TiVo, an idea from the grave.

Just a little idea that is similar to TiVo - Kind of a face up Time Machine, if you will.

- Spectator chooses card (C1). Shown to everyone. Card held onto/placed aside.
- Another card is chosen (C2). Shown to everyone. Openly outjogged face-up in middle of deck.
- C1 returned to top of deck, face up. < Impress this picture in the spectators' minds >
- Square deck up and execute TCCP. Then execute one of the two endings mentioned below.


Two different ways to end this:

Ending 1
- Color change: Erdnase Color Change, Classic Color Change, Winter Change, or variation/other change that achieves the same effect and leaves the cards in the same position as the aforementioned changes. After change, execute TCCP.

Ending 2 (much simpler)
- Execute a Dribble Slip. Dribble cards while slipping off top card into middle of deck.

===

Not revolutionary nor entirely original, just an idea I thought I'd post.

What does TCCP stand for? I may know it, i just don't know what that means haha thanks...

I think he means a Top Card Cover Pass.
I use something similar to this as well. It's a pretty decent way to achieve this effect.

CardClip928 was right - TCCP stands for Top Card Cover Pass. Basically, it is a pass executed while keeping the top card at the top. If you understand that.

It can be found in several sources, including:

The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings (Page 82), by Larry Jennings
Spectacle (Page 23), by Ellis Stanyon and Larry Jennings

You could do this, but a simpler method would just be doing the classic pass as a colour change for the two cards. Eg. Card 1 outjogged face up in the deck, Card 2 face up on the top. Square the deck and classic pass Card 1 to the top. Saves the need for any other moves than 1 classic pass.
Just a suggestion.

I'm aware of that, but this makes it oh so much more interesting. I tend to brainstorm ways to make tricks harder. ;)

Not, of course, for my performances.
