The best video teaching I’ve seen on the bottom deal, thank you Jason!
UK • Dec 28th, 2022To be honest, this a very hard move. It took me a lengthy time to get it; however believe me as soon as you get it, it is one of the most effective moves you will ever use!
USA • Aug 5th, 2022Jason England's detailed instruction on the Bottom Deal goes beyond any video tutorial I've ever seen. I'd struggled with the Erdnase grip for two decades and had tried to create my own grip without success. After watching this video, my technique is improving rapidly. If you're struggling with the Bottom Deal, then I recommend this video. You won't find anything as good as this on YouTube or anywhere else. Learn from a master. The price is too good to pass up. And thanks to Jason England for taking the time to share his knowledge.
England • Jul 30th, 2021Reading some of the reviews I was under the impression I was paying $15.00 for a 30 minute video. Being familiar with Jason’s incredible ability to teach I thought it was a steal of a deal. I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed this was a 2.0 version! It’s at least 90 minutes long vs the original 30. Jason mentions they did it over not because the techniques have changed but because he got better at teaching it. That’s amazing in this day and age. Much respect to him and Theory11.
East Coast • May 30th, 2021Well delivered - succinctly presented by an expert practitioner and easy to follow. Feel like it’s reasonable value for money. Has an intimate feel like being alongside him in the room. Very pleased
Cardiff, U.K. • Feb 1st, 2021i was struggling for a while trying to release the bottom card and with the grip for the bottom deal. a day after watching this video I can do it. (release a card with ease) not a perfect bottom deal. but the part i was getting so frustrated with. worth every penny if you want to learn the bottom deal. buy this
uk • Jan 6th, 2021I have struggled with the bottom deal for a long time. The way Jason England teaches it and talks about it helps so much. I still have lots of practice to do but this really helped me find the grip that’s comfortable for me and the subtleties he teaches help a lot . If you want to bottom deal or just want tips to clean it up then you need to buy this . Great tutorial, I loved it.
Ontario Canada • Nov 11th, 2020Very well explained by Jason England! Easy to understand and some really great tips on the different grips, takes and other important things to think about. Close to a complete and all-around experience. Only thing better would have been, sitting in front of him in person.
Sweden • Jul 23rd, 2020This is by far one of the greatest instructional videos that have ever been produced. The amount of detail and instruction that Jason England provides you with is unbelievable. You do not only learn so many variations of the bottom deal to fit your needs and hands, but you also get extra tips that will refine your bottom deal if you already prefer a method of it. This video can and will accelerate the learning progress of your bottom deal and will also improve it. Such a difficult sleight of hand was never so easy to learn until this video came out!
. • Jun 27th, 2020I'm gonna be really honest in here. I suck at both bottom deals and second deals. I always thought that I didn't need to buy DVDs on second or bottom deals since I already have the books that teach this already. But boy let me tell you, this is something else. This would really REALLY help you out in doing the bottom deal right in front of your spectators.
Dubai • Dec 10th, 2019As a professional card mechanic with over 30 years experience...I rank Jason England's bottom deal tutorial among the top of the top. In fact... it is the top. there are currently none better on the market!
Centralia, Illinois • Jan 7th, 2019A great tutorial on a difficult move. Jason breaks it down and helps you learn it the right way. It'll take some time but it is totally worth it.
United States • Dec 5th, 2018One of the best tutorials on such a difficult move. He offers many hand positions for every type of person. Given the depth that Jason gets into, the price is a steal.
Chicago • Sep 27th, 2018Jason England's technique is flawless. I bought his Foundations DVD containing work on the bottom deal about two or three years ago. So my review is comparing this download to that DVD. This tutorial is a repeat of a lot of the information from the Foundations bottom deal tutorial. It follows, generally, the same teaching format. But there is some new stuff on this. For example, Jason demonstrates each of the bottom deals he teaches significantly more than he did in the Foundations series, which is a needed, welcome, and substantial improvement. He also goes over the top card push-off, and how to align it with the card on the bottom, in more detail; this, too, is a significant improvement over his original tutorial in the Foundations series. Jason also teaches Marlo's cigar bottom deal, which it interesting and shows that Jason does his research. In sum, this release does not contain a bunch of new material on the bottom deal for those owning the Foundations DVD, but is nonetheless a significant improvement over Jason's last bottom deal tutorial. And, of course, because Jason England is the teacher in both, both are excellent. I have bought everything he has put out, with one exception.
