Routine Skinner explains on the Skinner Tapes dvd

Postby Richard Green » March 18th, 2015, 12:47 pm

On Disc one, Michael performed and explained (with the glitches) what is listed as Bro. Hamman's Transposition. I believe he also performs this on Disc Two as well. This is the "Follow the Leader" type routine where he's using blue backs and red backs instead of the faces of the cards.

Does anyone know where this might be written up? I've done what I feel is a bit of extensive searching, but I can't find it anywhere.

Is it not The Underground Transposition, using backs instead of faces?

There were many variations by Brother John of his own tricks, by him, that never saw print. However it's equally possible that it was Skinner's idea to do Brother John's tricks using backs rather than faces.
