My New Favourite Card Effect! Whatcha Think?

[notsoltd]

Hey guys! This is my new favourite card effect. It is based on the triumph routines. Credits for this idea go to Mr. Jay Sankey! I love his magic. So straight forward, always makes sense, and never fails to hit the spectators right between the eyes when they least expect it!

Unfortunately, this is not a live video, although I did perform this twice today. I didn't have a camera though But man oh man did I get great reactions. When I did it for most of my class, people were just stunned. Some were silent, others were (rapidly) getting away (lol), and some were just saying "no freaking way"

I performed it for a co-worker earlier, and this was his reaction....

*pure silence for 2 or 3 seconds* "......Holy ****........I just went back in ******* time..... no ******* way.... dude that is crazy ****"

Anyhow, here is the magic Enjoy, and tell me whatcha think!

not bad but...
work on the flow of the routine a bit more.
you know your moves so just work on making it more natural.
Right before the slipshop shuffle, you seemed a bit hesitant about what you were doing and the rest of the routine seemed to follow.
Practice the routine so you know exactly what move goes where and how you do it. Then, you can work on your presentation.
I would also suggest putting a bigger bend within the deck so that... the triumph routine goes a bit smoother.

Joshua Jay's handling of this effect allow a better flow, you might want to check his. It's called "Back in Time".

Luseifho covered the major points.

To make it more convincing when you're doing the slop shuffle, don't just turn your right hand palm up and palm down, but alternate your left hand in as well. Right hand goes palm up and down, then left hand does, then right, etc. Looks much more convincing that way. Play with it.

Great effect. Have fun with it!
