is one of my favorite tricks....it doesn't require too much practise if you know some basic sleights like ATFUS and Elmsley....
