    Level 1: this demonstration is based on a routine by Jim Swain, explained on his Miracles DVD set.
    Level 2: I use a shuffle sequence created by Rod the Hop in this phase and throughout the video. It is explained in Steve Forte's books, Gambling Sleight of Hand Vols. 1 and 2.
    Levels 3 & 4: these demonstrations are based off of Harry Lorayne's routine Numero Uno, released on Vol. 1 of his "Best Ever" DVD set.
    Level 5: while different in method, this level is based off of ideas found throughout Jim Swain's act on the first DVD of his Miracles DVD set.
    Levels 6, 7, & 8: these levels are comprised of a slight variation of Darwin Ortiz's routine Positively Fifth Street, found in his book Lessons in Card Mastery.
    Levels 9 & 10: this demonstration is a (very) slight variation of the Dai Vernon Poker Demonstration, published in the Dai Vernon Book of Magic.

      sir, thank ye fer the video but, ye have a little misinformation. The Yugioh trading card game ain't based off of the anime serie of it. It is the compllete opposite: first the game came out and the anime is just a commercial fer the game but; of course, it's popularity acceed continents and the first serie anime of yugioh bacme the most watched cartoon in 'murica once upon a time. Best.

    I would have drawn a card with the quad 2's. There's no downside, and it helps obfuscate the hand. If you stand pat then you're telegraphing a very strong hand. If you draw, then there's more ambiguity.

      Yes, that's what I was also thinking l, but just like Daniel mentioned, heck, the dealer would just bottom deal as to not mess the stack. However, if I had quads straight from the deal, I would definitely change a card. Resting in that situation would most likely make all your opponents fold.

    • @NYKevin100
      @NYKevin100 2 года назад +5

      Also, you have decent odds of drawing a better kicker than a five. It makes no difference in a game without wilds (which I can only assume this is), but not all players are going to realize that.

    @lolledopke 2 года назад +4

    7:47 This doesn't really have anything to do with the video, but I was wondering what the best strategy is if you have four of a kind and don't need another card. Is it best to keep your 5 (in this case) or should you discard it in the hopes that you get a new card that one of the other players want?

    • @BrooksMoses
      @BrooksMoses 2 года назад +1

      One of the other commenters answered this. The best strategy is to discard one, because otherwise you're telegraphing to the other players that you have a hand so strong you don't need to discard anything.
      Aside from the mental game, though, it doesn't matter to the statistics.

  • @towellight9400
    @towellight9400 2 года назад +22

    Beautiful as always.
    How I would have handled the discard/draw phase at the end:
    The first hand, I agree with the discard because it is too unlikely to go for the straight because the numbers are far enough away.
    Second hand, also agree.
    The third hand however, personally I would have discarded the 5 because I would want the rest of the table to think I was fishing for a straight, flush, or full house.
    Also for the fourth player, the sucker who cut the deck nicely for you, with 5 players at the table, and having 2-3 extra cards taken, that would mean 27-28 cards are in play. I wouldn't risk getting rid of all my other cards and hoping for a jack or another pair. I probably would have kept the 9 and hoped for a jack or a 9.

    • @TheBierp
      @TheBierp 2 года назад +2

      Amazing demonstration, as always.
      I agree that with the third hand I would have drawn a single card, just to make it seem like I wasn't on a 'pat' hand, but was drawing in hopes of getting a hand. In a 'normal' game, heavily betting after that could be taken as a bluff from someone who missed their draw, etc. It would just be more likely to encourage betting.
      Of course, Daniel would roll with this, bottom dealing that draw or similar. :)

    @Joel-pi6tg 2 года назад +1

    An alternative outcome to the draw poker level is that your "partner" draws the fourth Ace (supposing there is no limit to the number of cards you can replace, like say three cards, four if you are keeping an ace), and that should not be a problem for the dealer because they can simply give themselves a nine of spades to complete a straight flush. There can even be wild cards, where the dealer gets five of a kind and the player to their right gets the royal flush.
