Come on. If someone calls 11 and you put down a stack of cards almost half the thickness of the
entire deck you'd have to be stupid not to know what's going on. You can't see that on video as
clearly, but in real life it's plainly obvious. This is like doing an Elmsley Count with 10 cards.
CAN you? Yes. SHOULD you? Probably not! This is an interesting idea, and I like Craig, but this
is the Emperor's New Clothes of magic tricks imo.
It’s a great Idea but the deck can’t be fully inspected as the ad copy says. If the spec picks the number 11 and you deal that number you can automatically see there’s not 11 cards dealt to the table or the hand by the thickness of the pile alone, even a child would tell the difference. If you perform it twice for a group of people and one spec picks 11 and the next spec picks 21 the card pile is exactly the same. That’s my only concern other than that Well Done Craig.
If the spectator calls 11, definitely not the best outcome, you just deal 11 cards down and without a pause drop the rest of the cards on the dealt cards. Happens too fast for them to process any discrepancy

Good for zoom or "special" spectators
