Just a poll.
What are your most used card sleights? Maximum of 12, I reckon, to keep it manageable. |

1 top change
2 top palm 3 thumb count dbl 4 dribble shift 5 gamblers cop Notice not one shuffle or cut, ever. IMO their isn't anything more "fair" then leaving the deck alone after a selection has been placed in the "middle somewhere". However, I do realise that a lot of card tricks require the mixing of the deck, but I have absolutely no interest in performing them. Not my cup. |
