Unshuffling Rebecca By Paul Harris and "Nacho Mama's Triumph" by Danny G.
Both are Visual Effects and for the most part pretty simple.

Hey Guys-

Thanks to everyone who has mentioned my version of Triumph.
I'm really glad that so many of you like it and have started putting it in your repertoire.

I'll never say that one version of a trick is "the best." I can only tell you why I prefer one over another.

Having performed "Culligula Triumph" and the "Roadrunner Cull" for quite a long time now, I can tell you that the best part about it is the interaction with my audiences.

There is nothing to hide, no false shuffles, no false displays. The cards are really shuffled and the spectators are GENUINELY intrigued. The emotion and the tension that is created when the spectators think that they accidentally messed up the effect is priceless. They are now with you all the way, and the response at the end of the effect is ten times greater because of their invested interest.

We aren't able to discuss technique here, but if anyone is interested in talking more about the psychological points of the routine, I'll be more than happy to answer any questions.

Best,
Kostya

My favorite is from David Williamson's Magic Farm. I think it's called Funner Color Stunner. It's just like a regular triumph except the deck changes color at the end.

It's nice to know a few versions, but my absolute favourite is Kostya's... because the cards are GENUINELY mixed up, even the audience can do it, it's so visible, so fast and smooth... Plus the DVD came with a signed note *SWOONS* LOL!

But, as I said, I like to have a few versions... I like mixing the Simple Triumph with false Z-shuffles and in the hand riffle shuffles, looks convincing.

For me it's Funner Colour Stunner by Dave Williamson from his Magic Farm. It's a awesome triumph in hands with colour changing deck at the end... I do not perform this one, but I love to watch his performance... AND the plot uses is funny and exciting. It fooled me badly.

At the moment, I have a new favourite. It's my own as far as I know, but there's crediting to the best of my knowledge in the video description.

If I'm standing up, I just use the Sloppy Shuffle.. it's really convincing and I've gotten some of the best reactions from it.

If I'm seated, the original is just fine.

Do you mean the Sloppy Shuffle one from the 1-on-1 section?

That's the one!

It's one of those tricks that I find to be fun for not just my spectators but for myself, which is why I like it so much.
