Why would this be a holy grail? The literature is full of such writeups.

By the time they get to the end of the trick people have forgotten what the beginning was. I swear this trick is what old time magicians called "conjuring for conjurers". You don't need all those "test conditions". Magicians worry about them more than laymen do. All the layman wants is for you to finish the bloody trick and "come to the bat". (grafters language that all you innocents wouldn't understand).
I bet I can get more reaction out of laymen using the crudest version of that trick than any alleged hotshot will get using all those daft long winded fancy methods. I would get the damn thing over and done with within a minute and a half while anyone else would still be waffling away without the trick even starting.

Only interesting to magicians who believe no stooges or forced cards. Regular audience no more impressed than for any other card trick.
Of course this is impossible ACAAN. Except by luck.
Woman was instructed to think of card (then find it in deck and shuffle to top). Then think of number and shuffle more cards on top so counting works.
Do this without shuffle, without volunteer touch cards before counting? That I would like to see.
Then think of number and shuffle more cards on top so counting works.

I don't see that happening. No peeling of single cards.
