The title says it all.

Have a look at http://www.magicproshop.com/home-school ... -5540.html - Home Schooled by Rich Merrill covers this. I guess it might be available elsewhere (Ellusionist refer to it on one of their offerings) so Google away!

Check the 'Show off with Cards' DVD. A bit contraversial (as I learned from a recent post!) but it covers this technique, along with variations of it.

The sybil was first seen in print in Chris Kenner's 'Totally Out of Control', the cut was called 'Five Faces of Sybil'.

It is essentially a multi packet cut that happens very quickly and smoothly.

You can learn it in a number of places:

Dan and Dave - 'The System'
Brian Tudor - Show off's 1&2
Cap Casino - Capcut's
Troy Hoosier's - DesTROYers

Personally I'd recommend Dan and Dave - they have a false version I particularly like.

I don't recommend Show Off with Cards as previously discussed!

If you want to see videos of sybils - check out magic video depot or dan and dave's forum.
