Personal Comment: Tricky to pull of, but the method is genius. let me explain. Instructing a spectator to do what you say requires that the spectator is not willing to screw with you. It also requires that he doesn't mess up by mistake. Also... sticking with the structure given in the book, there is plenty of doubtful work done by the magician. You COULD take back the mixed packet from the spectator and switch it underneath the table for a stacked one. You don't do that, but you could. Therefore it is a bit weak I think. So this trick requires an unusual balance of trust on both sides. And this is where most magicians would fail. And those who don't are too far advanced in magic to still need this trick. So this is one of those tricks that is great for magicians, if you perform for magicians. And if you do, you better go ahead explaining it right away so the magic buddies can also get a kick out of the method.

Personal Comment: Another Do As I Do but this time with four cards, which is more of a standard. This I wouldn't teach to kids, as it involves a sleight that they shouldn't know about. However I have seen a variation on this using a double backer. That made it self working. If you like that sort of thing, try it.

Personal Comment: Do As I Do is a weird plot, as it basically is all about the spectator losing. If that could be twisted in a way so the spectator would win, this might interest me. But this one is great for kids. It's easy. You don't teach them the good stuff. (All you need is the glide) And they have something to show off to their friends. So I sort of like this. Also this is great for bars, If you wanna win a drink, this is the thing to go with. You can do it with coasters too. Just saying.

Double Reverse

The Royal Road To Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue
Page 185 et seq.

Personal Comment: It is basically a do as I do premise with truly magical result. And the fact that the magician names his card first makes it a lot more easy for the spectator to tell it. Eugene Burger has thought of a nice way to combine Glorpy with Double Reverse. As with most effects in the works of Jean Hugard and Fredirick Braue, the originator of the effect remains unknown. But Kudos to you, whoever you are. There are tons of selfworking card tricks out there. This is one of the better ones.
