Hay muchas manos de p\u00f3ker de diez cartas disponibles. La idea b\u00e1sica es que, para la mano final de la noche, tu oponente sugiri\u00f3 jugar una mano de p\u00f3ker de cinco cartas con solo diez cartas, pero el espectador elige qu\u00e9 cartas recibe. T\u00fa, el crupier, terminas ganando con una mano de p\u00f3ker, generalmente una escalera real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The issue I have with a lot of them is the method of allowing the user to choose their cards. One trick I recently saw being sold, the first choice the spectator had was between two cards, but the second was to choose two cards from among three. I found this lack of consistency problematic. Here is how I got around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, have the spectator shuffle the deck. I take the deck from the spectator and using my two step cull technique, cull a royal flush to the top. I then shuffle five more cards on top of the stock. This is the starting position, from the top down five indifferent cards followed by a Royal Flush in any suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then deal off ten cards to the table. Because the stock had the five indifferent cards on top, after the deal the ten cards can be picked up, flashing the bottom indifferent card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I false shuffle those ten cards ending up with the stock still on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then spread the top two cards over and ask the spectator which one they they want. I deal their choice to the table in front of them and put the other card to the bottom of the remaining cards. Because of the stack, they choose between two indifferent cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I repeat that step, with the following difference. I take a break under the third card down as I spread the top two for their choice. After I deal their choice to the table, I place the card not chosen back on top as I arrange the two dealt cards that are on the table. Because of the break it is easy to take the “double” card as one and move it to the bottom of the cards you are holding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repeat the above steps to deal two cards to your hand, with the spectator choosing which cards you get. There are now four cards dealt, two to the spectator and two to you, the dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this point if you looked at the cards left in your left hand you would see three indifferent cards on top of the three remaining cards of the Royal Flush. Spread the top two cards for the spectator to choose their next card. Repeat the taking of the double, moving two cards as one to the bottom of the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three Royal Flush cards are now on top. Take the top two cards off for the spectator to choose between, choosing the dealers next card, taking a break below the now top card. Deal the selected card to your hand as you place the not chosen card back on top of the stock. I justify replacing the card by using my right hand to adjust the cards already dealt. (I am dealing the cards in two rows).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repeat the two card spread off for the next selection, for the spectators card, but without a break. Simply move the single card to the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repeat the two card spread off for the next selection, for the dealers card and again move the single card to the bottom. You are now left with two cards in your left hand, and indifferent one on top and a royal flush card below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you can do a magicians choice, although I will often just deal the last two cards down with some comment such as “That leaves one for you and one for me”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this point you have a Royal Flush and the Spectator has a losing hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I like about this is that each selection and deal looks the same from the spectators point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will leave the choice of patter up to you. I like to present this as a story of how I learned not to play another players game, describing myself in the role of the spectator as we demonstrate what happened to me, thus avoiding the classic plot of the magician making the spectator a loser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
