hey guys.
i've made a new trick called Twisted.
after being able to do Reset by Paul Harris for a number of months, i started to dislike the whole 8 card 4 kings on the table thing. i just found it pointless to be honest, but thats just my opinion
so i created a new trick, using similar principles, which suited me. called Twisted.

hope you enjoy. and plz leave any comments or tips

It looks very nice, and your handling is great, but it is kind of obvious that there are more than four cards in the packet, unfortunately. I can't think of anything you could do to solve that either, which is a shame.
Other than that, it looks really nice. Good job

Not bad, but your handling needs some work.

The final reveal was rather awkward. Why did you perform the count of the kings like that, when you can easily pull an EC? It would be more convincing, perhaps.

Overall, it's a good effect, just work on the turnovers and the display of the kings at the end.

Very, very awkward and a bit clumsy handling of the cards. Unconvincing display of the first four cards, and also very unconvincing reveal of the four kings at the end. All in all, not really a great effect. There are many variations on the original Reset like Twisting Reset, Twisted Reset etc. With this effect you get a combination of NFW (although the cards are not turning face down) and Twisting Aces by Dai Vernon. There are much better ways to accomplish the same effect but TTs up for the idea of making a classic effect more suitable for your performance.

i can't it's the way the cards are positioned at the end. i know it looks unatural, but it's the best i can come up with.

if you could pm with ideas that would be great.

p.s i've only been doing the EC four three days, i know it needs alot of work.

and thanks for the comments. muchos appreciated
