So I just watched the trailer for Shin Lim's effect Flawless, and I must admit I'm very curious - has anyone ever seen this in print before?
I ask because although I've not bought the move, I have an idea about how it's done, and if I'm correct, then I'm certain it's not original (that is, it's been done before - not disputing independent creation). I don't mean to write this in an accusatory way - of course I could be completely off, but I thought I'd defer to others here. But for one, I recall seeing a move which uses the same reveal in a different context by Tyler Wilson. But I'm also certain that this principle (if I'm right), as performed in the trailer, appears in an old card magic book (that I can't quite remember - but I do recall it being mentioned in passing). Again, I'm definitely not a guru of card magic, so I'm curious if anyone else knows anything or if I'm completely off.
EDIT: It occurred to me that I could PM anyone with the trick/preferrably Mr. Lim himself if he's around with how I think it's done, and be either confirmed or corrected, and that would be a rather quick way of finding out...
