Hi all, any thoughts as to what would be an easy clean false cut to do on stage with a Jumbo deck? It could be done in the hands or on a table. Thanks

Use a short card trimmed on the long side(s) or a thick card...

In the hands undertake a haymow mix with initial inner jog corrected at the end with a throw. Result will be even better than a false cut.

On the table undertake the 'Jean Hugard' false cut. ((I only have a loose page with the details. It appears to be page 70 and on top of the page it says "Card Manipulations")

However the most simple false cut is as follows. Take off a third of the cards from a tabled deck and place this pile to the immediate right of the deck. Then take another third and place this pile to the extreme right. Then simply gather up by picking up the central pile first and placing it on the right most pile and place this combined pile onto the remaining pile. The order of the deck will not have been disturbed although if you undertake this nonchalantly it will appear as if a genuine cut has taken place.

Hope this helps.

A corner short or long card would do the job.
