Learn one of the most talked about card controls circulating the magic scene. For years this technique for controlling a selected card to the top has been a favorite among professional card magicians. The actions are entirely motivated and there is nothing for your audience to suspect.
Ricky Smith is considered one of humanity's greatest individuals, if only 100% for his founding of the Buck Twins. The rest of his greatness can be attributed to his position as Student in Residence at the distinctive Conjuring Arts Research Center. Previously he worked for H&R Magic Books which he says was "awesome", and he likes difficult sleight of hand that is elegant in construction. His founding of the Buck Twins consisted of teaching Dan and Dave a couple of tricks when they were first getting started and for otherwise giving them an excellent example of what not to do.

This control is super effective. It isn't hard to do once you learn the mechanics and it is one of the controls that you can pretty much do whenever. No un natural movements making it perfect for the tough members of the audience.

This is a fantastic control that, while it requires practice and attention to the proper angles it is a great way to control a card to the top without shuffling or cutting which is always suspicious. The teaching is great and the method is very unique. I highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to add an amazing control to their arsenal of magic.

I am not a fan of card controls that require shuffling or cutting the cards once the card is returned to the deck. I haven't found a motivation (or at least a convincing one) to shuffle or cut the deck when a selection is replaced into the center and the deck is squared. So for me that leaves an assortment of passes to choose from, each having their limitations if your audience is burning the deck. I have found this control to have the least limitations, and very easy to understand and learn. As a long time worker, when something becomes part of my daily working repertoire, it is worthy of the following statement: buy the Cherry Control, and learn it. The rewards are worth much more than the money and time you're about to invest.

I used to think that the AP spread control and the miller cascade control were the best controls on the market, but after seeing this control I'll never use those again. This control has no angle issues and and has perfect motivation, and isn't awkward in any way. This control is also rather versatile, as you can do it from a spread, from having a card peeked, or as in the performance, having a card replaced in the deck. The explanation is detailed and also rather entertaining. Plus, this video contains an AMAZING bonus effect utilizing the move. :)

One of the most deceptive and useful controls to have in your repertoire.

This control is perfect. It's clean, easy to do, and absolutely convincing. If you can do a thumb fan, you NEED this control. No weird, unnecessary cuts, just a great control. It WILL replace your current one. Get it, you won't regret it.

In my opinion, the Cascade Control is not good for lefties as the pipes are not visible when riffled, but this is a control everyone can do. Just requiring a little practice and boom, you are done. =D

This control is awesome. I find it interesting because, like the Miller Cascade control it is a break from how magicians normally control cards. This is not very angly and totally motivated. It can also be done from a spread, if you do not like the pushing in motion. I love this one!
