Thank you for your review, Tom. It is very much appreciated. Also for your good catch in "Not Wrong" -- it seems I WAS wrong :-) -- the effect description is what I was doing originally when I worked out the routine, then I changed the handling, but left in the old description of the effec...

I am saddened to report that my friend and business associate, Martin Breese, passed away today in Brighton. Martin had been fighting Leukemia for the past 14 months. At one stage I really thought he had it beat. But, now the fight is over. My heart goes out to his wife, Pang, and to his family. Peter

I remember the tv ads for that -- I think it was called "The Trick Stick" in the UK.

PAUS (and POUS which is simply PAUS in reverse) was inspired by the Carlyle Turnover. After I had developed the move I noted that "it is not unlike Roy Walton's Trigger in appearance."

Cameron used the top of the deck. Maybe I should leave things alone - if it ain't broken, don't try to fix it? :-) Thanks again &...

I have had the pleasure of a sneak preview of this treatise by David. A lot of thought and work has gone into this and, if you are in any way interested in the Overhand Shuffle systems in Erdnase, you should definitely check this out.

Hi Jason;

There are no dates given for this shuffle in the notes.

I never met Bill Reid, and I think he died some years ago. Bill Reid inspired Elmsley in his Faro work. Reid wrote a manuscript but I am unsure if any copies exist today.

The above post from Philippe prompted me to check out the lecture notes entitled: "Alex is at it Again" (self-published, 1997) and the shuffle in question is, indeed, there. It's called "Continuous Pick-Up Shuffle."
