Roll hard into any performance or session with these seriously deceptive and useful techniques from a real-world performer and session assassin. Steve Reynolds shares some of his most closely guarded sleights, moves, and strategies in the first book in a Six Part series on his Card Technique and Finesse.

EPIPHANY SHUFFLE
Meditate on this one. Give the deck one riffle shuffle. No strip-outs, push-throughs, Zarrow Shuffles. The spectators see the deck being squared and yet a 26 card stack has been retained. Great for use with Half-Mem Deck Work.
REAL-TIME SIDE STEALS
Learn Steve's fast and furious Side Steal Work. The deck is squared, the card is palmed. Cardman Chop!
FAR – OUT FAKE OUT CONTROL
This is a blind side and bold technique. Before they know it, they've been ambushed.
COVER COUNT
Secretly obtain a break above any number of cards in a quick and natural way without exposing your week spot (i.e. reversed cards, odd-backed cards, etc).
CLICK SWITCH/YOUR FAVORITE MY FAVORITE
Another fast-action technique that allows you to quickly switch one set of cards for another as they are removed from the deck. No need to go back to the deck with this one. It's over before it starts.
BOX LOAD
Another, "Go practice falling on the ground till I get out there" technique. A signed card appears in the card box without palming. You'll add this one to the arsenal right away.
