    Revolutionary Card Technique?

    I have Marlos RCT and its one of my fav books. Its always being picked up out of my library. The Faro Chapters alone is what was worth picking up for me. The Second, Centers, and Bottoms is awsome. Marlos material ranges from the easy to the knuckle busting. The practical to the...

    Dai Vernon

    I would have to go with revelation. Its Vernons take on Erdnase. Plus all the extra goodies like the Walter Scott, Kennedy Center, Riffle Cull, and much more. The introduction by David Ben is great. Telling the ups and downs Vernon went in trying to write the book and get it published...

    Darwin Ortiz 10 DVD Collection vs His Books.

    Well unfortunatly At the Card Table is Out of Print and I think CardShark is too now. The main diffrence is that all the effects from the books is not on the DVD. Only certain effects are on the dvds. You can only put so much on a dvd so things get left out. The dvds are still a great buy...

    Deck Grips?

    In Marlos RCT on Pg 250 figure 18 in the seconds, centers and bottoms Marlo discusses about Shifting the Inner Corner. It shows you the High grip, Mechanics grip, and his Master Grip. On page 297 of the same chapter he discusses The S.F grip named from Sharps and Flats. Its pretty much the...

    Do you think this is real? Or is it a stooge?

    I would have to say it was legit. In GPS he demonstrates shuffle control in a to Jason England. He used a half deck contol and seperated all the high cards from the low cards. I have watched this clip time and time agian and I believe is legit. but Im not always right

    The Annotated Erdnase?

    Revelations was Dai Vernons obsession. It was his most studied book. Plus its the Professors thoughts, corrections and improvements on Erdnase. Just an awsome book. I honestly would recommend both. Both are great additions to any card workers lybrary. Revelations was the first...
