I liked the effect, but at first did not find an presentational angle. The "presentation" in the Complete Walton did not appeal to me and in CC there is no presentation given.

Currently I am considering a "magician in trouble" kind of presentation:
The selection is returned to the center of the deck and the magician claims to be able to bring it to the top with a simple [enter your favourite magical gesture here]. As this fails he states that he needs to warm up and tackle something easier, e.g. bring a card from second from top to top. The rest should then be obvious.

How did you guys solve this issue? Do you even consider it an issue?

Best, markus

I present as very simply as so:

I ask the spectator to name a number between one and four. I proceed as in the description in CC showing the ability of the not named cards to rise to the top. The chosen card is just placed face down mext to the others because "this is the card you named". At the end I say: Dunno how you knew that, but the card you named is the only one that has no acrobatic ability. But it likes to dress up as something else. And just for you it has dressed as the card you chose.

I have the selection named and then turn it over.
Nothing fancy as you can see...

Hello!
Yes, this is actually one of go to tricks. It's quick and people like it a lot. Honestly I don't even bother controlling the selection...
I glimpse the bottom and use the key card principle. Ask which colour the selection is ("because I need four cards and I must be sure your card is not among them") and then I go through the pack to look for them, secretly adding the selection. At that point I enter the little routine.

I think that asking for the selection's colour is a little touch that convinces the spectators you have no clue which one it is ..
