Let’s face it: if you're a magician performing card tricks, you’ve heard it before—“I wouldn’t want to play cards with you!” And honestly, who could blame them? When you’re flipping cards like a pro, the thought of facing off against you in a game of chance sounds like a one-way ticket to disaster. This download is a treasure trove of gambling routines that will leave your audience both amazed and a little wary of ever playing cards again.
In this first volume, you’ll be introduced to a lineup of six magicians who are definitely not your average card sharks. First up, we have Harry Lorayne spinning a wild tale about a gambler buddy who can shuffle cards face up into face down (twice, mind you!) and somehow manages to have them all end up facing the same way—except for, of course, the two selected cards. Classic Lorayne! Next, Marc DeSouza takes you through a routine where the spectator gets to make every choice, yet somehow, Marc still walks away with the royal flush. Talk about a magician’s intuition!
Bill Malone and Michael Ammar bring their unique flair to the timeless showdown of gambler versus magician, each with a twist that’ll keep your audience on the edge of their seats. And then there’s Martin Nash, who makes dealing himself Aces look like child’s play, regardless of where they happen to be hiding in the deck. Finally, Darwin Ortiz closes the show with two killer routines: first, he demonstrates how a gambler can keep all the red cards separate from the black—no matter how many times the spectators shuffle them. And in his jaw-dropping version of the classic 10-Card Poker Deal, he shows how a card sharp can always come out on top, even when the other player thinks they’re making all the big decisions.
Combining strong magic with the allure of gambling is a recipe for unforgettable performances, and this volume is packed with some of the best examples of that irresistible mix.
