![]() ![]() I think this kind of unnatural hand posture and movement followed by more relaxed positioning might draw attention to itself at the card table. Once the cards are switched out his mucking hand relaxes for further peaks. ![]() His handling is somewhat stiff and the shape of his hand is unnatural at the point of the switch. To understand this more clearly, its’ worth looking at the way Jeff mucks in two cards at the beginning of 'Live Game Play'. A number of the moves that Jeff demonstrates are just that, a bit 'movie'. However, from a purely cardsharking point of view there are some issues to take note of. ![]() I also liked Jeff's straightforward no nonsense approach to dealing seconds and I particularly liked some of his riffle stacking ideas. My personal favourites are the hand mucking and cold decking sections that include moves from George Joseph's Hand Mucking manuscript and the cold deck method from the movie 'The Sting'. There are a wealth of great moves demonstrated on this DVD that will aid magicians in acquiring the necessary skills to present believable and killer gambling routines. Now from the performance point of view, I sense that Jeff is coming at this mainly from the perspective of the magician. Within each category between 3 and 10 specific moves are taught totalling about 49 moves in all. Personally, I would have liked 'Live Play' to get even closer to true game conditions with Wess cheating 'under fire' as it were without the knowledge of the other players. The last is an interesting idea designed to show how the different moves might be choreographed and executed in a true home game situation. The main menu outlines nine different categories, False Shuffles, False Cuts, Stacking, Hopping the Deck, Glimpses, False Dealing, Mucking, Deck Switches and Live Game Play. The moves are all laid out in a very accessible manner. Jeff was still 20 years old when he made this DVD. For those unfamiliar with the DVD, this is a production from the young, serious and horribly talented magician Jeff Wessmiller.
