Imagine.

Four aces are shown and counted one by one. Three of these aces are left face down on the table, and the remaining ace is placed in the middle of the deck sticking out. The three aces on the table are set on top of the deck, and they instantly dissapear. The ace sticking out of the deck is removed, and the three other aces are found under it.

It all happens in a matter of seconds. This is quick visual magic at it's best... This is Journey.

Its a very simple journey Salt. I don't like effects where you have to rely on the cards and stash going onto the deck, it looks so false. If you can do it without the deck in your hand it will look a hell of a lot better.

And just being picky, doing tricks on the carpet don't look good to me. Maybe I'm too old school. I prefer sitting at a table or desk.

Ehhh Excuse me????

What a lame trick......

No, REALLY lame....... (doing Simon Cowell here)

Hey hey hey guys calm down it was ok. Except for the E blurb it was pretty simple and direct and with some decent patter would probably play quite strongly. No worries with the technique but as Tenko says, any trick where you fiddle about counting cards on top of the deck is prone to fishiness.
