Dealer Wins

A good friend of mine is a closeup magician. A few years ago he made some simple yet deceptively brilliant videos of his card skills. I told him he should put them on Youtube for easier sharing. Vimeo is close enough.

These start slow, but watch them both through to the end to be blown away!

"This is pretty much what I showed the manager at the casino when I began my croupier-training, just before the frenzied phone calls to the security office in South Africa and the promised addition of my name to the "not allowed to work in a UK casino" database. Oh well, probably all for the best!"

    After watching the bottom vid, I pulled up the YouTubes and tried learning very simple tricks. Lesson learned: I have no digital dexterity whatsoever.

    I've got plenty of Dexterity, I just have a bit of trouble palming certain objects convincingly. I'm practicing a few coin tricks again, however, after re-reading American gods, and I've been practicing palming sugar-cubes, of all things, during the down-times at work, because it helps to have a few quick tricks up your sleeve(Or in your apron) to keep kids quiet.

    Same here. I really liked the 'Dealer wins" Video though. Especially at the very end.
