Never discount any 'tool' that allows you to perform such startling effects. You'd might be surprised by the number of professionals who switch in Strippers for specific tricks - very surprised!

not surprised at all mate though i tend to find the blond leggy strippers work best for misdirection.

magic 7 is the red writing there froany reason because over here its classed as rude, unless your japanese then its considered fortunate.
reds and blacks is a great thing to do with a stripped deck, i usualy show them seperated then stack them alternate then ask if they want red or black as i shuffle (hindu), then spread face up and say theres your reds this side and your blacks that side, then just wait for the penny to drop.

I learned a new trck today have 3/4 spectators pick different cards and then rotate the deck and have them insert them and this works like my last trick but first give the deck a good shuffle and then pull on the cards like the other trick

i really don't care what people say about my red writing, but the large writing was just for laughs! I am new and i just wanted to test it out it's funny look up

no problem thats what the preview button is for, it lets you try out lots of things before you submit the post.

use the same shuffle to bring all cards to top of deck then say who picked the ........turn over first card, who picked the ......, turn over second card.
this floors most people and makes them think your a card virtuoso which I'm not i can barely do a snap change, but i can amase anyone with a stripper, yes yes inuendo thread here i go.

I'll take you up on that innuendo, and raise you. A stripper can make anyone look like hot stuff.

To shake it up a bit I tend to do a 3 card sleight routine as well when using my stripper, rather than the standard find X amount of cards/separate the blacks and reds.

3 cards, top card is pulled off to reveal that it is the bottom card. Middle card shown to be the bottom card that you revealed to be on top.

Eg.

2,3,4. 4 On bottom. Revealed top card as 4, middle card as 4. Repeat for 2 and 3.

Works ever so well!

If it's so "rude" then why is it there to write in!!!!

MagicMagic7,

It just is! You have been advised by several (senior, I might add) members. If you would just use black, along with everyone else, then people would be more receiving of your posts. Not only that, it actually makes it much easier to read!

Please remember, not everyone on these forums is as young/sprightly as yourself. Nor will they have eyes as good as yours!

Black is fine. If you wish to emphasise something, use bold.. or maybe a colour. However, now it seems you are just writing in red because several people have asked you not to!

Hello all,
A stripper deck came into conversation today, where all around agreed they had their place. However, someone made the comment that they could, and my words having heard it most definately should, be used to reset a shuffled s***k.
Now, I gave this some thought, thinking of Osterling, and thought, wow if that worked, that would be brilliant. But after much more thought, I thought (and it hurt) that's not really possible, is it? I can't think of any way that you could use the stripper to do that. Not for any S**** i can think of anyway.

Am I way off, did I miss somthing?

In response to that...actually I think of one trick that comes to mind that could work amazingly well! Show the cards to be all jumbled red and black...shuffle. Then do out of this world. I think that might just work!
Nice one.

!!! Shameless Plug Alert !!!

I cover a version of the Charlier shuffle that will return a messed up, stacked stripper deck to its original state in m'lovely book "The Stripper Deck"

Wow. I must say I'd never thought that far ahead! It seems so simple, now. The ideas for both OOTW and a s***k are awesome!

Imagine how much farther this would go to disproving some of those 'common myths' about magic

USPCC now do a lovely (and I really do mean lovely) stripper deck. Factory cut, subtle as an extra violin in a symphony orchestra, and above all, factory sealed like any other USPCC deck. Being cut, they don't suffer from the rough edges you sometimes get, either.

Quick question Tomo abouts that stripper deck in question. How much better is it than your standard run of the mill deck type? I have two strippers and they both stick out like a sore thumb in my eyes (in fairness I am looking for them!).

On a side note-I performed the stripper OOTW combo today. Showed them mixed red +blacks etc, a little patter while shuffling "making it harder for you, as you were bound to get the first few right since you just saw them, tougher now isn't it? Lets see your true ESP potential" yadida.
Floored them. Dead.

Very tempted to buy your book Tomo! I think I might wait till I can use normal cards to do decent tricks first, in the end I don't want to rely on a stripper forever.

No problems there. The online preview's got the table of contents so you can see whether you think the techniques it teaches are something you could use. The idea is that you can use it on its own because they're real sleights and the stripper's a real deck, but what I think is exciting is using some of it to enhance existing sleight-based effects.

A lot of shop cut decks are about as subtle as an overly-appologetic polar bear at a penguin's housewarming party. The USPCC decks cost a few times more than a regular deck, but if they were polar bears, they'd wake up in Vegas next to many a rich, very hungover penguin. After I'm finished with mine, I happily hand them out when someone asks if they can show me something. Decks, that is. Not penguins.

i made my own stripper deck months ago and since i use it all the time. Mostly i dont even use its capability, i just go trough my own routines but for any impromptu effect it can really help to improvise something or to just let someone see and feel the squared deck in your hand after you used the pass and DoubleTake enuff already.

I've strip about 2 centimeter only, it is barely invisible to naked eye but it leaves a certain feel on my fingers! It is easily hiden behind my thumb and can be shown flat in hand almost 360 degrees without flashing.
