Allan's PIP or Put-In-Place technique is here applied to a push off center deal.

runtime: 59s

The push-off-center deal is quite a bit harder to do than the strike-center deal, but it is also more versatile. Allan executes it flawlessly.

runtime: 2min 43s

The center deal is a tough move. This strike center deal is probably one of the easier ways to achieve a center deal. Using this deal Allan teaches a center deal demonstration where you only need to deal one card from the center and the rest comes from the top - making it a lot easier to perform.

Double dealing means dealing the top and bottom card at the same time. This variaiton is done with one hand.

runtime: 39s

The double deal is taking the top and bottom card at the same time. The open double deal is an idea by Marlo which eliminates the card alignment issue.

runtime: 54s

The bottom deal can be used to position certain cards at certain locations during a counting procedure.

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.

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.

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.
