Buried in the middle of my Blackpool/Taom lecture (here on MOTG) is one of the most commercial stand up card effects you'll ever want... I nicknamed it '5 Card Finger Bang' - for reasons obvious upon viewing. I love the effect as it literally packs small, plays massive and has some terrific built in comedy/entertainment possibilities.
It's also a really amazing trick.
When I included the trick among other effects in my lecture I wasn't surprised by the incredibly positive reception it received, especially for many of my original additions to the original effect - the finale and gags etc.
So I have decided to film an in-studio teach in, to go deep into real detail about EVERY aspect of this highly commercial piece.
This effect was the entire purpose of me starting the SHORT DECK playlist!
There will be three videos in this playlist, the original method and then two VALENT-TIPS videos detailing all of my additions, extra finales, gags and presentation ideas.
Please note that TV performance rights of my version - finale and everything in Valent-tips 1 & 2 are strictly reserved and permission would need to be granted by me personally for TV, internet or film performance. Especially those damn 'Got Talents'.

I love having multiple uses/routines for gimmicks, it truly justifies the pocket space, and the two gimmicked decks from 5 Card Finger Bang are no exception.
We can't always have the space or time to perform the full 5CFB routine, soooo isn't it nice to know you have an extra miracle available ...
