The Heinstein Shuffle is great as well as the Truffle Shuffle. The difference is that with the Heinstein Shuffle you are able to do the shuffle once or 10 times without cutting. With the Truffle Shuffle you have to use the shuffle twice or otherwise clean it up. The Truffle Shuffle was created...

You've got a good list here. Reading your first description reminds me of Ed Marlo's KM move. It's a clean up for a double lift. Also, look into the use of a double backer to replace a double turn over.

You need to develop quite a lot of strength in your fingers to do this kind of stuff. Most manipulators use manipulation decks or Protea decks along with fanning powder or a homemade substitute. There are also gimmicks for the back palm but it's probably better to learn the classical moves...

To add to Christopher's list Ray's Rise is probably the first to do it. Chris Mayhew created the lazy rise which is similar. Riot by Dan Hauss is a nice version. The Rising by Nicholas Lawrence is a very fun practical and impromptu version. Lloyd Barnes created a version that has influenced many...

I agree, and I concede that the title of the thread was a click baity... it really wasn't my meaning to see who had the best deal. Although I did very little to stop that. Every card sharp values different things in a deal and they do what they can to minimize what they believe are their biggest...

Here's a list of just Marlo's deck switches: -Marlo's Covered Deck Switch -Another Marlo Deck Switch -Marlo's Double Undercut Deck Switch -Cased Switches - 1st Approach: To switch one deck for another -Additions to Switch Out -More Deck Switches (6 methods are taught in this section of Marlo's...

That's what I'm talking about. Marlo has created more gambling moves and demonstrations than all of Madison's creations combined. If we only look at bottom dealing (a gambling move) a partial list includes the following original versions of the deal created by Marlo: -Marnese Bottom -Unit...

I've had a playlist on You Tube featuring various bottom deals for a while it's fun but I decided to put together a montage of some of the most popular bottom dealers in magic and see how they all handle the move.

Daniel Madison has one false deal, a bottom deal that looks like a golf swing. Marlo has written possibly the most extensive treatise of original false deals available. Ed Marlo's specialty was gambling related moves, grips, palms, cops, and deals. He published several center deals and we have...

Here is a list of the books he has published (a few were published well after his death with new material. Infact, L and L have complete DVD sets of his material that they still have not published): Pasteboard Presto (1938) Amazing Isn't It? (1941) Card Fan Productions (1941) Deck Deception...

With all do respect by your own criteria Madison has done almost nothing when compared to Marlo. Marlo has published more magic, cheating and card moves than any other person in history.

Wow! This could be awesome.

It may have been his effect Isabela's Star but it was a casual video taken from a cell phone. Really, any performance video of Astronomical or Hack would be helpful. The video I'm looking for tied it all together really well.

I saw the video probably 2 or 3 years ago before the release of either of his effects Hack or Astronomical. He has been using these two effects for years before they were ever released alone and he included the bulk of the methodology in his lectures for a while. It was a real world routine in...

Hey y'all this is fairly obscure but a few years ago I watched a video of Peter Turner performing magic at a restaurant after a magic convention. From what I remember it was hard to hear anything and the video was probably taken from a cell phone. If anyone is aware of this video please let me...

It's a tough move to track down! Yep, $30 is right. That's a normal price (maybe even on the cheap side) for a Dan and Dave DVD. The DVD that you want is called Surfaced by Chad Nelson. He also had notes on it. Get the DVD though. Another option would be to learn Zach Mueller's version of the...

Patrick Redford has some excellent work on the plot in his book Applesauce. A few you can do with a completely shuffled deck as well.

I highly recommend Aaron Fisher, he is a master and really knows what he's doing (sometimes his voice comes off as a little condescending but I'm pretty sure it's just how he talks). My advice to anyone was stolen from Jon Racherbaumer. Live with a book for a year. Get a good book on magic, any...

Hey great idea! I know that Theory11 has had a few Google Hangouts in the past. It's not the exact same thing you are talking about but similar. Also, if you are a member of SAM they have a virtual assembly meeting from time to time that sounds more similar to what you are talking about. Of...
