Good performance, though I don't see the reason why you turn the cards you do. Maybe it fits your patter, I don't know.

Why turn the card over one way, only to turn it back over in a completely different way? Consider consistency when performing - all moves should look natural and without real meaning.
Nice job!

mark lewis wrote:One suggestion I have is to use an ace, two, three and four. Put them in 4321 order at the beginning. When you do the trick in the normal fashion the cards will reverse in Ace, two, three, and four order. The advantage of this handling is that it makes the trick easier to follow from the audience point of view. They don't have to worry about which Ace came up already.

I just have a clip with the instruction on this particular trick, I don't know where it was published. Nice idea about the false show ata the end. I would have never thought of that one myself.
