This was one of the reasons I needed help with that one technique. You really helped. Thanks!

i figured out a way to do the routine like Mark did( both selected cards are replaced into the deck at the same time), but it's quite hard( not to mention impractical), i wonder what kinda control Mark could have used...

I think I have an idea of it... but it looks impractical. Maybe after the earthquake warning passes, we'll exchange ideas!

Haha nice job David! As long you are able to get rid of the noise on the move, I think it will be better

We should all just make a variation on Mark's OTOTW for fun and see Mark's reactions to it.

Ahahaha, we all should! Also, I perform this live very often. I use my voice to misdirect them from the sound. It works out overall.

nice. I have ideas too, but I'm still stumped on how in the end he gets the two selections to be facing different directions

Yes I am also confused on how the cards on the top become face to face. I do have a theroy though. Is the flip done in the control or after?

my take on the concept says that the flip is done either before or while the control, but who knows what Mark have going on in his head. I definitely agree, when everyone decides to post their performances, i'll post mine at the same time.

Idea My variation of OTOTW

I came up with my variation on OTOTW. Pity I didn't practice the sleights that much. I apologize for the flashes. Be sure to tell me what you think about it

well, apart from the suspicious control... i think there's no flash at all... srly... couldn't figure out how you got into position so quickly( tho the description is a bit hard to understand... first you said that is it impromtu, and then you said you don't claim the performance to be...)

He means that the performance can be impromptu without setup. In this case, it is not impromptu because the Jokers are used intentionally, thus the "setup"
