Your right...it is off topic. But I find it a bit more interesting discussion since I think we are all agreed that it would be a lot of fun to get together with a bunch of magicians and do a little "sport cheating." So here...

Another thread inspired this but it was getting off topic so I thought I would give this topic its own thread. My point is, guys who do gambling demos for entertainment generally have a very smooth elegant style that is as beautiful to watch as it is amazing to see the cards controlled in the...

Ahh...I see what you are talking about. The the hand rocking does cover a lot of that finger flutter. That and it is shot from a "friendly" angle. Never the less, on the video there isn't a lot of finger flutter. Not much to get excited about. Go watch "Best of the Bottoms." Even the See-Saw...

I see... I misunderstood the question. By palms I usually think of ways of getting into the palm as well as how they are held. Sorry 'bout the confusion. In that case, Classic. I don't block my tenkai very well. I have had some success with the gamblers cop and I like the fact that it is super...

Read the rest of my post. More interesting question within it is if Gambling demos are just another form of flourishing. Also...I couldn't see much finger flutter on his bottoms at all. They are way better than mine. lol. not hard to do that though. But maybe you can point some flaw about it...

You should probably mention the side steal and the diagonal palm shift. DPS is my favorite but it is situational.

I'd say Daniel Madison's gambling moves look fine. Just watch the video you posted. Now...he isn't in the same level as Forte, Turner, or England but then each of those guys have quite a bit more experience with those moves. Also, FYI, in a real game I think guys who shuffled, cut, and handled...

Heck...Don't worry about Steve Forte'. Just plop Richard Turner in there and watch a blind man school all of them! Anyways, I always wanted to do something like that. An environment where it was cool to cheat and if you got caught you just forfeited whatever you threw into that pot....not your...

Awsome critique Prea. I totally know what you mean. Admittedly this was done to try out the "method" and I performed it for some friends. Now that I know the method is valid I will start developing the patter more. I will definitely take some of your suggestions. Another problem is I live in...

Nope...No stooges.

Thanks guys. That edit was seriously because the server came up and interrupted the performance. You can hear my irritation as I resume the trick. I wanted to get this all in one nice take, especially because the effects starts from an unopened deck of sentinels and I don't have any more of...

Kind of a fun twist for pixel http://www.vimeo.com/20151581

Sorry...It is next on my list for the full on review. I am Still playing catch up on this project. I am finished with the full review of the Bee Ivory SWE deck and I'll post that by the end of the weekend. The current deck I am abusing is the Angel Back Squeezer(Got bumped to the head of the...

I really like adding the torn corner to that effect. Nice work.

I'll second Cullfather by Ian Moran. You will LOVE the MC spread DL. Devistating move. A forced card doubled from the center of the pack.

Here is some more work on this routine. Pardon the fact that it is couched in a card review. I haven't worked much on "Little Bit of patter" but I have been working poker blind quite hard lately. http://vimeo.com/19883667

It is perfectly fine as long as you do it well. I don't have issues with the fact that CA uses stooges for his TV show. I have a problem with how he uses them. Too..."Over the Top" so as to make it obvious that a stooge was used. Ie. cutting open some guys head to pull out a card. Real dumb idea...

Hot humid weather...your best bet is a smooth finish deck. Even these decks will soften up and feel "sloppier" in hot humid weather but you won't notice it as much as with a card with a dimpled surface. Only problem with smooth finish decks is that they tend to be more expensive(not as much...
