Hi Everyone.
This piece was inspired by the presentational premise of Richard Sanders King thing from one of his DVDs. From a shuffled deck in use have 3 cards stopped at in different positions as you hand to hand spread. Break the spread at each point stopped at and show each selection, culling each one under the spread and secretly sending them to the bottom of the deck. Secure a pinky break above them as you square up. Talk about how cards have a lot in common with time. Transfer the deck to right hand overhand grip and the break to your right thumb. State that you need a timer card. Swing cut about a third of the deck into your left hand and then start peeling off cards one at a time with your left thumb until stopped. Push over the top card of the left hands packet and use the left edge of the right hands cards to tip it over and face up, showing say a 4 spot. "This card determines that I have to find all 3 selections in no more than 4 seconds." Push the timer card over and again, using the left edge of the right hands cards tip the card face down, secretly allowing the 3 selections below your break to drop on top. Push off the top card of the left hands packet and drop it face down on the table. Bring both hands back together and as you do so,secure a left little finger break beneath the top card of the left hands stock. Square up as you ask the group to get ready to start the countdown. As soon as they shout start you cut to your break, table that portion and slap the remainder on top. "Stop!" This will get a laugh. Ask for the 3 selections to be named and take the top card and show one of them, then turn over the deck to reveal another selection on the bottom. To conclude the mystery look down at the timer card and make a magical gesture. Have this card turned over to reveal the final selection and your work is done. May I wish you and yours a peaceful new year Johnny X |

Thankyou very much, John. I really like this one.
Interesting use of Merlin's Tip Over. Have you got a name for this powerful quickie? |
