  • ok and ur not going to explain anything?

  • Wait, so do you never push across the top card for your deal?

  • that's incredible..very nice bottom deal..guys i want to ask something..how many time you need for a perfect bottom deal??months?years?..how many?..i'm practising almost 3 years..but not only on bottom deal of course..for bottom deal i have spent not up to 2 months i think..how many long time it takes for be perfect?(thanks)

  • @pokermanAAKK It depends on how much you want to practice.

  • I watch this everyday starting two days ago... I'm going to practice until my bottom is better then this one!!!

  • i like your skill.... but you should also master the sail, so you can deal the bottom across the whole table

  • well done. No, or very very little second finger movement. I'm tired of these J/O's doing bottoms and have no idea. How about a pitch bottom and not a strike? How is that working for you. You are as good as me.)

  • i think this is how those vegas girls rip u off

  • stop bitch slapping my deals.

  • Great deal, the lack of finger flash is brilliant. But, this is just my opinion, no criticism intended, I think you can afford to losen up the deal. A lot of the times, the tell when a mechanic does false deals is not actually the deal itself, but the excessive presence of tension. I may not be getting the clearest picture possible, but the wedging of the deck into your hand is sort of a tell because it isn't entirely natural. Just soften up, since your deal is already fantastic. Great job.

  • I'm not exaggerating - this is the best bottom dealing I have ever seen -its perfect, even better than experts like Richard Turner and Jason England - absolutely no finger flash at all, its awesome -great job

  • But I'm wondering about the noise it makes... When I do it it makes a scratching sound, but they're plastic, (Casino grade) *sorta :D* and makes a noise when I deal from the bottom, is it noticeable? I mean to someone not knowing?

  • I GOT IT :L|

  • amazing! you are great ,every nice!

  • very nice video,you can tell you have put a lot of work into this and as it shows it has defentatly paid off

    well done

  • Tips to scam your friends:

    1- Learn the bottom deal

    2-Play poker

    3- Scam them out when its ur deal

    4- Keep talkin' to misdirect them that you dealt those cards

  • your bottom deal is perfect, no finger flash, perfect rhythm. steve forte has some competition!

  • y not aces nstead of cowboys?

  • The technique is good but actually it's impossible to get a good idea of how this would really look like if you have an other angle towards the dealer, and if the sound is not replaced by music

  • it's good but the camera is in a perspective that a persons eyes would never be

  • Awesome video, you've got that down to a tee...!! also, the slow motion is great, I'm learning the bottom deal, just ordered Expert Card Technique where I believe the technique you are using is taught... Thanks for a quality video... :)

  • @4aceentertainment You won't find this technique in ECT, but ECT does teach a version of the bottom deal. I use Marlo's master grip from his book, Revolutionary Card Technique. I definitely recommend both ECT and RCT if you have an interest in slight of hand.

  • what type of bottom deal is this i would appreciate the info.

  • @TheBradTobin This is a strike bottom deal based on Marlo's master grip from his book, Revolutionary Card Technique.

  • @dcarrico thanks it realy is the most perfect tecnique ive seen so far

  • wow that was amazing, no finger movement what tecqnique are you using, is this the turner bottom deal?

  • What is the benefit of dealing from the bottom? I don't understand how you could 'set the deck' only if you dealt from the bottom and not from the top?

  • @BMason3604 By itself, dealing from the bottom serves no purpose. But combined with stacking and a method of nullifying the cut, bottom dealing can be used to control the cards dealt around the card table. It is also very useful in the card magic context.

  • @dcarrico Yeap very useful in magic too, like a lot of cheating techniques^^.

    Which method are you using ? Is it the strike bottom ? Doesn't look like a push-off bottom.

  • @BMason3604 top bottom top top bottom top top bottom

  • how long have you been practicing that bottom deal when you made that vid? o;

  • what is the best grip for this deal?

  • I agree..you've mastered it. Great job !!

  • well, that's what I call smooth =O

  • beautiful bottom deal. I love using the master grip also

  • what very very good bottom thanks 5

  • Who's BD method do you use?

  • Bottom deal from that grip is quite hard. I'm learning to do it with Erdnase grip.

  • simply amazing ,without any finger movement!!!

    the best of bottom deal

  • it is really nice,, but can you make with a bicycle deck?, cause' make that with a bi card deck it is too much more easy,,

  • Anyone have the name of this song?

  • that's a masters grip right?

  • can i know where u learn ur bottom deal?

