Question:

Does anyone know how to deal seconds? Personally I can't. Please help.



Paul's response:

Start with the Bill Simon book "Effective Card Magic" - although you may not settle on his technique, it as fine a tutorial as has ever been written. The general info and observations will stand you in good stead as you explore other deals. Also, the finesses that make a second look right are worthless to you at this point; you need to learn the rudiments of the deal first. Erdnase offers excellent advice, but the technique is quite advanced, and assumes that you have significant card handling experience already.
The Simon book may be out of print, I'm not sure, but it is readily available from used book dealers. More details if you want, but I will have to post them in the Banquet Section. Just let me know.

Best, PSC
