One way back method

Postby user24 » Oct 31st, '12, 20:25



Hello.

Just worked this out while fiddling. Seems very basic, but wanted to share in case it wasn't well known.

**snip**

I can shoot a quick video if it's unclear.

Or if, as I somewhat suspect, I'm doing the equivalent of explaining how to DL, then please pat me on the head and ignore. I am only an amateur and not yet well versed in the classic tomes of this fine art.

Thankyou, as always, for your time.

Yeah it's pretty much the standard way to reverse the deck, whether for a 1 way back or a stripper deck!

As Lenoir said, its pretty much standard. The fan can also be closed one handed.

There is a very nice hands-off method for this in one of Jean Hugards books (not sure which one, I'd have to check). The cards are handled by the spectator while the card is chosen and shuffled back into the deck - yet its reversed.

I'm pretty sure Lenoir will be familiar with the ruse, but user24 if your not PM me and ill fill you in.
