Hi Guys

I have an idea for a trick, however I need some suggestions for one aspect.

I have 4 blank cards (Both sides) and have drawn things on them, but I want the drawings to appear as if they are all the same for all 4 cards (To Start with)

I have been playing around with the Rumba Count and Flustration counts, but I am not to happy with these options for this effect as I don't feel that it achieves the look I am after. Therefore I was hoping that some of you nice guys could make some suggestions of counts / displays that could achieve the effect I am after.

Many Thanks As Always

Sohaib,

That is the best count I've seen. I have done the Flushtration for at least 20 years! I am now a "Monte Cristo" kinda guy! LOL!

My thanks to YOU!

Hahaha I just gave you guys the link! Most of the credit should go to the Café member - I forget his name - who put up the Monte Cristo Count video.

The Rumba Count has its place. There's a variation on it called the Hypnotic Rumba Count. Check out this trick that uses it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMV3msXhX2Y. This really fooled me the first time I saw it - I didn't even realize a Rumba Count was being used! Your spectators are gonna swear they saw all jokers! I've added this to my repertoire and it's one of the hardest-hitting impromptu packet tricks I do! This is the best trick I've seen that uses a Rumba Count!

There's also Larry Jennings rhythm count, which shows two of the same card as four. Or the LJ all alike count, which works like a flushtration count, except the cards are gripped at the lower corner instead of biddle grip.

I heard from a friend that anecdotal evidence is actually quite reliable.
