Using a complete pack of cards an entertaining story is told as the cards are mixed and dealt.
Such routines have been around for many years.
Monty the Spiv will take older magicians back years whilst Sam the Bellhop is very well known, mainly due to Bill Malone’s wonderful presentation.
This version by Peter Stedman has been used in his professional work for many years and was originally based on Monty the Spiv but entirely changed and reworked.
Peter originally published his story and handling in 1987 and this DVD has been revised bringing it up to date. The card handling is simplified and easily within the skills of the average chap. The story is British based rather than American as used in many versions.
