I use the Marc Spelmann handling (By Process of Elimination) that comes with the effect where you can openly spread the deck before going into the routine for magicans and the extra inquisitive - and dribble the deck for the average layperson.

On a youtube video it was mentioned that sound played an important role in this. Is this true? Or can it be done in a noisy environment?

Thank you Anonymous for drawing my attention to Eliminator. Reviews like this often jog one's memory. I had bought it because it's plot was so good. However it had 'gone into the cupboard'( it did arrive with 6 other items from other dealers!!) SO I shall now dig it out again and use the 'dribble' tip.

Alan - me too
I played around with this for a while and then newer purchases took over. I recall it being a rather nice effect and I will be rummaging through the magic chest for this later on today.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

This has always gone down well in performance. Super simple and a real knockout!
