Slow Henry by Roberto Giobbi

Page 1239 et seq.



Personal Comment: This is demanding and I don't do it justice. I'm sorry. But this really is a good trick. It has suspense and surprise. It is deceptive (if done right) and a very clear effect. But it's not easy. In fact, it's the kind of trick, that if you don't do it regularly you will forget the phases. Aside from that you need quite a lot of table space. This makes the trick not a work horse. It remains for those special occasions when there is enough time and space. But I like it anyways.



Difficulty 4/5

Modern Jazz Aces by Darwin Ortiz

Apocalypse by Harry Lorayne
Volume 3, Number 7 July 1980
Page 369 et seq.

Personal Comment: Peter Kane's Jazz Aces is certainly a trick that needs refinement because it has a lot of potential. Darwin Ortiz version certainly is a good refinement and in my opinion the better version. I like it, but again as with so many card tricks I do not see myself doing this for laymen. I am told that the routine kills. I think it is dull. Opinions are different, so I guess I am wrong on this one.

Difficulty: 2/5
