This routine has been used professionally by Samuel for the last 9 years & he even used it for a TV Magic appearance

My Take:
A very nice packet trick using ordinary cards. Nothing extra to buy or construct. Can be done with a borrowed deck (if a joker is available).

A couple of things I noticed. The first phase of his performance is somewhat different than the tutorial. Also, this routine seems to be a close cousin of Color Monte. In fact, I am using my Color Monte shifts rather than the one he teaches and they work just fine.

Samuel is a smooth energetic performer and is very likable. He also teaches this well with doing moves multiple times nicely filmed. I can see a lot of you packet trick guys adding this to your set.Think about it. A nice new packet trick and it costs you nothing. Most packet tricks (even the simple ones) go for $15.00 and up nowadays. Another plus is that if your cards get wrecked, a visit to your magic junk drawer will net you a brand new set.

Being a packet trick lover, I really do like this. It is simple, easy to learn and the final reveal is like the $17 with that other monte. It will have people grabbing for your cards.

Yes, I would recommend this.
