This video is about psychological forcing, and not specifically about the tricks he uses to
demonstrate the different forces (and things that look like them). Even still, you'll definitely be
able to pull off the effects shown in the trailer pretty much exactly as shown. You definitely need
to practice to get the flow and instant response.
His modification to the Zarrow shuffle
seems hard at first. But notice if you do Faro shuffles often enough, you begin to nearly always cut
at the exact centre of the deck (26 cards), and can tell pretty quickly if you missed the mark.
Peter has taken that ability a logical step forward. As a memdeck user, I'm going to be using this
for sure.
For the people who think it is staged because of the common recurring numbers -
when you try these out in public, you'll quickly discover that this is no exaggeration. He kills 3
immediately because of it.
It is interesting that the spec comes away feeling like they
kept changing their mind when it was really directed. Lots of methods demonstrated for getting
there. Pretty clever.
The "jazzing" at the end of the video is highly entertaining. There
is a lot to be learned in that segment alone.
The video plus the PDF should keep you busy
for a while. It's quite a lot of material once you start working on it.
The biggest lesson:
Practice and observe - take advantage of *everything* available to you.
Not for Beginners
