Thanks dman, great to know. Not sure why that isn’t mentioned in the ad copy. I hope Chris knows that he has fans outside of UK.

I was fooled by this many years ago when Paul Gordon performed it at a lecture at the Newcastle Magic Circle & I was and am a very well read working magician who is slightly older than Paul.
Chris & Paul are both friends & Chris developed it even more in one of his books with Pauls permission to a 5 ACE ending which got a laugh to add to the amazement. Now this addition ramps it up even more by 2 notches . Will be performing it in the next couple of days . Have given Chris a couple of more ideas & my friend & guru Mick Wilson for additional laughs & a 3 Rd laugh & an idea to make it play BIGGER & a sound effect ( with 3 ideas how to obtain it - well 4 really - but for the correct audience. I will be having great laughs & entertaining with this . Thanks to Paul for his routining & thanks to Chris for putting this on steroids A worker knows what works & technically it’s so easy to do Imagine the great Wayne Dobson / Paul Daniels or Tom Mullica doing this on television. That’s how good it is |

I ordered direct from Chris on the 6th of August and it finally arrived today (I’m here in the U.S.) Such a fun and clever trick. Definitely going in to my everyday carry!

This is not sort of effect I usually do but it is so entertaining and guaranteed to amuse and surprise I could not resist.

The last choice seems a bit weak to me. Not sure friends at the pub would let that fly. Is there a contingency if they ask “for you or for me?” since you’ve made a point of making that clear up until the last choice.
Also, why are the cards aged? Is there another premise provided where that is important? Not a big deal, just curious. |

There are quite a few different ways the last choice can be handled, Daleys delight is one option. John Carey also has a very nice way of handling that in his bank night style routine.

Yeah, I was going to say that because as soon as I saw the handling, I was like, I know that sequence from Bank Wave.
This seems like a nice way to use that handling in a card trick. Quote: On Aug 17, 2023, Mark_Chandaue wrote:

CLOAK is a nice variation to Mr. Gordon's HTHP. However, for the last two remaining cards I prefer Daley's Delight (needs a little bit of practice).

It looks very deceptive. Thanks for the link Ustaad.

I think for Cloak (at least in the demo I saw) the handling of the last card fits very well into the effect and is a nice addition to the many methods of accomplishing this.
When the final choice is THE prediction, a great handling for that is The Known by Thom Peterson. A nice subtlety in the wording makes all the difference and makes this a great little effect. Quote: On Aug 18, 2023, videoman wrote:

There are plenty of options instead of saying top & bottom & anyone with a little thinking & experience should be able to think of them BUT I quite like Daleys Delight

Maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t use Daley’s Delight at the end of Cloak. Can’t imagine anyone watching it and not suspecting something fishy. I think subtle wording is better in this particular instance.
