"The inviolable rule of the professional is uniformity of action. Any departure from the customary manner of holding, shuffling, cutting or dealing the cards may be noticed, and is consequently avoided... Whether the procedure is true or 'blind,' the same apparent action is maintained throughout." - The Expert at the Card Table, 1902

"Volume upon volume has been written on cards. Paying particular attention to the uniformity of action is generally a minor detail in most compositions. However, this subject is a crucial one. Its implementation helps eliminate suspicion in the minds of the spectators. Connecting the dodges of showing two or three cards as one, the Gemini Count, top change, various false counts, etc., with a common link of uniformity strengthens the overall ability to deceive the already suspicious crowd... The various techniques are logical and the style is compatible with the way most handle playing cards when they are not trying to do a contrived maneuver of some sort. Their utility is far reaching and many of these techniques have served me for over thirty years. On many occasions, they have caught the well-posted card magician off guard for one reason or another." - It's a Matter of Style, 1997

In addition to card effects, Bob White teaches a uniform system for showing a single card, doing double and triple lifts, false counts (including the Elmsley and Gemini counts) and one-handed Tilt.

Solid Card Material Report this review

The material is very good and this video captures the historical work of Bob White by his friends. Very workable material
While this captures the work and is very useable, the video does not have a trackable index for effects and does not follow a typical menu selection for effects or explanations.

Good Video Report this review

This is the second video I have purchased from those put out by Bob White. He is from the Vernon School of card handling and clearly knows what he is doing. He has strong opinions about certain nuances of card handling, which is good. I enjoyed watching him handle some of the classics of card magic, as well as some more obscure ones which some new touches. Recommended.
