Of all the false deals, the undisputed King is the Bottom Deal. Known as “dealing from the cellar”, “base dealing”, “dealing the plank”, “dealing from downstairs” and other monikers, it’s the one false deal that most benefits both hustlers and magicians alike.

 In general, there are two different ways to deal a bottom: the push-off and the take. Both are used under various circumstances and for different reasons, be it by the gambler or the magician.

In the Hustler’s Bottom Deal, you’ll learn how to deal both styles. You’ll also learn how to easily and effortlessly deal bottoms in succession, stud as well as one-handed. You’ll learn what cards to use, what grip to employ, and how to practice using a fun yet powerful and methodical approach to ensure you’ll be dealing bottoms on a professional level to anywhere on the table and at any time you choose.

The Hustler’s Bottom Deal also delves into how to deal with sound differences, how to improve at lightning speed, as well as how to properly control movement of the left thumb. Nothing has been left out. You’ll be privy to expert instruction that will steer you clear of the inevitable pitfalls that slow down the learning process and lead to frustration and failure. In addition, you’ll learn about actual gambling games where it is legal to deal from the bottom, giving you a ton of ideas for unique and original presentations that can only be limited by your own imagination. 

Also included are four blockbuster routines to showcase your skill. In the first routine you blatantly tell the audience you’ll be dealing from the bottom and challenge them to catch you; they can’t. In another, you’ll employ the bottom as a secret sleight twice, testing your abilities, and you’ll deal an actual card from the center using a method that has fooled world-class card magicians on five continents. The third routine is a real knuckle buster for those who love a challenge where shuffle controls, riffle stacking, bottom dealing (both secret and exposed), as well as a double duke and a double cross all come together to produce what is perhaps the penultimate routine to showcase a genuine hustle mixed in with a little Hollywood showmanship. The final routine is perhaps the easiest using a Bottom Deal with a five card packet. Created by the brilliant Max Maven, not only is it easy to do, it’s a fascinating piece of card magic that not only entertains but the mechanics of its simple elegance will leave you in awe of Max’s creativity.

Finally, you’ll read real-life stories featuring casino executives, card room managers, and legendary professional advantage players. There is even a story of how a hustler influenced one of the most iconic scenes in one of the greatest films motion picture history. You won’t believe it, but it’s all here, and it’s all true: the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Start your journey to mastering the Bottom Deal today and you’ll be an expert in no time.
