.As crude as their ploysmay be, however, they often work when blended with basic Neocheating maneuvers of blindshuffling and false riffling.For example, some amateurs pretend to count the cards face up to makesure the deck is complete (e.g., "This deck doesn't feel complete", or "Are you sure the cards are allhere?" are common signals).During their ploy, they casually cull aces to the top or bottom of thedeck and proceed to center cut and crimp.Then a few blind shuffles and a false cut or two maketheir ploy effective.Essentially all effective cheaters today mix at least some Neocheating into their techniques.Indeed,the Neocheating portion of their techniques makes them workable.The pure Neocheater, however,uses only the simple and invisible techniques described in this book.Crass ploys such as describedin the above paragraph are never used or needed by the pure Neocheater.1.Controlling Hands While Shuffling.Blind ShufflingBlind shuffling is crucial to the Neocheater.He automatically and constantly blind shuffles -- withdeadly effects.Blind shuffling is easy.With about two hours of practice, anyone can appear tothoroughly shuffle a deck of cards while actually leaving the upper half or two thirds of the deck (thestack) undisturbed.Blind shuffling is a key tool for Neocheaters.Any suspicion aroused by awkward or hesitantmovements in the process of stacking is dissipated after a few blind shuffles and a false cut.In fact,in many games, a player could simply spread cards on a poker table and laboriously stack them oneby one as other players watch, but as long as he thoroughly blind shuffles the deck afterward, no onewill accuse him of cheating.So effective is the blind shuffle that a person can stack a number of cards, blind shuffle and thenconvince opponents that their cards are marked by reading the values of the cards prior to turningthem over one by one.Or he can convince players that he is a "psychic", able to read the backs ofcards with his eyes tightly shut while his fingertips "feel the vibes".He can fool anyone -- not onlymystics, but scientists, businessmen, poker professionals -- anyone except another Neocheater or thereader of this book.Ironically, intelligent men can spend thousands of hours playing cards, but know nothing aboutmanipulating them.And almost all honest cardplayers are ignorant of Neocheating maneuvers."Ican spot a crook anytime," is one indicator of an easy target for the Neocheater.The Neocheaterloves to encounter the closed mind.He knows how easy it is to empty the wallet of the man whothinks he knows everything.Professional cheaters generally disdain tricks such as "proving" cards are marked or "reading" themwith their fingertips.Professionals call those tricks cheap flash, but such tricks demonstrate theseemingly miraculous effects of blind shuffling.Commencing with the blind shuffle:Step One: Assume that you have stacked the deck using either discard stacking or methodsdescribed later.You now need to produce the illusion of thoroughly shuffling the deck beforedealing.So begin by preparing for what appears to be a normal overhand shuffle by placing the deckin your left hand as shown in Figure 13.Note the position of the fingers on the deck: Thumb on top,forefinger placed against the front edge, two middle fingers on bottom, and the little finger curledaround the rear edge.Hold the deck so it feels comfortable and natural.(Neocheaters generally usethose finger positions when shuffling blind or otherwise.) Tilt the upper end slightly downwardtoward the table to facilitate faster shuffling and to keep the cards from flashing.With your righthand, pull half the deck or less from the bottom using the two right center fingers and right thumb onopposite ends.The right forefinger should rest on top of the deck portion just pulled out by yourright hand.Figure 13Holding the Deck During the Blind ShuffleNow, using your left thumb, slide the top card from the deck portion in your right hand onto the deckportion retained in your left hand.But jut this top card toward you about an eighth of an inch (orslightly more) so that it protrudes a little from the rear of the deck in your left hand.Your curled leftlittle finger will rest against this jutting card on top.Now casually overhand shuffle the remainingcards in the right hand, a few at a time, onto the top jutting card in the left hand.The jutting card isnow located near the middle of the deck, and your cards should look approximately like those shownin Figure 13.The jutting card, hereafter called the break card, creates a break in the deck not visibleto others.The half of the deck beneath the break-card is the stack.That portion of the deck willremain intact.Step Two: Withdraw the lower part of the deck, the stack, with your right hand, up to but notincluding the jutting break card, and throw this entire portion on top of the cards in your left hand,briefly squaring the deck with your right fingers.Now the stack sits again undisturbed on the top;yet, the deck appears to be shuffled.Repeat steps one and two for ten minutes, doing the steps as relaxed and smoothly as you can.Donot worry about speed; simply get the feel of that jutting break-card.Your left little finger should bebrushing the break-card, and your right thumb should easily feel the break-card as you pull out thestack.Try for a natural rhythm, a casual pace.After the first ten minutes of practice, you should nothave to look at the cards [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
