Doc Hilford's Split Up

Does anyone have this? I think there's something here I'm not getting. You're supposed to hand the deck to the participant to shuffle but with the two special cards still in it. But the two special cards stick out like a sore thumb. I can follow the rest of the mechanics of the effect easily enough, but can't see this flying. Should I just cop the force cards out before giving the deck out to be shuffled?

If the spectator doesn't engage in the effect,
then the only thing left is the method.

I feel bad about this. A couple of years ago, I loved this trick and did it many times. Now I have absolutely no recollection of the method whatsoever, and the instructions are somewhere in the vast morass of books, booklets, leaflets and instruction sheets that I laughingly call my magic library.

The annoying thing is that I can see the cards themselves!

I know that I got it working fine, Mr Grue, and I will try to find the instructions and help you. Failing that, if you bring your copy to the next London meet you and I attend (so maybe around 2013), I'll have a read and it will (probably) all come back to me.
