That would explain a lot. Sorry I guess we were talking around eachother. Yes, standard Poker ettiquette(at least in the US) is the dealer shuffles, passes the cards to the player directly to the right. That player may cut or check the cut. If he/she cuts it is usually done by cutting the top...

I think it is looking just fine. I honestly think you can follow my previous advice, follow standard table procedures, nullify the cut(use a crimp if you want) then pass out the deck as an after thought. Like, "Oh wait! you know what would make this more interesting...why don't you deal." Point...

Your Earick One Handed Bottom is pretty nice! I just can't seem to get my cards out of "cop" and into "full palm" without cheating. Good stuff.

I had the same problem and started doing a get ready, much as you would eith a greek deal. Just imagine a greek without the cut card and you will get the idea. I'm told that it is actually a Martin Nash technique but I don't know from where? Ben Earls is not a bad bottom but I have honestly...

Huh?....he didn't say he was pissed....he said he thought Ben Earl "looked" pissed. I would say there was a moment where Earl looked defensive. I would have been too. Miscalling a series of peeks and riffle culls and stacks for a False shuffle may seem like a small point but I know that I, who...

Just have the speactator cut the deck towards the dealer(you) and the dealer(you) completes the cut. That is standard table ettiquette at many tables and give you the chance to perform a drop shift or a hop. If you don't know either of those you can still place the packets together leaving a...

Good stuff. Only criticism. There were some pretty big "blocks" of cards being intentionally or unintentionally protected while you stacked. Recently I have taken to protecting the merge of the packs by blocking the front view with my fingers. Much in the same way that you would with a Zarrow...

I think your show is awsome Dodd! Great way to kill an hour while practicing. Have you already interviewed Richard Turner? If so I missed it. Edit**nevermind....just found it!

Okay...here it is, Not real sure about this and I think I will go a different direction. While I can do all these routines it just seems that I can't seem to get through an entire performance with out flashing something or doing something kind of clunky. Problem with the camera is it doesn't...

I don't know about that color collection? I recommend getting cards that match whetever gaff deck you have. The ultra Gaff is a nice collection of gaff cards. Probably the best blend of passive(gaffs you don't notice) and active gaffs(gaffs you notice like the 10D 6C mish mash card). You may not...

I'd say get Royal Road to Card magic and a brick(12) decks of any USPCC mid range cards(Bikes, Tally-ho, Aviator, whatever is relatively cheap in your country) No offence to you but as a beginner you probably won't appreciate the quality difference in a pack of Sentenals. If you live in a...

Thanks for the kind words SG! As you can see by all the TBD(to be determined) on the charts there definitely are more to come. I have at least 8 with OOB score all lined up for longevity reviews. I could be busy for most of 2011! Oh well...everyone has to have a hobby. Mine is trashing cards!

A decent approach. Going to the color changing deck was a nice call. Sometimes Panic can be hard to follow...(meaning it is a good closer) so going with that color change was a smart choice. Might futs around with you pocket management and see if you can't pull the deck out of the same pocket...
