Jerry,
The Dynamo Deck was the predecessor to the BCS. But, in truth, they are different in purpose. Yes, some routines can be done with either, but each has its own designated use. I still use the BCS all the time. Since the topic came up earlier, the Memorized BCS, as well as instructions on working it backwards, can be found in Mystique. Richard |

Richard, thank you for your response.
I thought that the Dynamo Deck was similar to the S.U.M. Deck or "The Code" deck. Now I know it is not that type. Then I thought you were holding back your underground stack deck system, and finally released the Dynamo deck to magic community. Still don't see the advantages over the BCS with Dynamo. If I do purchase, it will most likely be with the Intimate Impossibilities DVD's. Still considering, but very happy with the BCS. Also, I appreciate the location of the current source for Memorized BCS. Thank you for your time on this matter. |

Jerry, if you get Intimate Impossibilities, it explains how to make the Dynamo Deck. I do most of the routines from the Dynamo Deck book, but not all. Either way, if you get just the DVD or both, you will see the differences in the 2 stacks and the different uses for them.
All my best, Richard |

When the spectator cuts to the 9 of Hearts. you proceed with putting the 9H away, then start dealing into 4 piles, the 4th pile is yours (the dealer). Here is what would happen: 1st Pile: 7S + 4H 2nd Pile: 2S + 10C 3rd Pile: 5C + 10D 4th Pile: KD + JS Each of the spectator (1st, 2nd, 3rd) will each take one card. Then this would will be the new hand. 1st Pile: 7S + 4H + 10H = 21 (Blackjack) 2nd Pile: 2S + 10C + 9S = 21 (Blackjack) 3rd Pile: 5C + 10D + 6C = 21 (Blackjack) Thus, the spectators WIN! You lose because your hand holds two picture cards equaling to 20. I hope you have fun with this. It's great to be able to say, "I have a premonition. Even before I deal out the cards, I have a strong premonition that I would end up losing this round and you three will win. In fact, you three will have the same total. And I will miss by one." or something along the lines. This is fun! =) |

The routine is explained in Osterlind's DVD. And book too, if I am not mistaken. For close up, I love the Poker Deal. |

So if the dealer doesn't hit he misses by one, and if he does hit he still misses by one. That's an impressive coincidence! Thanks for sharing your finding, Zlwin Chew! I may have to take advantage of your 9 of Hearts suggestion and "accidentally" cut to it one of these days... |

J-L Sparrow,
I hope you have lots of fun with it! And if you do have other findings about this deck, do share with me, too. Richard Osterlind, Thank you for sharing your greatest secret to the those who would listen. We owe you a huge one! Cheers! |

I was able to create a magic trick around it, but it requires the MBCS (the Memorized Breakthrough Card System) to take advantage of it. So far I've only discovered this one trick with it (and one variant), but I'll keep looking for more applications of this trait. |

On Mar 25, 2015, Zlwin Chew wrote: Thanks for your interest, but I'm not quite ready to make my finding public in that I still haven't found a quintessential example for it yet. My finding allows the magician to determine where the stack has been cut without the need to look at any cards -- but a little input is still needed. And this needed input should seem insignificant to most memdeck magicians (as well as to other magicians and non-magicians). But thanks to this particular property of the BCS stack, it's just enough to determine where one is in the stack. But memdeck workers of non-BCS stacks can easily work around this feature by using another trick, such as a sneaky peek, to achieve the same effect. (Of course, that might mean that they'd have to handle the cards, but that might not be a concern to them.) Does that devalue my finding? I hope not, but I don't know exactly -- which is why I'm trying to figure out more (and hopefully more stunning) uses of this property. So far I've only been able to find a worthwhile use of this property using a BCS stack that's memorized (that is, the MBCS). So anyone who wants to use it on a BCS stack that's not memorized is out of luck, unless a way is figured out that doesn't require the use of a memorized deck. |

Perfect timing... this is the first time Ive looked at this topic because I have no chance of memorizing a full deck stack. However, I recently dug up my BCS booklet which I must have had for over 10 years but never really worked. But now, with some practice, I can work the system. I opened up this topic to see if this has been discussed, and WOW, the second thread from the top is on the BCS.
Now that I have it down, Im hoping to find some good routines. At its face, its kind of a misdirected peek. Instead of peeking the selection, I peek the "other" card to divine the selection. My question is... are there any good resources to find effects specifically taking advantage of the BCS? I assume many Si Stebbins effects are applicable. |

JL Sparrow,
I sure do hope you will be able to get your new routine on a video so you could show us. It is great to know another fellow magician is wrecking his brain to think of a new trick with the BCS and I am sure one day someone will create something really incredible! |

I really wish a mark deck using the BCS system was made like "The Code" deck.

I believe that's the Demon Deck by Larry Becker and Lee Earle.

Demon Deck is no longer available.
Also, what would be even better then the "Demon Deck" or "The Code", an updated Deland Deck using the current marking systems with the BCS stack. |
