I'm not sure. I would like to perform a bottom deal when it's reasonable deceptive then practice it until I'm an expert. By the way I've heard that gene maze's book is good?
It is! You heard correctly. My advice would be to study these resources in this order:
1. Jason England -
The Bottom Deal download. This will give you all you need to get started and enough knowledge to start developing a bottom deal technique that suits you. To be honest, you could stop here, as you could easily spend the next ten years mastering the minutiae of the ideas Jason teaches. But, if you want to go further and immerse yourself in the world of bottom deals then read on.
2. Allan Ackerman -
Advanced Card Control Volume 2 DVD. This teaches a wide variety of false deals, mainly from the pages of Marlo's
Seconds, Centers and Bottoms, and is useful to give you an additional perspective and some more unusual techniques.
3. S W Erdnase -
The Expert at the Card Table book. I love Erdnase, but I've deliberately put him this far down the list as the bottom deal technique he teaches isn't the easiest for the small-handed amongst us to pick up (despite the author probably having smaller hands himself). If you've already learned from Jason and Allan, though, you'll have a headstart and won't find the Erdnase technique as frustrating as you otherwise might.
4. Richard Turner -
The Cheat: Best of the Bottoms DVDs. Richard has some techniques and thinking all of his own, and executes them flawlessly. This will take you even further down the bottom deal rabbit-hole.
5. Steve Forte -
The Gambling Protection Series DVDs. Less a teaching tool than a demonstration and protection aid, this will give you something to aspire towards and whet your appetite to become a true master. Either that or demoralise you completely when you compare your skill to Mr Forte's, so thats why I've left this until now on the list!
6. Gene Maze -
The Art of Bottom Dealing book. I think that, pound for pound, this might be the best resource on bottom dealing around, but I don't necessarily think it's a beginners book. If you've been working through this list, though, this is where I think you'll find it most beneficial.
There are loads more bottom deal resources but if you get this far down the list, I doubt you'll need anyone's guidance as to where to go next!
