The following approach was originally brought to the table by Syd Segal in Full Metal Jacket (2005) under the name Very Fair Triumph. Ben Train offers personalization, history and clear teaching instruction make this video a worthwhile investment.
The cards are shuffled face-up into face-down. No false moves or suspicious sleight of hand. With a magical gesture, the entire deck straightens out with every card face-down, except for the selected card. A miracle at the card table. Dai Vernon would be proud!

This is one the most simplest and easiest Triumphs I've ever seen. Simple is always better and this is one the most simple tricks. Its leaves the audience with that wow effect. Great trick to add to your arsenal. I never could decide what triumph to use and now I have one that I'm going to stick by. This trick is so worth it.

This is one of the most amazing versions of Triumph I have ever seen. I don't think anyone would be able to notice any sleights or movement done as it was done cleanly and neatly. However, I think that when spreading the cards in the end, the cards should be spread face-up as this allows the performer to then gradually open the faced down card to create tension instead of showing the recovery of the deck and the selected card together.

This triumph is so good looking and so fair! if you are doing this kind of old school magic and looking for a triumph I would recommend this one! The only one negative I have about this is that its all on the table, well of course it is nice if that is the style you like, but personally I would chose to do Dani Daortiz's Open Triumph!

There are a lot of great triumphs out there and most of them use false shuffles to achieve the effect, the great part here is that there's no false shuffle. The cards do mix together with each other. It's a little knacky but not hard at all it's actually really easy and Ben gives a lot of great tips about performance and presentation and these were worth the price of the entire purchase alone. It's as good as the original but easier.

This is one of the best Triumphs I've ever seen in terms of ratio of ease to impact. Absolutely zero difficult moves, and it looks flawless. The tricky part is getting the shuffle sequence to look so smooth. I suspect that's why it didn't catch on more quickly when Syd Segal published it originally. Just from the written description, is is a clever method, but seems like it might turn out to be just another clunkly triumph that doesn't look quite natural. Luckily we now have visual confirmation of how great this method can look.
If you're Dani DaOrtiz, you should do his triumph (my favorite triumph, and equally simple, technically, but I still don't believe anyone other than Dani could actually pull it off). For everyone who is not Dani, you should learn this one.
