Hey Jack,
I remember at a session years ago you showing me your strike bottom dealing (earl A-1 convention days) - I could not believe the cards were actually coming from the cellar - totally amazing. Perhaps you could give everyone an insight as to how you came about using this useful move and the steps leading up to your mastery of it.

Was it a wine cellar?

Well, believe it or not, I arrived at the bottom I do from looking at the expose photos in "Scarne on Cards" when I was a kid. I just put it together from his brief description for laymen, and the picture.
Guess it proves that you can learn more than you're supposed to from a expose book, eh? I developed sailing them out (which is probably what you saw), much like I do with the second. With proper rhythm and speed a beautiful "blur" occurs, Great for demo. Also excellent for a half pack psuedo center, which I've seen Steve Forte use. He fools magicians not familiar with it, and so do I. Card guys who read and watch everything available. . .not so much anymore. -Jack |

Thanks Jack.
Dorian, you make me laugh. By the way Jack, you mentioned Steve Forte (hands down the best with cards) Dorian and I recently had the priviledge and pleasure to spend the afternoon at Steve Forte's home, which included a grand tour of his gambling museum - what a treat that was! Steve is not only a great technician but one heck of a nice guy.

Just fine Jack - looking forward to seeing Steve again in the future. By the way, Steve loves to see magic stuff!
