A favorite card trick

If you enjoy working with cards - and are not a super-slick finger flinger, you just may enjoy the entertainment value of this card trick.  It requires practice, but no difficult slights.
I have enjoyed this routine for almost 30 years - having seen it performed by a fellow magician, Tom Ogden, at the Tannen's Magic Camp in the summer of 1978.  I enjoyed it so much that I set out to learn it well enough to perform it for the enjoyment of those who wish to watch,

Watch and enjoy.

Later, I will post the instructions on how to perform it - along with some side notes on what to watch out for when performing it.

Thanks for showing interest in my magic.  It's why I do it.

Here - then is a 3 minute routine that uses 4 cards from an ordinary deck.
