Ever had someone say, "I wouldn't want to play cards with you!" after a magic show? Bet you have! And it happens even more when the tricks centre around gambling. Showing off your ability to win at card games like a pro is a surefire way to get your audience buzzing (and possibly a bit wary!).
On this DVD, you'll meet six magicians who are definitely not your ideal poker partners! Harry Lorayne kicks things off with a brilliantly absurd tale about a gambler who can shuffle cards face up and face down (twice, mind you!)—only for them to end up all facing the same way, except for two selected cards. Next up is Marc DeSouza, who, despite letting the spectator call all the shots, still ends up with the winning poker hand (that’s some serious skill!).
Then you’ve got Bill Malone and Michael Ammar, both taking their own cheeky spins on the classic showdown between a gambler and a magician. And who could forget Martin Nash? He shows off an uncanny knack for dealing himself Aces, regardless of where they happen to be lurking in the deck. Finally, Darwin Ortiz wraps things up with two jaw-dropping effects. First, he demonstrates how a cunning gambler can keep all the red and black cards separate, even after several shuffles by the spectators (because why not?). Then, in his astonishing take on the 10-Card Poker Deal, he reveals how a card shark can always come out on top, even when the other player decides how the cards are dealt.
Strong magic plus the thrill of gambling? Now that’s a combo that’s hard to resist! You won’t find a better showcase of this captivating blend than in the performances featured in this volume.
