I feel your pain, Joe. I'm here in Brooklyn and we are still Bammo-less. I'm ashamed to go outside.

Re: Inventing The Ten Card Poker Deal
All you guys should be reading the book by next week.
In the meantime, make sure you buy two (2) of Tim Ellis's trick:
http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S133
Tim's routine is in the book, but his gaff is used in several other routines, and in some, you need two of them.
I have a routine that uses Tim's gaff, as well as some other ideas that will completely fool anyone who knows the basic principle.
The problem we have now is Google. Layman can find out the basic principle in seconds, so, to counter that, you need more advanced methods that hide the basic principle.
Also, save all those poker ranking cards that come with Bicycles. Those are used for a wonderful finale devised by Mike Porstmann.

Well, the truth be told, I am not worthy. I was just making a funny(?).
And that's all I've got to say about that.

Ha! That's too funny!
I'm just teasing--I have it under good authority that my autographed copy is on the way--can't wait to join all of you in enjoying this book.
Got my Ellis gaffs and am rarin' to go. Finding those rank of poker hands cards is going to be be the challenge. Do they still include those in the new bike decks?

Re: Inventing The Ten Card Poker Deal
If you can't find the ranking cards, search the internet for images under "poker ranking." Print that out in color, prepare it as noted in the book, and encase it in some plastic (used for ID cards--go to Walmart).

I tried to make the book an enjoyable read because it easily could have become a tedious, turgid jungle of technical descriptions.

I thought maybe I made Farmer mad by stealing Rush as a client, but I guess he forgave me because the book finally arrived in Springfield, MO today. Yea right...like anyone could do the job for this group like Bob.
The book looks fantastic! Can't wait to dive in. Wonder if it has the one with the Jonah card?

Re: Inventing The Ten Card Poker Deal
Received today in Delaware!
I noticed it was shipped media mail on the 23rd from NY. If your book was mailed the same day but you reside significantly further south or west, you should expect it to take a little more time.

I do believe this is the biggest booktease I've ever been involved with. Paris and Dallas before NYC? I'm still not convinced my mailman doesn't have the hots for a good poker hand. Call me confused, desperate, and hungry to read my copy...

Re: Inventing The Ten Card Poker Deal
Got home after a long, too-busy day. Pattie’s on her school trip, so I have double duty, then Robby broke the garage door window. Finally had a minute to myself, went into my office to do something I can’t remember.
There’s a package sitting on my desk. This in itself is startling, as Tom Stoppard wrote. Pattie was not home to bring the package inside, open it, and put it on my desk. Robby was home, but he’s never opened a package and would have told me if he had. How did it get there?
The Bammo Ten Card Deal Dossier had magically appeared in my office.
This is the greatest magic book ever, and I haven’t read a word. It magically appeared in my office!
Method
It arrived yesterday; Pattie forgot to tell me. By chance I was busy yesterday (and tomorrow, now that I think of it) and didn’t make it into my office.

Don't worry. The book is hermetically sealed within plastic, then wrapped in a cuddling bag of bubble wrap inside a protective layer of armor-grade cardboard. All secured by thick bands of a 21st century adhesive product.
Rain will not affect it.
Don't worry, I'm a professional.

I borrowed my neighbor's blow torch to open mine. But I thought the charring of the pages added a lovely character and charm to the effects. I'm loving it.
Re: Inventing The Ten Card Poker Deal
By a happy coincidence both the book and the Ellis cards arrived at AJM Towers today.
A very handsome volume indeed, very many congratulations to the author whoever he is - it seems we know very little about him.

And it wasn't raining...and it was there as I got home for 3 days off work. Your timing is amazing, Bob.

What we really need is a comprehensive compendium of the Ambitious Card Routine and all of its variations. How about it, Bob? Volume 1 could be on the Double Lift, Volumes 2 and 3 could cover the routines that have been developed over the last century or so.

Re: Inventing The Ten Card Poker Deal
Daryl did a book on The Ambitious Card years ago--it's long out of print, and wasn't by any means comprehensive, but it was good. Perhaps Andy Greget can find you a copy, Bill.
