Hey Sean,
PH's Blackjack Challenge is quite the thing already... you want to add on to it?
maybe i read that wrong. You just want to use Cheng's Change in the routine but your not so hot on the Royal Flush production in a long Blackjack routine? Cheng's Change is a 5 card to 5 card change with 2 of the cards remaining the same, so that is a bit tricky to fit into the game of Blackjack. If you talk about card cheating and gambling in the routine you could produce 5 Aces with the change. I have played around with this and like the idea of 5 aces at the end of a routine, but then you would have to work in the extra aces somehow.
It was kind of an idea that I was playing with last night. My original plan was to use Cheng's Change to reveal the royal flush rather than the Ascanio spread in the original version, but then I decided I wanted to scrap the royal flush at the end to keep the routine purely a blackjack routine. However, I think I'll keep it thanks to everyone's help with justifying it.
I've also come up with a story that's about everyone's favorite dealer because all he can deal are blackjacks, and at the end the dealer states that he doesn't really like blackjack and is more of a poker player and produces the royal flush.
@Rick, that sounds like a great idea! It's just a matter of how to load the chips in the cards. Or, I can have the chips appear under the cards after I flip the pairs to show the blackjack. Hmm....
Anyway, thanks guys! You've all been a great help!
