Just after that he lost all his money in a poker game to a magician.

I think what will fly in a real game depends on who is dealing and who is playing. I have seen Jimmy Cards Molinari deal the multi-deals including fifths very nicely. Vernon talks about Old Dad Stevens being able to deal thirds in his fourth book as mentioned above. I also met Carl Jackson who could also third deal in a game, and he used the punch work of Walter Scott and made a living with it. Plus his shift and bottom were also moves that paid his bills too. What will fly in a poker game depends on both the players and the person doing the moves. But they also do the moves at their own risk!

For those who do not have the patience to learn to deal thirds, there is a heist version of the sleight that uses two sets of similar cards like the 7H and 8D, 7D and 8H. Not the real thing, but convincing enough to make an entertaining demonstration of "skill" .

I would also like to mention that Jason England describes an ingenious and easy way of dealing thirds on The Unreal Work DVD. One of the reasons why I intend to learn thirds and forths is to facilitate my obsession with culling and stacking. To be able to table or roman riffle cull three or four a kind to the top of the deck and then deal them out to yourself or a partner as part of a gambling routine is right up my street. I can do this with a bottom deal or center deal when I'm brave enough. I'm working on a way of culling and stacking in the same move but I'm not yet able to deal the cards off the top as it were.
I do agree with Glenn about the practicality of thirds and forths in a real game. It does very much depend on the knowedge and skill of the people sitting around the table with you as well as your own ability to execute the moves flawlessly. Any intention to use sleight of hand at the table must in my view, be subject to a scouting out of the conditions and calibre of people playing. The move or moves then need to be tailored to the type of game being played. The more I get into all this, the more there is to learn. For me its a case of so many sleights, so little time!!

If dealing thirds at the table was just fantasy.
Why did gamblers invent it? Why did stevens do it? Or maybe stevens was really a magician.I have it on good authority that his dove act was first rate. |

How do we know it was a gambler and not a magician?
Who said Stevens did it? I think the 3rd is a neat move, and it probably has magical application, but I'm inclined to believe Giorgio. I'm no expert, but it seems to me most of the uses described for the 3rd deal here would be better served by the bottom deal.

I have not heard of it being used at the table but I have only known one cardsharp. It sounds a good move to me. I can not do it.
The reason it is better than a bottom deal is gamblers use a cut card on the bottom in high stakes poker. I would use it if I could do it well enough for sure. Tommy

Vernon aslso said on the revelation videos that he met a gamler who dealt thirds.
If I had a good third I wouldn't have a problem using it. Its just like a second. Paul, Pick up the revelation videos.They are worth it.There is a guy called Dai vernon on there.He talks about the sleight and who used it. If you like them try a copy of 'Expert at the card table' by S.W.Erdnase http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/det......n=507846 Its worth the money. But start off slow pick up a copy of royal road to card magic.And STUDY it. don't just skim over it like most do. Also check out this section of the Café http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewf......e227d1c9 |

A cut card on the bottom does not stop a bottom deal. For dealing I find Martin Nash is amazing. It was from his DVD I learned to deal a Black Jack from the bottom with an inverted card on the bottom of the deck. It's basically a second bottom deal.

I also have played cards in my past. Most games I have been in had about eight players. The reason is to build the pot. The bottom deal looks better when dealt with less than a full deck. If there are lots of players in a game like eight to ten this can be an advantage for a bottom dealer. The reason is more players the cards are used up faster as the first cards are dealt to the eight to ten players. So when it comes time to deal a bottom after a few rounds dealt - there is less cards in the deck - then the card shark can bottom deal easier. The third deal has the advantage that if Stevens got two of a kind to the top with his Stevens cull then he could shift the cut or do the hop. Then deal thirds and end up with two of a kind. From the few card sharks I have met most of them are after two of a kind or three of a kind for themselves or a friend. If they can deal thirds this could be done with a full deck - an advantage to this third deal in a less player situation. Thinking how the cheat might use the moves has helped me come up with ways to use these moves in magic. I hope this helps.

Btw, a second from the bottom is called a greek. I recomend that you observe Martin Nash's "a night coincidence". it has a great example of using a third in a practical fashion at the table.
Thanks Mike :smoke: |

Fred Robinson has a great method for doing his greek deal, Im not sure where its published, but a friend of mine showed me and it kicked ***... he did it fast and smooth... it looked better than most bottom deals out there...
