Magic Tricks

First of all, Roberto is a legend and everyone should own all of his books. However… something sneaky happened in this trailer. This trick fooled me badly only because he wrote the predictions as Dan was shuffling. I bought the book right away because I thought this aspect was the variant. Sadly, this was not the case. You still need to glimpse the top and bottom cards AFTER they shuffle. In this video, it was staged. Roberto had already placed his predictions on the top and bottom of the deck and then told Dan (before filming) to give the deck a top and bottom retention shuffle. Is this a deal breaker? I don’t know. But it’s incredibly misleading and I felt let down. But at the end of the day, a laymen will remember it the same way. In any case, the material in the book otherwise is top notch.
