Gene Maze and The Art of Bottom Dealing - Stephen Hobbs

Traditionally, the bottom deal has been used primarily in countdown effects and gambling effects. Gene, however, prefers to emphasize routines that are magical in nature. He strongly believes that the audience should have no idea that any form of fall stealing is being employed. To be sure, there are several countdown effects included in this book, but with twists and subtleties that disguise the presence of the bottom deal. There are also a few routines that have a gambling theme, but they do not require that you simply deal the aces to yourself from the bottom of the deck.
