Yes, I believe it is. I did this last night at a party and got audible ooh's and aah's. A wonderful routine.

Two Absolute Killers:
1. Twins (Bro John) 2. Dr Daley's last trick using the gemini count (bro john hamman's count) Most of Bro John's packet tricks are excellent. Im sure you will find some favorites in his book. I recommend you check it out for good packet tricks. |

Just discovered John Guastaferro's Intuition/Out of the Blue. Mini-Hofinzer, backs change, and Reset all combined. Done with ordinary cards. Will take work to perfect.

I actually prefer Double Back (Jon Allen) to NFW. With the latter, I have had people asking me why can't they see the "four jokers" face up in the beginning. The former has cleaner mechanics and the handling can be masked up more effectively (for me at least). Both are great killers when performed right, I just find DB a bit more seamless.

I'm partial to B'Wave, Entourage, and a few Nick Trost items you have to make up yourself from his first book.

I followed some of the advice on page 4 of this thread. I did Color Monte after culling the cards from a regular deck. Didn't go over very well. Not sure what the problem was. Help.

EVILDAN,
Do you have success with this trick otherwise? Although I'm not much for toting packets, I do carry Color Monte with me--I don't use cards from the deck. My final reveal is a bright green facer. I actually don't think I would perform this trick without it--it's such a stunner, and the ridiculous color contributes a lot to that moment. If you're using ungaffed cards, and not getting the response you want, I would suggest trying using a brightly colored card and see if it makes a difference. |

I've done NFW hundreds of times and I've never had someone trace back and ask why they couldn't see all four jokers at the beginning. One packet trick I've seriously underestimated is Duplicity. I'm not sure why I thought this way, but I never thought it would get great reactions or replace any of the packet tricks I do. I've done it a couple times in the last few weeks and it just absolutely FRIES people. Incredible effect. |

Corner of Piccadilly by Paul Gordon is excellent! Fast, instant reset, examinable at the end, two sleights (elmsley count and DL), and it is easy for anyone to understand.
I keep the cards in my wallet. |

Damian, I was just joking around about culling the Color Monte cards from a regular deck.
I perform this all the time and it kills. And it kills me how many people have NOT seen this trick even though it's supposedly the best selling packet trick of all time.

Strictly speaking, not a packet trick since it uses postcards, but I really like Doug Higley's "3 No Evil".

Back in March, I asked Arteco about the examination of the cards and it here is their response:
"As per the card examination, there are two methods explained in the DVD, so I will correct the description. I do not want to have the people being confused." They never did change the description. |

What a great thread! I'm still going with Alex Elmsley's Dazzle - the only thing is it's not examinable at the end. I would love to make this "fractal" as John Bannon puts it. Let me see if I can work something out

Another vote for Darwin Ortiz's "Jumping Gemini" (Darwin Ortiz at the Card Table, pg 141). Sooooo much magic using only four ungimmicked cards. Makes you feel powerful, like Thor. Or Loki. Or at least one of the Weasleys.
