Kudos to you 👍 for showing us a beautiful and cleverly-built Sandwich Transposition routine. I have a constructive feedback 💬 at 2:53. Because I prefer a minimalistic style of handling the cards 🃏, I'd probably let my left-handed packet to be casually placed on top of my right-handed packet, followed by naturally placing it on top of the Q♥ packet (on the table), and immediately spreading the deck. Of course, an alternative convincing move can be considered/designed at 2:56 to achieve the same purpose.
Thanks for your feedback 👍. Sure, there are many possibilities regarding the sub-sequence you mention. My good friend David Bestué (please, click the link in the video's description to find his take, along with further thoughts on the routine) and I worked out several variations, but we always stumbled upon a certain requirement which makes it (I would say) impossible to "directly" place the left-handed packed onto the right-handed. The closest to that is Bannon's original as it was published in Genii Magazine, which I still perform if needed. However, when the performing conditions are right, 2:56 is my preferred way (it can be done quite slowly and most importantly "in transit") to overcome that requirement. Thanks again for your suggestions!
@@arthurits Nice thread! :D The version presented here has a great advantage compared to the original and other handlings (mine included): the "spatial isolation" of the selection ("it only existed on the table, far away from the deck"). Regarding the recomposition, the approach of this video is, in my opinion, better than the original "two steps recomposition" (cuting the deck) because, although casual, a cut brings extra attention into a critical movement (in this sense, my take was created -mainly- to avoid the "final cut" ). A final thought that just came to my mind: I am not 100% sure of the "direct spread", ¿maybe place the packet to pick the whole deck and square it in the hands before the spread?..... Nice to see the amount of details encapsulated in an apparently simple effect
Sure, too many technical and psychological details to consider for such an "apparently" simple effect. I agree that the spatial isolation is paramount here, as pointed out by Darwin Ortiz in "Designing miracles" (we've already discussed this in other effects). Also, the two-steps deck-reassemble was something we were uncomfortable with, and thought it could be improved. However, I'm not sure about delaying the spread, since it would increase the critical interval; whereas the "direct spread" is geared towards reducing it, thus making the perceived effect more direct. Anyways, I believe there's still room for improvement. Thank you both for your thoughts. 😉
@@arthurits Thank you for your reply. I actually watched several times yesterday because your routine is elegant and beautiful. When I rewatch just now, I finally understand that the "muck" at 2:50 has prevented the left-handed packet to be directly placed onto the right-handed packet. Perhaps Dan Fleshman's Turnaround Swivel Pass (as an all-around square-up) can help accomplishing the covert job before the deck-reassemble. ruclips.net/video/vxSX0imQa_M/видео.html
Although the trick seems really simple, there are many nuances that lead to an ineresting array of possibilities, each one with its pros and cons. I'm not conversant with Fleshman's technique, so I'll definitely have a look at that. Thanks for the suggestion!
Sí, la susceptibilidad de ejecución lenta hace que los juegos ganen en claridad (René, Arturo...). Muchas gracias por ver el vídeo y por tu(s) comentario(s). 😊

Absolutely beautiful performance! Thank you
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for your kind feedback!
Super clean, and the move at 2:50 is beautiful!!
Thanks for commenting. Glad you like it, that's a nice technique that could be useful in other routines.
You are Maestro‼️
Very beautiful‼️
No, not even close to a Maestro yet. I'm glad you liked it. Thank you! 😀
Como siempre, fantástico. Me encanta el ritmo pausado que aplicas en la realización.

way too procedural all of this...I struggled to stay awake trying to follow the effects
