Hi All,
Do you use pseudo-centers in any of your gambling routines? If so, which routines do you prefer and where can we find them? Thanks,

I used to do Jack Carpenter's Center Deal Demo (Two Methods) from the excellent Stephen Hobbs book Modus Operandi - The Card Magic of Jack Carpenter.
The price to be paid is that you must execute a convincing bottom deal. One cool thing in the second method is something called The Lazy Man's Greek Deal. It is a thing of beauty! ETA: Mock Center (Marlo)

If you post in this section does it mean that you are looking for a sleightless pseudo demo ?

I've done a variation of Skinner's "Satan Deals Again" from the 'Collected Almanac' using a full deck.
This does require some sleights. |

I don't have Modus Operandi but Jack Carpenter teaches a Center Deal Demo in one of the 'The Seattle Sessions' DVDs. The one taught only requires a second deal and a double deal, not a bottom. It could be a technical improvement to an original or something wholly different.
And it is the handling I use when I do a gambling demo for magicians. Another pseudo dealing demo that I enjoy is R Paul Wilson's 'Bottoms Up!', which is a pseudo-bottom deal demo which far easier than it seems from the audience's point of view. (No false dealing required at all, in fact.) |

I think there is an effect in the Trost book - I think it's called Seconds, Centres and Bottoms

There is one in Howard Hamburg's D Notes which uses the gilbreath principle. The performer shuffles a straight into the deck then procedes to appear to deal it from the center but no sleight of hand is needed. For sleight free effects this is a great little booklet

There are two effects in The Card Magic of Nick Trost...
Bottoms, Seconds and Centers Demonstration, pp. 88-89 and, Crooked Dealing, pp. 228-231. The second is the better of the two.
