Neti Neti by Sudo

For many years, I have been enamored with Al Koran's "Note Under Cup" routine (based off a Hummer principle.) It is a location of a borrowed bill hidden under one of three opaque glasses. A common variation to the effect is to reveal the serial number of the bill afterwards. As much as I love the effect, there has always been a few issues I've had with the method. While you are turned away, the participant can freely swap two cups at a time and as many times as they wish as long as they call out the positions of the two cups being swapped each time. I wanted to get away from this entirely and have the spectators say NOTHING at all and not even have any idea of how many swaps they made either. Also, I wanted them to TRULY BE ABLE to swap the cups around in any fashion at all – literally 100% free mixing with absolutely NO restrictions. In addition, I end with the PARTICIPANT divining the serial number on the bill using "Serial Thriller" (available at my site) instead of ME – making THEM the star! How powerful is that? 

Well, "Neti Neti" achieves all of this with ease! The Koran effect is great, but I think that the main reason why you don't see it featured by more performers are for the inherent drawbacks I mentioned. If you could really do this for real, this is EXACTLY what it would like. "Neti Neti" uses a VERY simple idea to do this and has these features: 

- NO – the three cups are NOT m****d 
- No finger rings (or the things associated with that idea)  
- In fact, there are ZERO gimmicks! 
- No "hairy" issues.  
- Can use any objects that are suitable such as three shells and a pea, 3 bottle caps and a dime, playing cards, photos – the method is extremely flexible 
- Bill introduced at the beginning is the bill used throughout 
- Participant says NOTHING and NO questions are ever asked 
- Complete and absolute freedom in mixing without limitations 
- Participant also has zero restrictions and completely free choice as to where they hide the bill or object and your back is turned when they do so 
- No finger counting or mental calisthenics 
- Can be performed completely impromptu 

I think you're going to be tickled pink when you discover the method. Again, it is an EXTREMELY simple idea, but one that is VERY sneaky and deceptive. Again, if you could really do this for real, this is EXACTLY what it would like. 

As usual, PM me for a copy. I will happily send it out as time and energy permits for a limited time – so make sure you grab it while you can. 

Have a great day!
