Welcome to another chapter in The Michael Vincent Teach-In Series. In this production, we are going to explore some of my thoughts regarding an interesting aspect of card magic and that is gambling related material.
The routine we will study was created by the brilliant card man Jason England. It is a seven hand poker stack and deal of four aces to the dealer. I saw Jason present this routine at his lecture here in London a few years back and was very impressed by the effect. When I learnt the routine from his lecture notes Jamming with the Fellas, I was slightly put off by the fact that it relied on a full deck stack, which meant a deck switch if you wanted to present the routine. I immediately started to explore possibilities of presenting the routine from a shuffled deck in use, totally impromptu - even with a borrowed deck, if required.
I am delighted to share this next installment with you, it will require some practice to pull off successfully - I would classify this routine as an intermediate to advanced piece of card handling.
