He's very proud of that, so he says. I like it too. I need to practice some of the fundamental artifices used before going for it.
Just out of interest, do you let your speks choose the cards? Spots, presumably.
I wouldn't worry about the actual techniques too much - I'm not that skilled but can pull it off. As Derren says, it is a routine which leaves the audience kind of cold unless performed properly, not over-explained, but understood at the same time. Performance really counts for this one.
I do usually let the specs choose the cards, but occasionally I classic force at least three spot cards for each colour, as if you have three then one or two picture cards shouldn't metter too much if you order them right. I would usually only force the cards if the 1st two they pick are picturecards. Get what I mean ?
