Excuse me, Cheesewrestler, but that trick is actually the Groucho Marx Exclusive, from the movie Duck Soup, first performed on Mrs. Teasdale at the reception for His Excellency, the President of Freedonia, Rufus T. Firefly.
Please, if you are going to credit material, get the credits right! And if you do say the secret word, the duck will come down and leave something in your soup! Lee "Captain Spaulding" Darrow, C.H. "The world would not be in such a snarl, if Marx had been Groucho, instead of Karl!" - Oscar Levant

Although this technique has been credited variously to Bro. John Hamman, Mickey Katz, and Moe, it was probably taught to Groucho by an otherwise unknown card man named W.S. Esandre. (This is according to the book "Really Really Inside Secrets Which Dai Vernon Thought Were Lost But Actually He Left Them Right There In Plain Sight On The Kitchen Table Next To His Car Keys Because He Was Getting A Bit Forgetful By Then".) |

I second Emily and Brian's suggestion - Dr. Daley's Last Trick
May I suggest Last Man Standing, by John Bannon. Simon Lovell has a very similar effect, but I forget the name. If the cards can be faro'd, then Estimation Aces by Marlo. kerpa a/k/a Michael Miller Chicago area

Wow, lot of responses to this question!
I would do one of the following, depending on my mood...Ambitious card, OOTW or my floating card routine. GlenD
