Handling Issues

This will not work with old, bent or dirty cards or a card case in similar condition. A slight pressure on the case can be applied with the thumb and fingers, but too much pressure will throw the case out of square and defeat the principle.

Once the cards except for the held back card leave the case, the case can be dropped lightly on the table without disturbing the card. If the case is closed before placing it on the table, turning over the case will free the card from the stop and put it on the opposite wall of the interior, at which time a spectator can open the case and remove the card.

Variations

A thicker stop can be used to hold back several cards, for instance several gaffs that will be added to the deck at some point.

Performance Notes

For those wondering how the effect described above is accomplished, a break is held when the card is returned and the deck cut to move the selected card to the top of the deck.

This principle was known to late Victorian conjurers when a much different card case was in vogue, a case that was quite sturdy and much deeper than the cards it held, making the use of the stop both invisible and dependable. With current card cases the handling needs a finer touch, but the principle remains effective.
