The most DIFFICULT move in Sleight-of-Hand - The FRENCH UTILITY Switch

I discovered this challenging switch about 15 years ago whilst jamming with a secret Magician in Paris, I thought the move a few years ago, called The FRENCH EXCHANGE which I then followed up with The FRENCH DECK SWITCH. I since discovered that the originator is Bébel - one of Magic’s greatest artists ever, who discovered the idea some 15 years before me. I have developed the move a little further, adding a Top Shot to the switch, and although it isn’t taught as such in this video, I do explain how it is done and how to achieve it. The purpose of this video is to bring attention to Bébel and his original discovery, to pay tribute and to say fanx, but this also gave me an opportunity to share my thoughts on Creation, Discovery and Ownership of Magic and Sleight-of-Hand.
