I agree - it's easy to spot, even on the DPB demo. Even if you don't know what he's doing you can easily see that he's doing "something".

I think it was explained in one of his really early videos (before DVDs kids!) and it was by a French magician called Gilles Couture (but Regal called him 'Hank').
Basically the chosen card is replaced in the deck then 'cut deeper into the deck' but is actually brought to the top. The illusion is utterly convincing! This is the control I use all the time. It works with multiple cards and doesn't disturb the lower portion of the deck, which is ideal for stacks or key cards etc.


What video was that MagicBill?

I'll have to see if I can find it... and then, I'll have to see if I can find a working VCR machine :lol:

Marlo's Revolutionary Card Technique or Card College 3.

It's also in Expert Card Technique but the explanation is mediocre compared to Marlos work.
