This idea occured to me also R. Gould. I fooled with it and it's just
too risky, that gaffed card could reveal itself and ruin both tricks.
It's just easier to fan a deck and pull out the various cards needed
for each of the two effects (i.e. "Let's try this next trick with 3
different cards so it doesn't get boring"). You might use a blue deck
and bring a single red card from another deck. It's one of those blue
court cards that's gaffed.
"I Hate David Copperfield" is the best close-up trick I've invested in
so far this year, maybe in the last 5 years. Even knowing how "Close-
Up Illusion" works, I'm still glad I bought virtually the same trick
over again. The gaffed cards are exactly the same for both tricks.
The only difference is the Linking Ring move, which is worth the $20
all by itself. It makes the trick so much more visual that I find it
hard to express with words.
I've performed it at least a hundred times a day in the mirror since
I've got the DVD. I've done it for friends and it floors them. It's
so clever you can do it over and over without fear of detection. But
I do it just once, then barter with them to do it again (buy me
Wendy's and I'll do it again).
What a great trick.
