Bets in Show is a super strong card routine with no sleight of hand. In fact, you barely touch the cards! Your spectators do the cutting, the dealing, and the handling while you seemingly just let the magic happen.
You begin with a deck of cards and five poker chips. After you give the cards a quick shuffle, your participants cut the deck themselves in a variety of different ways, cutting to four cards.
It may seem like you've made a mistake, as they've cut to random cards. But you then show that the four cards they cut to match the names of the casinos on each chip. The Ace of Spades is next to a $1 chip from the Black Aster Casino. The Five of Diamonds is next to a $5 chip from the Five Points Royale, and so on. That's not all, but printed on the back of each chip is the exact card that they cut to!
But there is still one last chip. It's from the Desert Oasis Casino. The back is... blank.
You then reveal that every card in the deck is blank, aside from the four they cut to!
Best of all, you finish completely clean. No trick cards, sleight of hand, or deck switch to worry about.
John Guastaferro worked with Vanishing Inc. to create the highest quality props imaginable. You'll receive a specially printed deck, a leather coin wallet, and five high-quality, custom-designed poker chips. Printed on each chip is a fictional casino, with the corresponding card on the other side.
You'll also get full video instruction from John, walking you through the routine and everything you need to start performing it.
If you're looking for a killer closer that's as easy as it is powerful, you've found it. Get Bets in Show today!
