Key points
Bold Business is designed for business cards or blank-faced cards, with a preference for the latter to avoid self-promotion.

Techniques include casual gestures for the peek, a double lift followed by a double undercut for control, and handling reluctant spectators with a 'trust me' moment.
Performance tips emphasize attitude as misdirection, focusing on the general shape of the drawing over details, and creating a memorable 'Photo Ending'.
