SNC Roundtable Discussion : Jason England - The Center

[j.bayme]

Tonight's event will be a roundtable discussion hosted by critically acclaimed card mechanic Jason England - a close friend of Steve Forte and one of the best card handlers in the world today. Late last night, we released Jason's latest 1-on-1 training video on The Center Deal. See it here. Tonight is your chance to ask the man himself any question that comes to mind on the Center Deal, the Bottom Deal, card handling, card magic - or anything else you've been waiting to ask.

This will be Jason's second roundtable discussion here on theory11, with past discussions available to listen in the archive. Limit of three questions per member. All questions must be submitted on or before 10:00pm EST. We will hand pick a select group of questions to be asked in the podcast, which will be posted on or before 11:00pm EST.

One random member whose question is asked during the podcast will receive a 1-on-1 download of The Center Deal or any 1-on-1 you choose. Looking forward to a great discussion tonight.

UPDATE : This week's podcast has been posted. Listen to it now here, or right click here to download the MP3 directly.

Have you ever been caught cheating in a card game?

When it comes to sleight of hand/card technique, is there anything you haven't learned yet that you would like to?

 

[Donald C.]

How long did it take you to perfect the center deal?
Why did you pick doing gambling moves for your magic style over different styles such as geek magic or flourishing?
Thank you
-Donald

1. Why release the Center Deal? The Center Deal is one of the hardest sleights in magic and card cheating. It also has a very interesting history. Many magicians and card cheats may even consider it disrespectful to magic and card cheating to release such a sleight. So what made you decide to release this in video form?

2. How did you get started in card cheating? As an add on, what got you interested in card cheating? (Obviously a 2 part question.)

 

[tally-ho]

[tally-ho]

3. how do you like to present your gambling, as pure skill or magic?

 

[7uPyOuRs]

How many times have you cheated at cards?

Do you think it is wrong to cheat?

What is the first "move" you think a beginning card gambler should learn as a base?

 

[sky_lark]

Limit of three questions per member.

Hint, hint.

1. What was your inspiration to create these beautiful card cheating techniques?

2. Why do you spend so many years perfecting these moves? Card cheating, while intriguing, is discouraged in casinos all over the world. Why card cheating?

3. Are you more of a performer or a creator? Why?

Sorry if I duplicate any questions.

Thanks!
