This booklet teaches a seven-phase gambling routine that is practically self-working. It is based on the classic ten-card poker deal and is the routine David uses to close all his formal close-up shows.

It is likely the best version of this routine ever published, with each phase getting more impossible than the previous one as new variants are introduced like wild cards and torn cards.

If you are not familiar with the ten-card poker deal it is a basically a two person routine where you play a spectator a game of Poker using only ten cards. But despite going out of your way to make it seem fair s/he can never beat you.

Here is what Jamy Ian Swiss wrote in his two-and-a-half page introduction to the book: “...here you have an up to seven-phase routine - that’s right, seven phases, if you can sustain the interest and deliver on its promise - that is ingeniously constructed not simply to entertain and mystify, but to build step by step to an ever stronger climax - one that David closes his shows with! - and yet at the same time, actually becomes more mystifying with repetition, thanks to David’s diabolical construction.”

Even more important than the great routine, this detailed booklet teaches you about construction, routining and presentation strategies that you can implement into your existing repertoire.
