10 Exact Cuts

Evans, Henry

(Based on 2 reviews)
A spectator shuffles a deck of cards and another spectator simply names any of the four suits. The magician retrieves the pack and then quickly cuts it into 10 piles. Amazingly, the first packet is counted and found to contain just one card! The second packet contains two cards, the third three cards and so on, all the way through to the last packet containing exactly 10 cards. The top card of each packet is then turned over (remember the deck was shuffled by a spectator at the beginning), and assuming that the spectator chose Spades as the suit, the first card is the Ace of Spades. The card on top of the second packet is the Two of Spades, on top of the third packet is the Three of Spades and so on all the way through the rest of the packets.
The Ace through Ten of Spades are then set aside and the deck is reassembled. The Jack of Spades is then found on top of the deck and the Queen and King of Spades are found on the bottom. The deck is then cut again, this time into three piles which are shown to each contain the thirteen cards of the remaining suits, in numerical order.

A little late to the dance, but on top of what Bizzaro wrote, I got this a year ago from a dealer's "Bargain Bin" and upon examination, realized that with the deck being so heavily gimmicked there would be no way that I would allow the deck to be handled by a spectator. I'm glad that I paid nowhere near the $40.00 retail price.

P.S. By altering the handling somewhat and using a more subtle style of work on the deck I am able to achieve the desired effect.

10 exact cuts hunh? Henry Evan's puts out some odd stuff. Some of it is good. Some of it is.. well... not. I am sure that to a magician this is a feat of pure skill and technique. However it is not. To a normal person it might be impressive, but nowhere near as impressive as a good sponge ball routine.

Let's talk flaws here. The reset is a pain. Definitely not strolling trick. It's a one trick pony. Only made to do one thing, and that's it. Let's face it, don't you already have enough trick decks that do only one thing as it is. Spend the money on an invisible deck and be a god for way less work.

Another winner.... and by winner I mean bland product.
