I forgot I even had this - thanks for reminding me of this ......
In reply to Moodini - when I perform this (which is a while ago, I must admit

), I do away with the gimmick, as I'm not a great fan of gimmicks.
In my opinion the routine is just as strong ..... instead of the 9-phase routine, you're left with a 5 (or maybe 6 - it's been that long, I can't remember

) phase routine.
One advantage that this does have is that this can then be performed with borrowed pins - you just need to "prepare" beforehand, which only takes a few seconds and if done correctly could be done right under the noses of your specs.
