Is this effect really as good as what they say it is?

There is a video of it on Hank Lee's site if that helps.

It's a very good effect. You can go right into a four ace trick after.

I love it. I performed it soooo many times I had to buy it again because the cards got so dirty.

Two versions are included with the trick one with no sleight and one with.
You'll have fun with this.

....i found that the "sleight" (although a standard one) was not very well explained in the enclosed instructions and I had to go to other sources to learn it properly. This one is definitely a knockout though. A classic packet effect.

Can't reccomend it enough!

I go from NFW directly into Doc Daley's Last Trick.

This is one of two effects I carry on me at all times. The other is a deck of cards. Buy it.

Um, I do NFW all the time. Do you guys mean "right into" and "directly" after a packet switch? or are you actually doing these other 4 ace tricks using the gimmick from NFW?

There isn't a "no sleight" version. the basic version uses a common "count" which, even though it is used in many packet tricks, it is still a sleight. The second version of the trick uses an additional count which is not adequately explained in the instructions. When I think back on it, the necessary count to do the basic version of NFW isn't actually explained well. This is the first trick I learned that used it. I went to a number of online sources which had written instructions for the move. I then studied the online demos to get how the move should actually look.

This is a very good trick though, and I highly recommend it.

....Gareth... I'd be happy to point you in the right direction regarding the poorly explained sleight.

Are you being sarcastic? This is a great name for a trick like this because that is exactly what a lay person will say(or think) when you perform it. You know what it stands for, right?

It's been out for a while, but still one of the best packet tricks around. Quite simple and stuns people.

I prefer to perform using the count showing 4 jokers face up to start with. It took a while to get this looking natural though, it's harder than an Elmsley.

You can actually go "straight into" a different 4 ace trick. With Dr. Daley's, one must simply be careful with which cards end up in the spectator's hand. Yet, I don't think many four ace tricks (that allow you to use the NFW'd cards)follow NFW very well, so I usually avoid this add-on. I feel like I'm doing more proving that the NFW trick was using real cards, than actually carefully selecting a good follow-up trick.

I have heard people BASH this effect in other threads, but I have gotten much use out of it , and always get great reactions.

There is not much plot to it, it is basicly over before ir really starts, but it is QUIICK, to the point and in your face.

Great for on the street kind of stuff.

And if you like, as I often do, you can preload your pocket with dupes, and reproduce the vanished cards at the end of the effect.

Recommended!

I have always like how this trick works out....
it has been more than a year since I bought this trick, but it has remained in the drawer since.... cause I have never been fond of the D***** S*** t*** kind of tricks....

but after reading all the positive comments on this trick, I definitely love to try this out on some laymen and get their reaction....

thanks for sharing....

When I perform Dac Daley'ss last trick I use three cards that were just used for NFW. The beauty of DDLT is that you only set two of the aces in their hand. I set two of the ungimicked cards in the spectators hand. Even better, when everything is finished the phycology is that the spectator at one time or another was holding all the aces so therefore the must be normal!

I do a similar thing with Boris's wilds 'Very Wild" effect. I ALWAYS make sure the spectator is holding on of the pairs, and a second spectator is holding the second pair, and then I do the transpostion from one spectators hands to another.
