I have now watched it a few times and am convinced that it IS the Derek Dingle version! The only difference is that instead of lapping the extra cards he dumps them onto the second pile on his right. I think the Dingle/Lorayne lapping finish is better since it eliminates that very fishy count at the end.

Is the above still accurate?

I have the manuscript, but have no idea if it will get published.

"J Birnman's Favorite Trick" ?


I have a MUCH better way of doing this! I worked it out this morning. As I stated this is really the Derek Dingle version described in Harry Lorayne's "Reputation Makers" book the only difference is a very fishy and unnecessary count at the end. I worked out a FAR better method to ditch the extra cards!
