I loved this demonstration of gambling skills with a magical kicker! I had never worked on 2nds and
to that end, I downloaded Jason England's (theory11) excellent beginners lesson on the strike
second. While not up to performance speed,
within a few weeks, the seconds were starting to
flow; as Paul points out, you don't have to master the strike second for the effect to work and it
is a great routine to encourage mastery of the second. Most importantly, the routine makes it fun to
practice seconds!

The trick assumes that you can do a halfway decent strike second deal. If you can't do that, the
instructions won't help you much. There is some discussion on second dealing technique at the end of
the video, but much less than I expected. It is not likely to be enough for most folk to get you
dealing seconds. You will need to research second dealing on your own.

The name of the game is second deals. If you have ever wanted to learn them or if you do already
perform them you don't want to miss out on this. He teaches second deals and makes it so easy to
learn. The routine is simple and makes the second steal happen right in front of the audience faces
to where they don't even know when it is happening when they know to look for it. I love this
routine

I love tricks where you are apparently exposing a move, and then you use that move to fool the
spectators. This trick also offers the opportunity to practice your second deal every time you
perform the trick, so if yours is not very good it will get better without the pressure of getting
caught.

This is a very well thought out effect that gets top rating from me. It still requires some practice
and if you do seconds this trick kills. For those who don't do seconds the explanations alternative
is sufficient to not take the high rating away. Its a steal at the download price. Enjoy! happy &
healthy holidays to all.

It is not often you find an effective and impressive Gambling Routine that can evolve as your
proficiency increases. This routine is both a fantastic way to practice live card manoeuvres as a
beginner, and to demonstrate skill for those more experienced.

I like this trick but it needs a move that requires a lot of practice to be smooth. R. Paul Wilson
gives you good advices to help you.

If you don't do a second deal don't expect to learn many tips here. He says pretty much straight
away he's not going to go into it and that's a real shame as he's very good at it himself.
There are some references and scant info a bit later on, but that's it...I felt like I'd just
been told to sort it out myself "by your favourite method".
Mr Wilson didn't look delighted
to be sharing the routine either, but despite this I can see the potential...should I ever be able
to master the move.
