Aqu\u00ed les dejo algunos que he aprendido a lo largo de los a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Todos estos, a menos que se indique lo contrario, comienzan con las cartas de la corte retiradas y boca arriba sobre la mesa. En las descripciones a continuaci\u00f3n, utilizo los reyes rojos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daryl&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This one I think I saw in a DVD by Daryl.  Have a card selected and control it to the bottom of the deck. Place the two face up  kings on top of the deck and openly out jog the top one.  Grip the deck in a Hindu shuffle grip and with your left little finger in jog the selection as you under-cut half of the deck.  Complete the cut putting the lower half on top aligned with the out-jogged King.  The in-jogged selection will cover the other King.  Now undercut again taking all of the in-jogged cards.  That undercut will have the selection on top, followed by a face up King.  Drop that half on top and cut the deck one last time.  The selection is now between the two face up Kings in the middle of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marlo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This uses Maro&#8217;s cover up cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Have a card peeked at in the middle of the deck. Get a break above it with your left little finger as the deck is closed. With the right hand pick up the two red kings and place them face up on the deck. Take the top one in the right hand to show both face up kings, and as you return the right hand king to the top of the deck, get a break between the kings with your right thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Undercut all of the cards below your little finger break and place them on top of the kings, keeping your thumb break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Undercut all the cards below the thumb break, but as you do that, use your left thumb to slip-cut the top card (the selection) onto the top of the undercut cards.  This will cover the face up king. Place the undercut cards to the top.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Now do one more single undercut.  This centers the sandwich.  It looks like you simply did three cuts.  But in reality you have placed the selection between the kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Spread the cards to reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sandwich with milk (shuffle)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Have a card selected and bring it to the top. This effect uses overhand shuffles so I like to be consistent and I use an overhand shuffle for the control.  Have a card removed and looked at.  Then start an overhand shuffle with the deck face down, telling the spectator to stop you near the middle.  Have the selected card returned and then continue the overhand shuffle, running six cards, in-jogging the next and shuffling off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Undercut at the in-jog, run six cards, and throw the rest on top. This brings the selected card to the top of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Have the spectator pick up one of the face up kings and turn it over face down.  Turn the deck face up and start an overhand shuffle, telling the spectator to say stop near the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">  When you stop, have them place the face down king onto the shuffled off portion.  Continue the shuffle, but milk a block of cards from the cards in your right hand.  This places the selection onto of the face down king.  Note if you don&#8217;t want to milk shuffle, you can simply throw the right hand cards onto the face down king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Turn the deck face down and spread it between your hands showing the face up king.  Close up the deck, taking a break above the face down card that is above the face up king.  This is the selection.  Now double cut the deck, bringing the face up king and face down selection to the top of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Turn the deck face up again and repeat the overhand shuffle and placement of the second king face down.  Repeat the milk shuffle (or the throw of the deck), and you now have the sandwich in the middle of the deck with the selection between the kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faro Sandwich<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Have the two red kings face up on the top of the deck.  Do a faro check to spot the twenty-sixth card from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Dribble the cards to the table telling the spectator to say stop.  Time the dribble so they stop below the twenty-sixth card.  Have them look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Turn the deck face up and fan it.  Take their selection face down and place it reversed into the deck. Place it below the card you spotted, so that the selection is now at position twenty-seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Turn the kings face down and have the deck cut.  Do a out faro and the kings will end up sandwiching the selected card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turnover pass reveal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Control the selection to the top of the deck.  Pick up the two red kings as you get a break under the selection.  Picking up the kings gives you ample misdirection for a single card push-off to the break.  Lay the face up kings onto the deck and pick up all three cards as you slide the top king to the deck.  Lay the other &#8220;king&#8221;, actually a double on top.  As you are doing this you are telling the spectator that the kings can float down through the deck and find the selection.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The previous actions have place the selection between the kings.  Perform a turn-over pass turning the deck face up, and then immediately face down again, showing that the kings have vanished.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Spread the face down deck to find the face up kings with one card face down between them.  Reveal that to be the spectators selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A variation of this is to control the selection to the bottom of the deck.  Display the kings and tell the speculator that you will place the kings into the deck so that the selection is trapped between them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Use a finger pull down to buckle the bottom card at the rear of the deck and insert the first king above it. It should look like you simple placed on king on the bottom.  I leave the king partially injogged.  Place the second king on top, partially outjogged.  Say &#8220;See, your selection is trapped&#8221;.  This, of course, is  a joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Square up the cards and do the turn over pass, turning the deck face up and then face down, showing the kings have gone.  Spread the deck to display the actual sandwich.<br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are probably hundreds of methods for achieving the &#8220;Sandwich&#8221; effect, where the selected card is found between two face up court cards.
