Workshop - Deception with Cards
Workshop - Deception with Cards
This small group workshop will cover a range of card work including gambling material, advanced techniques, some published and unpublished work.
LOST SET
A card set of 4 impossible performance pieces unpacked in every detail - sharing my approach using deception with cards to deeply fool and affect people. Outlines layering methods to make backtracking impossible. Including unpublished details of deception more suited to this format.
STACK WORK - previously unpublished
An incredibly useful concept in stack work: A deck is mixed, random cards are cut, remembered or hidden aside and yet are always able to be announced by the card sharper. A multi-phase demonstration of impossible insights, each phase setting up the next. Can be done with any random-looking stack.
DEVIOUS GAFFS AND GIMMICKS
Exploring applications for a range of gaffs and gimmicks - including gaffed cards, hidden gimmicks for card locations and mind-reading, switching cup (dice). Gaffs available to buy (limited availability).
SLEIGHTS, UTILITIES AND CONCEPTS
A killer card control, looks perfectly fair.
Switching decks: Technique, timing and tips.
A sleight-free card concept applied to the any card/number plot.
A utility concept for gambling demonstrations - always cut or deal to winning cards
A seldom discussed or seen and ultra-fooling card concept - know or locate cards merely peeked then shuffled while your back is turned. This will fool the most advanced card workers.
My work on several sleights, along with applications and thinking on making sleights more deceptive.
Workshop notes provided.
