Hello Knowledgeable Magicians,

I am looking for the proper credit to a move I have been using for ages, but I cannot recollect the source. The Spectator and Magician each have a small packet of cards, and the spectator shuffles theirs. The Magician then trades his pile with them, so it can mixed as well. During the exchange, the hands briefly come together, and the participant is merely handed their own pile back. It is really deceptive even when you are doing it yourself.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know the name of the move but I can see this being done with the same finger positions used in a swing cut.

I'd be curious to know more about the move.

This move is commonly known as Daley's Delight, credited to Jacob Daley. He published it in a routine in The Phoenix.

However, it predates Daley. I BELIEVE it was used my a magician named Marro, in the context of a slate routine.

Where's Denis Behr when you need him? (Probably drinking a beer.)

No need to put your beer down, Denis. I googled this all by myself.

Fantastic! Thank you very much!

Steve Beam has some really good work on this switch in Semi auto 9 or 10 can't remember which one and don't have my books with me.
