Hey guys.
I was wondering, for those of you who perform/showcase effects that utilize gambling sleights (such as the Second Deal, Bottom Deal, MacMillan Switch) do you tell the audience what you're doing?
I see many performances of magicians "showing" spectators how to cheat in card games by exposing the sleight to them after they have performed it.
I know this can help them understand how cheating works, but don't you think if we keep the secret to ourselves the audience would be more awed?
I just want to hear some of your thoughts.
;D
