Me estoy haciendo viejo y olvidadizo. Esta mañana recordé un truco de cartas que me gustaba hacer, pero no recordaba los pasos ni en qué libro o revista lo aprendí. Finalmente reconstruí los pasos y decidí que necesitaba escribir estos trucos. Cabe destacar que esto no es original. Simplemente no recuerdo dónde lo aprendí.

La configuración de esta versión es muy sencilla. Pide al espectador que baraje la baraja. Recoge la baraja y extiende las cartas boca arriba, retirando los ases a medida que los encuentres y dejándolos caer sobre la mesa.

Esta es mi versión del "Riffle 'n' Roll" de Jack Carpenter, de su libro "El portafolio del experto n.º 1". Soy fan de la obra de Carpenter y recomiendo cualquiera de sus libros.
La razón principal por la que ideé esta versión es que su método me parecía un poco engorroso al mantener múltiples frenos. Esta versión elimina ese problema, pero con el gasto de usar una tarjeta con un engarce de ventilación.
Citando de “La cartera del experto n.º 1”:

I added a couple of new features to the application. First of all, I wanted to be able to launch the web page on my phone without having to type in the query strings to set the card backs, stack or mode of operation. So I added an options feature.

I have been intrigued with some of the smart phone apps for magic. But I have been off put by their prices, or that they only run on Apple IOS. So I decided to write my own, although it is not an app per say, but rather a web page that you can use for a mental magic effect.
The effect
There are two basic effects. The first is that you place a prediction down on the table. The prediction is a card that they spectator is about to select, using a phone (theirs or yours). You use the phones internet browser to go to a web site that shows a deck of cards that are face up in new deck order. There are two buttons above the cards: Shuffle and Toggle Backs.
You demonstrate the shuffle button, pressing it several times to demonstrate how the cards are shuffled each time the button is pressed.

When I was performing regularly in restaurants the scalloped or concave short card was my favorite tool in my card magic arsenal. For those who don’t know what a concave short card is, it is like a normal short card, but instead of the end of the card being trimmed off with a straight cut, and then the corners reshaped, it is cut so that the corners remain, the cut starting past the corner and cutting on a slight curve.

Disfruto de las demostraciones de apuestas. Las pilas de póker sencillas son divertidas, pero cuando quieres subir la apuesta, por así decirlo, una demostración de un doble duque es buena. Un doble duque es cuando le das a un jugador una buena mano, pero te das una mejor a ti mismo.

There are many techniques used to show the mixing of cards and magical separation. Since I tend to forget them, and where I saw them, here is a collection of techniques. None are mine originally, probably. These are all just using four red and four black cards. There are a lot of versions of Oil and Water using extra hidden cards, but I like the purist handling of just using eight cards.

One of the things I enjoy is looking at the trailers for tricks, especially impromptu card tricks and reconstructing a method for doing the trick. I recently looked at “Threesome” by David Jonathan and thought it was a nice trick. In the description of the trick was the comment of “taking and old principle of magic”, which led me to this solution.

Here is another variation of the trick. This one has an additional feature that helps confuse the spectator.
