Still No Skill? Still Absolutely No Problem!

“This one is really, really good.” – Mike K.

Experience a card trick that captivates your audience like never before. While parting the Red Sea may be legendary, executing a stunning digital jitterbug to reveal four Aces and a Queen, then reassembling the deck to unveil a Royal Flush, is truly remarkable. Even Moses would have to tip his hat to that!

This is just one of the incredible effects featured in Cheat! The Sequel. Imagine a spectator naming any poker hand, and you effortlessly cut the deck into five sections to reveal that exact hand.

If you can cut a deck, you can master these tricks. If cutting a deck isn’t your forte, check out my other manuscript, Card Tricks For People Who Can’t Cut A Deck.

Comprehensive photographs guide you through every step of the process.

A special note from Bob Farmer: Beyond the playful marketing, this manuscript is the culmination of years of research and experimentation. The price reflects the depth of insight provided. It uncovers the origins of a widely used ruse in card magic that has never been thoroughly analyzed until now. I traced its history through 25 magicians, and all that information is shared here.
