Discover Cristóbal’s Gambling Demonstration
This captivating gambling demonstration is featured in Cristóbal’s show “Cartas Bajo Control” (“Cards Under Control”). Spanning approximately ten minutes, it showcases four impressive phases that highlight extraordinary skills, including card location during shuffling, estimation, card control, and the renowned center deal. You’ll be able to deal the four aces without spectators discerning your method, even if they are aware of your intentions.
No prior knowledge of the center deal is required, though familiarity with certain techniques will be beneficial. The ebook provides references and links, including alternative handling methods.
Additionally, this ebook introduces original techniques for the first time, including:
-
A multiple card control technique that maintains the deck’s order while giving the impression of a genuine shuffle and cut.
-
An innovative method for stacking any number of cards for players: spectators place the four aces face up anywhere in a face-down deck, and without shuffling or visibly moving any cards, the magician can deal the four aces to a player during a game.
These techniques and concepts can be integrated into your own routines, and each phase can be performed independently.
Key features of the routines include:
-
Utilization of a single deck.
-
The deck is shuffled by spectators, requiring no setup.
-
No extra cards, gimmicks, or props are involved.
-
You can perform this demonstration spontaneously with a shuffled deck.
-
It can be performed surrounded, with no lapping or deck switches.
Overview of the routines:
-
“My Favorite Cards”: The spectator shuffles the deck, and the chosen four of a kind magically transforms into the four aces.
-
“Dealing the Aces (with Surprise)”: A thrilling poker demonstration.
-
“Locating and Estimating”: The magician illustrates how gamblers can determine the exact position of cards while shuffling, allowing for the sequential location of the four aces.
-
“The Center Deal”: After explaining the center deal, the spectator loses the four aces face up in the face-down deck. The magician then deals five hands, revealing the aces face up from the middle of the deck without any shuffles or cuts.
The stacking method detailed in this ebook is a valuable addition to your repertoire. Esteemed experts like Juan Tamariz and Dani DaOrtiz have lauded its simplicity and fairness, making it worth every penny of the ebook’s price.
