This is a card act rather than a single trick. It is a full-deck effect, tells a story, has audience participation as spectators become the characters, is full of magic, and has an ending that that no one will see coming that will fry the audience. It is called, “The Tournament”, and it will convince your audiences that you are the greatest card cheat of all-time. There is no false dealing, which means that the dealing portions of this routine are all self-working. The finale of the act is a mind-blower and brings everything to a logical conclusion.
Two methods are provided, one which utilizes the Faro Shuffle and one that does not. There are no gaffs whatsoever. The deck can be given away to a spectator as a souvenir if you wish. This act employs effects, subtleties, gambits, and other sneaky stuff from Nick Trost, Daryl, Aldo Colombini, Martin Lewis, Meir Yedid, and others.

Pros: Not a high quality video, but steady camera work and an understandable sound track. An interesting combination of moves and subtleties from various sources, reasonable well referenced, makes this a starting point, but..

Cons: My opinion only but in it's present form, this is not a "worker." Where one might expect a series of effects or perhaps a full story ala "Sam the Bellhop," this does not fulfill that expectation. As performed, the routine is jerky, with too many stop, reset (move cards around), starts and repetitions that qualify as "once is interesting, but four times is pedantic;" for instance the use of Yedid's Faro Flourish (and the line that goes with it..). Worse yet, the premise of a Poker game is negated by the use of four cards per hand without any back story or explanation. Even the final reveal is just more and more of the same and the audience is way ahead of you by the time you are done. As a reference piece, comparatively I would equate it to many of the other offerings here at Penguin at 1/3 (to perhaps up to 2/3) the price.
