In this video I demonstrate the sleight of hand technique known as the center deal or middle deal. I also talk about it’s uses (or lack thereof) in card cheating and card magic.

NOTE:
This is NOT meant to be an instructional video on how to cheat at cards or on how to protect yourself from cheating. Don't watch this video and then try this stuff in a game or think you can’t be cheated. I make these videos for entertainment so that people can more deeply appreciate the craft and the art of sleight-of-hand. If you find this stuff interesting, go check out the work of people like Steve Forte, Jason England, Richard Turner, Darwin Ortiz, and Jason Ladanye. If you want to learn how to protect yourself at the card table, check out “Casino Game Protection,” “Poker Protection,” and “Gambling Protection Series” by Steve Forte and “Gambling Scams” by Darwin Ortiz.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
There's some fascinating history behind the center deal that I didn't go into in this video. I will probably cover that in a future video series. The maneuvers that nullify the cut are known as "shifts" and "hops." I didn't have time to go into any detail in this video. Marked cards are far more complex as a subject than I allude to, but there just wasn't time.

CREDITS:
I learned the center deal from Jason England’s DVD Foundations Volume 1. I have made some slight modifications for my hands, but the technique is more or less the same as what he teaches. I also learned the bottom deal and second deal from his videos (and from The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase. If this stuff interests you, check out “Gambling Sleight of Hand” Volumes 1 and 2 by Steve Forte — they’re incredible. The double duke is inspired by Guy Hollingsworth’s “A Gambling Routine” published in “Drawing Room Deceptions,” Darwin Ortiz’s “The Ultimate Cardshark” published in “Darwin Ortiz at the Card Table,” and Andrew Wimhurst’s routines “The Wimhurst Poker Deal” and “The Return of the Ultimate Cardshark” published in “Down Under Deals.” The control to the bottom used is Ernest Earick's one-handed convincing control published in "By Forces Unseen." The explanations about the rationale behind the center deal, why it’s fascinating, why it’s useless, etc. is inspired by the work of Dai Vernon, Ricky Jay, Richard Turner, and Darwin Ortiz. Special thanks to my friend Mr. Z for additional guidance and information.

Special thanks to Darwin Ortiz and Ed Kwon for some background theory and constant inspiration.
