Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forum and, because it seems like such a splendid place, wondered if some fellow card fanatics could help me
So, there's a move I'd very much like to learn, but I don't know what it's called. This move was featured in an episode of The Real Hustle and is often used as a cheat in Blackjack. A description of the move is as follows:
Two cards lay face down on the table. The magician has, in some way, two cards palmed, perhaps held by the thumb - but not tenkai. His/her hand is flat. The magician sweeps in their right hand from the right and "turns" over the two cards, in the process exchanging them for the cards in his hand and stealing the two from the table. Viola. Blackjack.
Very impressive move. Very hard, too, I imagine. But I really want to at least try it, as it's such a brilliant move. I've just found a clip of the move performed rather awesomely by Paul Wilson from The Real Hustle:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABTyuzkQF4I (The move is executed from about 2 minutes in)
I would really appreciate any help at all, and hope this is the right place to look.
Thanks
Danny
