You may want to check out my "No StRing Attached" in Apocalypse. It's also on Bob Miller's "Relentless Ring and String Routine" video. Bob also published a clever move in MAGIC and on his video called the "Fisherman's Knot".

Re: Spectator Cuts To The Aces
I'm partial to Bannon's Directed Verdict . But if you don't mind turning over the aces (rather than the spectator) don't pass up Magic Christian's Prime Cut in Steve Beam's SemiAutomatic Card Tricks Vol. 4.

Anyone know if Hobbs is still publishing Labyrinth? I found it to be one of the best closeup journals I've seen.