  • @B1ueNikeZ  google

  • @B1ueNikeZ google

  • lol, your dealing cards on the bottom,,

  • Wow, looks very very good. I would like to see it from more of a normal angle where another player or spectator would be sitting.

  • I can't say anything original. That was flawless. I can only hope to become half that good in the next 10 years.

  • How long have you been working on your bottom deal?

  • dude it's so easy he had duplicate cards or he's really good flourisher......... either one

  • @Alvee501 or he just bottom dealed...

  • can u o a tut on the bittom deal

  • were u in jail? haha

  • thats why u cut the deck , carry a .40 and have a pair of heavy duty bolt cutters to fix this mechanics fingers.

  • That's why decent card mechanics use false cuts, are good shots, and work with at least one partner.

  • that is Forte/Maze skill man! Holy crap you need to be selling videos on technique bro. I'd buy one for sure

  • note to self:

    Never play poker with him

  • lol id lol if he just placed them there and everyone was like :O, but nah awesome job!fooled me.

  • he fukin put the cards on the bottom and showed you. are you blind?

  • I just want to know what all your removed comments said

  • wats da music? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzz

  • it beat my bottom deal.

    :-)

  • Fantastic!

  • Exceptional technique - very well done.

  • You are exceptionally good at this deal, up there with Jason England (and perhaps better in a way because you have no push out).

    Your pace and rhythm is not as good as the top bottom dealers, but still excellent.

    Practice the take with the 1st finger, or open up all the fingers of the and and take with the middle finger. It just looks strange with two fingers sticking out. The only other advice I have is work on "sailing" the cards, it is more difficult, but more natural.

    Superb job!

  • Wow! I couldn't even imagine that it was possible to do the bottom deal that smooth. Everything seems possible. 5/5

  • I've been practicing the bottom deal for nearly a week and I think i'm no where near proficient yet. You though, you're a pro.

  • Hi - I think you have mastered the technique, and for various reasons only use it for magic etc, not private poker games. Otherwise - it is really fantastic. Now I have a question for you - How long did it take you to be able to "Bottom Deal"? A reply would be much appreciated - any tips would again be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • This particular video was made approximately 6 months after I first started working on the bottom deal. During that time, I practiced almost every day and tried many different techniques. Although I could write a lot on the subject of bottom dealing, I don't have much advice to offer other than what is already in print. I think the best thing you can do is just start playing with the bottom deal until you find something that fits your hand and dealing motion.

  • @goldncards Great! You avoid the tell of the failure to move the thumb finger naturally when it only pretends to deal a card.To the person wanting to learn, avoid the Erdnase technique, I recommend. Hugard's EXPERT CARD TECHNIQUE, a classic, that includes magic tricks for base dealing, assuming you're not an aspiring sharper. If you are a wannabe, take it from me, being caught will disgrace you, get your digits broke or worse. It's the magical possibilities that make the ability so much fun.

  • the way the card spins through the air as you toss it out... is that just something you're doing instinctively, or is it an actual technique (is it called "the sail"?)?

  • While there are is some technique behind the sail in print, most notably Marlo's comments in RCT, it is primarily a instinctive motion for me.

  • Last thing!! There is no real dealing grip. Ive been studing for 25 years plus now and play regularly for FUN None of my mates holds the deck the same - learn and adapt what feels comfortable to you!!

  • Agree with many of the comments below Although why not sail deal to the dealer Too many times I see the dealer deal a straight to his hand and then sail the rest No fluidity in that, in my opinion Check out Dr Elliots for my personal favourite Grip allows all options without change in grip may take a few years to master but hey ho anybody that says you can master any false deal in a short period is talking nonsense Rhythm, consistency, flow are all things that we should work upon.

  • this is really very good. most fluid bottom from that grip I've seen at that speed.

  • Every true magician who prides himself on legerdemain, knows that the old school of card mobs and cheats were THE MASTERS You wanna know how to bottom deal? Check your hands. Start with a bridge deck if they're small. Study John Scarne who doubles for Paul Newman in the Sting-- he's using the push off method for seconds, what he does with his thumb that is key. Most bottom dealers MUST read Erdnase or Hugard, and DON'T LIFT UP THEIR THUMB AFTER RETURNING THE TOP CARD. Use only for magic.

