I'm sceptical of the general appeal of Poker tricks. You and your mates are among the few who actually play Poker, which is fine, but to most people, Poker is a game played mostly by fictional characters on television. Poker players are a small minority, even among card players.
I can see Poker-themed tricks working for a general audience provided they are well presented and rely upon the mythology of Poker rather than the workings of a typical game, but I imagine that a magician who expects a typical spectator to be interested in Poker would not hold that spectator's attention for very long.
