The "Shade" Challenge

[Zenn_Darkfire]

So I've decided that the next several months I want to spend the majority of my time practicing to gambling sleights. I've been obsessed with gambling Demo's since I've gotten into magic and I have TONS of practice material that I have never really used as much as I should.

Jason England: Foundations 1 and 2
Damian Nieman: Fast Company
Sal Piacente: Poker Cheats Exposed
Steve Forte: GPS
Darwing Ortiz: Back at the Card Table and Return to the Card Table
Jeff Wessmiller: Weapons of the Card Shark
Benjamin Earl: Past Midnight
Daniel Maddison: Shun
R. Paul Wilson: The Unreal Work

I also of course have Expert at the Card Table and a few other books.

I ordered a new camera that should be here by Tuesday so I've decided that each week I am going to work on some gambling sleights and film my progress. Hopefully by September I will have made some major progress.

Anyways the point of this thread is this is where I will be posting all of my videos. I've devoted some time to these sleights before, but not as much as I'd like so I've decided to start fresh. Right now I'm working on some palming fundamentals so as soon as I have my camera I'll post the video!

I'll keep everyone updated!

Im afraid the first few videos will be rather "bad" and expose the routines/moves =/

If you want to study gambling sleights, then you want to study Tony Picasso's work. This character is strait out of a movie scene, and defines the mental image of card hustler.

Good, you will need that kind of practice because I will be posting a challenge, or a contest rather, involving gambling sleights, so keep practicing, and you may win a $100

Of course, and it is going to happen somewhere in September/October, but it is going to be really hard, so keep practicing.

As I mentioned in the post, I've had experience with these moves before, I'm just now taking the time to really learn then properly. I'm not new to magic so I assure you I won't be exposing anything. Besides all of the videos will be unlisted and the only way to view them is in this thread so no need to worry.

Thanks for the suggestion! I can't believe I forgot about Tony

Thanks for the heads up!
