Las pilas de p\u00f3ker sencillas son divertidas, pero cuando quieres subir la apuesta, por as\u00ed decirlo, una demostraci\u00f3n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Jack Carpenter has methods for this effect, and so does Simon Aronson.  I found this one in Aronson&#8217;s book Simple Simon.  In his method you need to crimp a card and pre-stack four cards of a Royal Flush.  I didn&#8217;t like his method for the prestack or having to use a crimp so this is what I came up with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with a shuffled deck, where the spectator knows the deck is completely shuffled. Remove the four aces, and as you do cull the four spade cards, king, queen, jack and ten to the top of the deck. I use my two step cull.  Note that all of this is done before the spectator thinks the trick has begun.  During this process patter about how gamblers cheat at cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point you have the four aces face up on the table, and the flush cards face down on top of the deck.  Ask the spectators if they know what an overhand shuffle is, and then demonstrate one for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The demonstration shuffle stacks the four flush cards to the positions 1, 1, 6, and 11 as required by Aronson, using an Erdnase shuffle.  Double cut one flush card to the bottom of the deck.  Undercut  half the deck with your right hand and begin your overhand shuffle by using your left thumb to injog the top card of the left hand portion.  Run seven cards, outjog the eighth, and shuffle off the remaining cards with the last card (a flush card) ending up on top.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now push up with your right thumb on the injogged card and your right fingertips on the outjogged card and cut the deck at the outjog, keeping a thumb break at the injog. Start the next overhand shuffle.  Run four cards, throw to the break, and run two more cards.  Outjog the next card and shuffle off.  Cut to the outjog and throw on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flush cards are now stacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now follow Aronson&#8217;s instructions for the ace stack.  Briefly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a break under the top two cards of the deck as you pick up the face up aces.  Place the Ace of Spades third from the face.  Flip the aces face down on top of the deck and pick up all the cards above the break (six cards) in a Biddle grip.  Use your left thumb to pull off the top ace and flip it face up as you say &#8220;the aces start on top of the deck&#8221;, and then use the packet in your right hand to flip that ace back over and replace it on the bottom of the packet.  Drop the packet on top of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Double cut the top two cards to the bottom of the deck.  You are now ready to begin the Aronson stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run two cards, on the third card pull off a large block of cards as your right hand steals the first two cards run.  Run three more cards and as your pull of the next (seventh) card add the two stolen cards back under it.  Run two more cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is where I deviate from Aronson&#8217;s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throw the remaining cards on top, but keep a break by injogging the block thrown. Square up the deck taking the break over with your right thumb and let two cards riffle off with the thumb, keeping a new break.  Lift the cards above that break with your right hand and run four cards, then run six more, injog and shuffle off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under cut at the injog, run six cards and throw the remaining cards on top to finish the stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are now set to deal five hands of poker.  The first hand with get three aces, and the dealers hand a royal flush.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I enjoy gambling demonstrations.
