After reading the all posts in this thread again and again, I began to feel I was in the Magician's Labyrinth, which is my definition for a condition in which I am restricted by magician's logic.
My opinion in this thread is backed mainly by the logic I had thought out, not by enough experience of performing each way of Triumph. Even if I have enough experience with one way, it is not enough for me to conclude which is better if I don't have enough experience with other ways. Even if I have enough experience with many ways, I think, I am not enough to conclude which is best way if the conclusion is made only by my logic (even if it is backed by experience). What I want to say is that I need to gather audience's honest opinion. Sometimes, magicians tend to be deceived by audience's surface reaction. If it is difficult to get opinion from audience, I need a director who can see my magic from audience's view. As I can't have a director or adviser always, I will try to hear onlooker's opinion when I test magic on my wife, colleague or friends. "Is it mystifying?" "What was suspicious?" I can show them two ways and ask "Which look more magical?" At least, I can hear different opinions from magicians'. When I test Triumph on lay persons, it is possible they say "Both ways look almost same". This will be an evidence I am in Magician's Labyrinth. Hideo Kato |

I usually use tegnically Guy Hollingworths in the hands triumph. In the end I spread the cards face up at waist level, up jogging the face down card and then raising my hands to chest height bringing the selected card into view infront of my face thus making spectators see my face as well and their card. Works very well for me. I got this idea from, suprise suprise, Darwin Ortiz´s old A1 video from his demonstration of finishing Jazz aces.

Good ideas here. I personally prefer to display the deck face down with the selection face up for the final revelation. And I have also used the method of putting the "mixed up" deck in the card box before the final revelation. I think it's a nice touch, as the magic appears to occur in the box, redirecting the audiences focus to something that is totally innocent.
Now to go in a slightly different direction for a moment... which of the following two methods for "mixing" the cards do you feel is stronger: The Tenkai method (I originally saw this on one of Daryl's Revelations DVDs), where the selection is secretly reversed second from the top, double undercut, and then while displaying the upper half face up, the lower half (with the reversed selection on the bottom) is wrist-killed and riffle shuffled into the upper half. Or, The in the hands method of flip-flopping face up and face down, cutting at the natural break, and then riffle shuffling. Ron
