This was an awesome newsletter. I have always loved Topsy Turvy cards and so enjoyed twumph. But Stupid Cupid was a great find too. I really think you could make something of the fact that although it seemed insignificant years ago, the fact that this person with this name was the first love/kiss, was what made the trick work. Someone else with a longer or shorter name and the trick might not have worked. Awesome!

I did think you could get the name of the person with a peek device or similar but maybe that’s unnecessary. I’d have loved to have seen Eugene Burger performing this one-I reckon his presentational touches could make this a memorable trick. Thanks for sharing.

Try O'Keefe's Working Man's Hand Cream, a tiny dab goes long way and is the best hand preparation I have used, and one of the cheapest. Another plus si that it does not leave any residue on your cards/coins.

An effect that goes well with this is in Karl Fulves Computer Dating from Impromptu Card Tricks ( also part of Self Working Card Tricks,) and the next effect in the book Dating Game, and also a Jim Steinmeyer effect, The King’s Coronation, from his booklet Further Impuzzibilities.

The well known matching effect "the last two cards match" can also be adapted to the same theme..
