Good Morning magic fraternity!
I was at a competition the other night, where I got to see Rus ANDREWS perform amongst other great magicians, and I saw Rus perform a poker routine that I have never seen before, in fact I watched him perform it twice on two different tables and it still stunned me. I know this is something he has been working on for some time now, but he has kept this to himself, Im still puzzled how he accomplished the effect? He had a spectator remove a deck of cards from its case, and then asked the spectator to shuffle them thoroughly, once they were happy he had the spectator cut the deck glimpse a card, thus committing it to memory and then re-shuffle the deck. He then asked the spectator to add four other cards to that card in their mind to create the highest possible poker hand possible? Once they had done this, Rus took the deck gave it another shuffle, took a quick glance at the spectator and started to scan through the deck removing 5 playing cards, which he placed faced down on the table, the rest of the cards were placed aside. He then asked the spectator to think about their poker hand starting with the lowest card? As the cards on the table were turned face up you could see from the look on the spectators face that the hand Rus had created was identical to that the spectator had in mind! And to take it one step further, he then produced a photo of him actually holding that specific poker hand at a poker game!! The deck was handed to the spectator to examine, everything was clean and the photo was left with the spectator. Anyone know of anything like this? JK |

Did the spectator say at any moment what he had in mind out loud? Because you only say "you could see from the look on the spectators face that the hand Rus had created was identical to that the spectator had in mind!"

Spectator never mentioned his card once, that was the part that stunned me the most!

So how can you be sure Rus found the right combination if there is no proof ?

From the look on the spectators face as he slowly revealed the cards one by one, it was only after all 5 cards had been turned over that the spectator confirmed that, that was the exact poker hand he had been thinking of...
At that point Rus removed a photo from his wallet that had been on view the entire time and the photo showed Rus at a poker game, and the poker hand he was holding in the picture matched that of the spectators. JK |

As you know, he is releaseing this as an e-book now. Just go to that section and it will all be revealed. Just hype here.

The method behind this is pure genius, Rus' best work in my opinion.
This will fool a lot of magicians If this going to be in limited supply be sure to be one of the ones that gets it! |

1) are you going behind someones back, asking us to tell you how another magician does one of (what you believe to be one of) his original tricks from his working repertoire. Doesn't that seem a little slimy? Why not ask him.
2) having said that, let's hope he talks to bob farmer before he tries to sell this. |

Bob Farmer has an effect called Tsunami which sounds similar to Rus' (haven't seen Rus' so I don't know).

Hi
Okay I have done further research with this effect in regards to Truth tellers post about Bob Farmers effect… Enemy at the card table is a different effect, the methods are different, I am a big fan of Bob’s effects (Alice’s revenge being a favourite) Enemy at the card table is performed completely in the spectator’s hands, all the work is done by them. The revelation can be done numerous ways, which ever suits your style…. The photo ending for me is the killer ending; this truly leaves them no-where to go. I had magicians trying to back track the effect at a competition where I first performed this, not one could figure the method. Everything is examinable; the entire effect including shuffling etc is done by the spectator. Only 3 people currently have my method for this, and are currently field testing it, as soon as I get word back, which I have been told one, has performed this several times and has had great reactions I will finish the eBook. This has been an exciting project for me and my most guarded effect. This will be limited. Any questions let me know All the best R |

Is the principle used in your effect similar to "X-ray" from Ben Harris?

No, X-ray is a completely different method.

Bob has two versions in his manuscript. Most do the impromptu one. You might wish to think about the other.
Also, the idea of building the highest poker hand on a selected card is something I have been doing as part of my tsunami routine for a few years. I have taught it to several magicians including Norman beck. Jarod kopf, Michael weber and bob farmer. Mentioning it here just so it goes on record. |

Rus is a consciencious creator of effects and I know that he is speaking to Bob Farmer regarding this in order to ensure that everything is done correctly, I can tell you this for fact that the methods behind Tsunami and Enemy at the Card Table are different.

I was talking to bob today. There are definite similarities. But he is doing the right thing and I am sure it will all be worked out.
