Naughty card trick ;O)

Here's a funny little number that I know...

Obviously using the elmsley count again and another moved I think is called the Scotts count, although I'm not sure. Please tell me the actual name if you know it :)
Again I don't know the real name for this trick but I love doing it.
The move at the end I noticed was quite visible on the video but in 'real' life distraction always prevails.

Hope you enjoy!

Feed back, as always, is appreciated, thanks

The actual move is known as the Jordan Count, not the Scott's count. As a bit of a tip - the tiny little "pushover" you do is a bad habit that you need to break yourself of. Think like a spectator would. If you were just counting cards one by one, would you need to fiddle with them? Nope - thus, you shouldn't need a get-ready, here.

Considering you didn't know the name of it, I'm assuming you didn't learn the count from the typical resources. I highly recommend the book Counts, Cuts, Moves and Subtlety by Jerry Menzter. You'll find a fantastic resource to learn that sleight, and many others.

The "move" at the end can be avoided. PM me for more details on that.

Otherwise, excellent work. Your patter was strong, and the overall effect plays nicely. Great job!
