This is a well thought out Dai Vernon version of the Glide. Every finger position and movement has its reason. The Glide is not necessarily the most deceptive move, but it is easy to do. This version is very deceptive. As is so often the case, Vernon elevates a simple move to a masterpiece of deception.

The Shank Shuffle, a full deck false shuffle, was published in 1971 on Ed Marlo's behalf by Jon Racherbaumer. The Zarrow shuffle came out around the same time.

The one-card middle pass is a versatile, although relatively unknown and underused sleight. Raymonde Crow teaches this powerful move, plus several unique variations of what he calls the Sandwich Pass, which will enable you to instantly control a card to second-from-the-bottom, to create a sandwich effect, and to move a card into gambler's cop.

In addition, Raymonde teaches two of his go-to card effects for the Sandwich Pass, the Comedy Sandwich and The Prince and the Pauper, from his book As the Crow Flies, available here at Lybrary.com. These powerful effects require no setup or gaffs, and can be done with...
