My father who's also into magic has enquired of me to show him the 'Mexican twist' which he's read about in an instruction book with ESP cards.
Basically what you do is..
You pick up one card and apparently use it to flip a second card but you actually exchange cards and flip the first.
Now I've not heard of the 'mexican twist' and think the book is wrong with this title. Can anyone assist as he wants to use it in a routine he's working on and the third and final part of the routine requires this move.
Thanks
Dracven

You are thinking of the Mexican Turnover used in the old three card monte scam / magic trick

Well if he has ESP cards than he can buy Submodalities DVD which explains few good tricks with ESP cards and Mexican Turnover as well...
You can get it here...

Thanks guys I'll have a look at that DVD as well.
It'll help him finish his routine off with a bit of practice.

It's always worth Googling

Unfortunately Googling for the Mexican Twist brings up nothing at all to do with magic. Now I have the correct title for the move I've googled it again and found lots.
