IMHO this effect should be within the grasp of most cardmen out there. None of the moves, principles, etc are difficult to execute. There are pro's and con's to both ways and again, it goes back to personal prefernce on the part of the magician and how fast you can add or subtract.Īs an aside, clocking the deck is only one of several principles involved to bring about the desired effect. Mike Powers in a previous thread explained how casting out thirteens works (very well I might add). The Diplopia manuscript explains the clocking procedure by casting out the tens. thirteen discussion is a matter of personal preference. Is Tens or Thirteens best? Is the 'force' necessary?
