I have used this effect many times and have had amazing results! Remember, when you find that an effect is super easy to do after you have paid for it you should be happy it doesn't involve a Diagonal Palm Shift or something as terribly difficult.
The reason I say this is because if you, as a magician, are fooled, then you should take solace in the fact that you can create that feeling with your spectators without having to be Dan Buck (An Amazing performer!). This should make you happy. I have also had moments like that where I saw the methodology and wanted to smack myself in the head for not figuring it out.
Again, as mentioned inn previous threads, it's mostly in the presentation!!!
Never underestimate the power you have as a performer!!!
I performed this for a friend while in Tahiti and he begged me to never do it again. Now that's what I like : )
