God of Gamblers (Darwin Ortiz)

[skapyro]

@crietenz Your comment, apart from having nothing to do with reality, (how can you "best" use a fake deal "slowly" lol?!) is only aimed at malevolently exposing how you think the trick you saw is done.I am sorry but such ill-aimed comments I can't allow on my videos.If you want to discuss the mechanics of the trick, you can send me a pm.Thank you.

[skapyro]

[skapyro]

@kushywooshy Hahaha that would be a pretty good way to achieve many effects...although a bit painfull i guess :PPP thanks man,glad you liked it!

[XxemoraidxX]

i would just go insane trying to learn that lol Good job though :)

[skapyro]

@XxemoraidxX I have to admit I almost did lol :P Thanks man!

[smoofssmoofs]

hahaha.. god of gamblers? have you ever heard of Master Steve Forte? HE is the best.

[IvanMallia]

lol it's the name of the effect. haha

some people are always ready to bash others.

[smoofssmoofs]

It`s a Darwin Ortiz effect.. so it`s pretty obvious he was talking about him, when he called it God.. i hate it how he always tells about how many decks he uses a year.. and about how many casinos have hired him... he isn`t that good anyway.

[IvanMallia]

oh sorry I thought you were referring to this guy here.

He never really struck me actually.

[Chsowl0809]

lol i slowly got a big smile on my face when u were separating the spades and hearts... good job... it was a great pleasure watching that...

[skapyro]

Hehehe..glad you liked it mate! :)

[amirso007]

i pretty sure i got it i know how you did it

[thejohnstonzoo]

Wow.

When you know a good card trick - you are the life of the party. Wish I knew a good card trick.

[Yytinen]

i just dont get how u get the factory order. Other is clear.

--yytinen

[bozoman000007]

that means that its not all clear, if you would understand everything you would know how to get into order, so please keep you "I know everything" comments to your self...

[Yytinen]

Im sorry didnt mean it sound like that. I just think Darwin Ortiz is great and i love his tricks. I just dont know where to find his books or videos. Sorry again.

--yytinen

[skapyro]

Its ok man!Try google and i m sure you ll get all the information you need!

[Eddini]

[skapyro]

Take care till next time!

[ArgoLupus]

One question, with all due respect, are those bridge sized cards? I mean, that makes every fake deal easier, n'est-ce pas?

[skapyro]

No mate its an ordinary poker-sized Bee deck :D

However i must say that fake deals are harder for me with a bridge-sized deck,probably because i ve gotten used to the normal size...

So,even if i was using one,it would make the trick an even greater challenge hehehe :P :P

[calixtowilli]

good work man.

5******

[skapyro]

Thanks a lot man,glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers!

[thomaskoo]

Very well performed. The deals are flawless. You don't like doing block transfers? Because you've to spread the cards face up. Good work!

[skapyro]

Thanks a lot for everything mate!

Well at the time i shot this vid,i just had spent a couple of hours to understand how this is done by watching the dvd again and again...

The problem was that although i did find a way to do it myself (obviously :P) it wasnt the exact way that Darwin uses...simply because i just couldnt understand some parts!So i used my ideas instead,thats why in some points the handling is different!

I just hope it doesnt ruin the effect in any way..

Cheers mate!

[skapyro]

Thanks filaraki,xairomai pou sarese :D

[lilzeus7]

where is this book that u guys have been talkin about, like do u have to buy it or is it in libraries ??

and u mentioned something about easier scams, i dont want u to advertise anything but i just wonderin on some easy things to trick my friends in texas holden poker

i know that the video isnt a easy trick but it interest me

i dont no anything about the middle dealin thing, but i thought the hardest thing would be dealin from the middle fast enough to seem like it from the top

[johnstuadams]

Very nice and well done for picking up how it's done from watching the performance only. I don't think I would have been able to pick up the nuances from that. If you want to know exactly how Darwin does it, it is in the book of Scams and Fantasies. But there's very little difference.

[skapyro]

Thank you for your kind words john,i m glad you liked it!You mean that in the book its actually explained,even though in the dvd its "performance only"??

Well...i ll have to check that out then..thanks!!

[johnstuadams]

yes, it's fully explained in the book. Watching your video made me go and check out the book again. I haven't read that book as much as Darwin's others because theres a lot with a memorized deck which, put me off.

[skapyro]

Youre right,i checked it out!there are some differences in the cuts that are used,just as i thought there would be :P

I havent done so yet but i m gonna learn it the official way :P

By the way...i had the same problem with the memorized deck you mention.But i ve been working on a way (like a mathematical function actually) I thought of,to easily create a memorized stack,in which you actually have to remember only the first few cards...if youre interested i could pm you with details :D

[sda1819]

Hey skapyro i am very interested in the mathematical function, im pretty good with math and intermediate to advanced with cards, ure performance was awesome, u think u could pm me with the details?

[skapyro]

Thank you for your nice words man!

I will send you a message with the method but please be patient,i really got a lot of stuff to do these days so i dont have tome right now...

But we ll keep in touch :)

Take care!

[ghossler]

lol nice i know some of it .. but ofcourse not the whole thing. Darwin ortiz is good i have seen the show where darwin did the last laugh, and quickest gun or something and the message from something, the card fusion. the dvd was called darwin's skames and fantasies ?

[skapyro]

:D Yes mate its called Scams and Fantasies with Cards,and there are 4 volumes :D Darwin is the best :D :D

[Ssamonoske]

I can center deal :P:P:P really usefull to rip of fppl you hate.

[skapyro]

Hehe it is but there are many other techniques that require less time to master and have the same result :P :P :P
