Could any one direct me to the book or DVD that has Aldo 10 card Poker Deal? And, what is the name of his effect?
Thanks |

Here is about the effect. Never complete as usual, but not far from it as usual. Aldo's work is in there and even if he sells his effect with jumbo cards on his site, you can very easily perform it with regular poker size cards.
Aronson, Simon: A Stack to Remember 1979 manuscript: Ten Card Poker Deal; the cards at the 29th to 38th of his stack allow to perform the Ten Card Poker Deal effect. & Bound To Please 1994; p. 122 Ten Card Poker Deal allows to hand the deck over to the spectator for dealing the cards himself but still being sure to win. Ackerman, Alan: Ten Card Poker Deal: first phase is the classic with shuffling half way through, the second phase is dealt face up; the third phase is done with the flop face down but only one card is dealt face down and all the others are dealt face up. Allerton, Bert: The Phoenix # 170 February 11th 1949 page 681 Ten Card Deal P.S. Bert Allerton suggests that once the two first cards have been dealt to announce that the game will be Stud Poker and to show the spectator the eight remaining cards leaving him a free choice of four of them. He also suggests to use the Biddle move to count the ten cards from the deck before giving them to the spectator for shuffling.

The four he left you with are the four aces & Onyx [Ken Simmons' magazine]. In “Free Will” the magician and the spectator received only four cards each. It too used an extra card plus several spelling sequences. Peter cites his inspiration as Alex Elmsley’s “It’s a Small World”, which was first published in “The New Pentagram” in 1974. Then reprinted in “The Complete Works of Alex Elmsley”, Vol.2 (Minch, 1994). This used a very bold ‘behind the back’ ruse where the spectator chose five cards from a packet of ten face down cards. His turned out to be all red cards, leaving you with five black cards. Elmsley said that the plot related to Dr. Daley’s “Rouge et Noir” (Phoenix: No. 287, August 14th 1953, pages 1146 to 1149), and Hans Trixer’s “Noir et Rouge” (Abracadabra: Vol. 17, No. 419, February 6th 1954, pages 35 to 37), which were two of the earliest packet versions of Paul Curry’s “Out of This World” & Card School 1995 Backfire Poker: This is a variation of Jim Steinmeyer's 'The Ten Boys Poker Deal' which appeared in the December issue of Magic.

Jermay, Luke: 10 Card Poker Deal first round is won by the magician chosing first; second round follows the same principle but after a slop shuffle (spectator indicates whether the performer should take a face up or face down card); does the same and when the spectator gets the Jonah card, the other cards are turned face up and the spectator chooses where the cards are going to as the performer bets his sun glasses and then his watch.

If the bottom card is a heart, burn the top card and deal two hands of poker. If the bottom card is a spade, have the deck cut again Show that you won the game with two pair over one pair!

King, Bob: http://www.bobkingmagic.com/ Power Poker involves four spectators and a good idea for increasing the money at stake in each phase.

The performer shuffles the deck and deals 5 hands of poker. He wins with a full house. This is repeated but this time the performer allows the spectators to trade hands with him at any time. The performer still wins. The performer now plays one on one with one of the spectators with only ten cards. The performer turns over two cards at a time face up allowing the spectator to pick either card for his hand. The performer takes the one remaining. Still the performer wins. Finally he plays a hand of stud poker with he and the spectator each getting a hole card face down. As the remaining four cards are dealt face up, the spectator is allowed to exchange any of his face up cards for any of the performers face up cards. Then he even allows the spectator to exchange hole cards! Finally he allows the spectator to exchange the entire hand if he wishes! Still, the performer wins: after the hands have been dealt, and just before they are turned up to reveal the winner, the performer gives the spectator the opportunity to exchange his hand for yours. If he does... he loses. If he doesn't... he loses. This is Nick Trost's great improvement on the ten card poker deal with a specially printed card that allows the "Jonah" card to change at the performer's will. It’s an eighteen card Poker Deal, excellent routine and the 'Jonah card' changes in each round. An absolute killer routine involving no sleight of hand. The final phase of this routine is just incredible. Tucker, Stephen: Red Hot Poker aims at guaranteeing to always get a Royal Flush. http://homepages.tesco.net/stephen.tucker1/index.htm The following routines are not variations of the old “Ten Card Poker Deal”, where you only had to ensure that the spectator received one specific card of ten to guarantee that you would win. With that routine you had no idea what kind of hand you would both end up with. The inspiration for the routines in this e-book came after Andrew Hawkes drew my attention to Dave Solomon’s routine mentioned below. Andrew later drew my attention to Andrew Murray’s routine, also mentioned below. However, the basic plot is Alex Elmsley’s from his “Power Poker” on his first videotape “The Magic Of Alex Elmsley, Volume One” (L&L Publishing 1997). It used an extra card (or an equivoque) and several bottom deals. After working on my routines, I emailed Peter Duffie, to see if he had published anything on this plot. He kindly emailed me his “Free Will” routine from his “Deck Direct” book (1998), with permission to include it in this e-book. “Free Will” was also published in Ken Simmons' magazine “Onyx”. In “Free Will” the magician and the spectator received only four cards each. It too used an extra card plus several spelling sequences. Peter cites his inspiration as Alex Elmsley’s “It’s a Small World”, which was first published in “The New Pentagram” in 1974. Then reprinted in “The Complete Works of Alex Elmsley”, Vol.2 (Minch, 1994). This used a very bold ‘behind the back’ ruse where the spectator chose five cards from a packet of ten face down cards. His turned out to be all red cards, leaving you with five black cards. Elmsley said that the plot related to Dr. Daley’s “Rouge et Noir” (Phoenix: No. 287, August 14th 1953, pages 1146 to 1149), and Hans Trixer’s “Noir et Rouge” (Abracadabra: Vol. 17, No. 419, February 6th 1954, pages 35 to 37), which were two of the earliest packet versions of Paul Curry’s “Out of This World”. Several of my own routines use the idea of the magician receiving four aces rather than a Royal Flush, which is more recognizable as a “good” hand to non-card players. However, Peter Duffie beat me to this idea (but only by seven years!) in “Free Will”. Dave Solomon published “Revised Mexican Poker” in MAGIC August 1999, page 76, with credits to John Bannon and Tomas Blomburg for help with the development. Solomon also published “The Power Of Poker” in John Bannon's book "Dear Mr. Fantasy” (2005). To get rid of the bottom deals, Solomon used a selection procedure of Bill Simon’s from “The Four Queens” – “Mathematical Magic” (first published in1944). It’s on p. 178 of the 1993 Dover edition. Andrew Murray (The Magic Circle’s Close-Up Magician of the Year 2004) also published “YOUR CHOICE” in his book “JOKERS NOT INCLUDED” (pages 8 to 10. Produced by ‘NOW YOU SEE IT’ – March 2005), where the spectator received the Straight Flush or Royal Straight Flush – a nice touch. All of these versions have the first two cards kept by you and the spectator (as regular or ‘hole’ cards) then, with the rest of the pairs, the spectator’s chosen card is kept by either you or him, and the other card is put to the bottom of the packet. This change of procedure did not appeal to me. In the Solomon version, the spectator always gets a Full House whilst you get a Straight Flush or a Royal Flush." Stephen Tucker (August 25th 2005). & Royal Flush Guaranteed & Red Faced Poker: spectators choose five cards from the top ten on the deck. They spread their hand and have a pretty good hand like a full house or a four of a kind. You then look at the cards they didn’t select: it’s a Royal Flush (two methods are offered: one with deck return-over and one with lapping). & Alternative & Royal Flush Guaranteed 2: Ten cards are dealt: the spectator chooses his first cards between the two top ones (duck the left one), the second the same, then three are spread to check which one completes his hand the best and duck the other two, then have him choose one between the next two, have him cutting the deck between your two hands and choose the top card that he wants. Confirm that you’ll keep his discards but if he wants, he can change two of his cards anywhere in the deck.

