A Poker Story by Max Krause
(c. 2009) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Much, Much better than any 6 Card Repeat!
I was recently told about some great magic that Max Krause at Innovative Deceptions was producing and I was so impressed with his magic that he quickly became one of my featured dealers and inventors. It is rare that I find new material of this caliber and it certainly has me excited.
I’ll be reviewing a bunch of Max’s great magic so stay tuned.
Effect: This trick is really rather clever – at first glance you’ll think it’s just a version of Tommy Tucker’s Six Card Repeat. But if you dig a little deeper you’ll find a real gem. Firstly it has a very logical story line for why you are discarding different amounts of cards. Secondly, each time you discard you end up with better and better poker hands. Thirdly you consistently show the cards back and front to have blue backs. Finally, when you end up with the kicker climax of a straight flush the colors of the backs are now red.
The moves are easy and it the whole routine pretty much works itself. It will take some practice to set-up the trick and run through it, but there are no sleights and if you “invest” about an hour you’ll be golden.

This was my first surprise out of Max’s great line of magic, and there are many more to come.
Highly Recommended for performers everywhere!

Great card trick
Poker Story is a beautiful performance piece. The patter is well thought out and flows nicely. The props are well-constructed and easy to use. The handling is a piece of cake. And it has a nice kicker at the end. You’ll love doing this trick.
