The POKER LESSON - TUTORIAL

Daniel Madison presents a detailed tutorial on 'The Poker Lesson', a deceptive gambling demonstration that sequentially displays every poker hand from a low card to a Royal Flush using a shuffled deck. While the routine is designed around the Poker Lesson Gaff Card found in his Twisters and Sharps decks, Madison clarifies that the effect doesn't require the gaff card. The tutorial covers essential techniques like false shuffles, controlled deals, and psychological subtleties to create the illusion of card table expertise. A highlight is the kicker ending where the spectator ends up with the red Aces they initially chose, enhancing the routine's impact. Madison's teaching emphasizes the routine's structure, misdirection, and the importance of spectator interaction, making it a versatile addition for magicians interested in card table artifice.
