I think bottom deal is useless now. Greek deal and center are too difficult to use in a real game. It's more magician stuff for gambling demonstration.

I practise about 3 or 4 hours a day on bottoms, I feel that soon they wil be perfect. Sometimes I don't even see the diference between a normal and a bottom, I know I can cheat with this move. Im just asking for some other good moves.

It all depends on the card table.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Hey I'm not trying to be mean but you did not "perfect" your bottom deal you can spend you entire life just practicing one single slight and by how much your practicing I would say maybe 10 years until you have perfected your bottom deal. Secondly Learn the basics (false shuffles and cuts,passes and misdirection)before you even consider to try and learn centers and the Greek deal, I have been practicing gambling slights for around 2 years and I JUST started to learn centers, and as for cheating at a real game please make sure you have a very good pair of running shoes and a first aid kit. I sincerely wish you the best of luck

Try to master riffle stacking. That's your best bet.

You can't say : bottoms are useless now. They are still as useful today as they were 15 years ago. It just depends on knowing the company and the table you are in (aka. psychology is more important then any sleight). Safest way to cheat? Work in cahoots and make up some code. Also ringing in a cooler is 1 move a night instead of 50+ moves a night (or whatever you fancy). Another way to win at poker is to be actually good at poker (or the game you are playing). That way you can make people give them your money even when not advantage playing. Riffle stacking was mentioned before. When done correctly, it looks absolutely convincing. |

Remember that it is not enough to just master one single technique most of the time. For example, you could master a bottom deal, but it would be quite useless without knowledge of the bottom cards (so a cull should be mastered, a false shuffle to keep the bottom stock intact and a method to nullify the cut, for example a shift[not that advicable], copping the cards or using a partner).
It isn't that much a matter of what is the most useful , in the end everything just flows together. |
