Jerry Camaro teaches his technique for the Bottom Deal which is easier than most. You will learn his grip, rhythm, removal, snap, and how to eliminate sound. He also teaches how to practice and gives many routines for you to experiment with.

Routines performed and explained:

  • The Lie Detector: A selected card is lost in the deck. The spectator answers three questions by lying or telling the truth. Her answers are spelled with one card per letter. The cards spelled to reveal the correct answers and the next card is her selection.
  • The Poker Deal: A gambling demonstration where the four aces are lost in the deck and four poker hands are dealt and played with the spectators. The finale gives the dealer a Royal Flush.
  • Spectator Finds The Card: A shuffled the deck is cut in two. A card is selected and lost in the first pile. A card from the second pile is used as an indicator to spell or count to the selection.
  • Happy Birthday: A card routine geared toward Birthdays. A card is selected and lost in the deck. As everyone sings Happy Birthday the cards are dealt to the rhythm -- the final card dealt is the selection.
  • The Ace Assembly: A quick and direct assembly where aces vanish from three different packets and assemble with the leader packet.
  • Any Number: A card is selected and lost in the deck. The spectator names her favorite number and when it is counted (or spelled) to the selection is found at that location.
  • Say Stop: A selection is lost in the deck and as the cards are dealt to the table a spectator says stop. The value of the stopped at card is used to count to the selection.
  • Four Selections: Two or four selections are lost in the deck and are spelled to after they are named.
  • Under My Spell: A selection from a shuffled deck is lost and then spelled to.
  • A Tribute To Richard Turner: Five questions are asked and the answers are spelled from the deck. The top card of each packet is turned over to form a full house. As a kicker ending the five packets are turned over and the bottom cards form a Royal Flush.
  • Double Poker Deal: Five poker hands are dealt from a shuffled deck as the dealer gets the four aces. The deck is then handed to a spectator to deal five hands and she deals herself a Royal Flush.
If you have not found your favorite technique for doing a bottom deal this DVD could be for you. If you already mastered the bottom deal but don't know what to do with it this DVD will show you eleven routines to choose from.

3 Minutes of Instruction Report this review

I believe this item is more for intermediate to advanced cardmen who have been practicing a version of the bottom for some time. Like so many other 'instructors' (not just in magic), this is a case of someone doing something for so long, and having achieved great proficiency, they don't recall the subtle challenges they struggled with when initially learning.
The approach, and how to practice, is covered in the first three minutes. The rest of the video covers applications.
Any subtleties or nuances, such as balancing and synchronizing the push off with the takeaway, things to watch for, etc. are not addressed.
Again, I believe this is for people who have been working on this slight, and will find it a relatively easy adaptation. Beginners would best be served by looking at Jason England's video on the bottom, a far more comprehensive instruction, covering the bottom from Erdnase on forward and the other resources Jason mentions therein.

Helpful but Repetitive Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 22nd, 2012
I've tried a couple of different bottom deals, and this is by far the easiest and cleanest I've found so far. He also gives some tips and practice ideas, so that's all very nice.

The tricks are where I have a problem. A few of them are really brilliant, but many of them are just carbon copies of one another, with just slight differences (e.x. spectator picks a number, or spectator picks a card, and that's their number).

Some more variety in the tricks would have been nice, as well as some more techniques for getting a card to the bottom in the first place.

Overall though, the bottom deal is solid, and has hundreds of applications. My friends learned how to spot my old bottom deal, but with this one, they have yet to figure it out :)
