I'm using a very small addition to Don's demo. At the part where I say, "When you riffle 'em one way, they're all different and ordinary..." I riffle 'em, showing the indifferent cards. Then I add, "So your friend says, 'Oh, I know where all those aces are, they're on the bottom'" and I point to the bottom of the deck.
I rotate the deck, top to bottom and say, "Ya know, you're right (I riffle the deck again) they're all aces."--showing the indifferent cards again. "But---when you turn the deck around..." And continue Don's demo. The reason I've added this bit of biz is that recently MANY people tell me all the aces are on the bottom, so in my opinion, this is just a little more mystification. Jon |

I swear all the years I pitched I can't remember ever having someone say all the "key " cards are on the bottom...not once.Thats funny.
David Walker did a trick in the pitch where he cut the deck in half.He showed all different cards in one half and all key cards in the other half.Than he took a key card in the half he showed them and added it to the half that he showed all different cards and than that half turned to all key cards and the othet half was now all different....than you put the two halves together and show them all the same than all different.Its a good trick but it took too long so I axed it from the pitch.Play with if you like and add it if you think it helps sell more decks... Later,Don |

Don -- this two-pile split of the deck sounds like it would be a real good "convincer" if some of the tip is on the edge about buying a deck and needs a little push.
Hey Jon, keep polishing that pitch, sounds like it's getting pretty shiny! SETH

Don, I used that trick in my demos while working in the magic shops. I would tell them that this how the trick worked... The best part was, with the wording I used I wasn't lying at all. It was my favorite part, and I did it very quickly.
