Hi Randy! Hope you’re still shufflin’!

@@Snappyhands57 Hello Jack. I would send this in an e mail but don't know your address. I'm still alive and kicking :) I have neuropathy from ongoing chemo treatments so it's hard to handle a deck of cards well. Beer. Getting chemo for over 3 three years the neuropathy is the only only real side effect so can't complain! Seven years ago I started adding Mentalism to what I do which over the past 3 years has really helped give me things to do while I wait for the neuropathy to slowly improve with it is but just takes time. Like I said I can't complain I feel great been doing great I'm working at kicking at kicking cancer's arse! :)

Thanks Al! Yes, John G’s is very direct!

I believe the "flaws" he means are those he states in the video: 1) "...you don't have to do a pass or a gesture cut..." 2) "...you see each card go face up, one-at-a-time, and remain face up in the right hand..." 3) "...the 'half-deck approach', which is never explained properly..." While I personally don't find these arguments very persuasive and could write at length about why I feel that Jack's solution is significantly less convincing than the original, out of my deep respect for him and his incredible body of work I will not. His version is clearly workable and that's really all that matters; full stop. Instead, I will simply say that, for those of you who enjoy performing the original method, take heart in the fact that you are in good company. Darwin Ortiz was once asked: "If you could only perform one walk-around effect for the rest of your life, what would it be?" His answer was: "Probably what magicians wrongly call the biddle trick*." * Note: The "biddle trick" was originally named Transcendent by its creator, Elmer Biddle, in the April 1947 issue of Genii. We don't call Triumph the "the vernon trick", or call The Homing Card "the carlyle trick", so why do we call Transcendent "the biddle trick"? It's always struck me as pretty disrespectful to Elmer Biddle. I'm fairly certain Darwin felt that way as well.

Mercí!

Thanks!

Actually, it’s a completely different method, plus their card is the CENTER card of the 5 cards in my approach…

​@@Snappyhands57 Interesting, i was thinking it got controlled to the bottom. Either way i like yours better, very cool
