Bottom deal

[charleychacko]

Here are some tips for the push-off bottom deal...Try to practice with small packet as BD with the whole deck is extremly hard....Your left pinky and ring finger should not "open"...try to deal the top card and try to make BD just the same...which means that you have to start sliding the top card but when your right hand comes to take that card you draw it back and the left hand "serves" the right hand with the bottom card....at the same time this pushed off top card will cover the left fingers movement...

But your action while preforming the BD is MORE important than the technique used....

Try practicing top-bottom-top-bottom-top-bottom...there should not be a sound change...something I'm still trying to get perfect...

The best way to practice BD is to show it to the people....just show it to them as the demonstration of the most famous move in card cheating...when you start getting great reactions then you'll know your BD is ready to be used for magic....

I learned the bottom deal from Mr.Allan Ackerman on his Advanced Card Control Series...(8 DVD's set)...you can buy the volumes separatly so try checking the Vol.2 which is called "False deals"....There are ton of other moves that use BD and I think you'll have a great time with this DVD...

Also there's one other DVD which I cannot recommend at the moment because I just ordered it 3 days ago and I'm still waiting for it...
