This tech­nique seems to be a Marlo Action Switch (or whatever). I’ve been using it for ages to switch in/​out mul­tiple cards and pack­ets. Some­times, I will do it without a table—it then becomes a sort of ‘float­ing top change’. Judge for yourself.

Lovely switch here with the help of a couple of bills. Might be use­ful when you want to switch out a set of gaffed cards for nor­mal cards or whatever. Think for your­self how this can be logic­ally integ­rated into a routine …

Here a couple of van­ishes for all you sponge work­ers out there. Here we have the K.O. van­ish, the 1–2‑3 van­ish, the ‘Chop­stick Van­ish’ (as pub­lished in Apo­ca­lypse years ago) and the clas­sic ‘Rezvani Van­ish’, which later became known as the ‘Ben­son Van­ish’ (which it is not, in fact). Get practicing!

I love this one! If you ever per­form the signed bill in Kiwi, try it. The point is that you have an unpre­pared Kiwi on the table. In your pock­et, there is a pre­pared one (with the hole in it). In the course of the routine, you van­ish the bor­rowed bill and secretly load it (under some pre­text) into the Kiwi in your pock­et. The video shows how you will switch the Kiwi on the table for the loaded one.

It is hard to explain, but the whole switch hap­pens in a sort of 1–2‑3 rhythm. I am sure you will get the hand­ling of it …

I have been using this tech­nique and hand­ling for more than 25 years. The main thing about it is the way the TT is stolen from the silk, once the bill is inser­ted. Pay atten­tion that it is the first fin­ger that actu­ally steals the TT, and not the thumb!

This is vir­tu­ally impossible to see, even on this lousy video performance …

Again, an old but rarely used top palm tech­nique. Why? It is decept­ive, fast and sure­fire. Get to it and resur­rect it … 🙂
