hi humdai,
i've also recently bought this dvd, and am currently practicing the move. Just wanted to ask you how your shuffle is coming along, and what tricks you have thought about applying it too?
so far, the best application i have come up with is a quick opening trick, u shuffle the deck 3 or 4 times while telling them that you have been banned from casinos, then deal 4 hands for poker and give yourself all aces.
i love learning from this dvd, Herb is about 80's years old and has a really nostalgic love of magic, he takes time to mention all his friends (including Vernon and Slydini!) and gives the whole thing an atmosphere of class. you really feel like you are learning something special from a wise man of magic. He's also got 2 elderely friends at the table with him who remind him to go over all the key points. I love this dvd, its a classic!! if i ever get my shuffle as smooth as herbs, im going to become a full time card-cheat.
