@MegaTorontoRaptors it isn't too hard I'll explain in detail. 1.) you go online or to a bookstore 2.) look for "The Expert on the Card Table" 3.) Buy it (i'm sure this will be the hardest part for you) 4.) Read it and learn from it and practice all of it 5.) Realize that for the price of the book it is actually worth a 100 times more for what you learn. These sleights are everywhere and once you understand them you can understand most magic tricks.
Much as this book is considered by many THE book on card table magic, I do believe The Royal Road has had way more impact in terms of pedagogy and cardmanship. Who agrees??
@solittleusernames For the record, the copyright on this book is long out-dated and it's actually available free (legally) online. Although you are correct in saying that the value of the contents is actually priceless.
The book, 'Expert At The Card Table' is not my book, Bubby. But, I do own it. I bought it. It is a gem of a book that reveals the world's most expert card handling. The book is revered by card Mechanics as one of the best to learn the secrets of how to do astounding card mechanics that the pros use. Although, some card Mechanics do contradict some of the publishing, but for the most part do agree on the majority. (But of course I leave that up to the reader.) The book also has back stories about the Author, S. W. Erdnase, (deceased), in the 'Foreword', states that when the name is spelled backward, it is, E.S. Andrews, revealing the true identity of the Author. Andrews was a pro card cheat. There are also many other interesting facts about the Author and the book. If you are remotely or seriously interested in learning card handling then this book is for you!
I just want to add that I say, "...my book;" and "I own it," is not to refer that it is my published works or I own the rights to the book. But, simply own a copy of the book. So when I say ..."my book" and "I own it." I was simply implying, "...my copy" of the book. Also, when I say,. ..."I own it." I was referring that I own a copy of the book, 'The Expert At The Card Table.' Sometimes when writing a comment. The use of Proper grammar or conveying a thought can be misused inadvertently.
One more additional clarification of my comment about Erdnase's Video. Edit comment: "Wonderful video. I must go through my copy of the book in great detail and master the sleights in the book!"
Thank you, my friend. As I read back my comment, it does sound like I was asking one to read my works of, 'The Expert At The Card Table' book. I lol at it after I re-read my comment. It was meant as an (!) point of my excitement to study the book and practice hard on such a great piece of publication. I am glad that you understand now what I meant to convey as thought to do such study and practice of the publication. As a writer I know better to exercise my use of Adjectives, Verbs and such. I'll try to make sure that in the future that I put the correct parts of speech in place. Thank you for the feedback, my friend. Stay well and be blessed. Also, "Keep the magic alive!"
Thank you, Bubby. Yes, some people will get bent out of shape over misunderstandings. I knew that you didn't mean anything personal. It was just the way that I worded the comment. You spoke on something that you believed in and I respect you for that. Feel free to give me a shout out anytime and who knows, we might meet up later somewhere, somehow in the future. Until then, "Keep the magic alive!" Master Close-Up Prestidigitator: Samuel Luther Hodges, Jr. (aka: Sam Sink / Luther).
@SalsaShoeProductions I wouldn't be surprised if you could go to any book store like barns and noble and find at least one copy. Amazon will have several versions I'm sure.
@chaosblood2111 Dude...if you didn't notice he's showing how some of the moves are done. That switch was meant to be seen. You didn't catch the switch, he showed you the switch.
Well, if you want to get that technical then your right. But everybody has there own variations and grips that feel natural to them. He just did what worked best for him.
Whoever wrote the book, he should have known Houdini's cards moves since the famous Erdnase transformation was developed by Houdini years before the publication of the book. Do you concur?
@Richard Lowe 1: Erdnase wrote only one book. 2: All this shit is in it, sorry, I have it in my hands right now 3: The guy in the video demonstrates a strike second deal. Erdnase wrote about two methods of second deals, the strike and the push-off. He says about the strike second deal that it "is decidedly the better, as it gives greater control of the cards and there is less liability of the right hand seizing more than one." I think you are mistaken
You might want to get your facts straight. The passage you quoted is not about a "strike second deal". He clearly mentions, "The left thumb pushes the two cards over the side". A strike second deal doesn't require two cards to be pushed off (thats why there is a difference between a strike and a push off second deal). Are you the kind of guy that calls Expert at the Card Table "The Bible" but never even read it? In case you didn't know: The video was for a contest held over at the old dananddave forum and it got alot of critic (from me aswell) because it contained alot of moves that weren't in Erdnase, yet the contest was to create a trailer for "Expert at the Card Table"
I don't understand why you are so quick to judge. Why should I be the kind of guy who calls Erdnase the Bible but never read it? I find that just insulting. And free. Now for the second deal thingy... Thanks for precising I just re-read the entire chapter and it's true I must of missed it. I always thought he described a strike second deal but I misunderstood. He actually describes two different push-off techniques. Thanks
Brenn-Adrien Dalle I'm so quick to judge because there are alot of guys like that out there. Praising the book like it's the only book in the world but actually don't have a clue about the content. And from my experience those are usually the kind of guys that are trying to lecture other ppl about it. If you're not that like that I'm sorry. From the answer you wrote to the other guy it just looked exactly like that to me. Wasn't trying to offend you though.
I like the description: "Watch in HD if your internet permits it. ", how different was the internet 11 years ago. Was this a Dan and Dave contest? I remember some video challenge from long time ago with Erdnase theme
not too impressed. retaining top stock during a riffle shuffle? the palm, we didnt see him get into it (which is the most important part) and the card is obviously sticking out of his hand. the second deal had way too much wrist movement. Good video editing though...
Yo Sternmagic, forget all the moronic comments. Excellent video: great sleight execution, aesthetically pleasing and AMAZING music choice. Can you tell us about the camera/lighting used? And also, where do I find similar funky music?! Loved it mate.
It’s called The Diagonal Palm Shift. Check Alex Pandrea’s Channel, also Penn Gillette puts the deck in the dirty hand at the end , very deceptive. The book leaves out that little dribble to put the card back on the bottom but like it
@DEFThands08 I think that was the whole idea. He's showing, just like the book, how the move is pulled off and how it looks from the card dealers side if he was to be the confederate.
@MegaTorontoRaptors I think there are videos explaining every aspect of the whole book that you could buy online which would be more expensive of the book but it would be worth it

