My sleight of hand is starting to improve and I'm starting to move to more complex tricks because of that.. I want to maybe start posting a few videos for tips feedback, but I digress...

If I could learn one trick, for the rest of time, it would be card or dollar bill under watch.  I have an idea for it that I think could be extremely powerful and be a centerpiece for my act for years to come. I know Asi Wind has an unreal version he does, but I want to try to find the technique in it's purest form so I can almost build from scratch. Does anyone know where I can buy a book or DVD from a top tier talent?  Out of curiosity, does anyone here already know how it's done and if so is it complex?

Thanks!

Starting to get better...have to stay dedicated...can't lose any more cards in the middle of a trick.  Literally, completely lost a card.

Although I've not done card or dollar under watch, I have done coin under watch. It's the same principle for all versions though - misdirection. Plays a huge part.
Oz Pearlman has a DVD out for coin under watch, you can purchase it from penguin magic. Personally, I think you should contact Johnny Ace Palmer via his website. Request for his lecture notes, very concise.

Pit Hartling has a handling for card under watch that he used in his FISM act. I can't remember the name of the book he released it in though, sorry.

I took a shot in the dark and e-mailed JAP.  I might purchase something from Pit Hartling, but there are so many options I'm not really sure where to start.  Thanks, I really appreciate your help!!
