This is Paul Chosse's handling of Charlie Miller's Cascade Control. This is the handling published in Card Finesse Volume II.

Beautiful. But what impressed me more than the control was that a YouTube video demonstrating a control actually shows an "effect" rather than just exposing that the action leads to the result.

The only suggestion I would offer is to post on Magic Video Depot instead of YouTube. Fewer casual viewers on MVD...

Oh, and what Kent said... ditto.

Bill,

You're the cunning linguist. I'm certain you are aware of all things Latin.

However I think some Bacardi, crushed mint leaves and some sugar is definitely in order today, regardless.

Kent, to me, age doesn't really matter. I think it's all in the amount of time that you practiced.

Matt, I meant no disrespect. You're right about the time one practices, (intelligently!), has a great deal to do with one's abilities. In addition to your ability to do an obscure and difficult sleight you're younger than the vast majority of people who can do so.

All it means is . . . now we expect really great things of you as you grow older!

Matt -- Just great! Lovely, from the Peek Break to the Cascade, the Double at the end and the Erdnase Change.

Keep up the good work.
