I just bought this a few weeks ago.. and I'm not happy with the stork at the end. It just doesn't fit my kind of presentation. I need something either shocking or FUNNY!
So, in the meantime, while I have a good think about it.. anyone else come up with a better finish? I had this trick years ago.. around 1992 I think maybe I bought it from Patrick Page. The presentation is the same, but the cards are slightly different.
Also, the original set I had was a bit awkward to handle, as all the cards were just slightly different sizes.. the cards are perfect in the new version.

Hi:
This trick was devised by Oliver Mackenzie, it was much used by Ken Brooke and sold by Harry Stanley. Oliver MacKenzie was an amateur of considerable charm and performed this with considerable success. Oliver MacKenzie in business was I beleive a Director of a Distillery. Remember Charlie Miller try the trick the way the originator performed it before changing it.
If you must you must, then why would you be involved with all this liquour, what were you really seeking?

Hi:
My apologies I just read your description of the finish, a stork? A stork? A stork? The original finish was of an attractive young woman.

Yes.. right... a stork.. with a baby..

up to that point, it's the same as the original. Went down to a club.. must have had a great time, but I don't remember, and then... 9 months later..
And then the stork/baby card is revealed. Really poor ending.