  • DO NOT TRAIN FIRST WITH A BRIDGE SIZE.

    it's better to learn it PERFECT with a poker size and than do it BETTER with bridge size

  • awesome.

    ive videod myself and i reckon i have way too much finger flash of left middle, third and little finger. any tips coz u had to slow down and zoom in to notice any, and still only a little

  • That is pretty impressive. Only a few could catch that with their eyes. The thumb holding and not pushing is the only thing I noticed.(That is only because I knew you were bottom dealing, so I was looking for it. Otherwise I wouldn't even of noticed.) Your finger movement I thought was excellent. It looks like you put a lot of time into it.

  • I appreciate the comment. You've also touched upon one of the problems of posting a bottom dealing video online - it's easy to spot when you know what's happening. Of course, I'm always looking to improve :)

  • I wasn't trying to be an ass, like I said if I never knew, I wouldn't of noticed. I thought you were damn good.

    I know skill like that takes a lot of practice.

    lol

  • Oh, I wasn't trying to be an ass, either. I was just expanding on what you had already said (i.e., "That is only because I knew you were bottom dealing, so I was looking for it. Otherwise I wouldn't even of noticed."). My appreciation is genuine! Peace.

  • very good! But ur fingers hardly move! Perfection

  • Very good... The only slight problem is the speed when you deal the bottom. When you actually deal the bottom you speed up. You cannot detect that the card comes from the bottom, but to a fellow bottom dealer it is a sign of the move. With that said, I envy your bottom deal.

  • Practising cardwork for about 5 years now but never saw such great bottom deal! Well done!

    Never practised btd, but other technics but now probably will ;)

  • This was truly beautiful. It's almost perfect, very good job dude.

  • Very fluid - you can only be detected by the Scarne method-- see him deal seconds in the sting and how he moves his thumb. That's the master level; you are right up there

  • Definitely. Moving the thumb is one of the finer details that I have been working on. Thanks for the comment.

  • I'm very impressed, I have been training this method for a long time, but there's one thing that trouble me and that's the fingers moviment at the push off , your finger moviment it's minimal and really hard to see, good job!!

  • Thank you!

  • excellent keep up to good work. and its actually not impossible to pull it off for what ppl r there to look for . i get fooled stil now. and ima professional magician

  • well done! i'm still a n00b at this but that doesn't stop me to give a hint:p maybe you should make your top deals exactly like your bottom. When you deal from the bottom you can still see your moving right fingers 2,3 and 4. Maybe move them too when you do a top deal. That would make the action perfect!

    Great bottom deal!

  • sexy, which method do you use?

  • he is doing a strike bottom deal.

  • this is impossible to pull off against someone who knows what to look for.

  • Actually... no it's not.

  • No its not i play cards with my friends and have done this many times and one of my friends is an amatuer magician and cant pick up what i am doing if your fast and skilled you can get a way with it

  • Card cheating and magic are two completely different areas of study. When it comes to card cheating, speed is rarely the best solution. "The inviolable rule of the professional is uniformity of action." You should deal at the same speed you would otherwise deal if not dealing bottoms. Nothing more, nothing less.

  • yeah your right but you can add card cheating to magic as the pass and second deal. and to be natural is the most important thing even more important in gambling than magic

  • can you make a tutorial of it please?

  • What method do you use and where can I find it published? Erdnase's method just isn't seeming to work for me.

  • I'd love to see this with no music covering the sound. The snapping is a major tell on the Bottom Deal.

  • My other video does not feature any music.

  • That is a really sweet bottom deal right there.

  • can someone please tell me wich is the DVD where you can lear the bottom deal??

  • Ian Kendall has a great DVD on false deals.

  • thanks a lot ;)...Allan Ackerman has some ...

  • Well, you do it pretty good. The only thing that attracks my attention is the rhytm in your left thumb. It stops sometimes at the moment you pull off the bottom card.

    Work on that and your bottom deal is perfect!

  • Great vid. Thanks for the slowmo. I especially liked trying to figure out who was getting the kings during the deals. Very smooth indeed. I am working thru seconds centers and bottoms myself and would love to know if you had problems with step 5... The press in. Are you able to do that at this speed or have you altered your deck corners placement(or anything) to lessen the need. I'm trying to avoid spoilers but would love to know if you had the same sticking point I'm battling. Thanks.

  • ortiz, and turner are know as masters of the art. the fact that small time hustlers talk shit about them is sad. jordan was the greatest ever, but there is always thatt one story about a playground guy, who could dunk. or about a guy who played ball before ruth, who could just smash it. turner might be blind, but some one has shown him the light. and ortiz is another matter all togther.