This version of the Ten Card Poker Deal has taken many years to iron out. It started when Tom Frame fooled me with his version of the trick - a single phase routine that was almost impossible to reconstruct. Since then I have toyed with hundreds of ways to build a three phase routine that ended with the effect Tom showed me. Once I had the first two phases ironed out I decided to try and find a way to remove the need for a complete stack during the last phase. I finally found a way that worked - reconstructed the whole routine and ended with the following effect: From a shuffled deck, two five-card hands are removed and placed face down in front of the spectator. Despite a complete freedom of choice they always pick the losing hand! More cards are added and two hands of "blind seven card stud" are played out. The spectator has all the best cards AND complete freedom of choice but STILL loses! Finally, after the cards are genuinely shuffled, more cards are added and a game of five-card stud is played where the spectator chooses every card for BOTH players and can then switch cards between hands but loses again! In each case the spectator can clearly see where they could have won, had they done things differently. It is this element that makes this routine special. Everything appears fair. There is a palm in the first phase though a no-palm method is also described. This effect is being offered to magicians as an opportunity to be "in the know" before everyone else. The price reflects how highly I consider this routine. Paul Zenon's Street Magic

Good News: Bob Farmer is preparing a book on the Ten Card Poker deal which will make this list totally obsolete. No need to spend the type of time that I spent in research. Just wait a bit for his book to come out. I've been made aware of part of the additions: we're in for a treat!
I'm looking forward to it impatiently.

I've heard that he did a version but I don't know where and when. It's there so that you or some other friends here can check and hopefully share it with the other Café members. Mike is brilliant in strategies so it should definitely be interesting. Now there is a possibility that it wasn't published.

Bumping for two reasons:
How's the book coming? And I was thinking about the variations that guarantee that the winning hand is a Royal Flush, and while it seems appealing at first, after thinking about it, I'm not sure. If the winning hand is a Royal Flush, this suggests to the spectator that the distribution of the 10 cards was precisely forced. Without the Royal Flush, the spectator can more easily believe that there was some randomness to the distribution, and yet somehow the outcome always works out. Thoughts? |

It's not an unreasonable point that one weakness could be repetition without a distinctive "payoff" at the end - like, as one example, using a the but card or WOW gimmick to conclude the effect visually and perhaps negate all solutions. Of course as Darwin Ortiz and others have designed their 10-card routines, there is apparently greater, seemingly total, freedom in the spectator's selections, which is directly analogous to the referenced ambitious card endings. That suffices to rescue it from dreary repetition. By contrast, even though a MacDonald Aces routine has the more distinctly separate "payoff" of the four aces coming together, often under the spectator's hand, the effect suffers, a lot, if the three ace vanish/transformations all look exactly the same, and don't operate to introduce variety and disprove possible solutions.And a more "theatrical" payoff or "kicker" - the cards all turn blank or whatever - is likely to be thematically incongruous. Within a well-structured routine not every component need rigidly conform to a prescribed sequence.

Well on the web time does not exist. Things you do on the Internet are forever and for everyone to see, sometimes even after you remove them. Some people don't seem to understand this. I just found this great and resourceful topic and these useless posts where still here two and a half years later.
Anyway enough of that! Yes the YouTube trailer is for his DVDs. It's on one of the volumes.
Yours,

He could have changed his mind by now. He could even be dead. So what I'm suggesting is: 1) Just check the dates before you post. 2) Try and not dedicate a post to calling someone out. (I've done this and paid dearly for it.) 3) Learn to admit a mistake when you make one-- like not checking the dats of a thread. |
