I don`t really want to waffle too much about this. There is nothing new here technically, it`s just a "blocking" (for lack of a better word) for going into the turnover to create a nice illusion.Any time I've seen the move done (or described), it is with both cards parallel to each other so the hand must describe a straight line (across the table) in doing the switch. This has an unnatural look and feel to it because, generally, the elbow tucks in and the wrist cocks out to assume the position for the switch (think somebody getting ready for an Elmsley count).
The rest you can see in the video. The motion of the hand is natural and it has a nice side effect that both the fingers and cards just happen to arrive at a perfect position to do the switch with no finger movement whatsoever. The second clip in the video shows the move done more slowly and deliberately than is usual.

Really, really nice... Thanks very much for this video.
I've been meaning to write up a trick that could benefit from the MT, but was hesitant about it simply because I didn't know how convincing it could look. It's a weird paradox that most Monte resources that teach the MT almost always follow it up with saying that they'd never actually use the MT when the heat is on.
Nice work...
that is superb... i have always liked the mexican turnover but was never sure of how good it could look.. its so beautiful ....i was taught to stick the card on the table with the left finger but ur action looks great... thanks
Very nice - great job.
The video link does not work (the one when clicking the black and white picture at the beginning of the post).

Amazing- really, really good.
Looks excellent Mule!! One of the best handlings I've seen of this move.
