10 Card Poker deal presentation: In order to take some of the sting out of the 10 card poker deal (Jonah Card.) I like to play as the dealer while using two spectators to play head to head poker (usually husband and wife.) My shill (usually the wife) always wins. I use five phases from Darwin Ortiz' "Mexican Poker" routine.

Lie Speller Combo: You’ll have to connect the dots to put this worker to work for you… Here’s the basic idea: Combine Steinmeyer’s 9 Card Lie Speller (or another version, such as Dave Solomon’s 7 card rendition ) with another Lie Speller (such as Elmsley’s “Liars Club” or Nick Trost’s “Si-Stebbins Lie Speller.” ) So, the effect goes something like this: As you ask questions for the lie speller, you deal from the deck while your spec simultaneously deals from their packet (of 7 or 9 cards) . The piles you’ve dealt confirm the cards identity & To finish, the spec turns over the card on top of their packet to discover their selection.
