So I was sitting at this table with two of my friends in my Cable Broadcasting class, and I was performing some tricks for them. For the first trick I did, I had one of my friends pick any card and put it anywhere in the deck. I took over after he put the card halfway in and I left it sticking out to do a shuffle control to get the card to the bottom. I knew I had messed it up and I said, "Actually, nevermind; I know what I want to show you." So I was going to do another trick and have him pick a new card. I riffled through the deck and had him say "stop" anywhere. No force at all. He said "stop" whenever he wanted and I cleanly stopped there and lifted the pack to show him the card. He started laughing, and I knew what had happened. So basically he stopped me at his card that I lost the first time. By luck it turned a horrible trick into a freaking MIRACLE! TJ |

I had a similar experience while doing an ambitious card routine. I had a friend randomly select a card, which turned out to be a duplicate. I somehow messed a move up and sheepishly retrieved the card and decided to do a reversal. One card was of course face down in a face up deck.... The face down card was next to a face up card that was her selection, and the face down card was also her selection. After shuffling and cutting the duplicates had somehow met--my eyes nearly popped from their sockets. It was so strange, but made me look amazing because she had selected the only card that had a duplicate, and I had somehow manipulated both. :rotf: |

| Now if you could just package that little accident, market it, why you could be rolling in the dough! |
