@SimonCard
I don't know if you remember but is the guy in the video you posted in this thread: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......617740#5 the same guy in the video you posted here? Unfortunately the video in the older thread is no longer available. However, I was very certain that he faked the demonstration. Hence, it wouldn't be too strange if the tabled second shown here was faked as well. |

Just watched the second video. I say completely fake. Interestingly enough, if he's not using any sticky stuff to glue the first 2 cards together then he at least does a nice "Gin pick" type move. That in itself is worth playing with, but I call BS on this being a second deal.

First video looked OK to me.
Second one is weird. I'm with Jason, whether it's a fake or whether he uses a double and a duplicate. No way he deals seconds. |

Well, I found the idea interesting, I'm sure someone could cook something even better than that (and for real).

I don't see anything like this in Lance's "The Asian Hustle", which (to me) implies it's probably not a real gambling move.
Not to say it couldn't be, but if it was something "real", it seems Lance would have at least noted its existence in his book. I somehow doubt that any legitimate "underground" Asian gambling move is going to show up for the world to watch on Youtube, yet not even get a mention in Lance's book (which set a very high bar for its vertical subject matter). |

That center drawing looks just impossible so I didn't believe it in the first place. However, the second drawing demo looks quite possible so I didn't suspect that it could be fake at first. |

For the classic moves like bottom dealing, second dealing, palming, they all executed it very poorly. For the unusual moves like this one , center drawing demo and slike sleeve demo I posted a while ago, I'm just unsure so I posted them here so the real experts can take a look and make better judgments. |

SimonCard, the veracity of what the demo purports to show doesn't reflect back on your post at all.
The link in your post was a nice find, and generated a detailed analysis in this thread. |

I guess he could be doing a second deal but using a rough card to make it easier. I tried and can’t do what he seems to be doing anyhow.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I belive both video's are the same person.
Identical card backs, similar table top (wood or stain). Same method of squaring the cards and technique, snap pinch from the center. |

My friend just sent me this video. This is the real technique. I played it frame by frame, and I could see the moment when the second card is slipped out below the top card. Hope you enjoy. |

However, if skillful demonstrators like AMcD, JFX and Jason England can't do it in a deceptive manner, then I would say the credibility of the move is in serious question. The problem with all these type (apparently "Asian" videos is), the moves they do, in many cases, are virtually impossible to duplicate by proficient card table manipulators in the real world. But whatever... |

Hi Cagliostro:
I played it on the iphone, and you can drag the progress bar to play it frame by frame. At Claudio said, the second card can be seen to be drawn below the top card. |

@Claudio and SimonCard: I don't know how, or lack the ability, to play the video back frame by frame, but I have no reason to doubt you guys. I only wish I could independently verify myself what is being done.
If real, it is a obviously a great move. If not...it is a clever piece of wizardry. |

I've never practised such a technique, but, for once, it seems possible to me. Maybe I'll try it.
Cag is right, most of the outstanding Asian videos I saw in the past were fake or heavily doctored. Edited to say the very least. So... |

The argument in favor of the validity of the move is compelling, but still... there is only one way to resolve this to everyone's satisfaction.
Demo champions of the Gambling Spot (and you know who your are). The ball is in your respective courts to either duplicate this move or render it a clever fake. Come on guys, we are counting on you. I personally don't have time for something like this because I would have no use for it. Plus, I don't play with moves much nowadays. But...it certainly is intriguing and a move I have not seen before. And...as the music builds towards a crescendo...we all wait in breathless anticipation. By the way, if it can be duplicated, I would surmise it works better with plastic cards. Hmmm. I wonder if Steve Forte can do this move? |

Will there be some sort of recognition for it? Like a honorable mention from Cagliostro? Or a "Cagliostro Cup"...
