I have to be honest, when looking through the demos, Luke Jermay just seemed douchey to me. I downloaded one of his videos as a supplement to Oz Pearlman's Emerge Triumphant and I changed my opinion of him. His teaching is very good, even though the video quality was sub par. But I digress, his quality of teaching outshines even the worst video quality, and this download does not deviate. I will be purchasing more from him soon

This trick is great! I have so much fun doing this trick to people I know, whether it be the same person or someone new... because even if it's the same person no one ever figures it out! The trick presents itself so fair that it is just impossible for anyone to comprehend how it's accomplished. I personally am able to pick up on magic secrets if I see them performed once or twice, but Luke's performance completely baffled me in the preview. I'm definitely glad to have this trick in my repertoire for one of those days where all my friends just want to play poker... and I show them a demonstration that they just can't win over. =)

I like this trick a lot. It takes almost no skill to do and packs a big punch everytime I perform it. It takes little preperation and is great to perfom to poker player hot shots! They'll never see it coming!
4 stars because its not 100% impromptu.

This is a fantastic blank canvas which you can do what you want with. It is a brilliant routine, that can be used to show your ability to control cards, your ability to influence people into doing what you want them to do, or you can simply use it to show people that you're unbeatable at poker.

The effect is very easy to perform, and like I have said above, it really is a blank canvas that you can mould to your performing style, whatever it may be. This routine will fit a mentalist or magician. A cardshark or a comedy magician...anyone can use this routine

Highly Recommended.

I use this effect quite a bit, and it never ceases to get amazing results.

The teaching for the effect is extremely solid. Luke goes over everything that you need to do to be able to do the effect.

The effect is super easy to do, works every time, and always gets great results. I have had several people refuse to let me get involved in a game of cards after seeing me perform this simple effect!!

The effect is taught as a three stage routine, but you don't need to use all three of them if you don't want. I typically limit it to two stages, then cut the effect off. After that, when the spectators ask for more, I can give them one more stage if I want to. I feel that by automatically doing the three stages you might be letting some spectators down if you "can't" do it one more time.

Overall I really recommend this effect. I know that there are other 10 card poker effects out there, but Luke's is solid...and it's an Instant Download so there's no waiting for shipping!!

I do love doing this trick most of the time. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. THe first two parts of the routine get them every time, but the third part is a bit tricky and you really have to work on it a lot to get the feel of the trick and the feel of the person.

Now I am nearsighted which makes it difficult to do, and once you get the trick you will understand why, but if you are confident in yourself you can pull it off regardless. This is the reason for 4 stars

Luke offers his take on the classic 10 Card Poker deal. For those of you who already know a version of the 10-Card Poker deal you'll find a couple of neat presentational ideas and subtleties. If you don't know one, you're in a for a really great, flexible, strong routine.

It is a great concept and lots of usefulness. I've done this for a while having learned it from a peer; but I purchased the download to get Jermay's insights and advice. His instruction does add something to what I was already doing. My concern is the price--I think there is more value out there for less.

A nice Poker effect that is easy to perform and good fun but lacks a real killer finish.

I like tricks like this. Simple, with a good thematic scheme. Vegas. Gambling. Poker. It builds upon itself, so it is not a 1 and out trick. There are 3 routines, each raising the stakes, so to speak. Nicely done!
