New sandwich idea...

Enjoy!

Comments welcome...I don't know if it's a good idea or not and I did it badly - but hopefully you get the gist :).

Honestly, it's a really good idea!

I really think it could be a nice effect but you have to work on the handling of the cards. I was a nice revelation of the card in the end though.

To be honest, you really need to work on the handling because I actually worked out how to do the trick from the video. Otherwise, it could be a great effect. Practice, practice, practice!!!

Good idea, but your performance have a huge flash. Put a little more work into it, it would look great.

I haven't practiced this - it was more an idea than anything else.

If you think the idea is good I'll work on it, but IMHO it's too angley...

It is a very good effect, and would be great if you could pull it off, but that would need a lot of practice indeed. It is quite the angle sensitive trick, very effective if you can pull it off undetected.

as already said, very angle sensitive. Good idea, if you are gonna build it up a little (which IMO you should) you could try to make it a little longer too, although its just fine at that length

Not sure about angles. If you hold the deck a little deeper that should eliminate the problem. Also, try to create the angle on the card as it is inserted by increasing the pressure at the back left corner of the deck rather than pushing at an angle.