  • and show the remainig cards too to assure that in the deck there are 4 and not 8 Kings.

  • I'll consider making another video in the next week; however, I would like to point out that I deal multiple rounds with the Kings face up on the bottom of the deck, including the last two deals which are not only close-up, but slowed-down. It's pretty obvious where those cards are coming from.

  • Upload a video in wich you show the bottom cards before dealing please. If u do so i'll congratulate with you. Otherwise I'll sorry to tell you that you are badly cheating to appear as a good cheater.

  • Get rid of the Bee cards. Otherwise you aren't doing shit.

    And if you're a dumbass magician, then you REALLY aren't doing shit.

    This deal is fair and nothing more. Stop having orgasms over it. fools.

  • Is that so? I suppose Steve Forte, Darwin Ortiz, and Richard Turner aren't doing shit, either, since they are known to use borderless cards.

    Nonetheless, I'll be uploading another video soon using a bordered deck, just for you.

  • Ortiz is a little shrimp who couldnt hold a mark in the chair if his life depended on it and Turner? Hell he cant even SEE, for crying out loud. Anyway, they are magicians and 99% of all magicians blow.

    I saw your work with white borders..it was very good. NEVER mess with me...I know it all.

    Also I am better looking than you.

    Deal with that, pup

  • I must say, you do make me laugh. Thanks for the comments.

  • You sir, are a jackass and nothing besides.

  • Of course, that was directed to JoeLeeBush.

  • UltimateMint2?

    I am so happy I ruin your time on here. It makes me very happy to know I can piss you off and control you like I do.

    By the way, pup, it's MISTER Jackass to you.

  • Great!

    I really wish i could learn these but i cant find a video tell me how.

    Matty b

  • Weapons Of the card shark I got it and liked it alot total of 60 bucks But idk If Erdnase expert at the card table would b better Its 80 bucks but seems to come with alot more info

  • dude please teach me!!. i dont really know any grips or what grips are used best for bottoms centers or seconds

  • where can i find Mr.Turner's videos?

  • Fantastic! It is the best bottom dealI have ever seen.

  • man u rawk........

  • What finger are you using to push, or strike the card off the bottom of the deck? Is that your pointing- or middlefinger?

  • This video is just too good. A little too good perhaps.

  • Good dealing. Can you punch and cold deck, too? I'm hiring

  • Good God!

  • wow. just gosh darn amazing.

  • It's all practise, stop asking for tuts you greedy laymen

  • Although not eloquent, you are correct. There are plenty of resources out there that are infinitely better than what can be offered on YouTube. If you are serious about false deals (and slight of hand in general), be prepared to read a lot of classic books and spend a lot of time practicing. That's all it really comes down to.

  • Yes, I agree that practice is what it comes down to, but what books are used. Your bottom deal is obviously not erdnase, nor expert card technique's version. Nor is it the turner seesaw bottom deal. Then what is it if you dont mind telling?

  • I've already answered that question.

  • so with the seesaw bottom deal, you obviously move the middle finger back very little...inspiring

  • I'm not sure what you mean, as I've never seen Mr. Turner's see-saw bottom deal.

  • what? But you've said before that you've watched Mr. Turner perform his bottom deal...which is a see-saw bottom

  • Well, I first became interested in false deals after watching Mr. Turner's "The Cheat" video. I learned the basics of false dealing from the video. However, my bottom deal is Marlo's strike bottom from a master grip.

  • as learned from...Seconds, Centers, and Bottoms?

  • Yes.

  • when the take is made is it done after the pointer finger or after the middle finger? where did you learn this type of bottom dealing? it looks like a strike but from reading the comments ppl think it is a push-off.. great work, truly inspiring. -take care

  • nice.....man....u sould put a tutorial.....

  • very impressive, you avoid any flash of the left fingertips moving to let the card pass. very good job. have you seen richard turner's videos ?

  • Yes, I learned the basic techniques by watching Mr. Turner's videos repeatedly, and moved on from there.

  • i recognized his technique... i learned bottom deal from the erdnase book but it's very difficult to avoid the flash of the left finger pushing the bottom card. then i see a conference of richard turner and now i'm trying to learn his techinique, that is very useful because with the same grip you can do bottom and second deal... but i have some problems to keep the deck in place and squared when taking the bottom...

  • differently from you i use my third finger to grasp the bottom card, not the index finger... i think it's better because with the same movement is possible to deal second and bottom, at pleasure ! ... of course after many many many hours of training !! ;-) bye
