A convincing poker demonstration and more.
A routine of poker deals that can be performed without long practice or great skill, plus it can be done anywhere and with absolutely any pack!
The performer deals two-handed stud, five-handed stud, four and five-handed draw poker, and finally gives an exhibition of "cold deck" work.
The magician has absolute control of the cards at all times and yet no resort is made to bottom dealing, second dealing, shuffle stacking or other difficult methods. This routine is a boon to the performer who is requested, after he has performed a few card effects, to "show us how gamblers win." With this routine you can do it after an hour's practice.
Includes other card effects, too. You'll learn how to permit a spectator to shuffle the cards as much as he desires and then, while he's in another room, to select any card, replace it in the pack and immediately shuffle again to his heart's content - and yet the performer finds the selected card.
And there are other tricks described in the book that are just as good. Originally sold for the equivalent of $40.00 when first published.
