"Alright everybody, let me show you how to do the cool all alike trick. A lot of little booklets on svangali decks and stuff are going to have you doing this trick right away. I want it to wait a little bit because I wanted to get you used to handling and that kind of thing before you just go blowing peoples eyes out with this stuff. Basically, we're going to have our card selected and you can use the dribble method. Now, because of the way the svengali deck works again, I showed you about cutting where you cut like this and the card always ends up on top. If you cut with the faces up and you cut, you're always going to get again the card what is the top physically and you'll get one of the force cards on the face. Now, using the principal I just showed you, if we now flip these cards they all look the same, or if we dribble them, which looks really cool, they all look the same. The way that we put this together into a trick is we have the card selected. There it is. Then we turn this way, we cut, we tell them well you know it was kind of easy to cut to your card because they're all the same. This is a pretty amazing trick to people because they just saw a deck full of cards that was different. Don't worry about having those nice and even. If a few extra queen show that helps the trick a little bit. Now, we can get it back to normal two ways. We can either move this card to the back and flip the deck over, or you can just flip the deck over and cut it and that's going to bring one of the odd cards to the bottom, and then you can show them normal again. I'll give you one more quick review. Card selected just like that. We'll turn it this way. We can either cut like this or just move this card to face. It's better though if you cut it like this, bring their card just like that. Say look I cut to your card. They're all the same. If I tried to play poker with a deck like this they'd get upset with me. We'll give them a little shake and bring them back to normal and nobody will know the difference. You also have the little added benefit if you flip through here. Now, the queen of clubs is completely gone. None of them should show up at all. Later on I'll show you how to combine that with another idea and you can do that as a trick. That's how to do the all alike trick with the svengali deck."