@@MichaelLeightonsKarlyPilkboys thanks, I wait a year for this answer and it totally deserve ☺
This book was Dai Vernon's bible. How I wished I could master it myself.
Wow! The diagonal palm shift was very clean.
Why about the bottom deal
This guy is pretty damn good who ever he/she is:). That two handed transformation is freaking great idea!
good man you are one of the few who can do the erdnase colour change proply :)
What you are doing is not a diagonal palm shift also the second deal is a stroke not an Erdnase double push.
Much as this book is considered by many THE book on card table magic, I do believe The Royal Road has had way more impact in terms of pedagogy and cardmanship. Who agrees??
This was wonderful. Thank you,
Good Technique in general! The Second Deal has a brief you can drive a Truck Thru! I deal a Briefless Second! Video coming soon!!!
I noticed that too.
Nice tribute to a great book and his mtsterious author! Great job!

Anyone know who did the Legrand remix on this track?
Unreal, i'm not be able to find this track anywhere...

Well this was a pretty simplistic summary of what it actually beholds…
What is he using for a card table?
youschtube I said this 2 years ago😂
Zach Pfouts The cards? Bee
@SPACKlick think of what it looks like from the front side -- where the back of the right hand is facing. You're looking at the exposed view.
Made my day!
what a beautiful book and execution
🤣⚔️🪓💉💣🗡🏹🤣 Ya, great execution

Erdnase ressurect from the dead to record this
Well, if you want to get that technical then your right. But everybody has there own variations and grips that feel natural to them. He just did what worked best for him.

Wasn't trying to offend you though.
The strike second deal was created by walter irving Scott several years after the expert at the card table was published.
i already saw the card under your left hand on first 30 secs
wonderfull video,
How can i find this book? :D
I like the description: "Watch in HD if your internet permits it.
", how different was the internet 11 years ago. Was this a Dan and Dave contest? I remember some video challenge from long time ago with Erdnase theme
yes it was!
not too impressed. retaining top stock during a riffle shuffle? the palm, we didnt see him get into it (which is the most important part) and the card is obviously sticking out of his hand. the second deal had way too much wrist movement. Good video editing though...
Who is the performer? I need to see more.
Wow, very awesome video!
is that all?
Yo Sternmagic, forget all the moronic comments. Excellent video: great sleight execution, aesthetically pleasing and AMAZING music choice. Can you tell us about the camera/lighting used? And also, where do I find similar funky music?! Loved it mate.
someone can explain me how the palm trick work ?
It’s called The Diagonal Palm Shift. Check Alex Pandrea’s Channel, also Penn Gillette puts the deck in the dirty hand at the end , very deceptive.

yes, if your advertising the book, whats in the trailer should be in the book.
It says buy on the side and if you cant see it "Le sauvage : La maison aux oiseaux"
What camera, software and music did you use!!! Wicked cool!!!
Nice vid man. Where did you pick up that sweet ass facsimile edition of erdanse?. I want one.
LIKE times 1 million!
well done greg.will find the stock very useful. Just working on my own invisible deal, the fastest possible in different variations.
more videos!!
The title of the video is the same as the book.
How old are you for do that ?!
itunes or emusic dude, as it says in the description. I'm chasing the song too!!!
1:36,the switch was clearly visible
@ArgoLupus I agree, Expert Card Technique is way better. Nowadays The Card College Series is the NEW Erdnase, or Expert...
@MegaTorontoRaptors I think there are videos explaining every aspect of the whole book that you could buy online which would be more expensive of the book but it would be worth it
Music, please
La Maison aux oiseaux
But i think is a remix
where did you get the book
the diagonal palm shift has to much movement on the bottom hand for my taste but nice!
very cool
Name of the song? nice video btw
Thats not the second deal in erdnase.
Who is this guy ?
I love how basically everything thing was exposed so you know exactly what your getting
im getting the bible edition for christmas!!!! yeah!!
And there's no SWE shift?
I really dont think that it takes away from the performance but yeah you're right
