It's the story of a drunk who wants to play poker. Being drunk as a skunk, he shuffles the cards face up and face down. Pretty bad start... but it ends very, very well! You will see… The DRUNKARD POKER is a great classic for magicians who are in their forties today, and more... The original trick was published if I remember correctly by LES CAHIERS DE LA MAGIE in the 60s. I don't know to whom we owe the idea and the basic routine of this wonderful classic. I obviously used this base to make something a little different. Those who know the original will surely enjoy this new version created by me in April 90. For a long time, I let this little routine (jealously kept secret by the magic intelligentsia) "sleep". A first draft came to me in 1977, but it was of little interest. In 1983, I reworked on a concept requiring the idea of the DRUNKARD POKER. These 2 versions 77 and 83 allowed me to arrive at The Drunkard poker as it has remained since.  

A very clever Ace Assembly followed by some interesting poker tips! And the finale is very unexpected.  

A beautiful exercise in style coupled with a very strong impact on the public. A dream for a magician such as yourself! Here's the effect: thanks to your infallible powers, you are able to cut, on demand, one, two, three cards off the top of the deck, just "just by estimating"! You end up by cutting thirteen cards that turn out to be the thirteen spades!  

If you like to play cards and at the same time you're a magician, then sparks fly!  

Coming out of an ordinary deck of cards, four cards (1, 2, 3 and 4 of diamonds) change in full view into a Royal Straight Flush with spades…
