Use the Minus One Bottom Deal as a fake center deal. (You will need the description of the Minus One Bottom Deal to perform this move.)

runtime: 32s

'Minus one' means that you do not deal the bottom card but the second from the bottom - sort of a second but dealt from the bottom. This is an Allan Ackerman invention and uses a push off bottom technique.

runtime: 1min 57s

This is essentially a Heirophant Change but using a bottom deal instead of a second deal.

runtime: 59s

This is another Ed Marlo creation - a stud bottom deal.

runtime: 1min 47s

Allan Ackerman invented this Put-In-Place (or PIP) bottom deal where the spectator is left with a very clean visual which seems to rule out a bottom deal.

runtime: 2min 14s

Use the same action as with the Push Off One-Handed Bottom Deal to produce the illusion of a changing card.

runtime: 37s

This push off one-handed bottom deal achieves a perfect illusion.

runtime: 1min 32s

Allan teaches a nice and smooth one-handed stud bottom deal that can also be used as force.

runtime: 1min 11s

Spectator touches any card. The card is outjogged. In a brush-off action, the outjogged card is switched with the bottom card in the deck.

runtime: 1min 3s

The bottom deal, one of the most versatile moves in card magic, can be used for a wonderfully deceptive force.

runtime: 1min 27s

The strike bottom deal is less versatile and needs a lot of practice to get right. It can be performed from an Erdnase grip or a standard mechanics grip.

runtime: 2min 2s

Allan describes how to avoid some of the most widely made errors with the bottom deal.

runtime: 3min 53s

The Movie Second Deal is really more a flourish than a second deal. It is a one-handed second where you pull out the second card and place it on top with the thumb.

runtime: 48s

John Cornelius' improvement significantly improves on the angles of the Heirophant Change.

runtime: 1min 1s

The heirophant change is a color change that happens while a card is snapped to the table. It was developed by Ed Marlo.

runtime: 1min 4s

This is a magician's fooler second deal developed by Ed Marlo. It allows you to deal 5th, 4th, 3rd, and seconds flawlessly.

runtime: 2min 7s

Under the disguise of counting a few cards off the top of the deck you can perform a second deal and displace cards.

runtime: 38s

You will learn two one-hand get-readies to prepare for the Mechanical Second Deal.

runtime: 1min 50s

This is Ed Marlo's mechanical second deal.

runtime: 1min 13s

Stud means that the cards are turned face-up during dealing. Allan teaches here a strike stud second deal.

runtime 1min 8s

This one-handed second deal has an interesting and very deceptive push-off because initially you push off only one card.

runtime: 1min 22s

With a bit of neck-tieing the deck you can turn a push off second deal into a very effective card change.

runtime: 46s

This is a variation of the classic push off second deal where the thumb works from the top edge of the package rather than the long side edge of the deck.

runtime: 55s

Allan teaches the basic push off second deal. Very similar push off techniques are also used for double lifts or to get a break beneath the top two cards.

runtime: 1min 25s
