1. The Affas Gaffas Cut by Frank Garcia
   A triple packet cut that allows you to fairly and slowly collect each packet up.
2. The Marnase Cut by Ed Marlo and S.W. Erdnase
   A practical and straightforward false cut that uses a similar retention-of-vision to the Mel Stover/Winnipeg Cut taught on the Cold Deck Cut Project but done on the table.
3. The Multiple False Cut by Dai Vernon
   A strip-cut style cut from Dai Vernon with several subtleties that add to the visual complexity of the cut and the convincingness.
4. The Hustlers Triple Cut by Darwin Ortiz
   A simplified version of the Vernon ‘Multiple False Cut’ from Darwin Ortiz’s annotated Erdnase included for completeness of the discussion.
5. The To the Table Cut by Larry Jennings
   An initial handling of the “swing cut”, which does the swing as a hidden action that is used to set up the cut. Eddie adds his touch of this inspired by Gordon Bruce.

Each cut is demonstrated and taught from multiple angles and broken down so that you can follow each of the moves. These cuts are excellent to follow a false shuffle with to complete your “mixing” of the cards.

Running-time: 31 minutes.
