Push

You loose a selected card in the deck and say "If I press the top card on to the table and wait five seconds. 1 2 3 4 5 YOur card completely vanishes (you don't show this yet so it's funny) and then I continue to cound to ten 6 7 8 9 10 the card re appears after having changed into your signed card"

You then repeat this under the specs hand and ask them if they can feel the moment at which the card vanishes and re-appears.

You lose a selected card again and say "you're probably wondering how this happens?. And also if I'm telling the truth about the card vanishing and coming back. Well first I press the different card really hard and it vanishes" with this you press another X card on to the tablebut this time SHOW that it has gone. "When it comes back it has turned into your card . You don't see the bit where it vanishes usually because I keep my hand over the spot until the right time"

With that you press your empty hand over the spot again and the selection appears.

I have a method for this and it plays realy well. Thouht you might like to muck around with the effect seffect for yourslef. In case you're interested my methosd uses four moves.

1 A control. Thios has to be one that uses no cutting or shuffling for the effect (that I am going for) to really work.

2 A double lift

3 A one handed top palm

4 A rub away vanish

I should point out here that these are the only moves I use in professional work with cards full stop.....with the possible exception of some Tenkai work, a Top Change and a reverse.
