DROP CONCEPT
As demonstrated by Daniel Madison, live at the 2015 Session Convention, the Drop Concept allows a subject card to be Copped away from the deck without the palming hand ever touching the deck at the moment of deception.
This is a versatile utility move that can be applied to many different deceptive ideas, which are fully explored in this book,
including the Drop Switch…
DROP SWITCH
As demonstrated in the BLACK video at 1:00, using the Drop Concept, the King of Diamonds is seen to be switched for the Ace of Spades in the smoothest manner.
