King James your steal from the top is just way too fishy and obvious, which is a real shame, because you're deck handling was good throughout. But the reality is you clearly take the selections from the top of the deck one at a time initially for the first 2 'sandwiches', and it isn't going to fool anyone as is. Awesome shape changer though, lol, and the touch with the aces was awesome...but for me the obviousness of the sandwiching of the 2 cards initially killed the trick.
Yeah and Kasirz got my vote. Perhaps unfairly because I couldn't really understand what the heck was going on, lol, and the patter about bees confused the hell out of me, but I liked the handling more, and it wasn't obvious how the trick was done to me at least.
I would like to preface this all with both of you were far better than I am at the moment, and so you both get a huge amount of respect for being dope, lol. In the end, if a layperson (which I basically am) can obviously spot a move, it's not a good move. That was true of King's routine, but not Kasirz.
