    A few months ago, I bought the book The Open Prediction Project by Thomas Baxter. It taught 51 different versions of this plot (the open prediction); 51 being a tip of the hat to the original Stewart James trick, 51 Faces North, which is the holy grail of this plot. Some of the methods in that book are completely hands off, self working, or meet more of Stewart James's original requirements, but Insane looks cleaner. The only potential problem I have with Insane is that I don't know if you can deal the cards face up, and I have many methods that allow you to do that.

    I dont think I would be a problem having the cards dealt face up. Personally I like having the cards face down for many reasons

    We know what you think.


    Are you writing in your pockets, or are you just happy to see me?

    Looking at the trailer I'm getting a Blind by Daniel Madison kind of feel. But it seems to be gimmicked so I guess not.

    I don't have "Insane," but my guess is that you can have the cards dealt face up. That said, if you have "The Open Prediction Project" I'm sure there's a similar method in there...

    Having the cards dealt face up would be quite risky for this.

    If the method is what I think it is, then I'm pretty sure the cards cannot be dealt face up... I'm excited to get this come pay day.

    Actually, to clarify, I could imagine a handling in which the cards are dealt face up until the card that is stopped on.

    Am I crazy or was an extremely similar method taught on the Talk About Tricks dvd set?

    We don't know the method yet... unless someone got overnight shipping and received it on Saturday (FedEx does that, don't know about the others).
