I appreciate the kind words. The combination with "Reflex" (the original title) is my own, and I would very much appreciate that you not use it.

For the record: Performance is not publication.

That said, I do thank you sincerely for asking.

The timing of putting the card under the glass was remarkable!

I watched it twice and SAW you slip the card under the glass, BUT your moves are really slick. Feel free to take me for $10 anytime!

Mr. Swiss, you are truly a master. Your article from the New Yorker ("The Real Work") is absolutely one of my most prized documents. It inspired me to be a better performer and a better all around magician.

It is rare in this new age of magic (though I am part of it) to find an abundance of magicians who truly THINK about their art. Words cannot express my respect for your outlook on the art.

Inspiring.

Hi Jamy! I really liked your take on the classic card under the drink. JC Wagner's is great to but the first move to get the card into palm you did baffled me! Is that a diagonal palm shift variant?

I admire ur work but have to say that I saw when u placed the card, and I really wasnt watchin for it either. Doc fooled me each time he did even tho it was on video, he's amazing at keepin ur attn.

I can't believe that (as I watch this) there have only been 1984 views. I know that I have watched this about 1243 times. Damn he's good.