San Francisco, California • Feb 5th, 2018This is probably the best and most effective move out there that came from the gambling table. If you ever saw anything from Jason England, you know it is gonna be a good one. The tutorial is straight forward and easy to follow. There is more than one method that he goes over in this video with a brief history for each move. Even though I should mention that the move itself is pretty difficult. This tutorial is probably the best out there for it but if you wanna learn this move, you still have a lot to look forward to. Still if you wanna learn it, don't miss this video. Hopefully this review helped.
Iran • Jan 16th, 2018Jason is one of the best if not the best card technicians alive. He's a wonderful teacher and his instruction here is no exception. Very insightful and honest. 5 Stars all the way.
NJ • Oct 29th, 2017The updated (2017) filming is fantastic! There are a few new tips and subtleties added in as well. Jason's instructions could not be clearer and quick to the point. I was expecting to have to purchase this again, however was pleasantly surprised when I looked in my videos and found that the old one was NOW updated. FANTASTIC customer service on Theory11's part! If you have not watched the instruction on the bottom deal in a while, now is the time to re-watch it and get re-inspired by Jason's smooth execution of such a legendary technique.
Nashville, TN • Jul 22nd, 2017I had seen version 1.0 (in its Foundations DVD), which was only 30 minutes long. This version is really more detailed. So far, I've never seen better Bottom Deal tutorials. I have all of Jason's videos, and I have never been disappointed with his teaching. Once again, Jason has lived up to my expectations.
France • Jan 7th, 2016Really excellent video. I was having a lot of trouble with the classic Erdnase grip, and in five minutes, Jason cleared it up for me. It's still a really hard move, and will take a LOT of practice, but this is an awesome resource to help get you there.
US • Dec 18th, 2015The bottom deal is without question one of my favorite gambling moves of all time. This move will take years of practice to get down right. Jason goes over different grips for the bottom deal so you will find a grip that best suites you.
Ireland • Nov 22nd, 2015Jason England begins by describing the Erdnase Grip of the bottom deal, along with two modifications of this original grip which can be found in The Expert at the Card Table. Following this Jason England teaches his current bottom deal based on the Mechanics Grip. He tells you the pros and cons of these different grips. If you already are accustomed to Jason England's style of teaching you will know what to expect. Finally he lists off several sources for different grips. This is not an easy move so don't expect to watch this video and come out a master bottom dealer. As he mentions in the video 5 minutes will do nothing , 5 months you will be a proficient bottom dealer, and 5 years you can be the best. Definitely recommended for those with an interest in tackling the bottom deal.
Clayton, NY • Aug 3rd, 2015Wow, this download was insightful! Jason England teaches this in extreme detail with a variety of methods to deal cards from the bottom. A very high quality download with high quality material.
United Kingdom • Nov 24th, 2013Mr. England describes the Bottom Deal perfectly in this promo video. It is an intensely rewarding move to be able to perform. It is a move that will teach you discipline as well as respect for a deck of cards. In a half an hour, Jason England demystifies a move that I use CONSTANTLY. It's not only incredibly impressive, but it's also wicked fun to practice. For fifteen dollars, it's totally worth it!
New York • May 6th, 2013This is no doubt one of the most difficult card moves to master, but JE explains everything in intricate detail and gives some nice variations on the classic bottom deal. I believe this is a must have!
England • May 3rd, 2013One of the more difficult, and rewarding moves you can bring to the table! There are plenty of places to find tutorials on this, but Jason is a master and it's worth every penny to learn from somebody who has the training, reading, and years of experience. This is a MUST HAVE download and will be one of your greatest accomplishments once mastered. Again... MUST HAVE!
Montana • Apr 26th, 2013To be honest, this a very difficult move. It took me a long time to get it; but trust me once you get it, it is one of the most powerful moves you will ever use!
Canada • Mar 9th, 2013In this Jason England teaches the bottom deal from four grips; Erdnase, two modifications and mechanic's grip. This gives a gook idea of the evolution of the bottom deal, along with the option to choose your favorite. His bottom deal is almost flawless (almost because there is no such thing as a perfect false deal). He also teaches a stud-style bottom deal which blows me away every time. He also pre-empts the common pitfalls when learning the move to speed up the process. I could already bottom deal acceptably when I got this as part of Foundations but I still learned a huge amount.
London • Feb 28th, 2013If you're here, you probably don't need telling about the bottom deal, it's versatility and all that. It's not quite as hard as some of the other false deals, but an excellent way to start gambling sleights. It doesn't matter who you are, if you want to learn the bottom deal, get this video. Excellent teaching, and like with every one of his videos he goes over all of the original sources and publications that he can find.
Australia • Sep 22nd, 2012You must buy this! :D Very helpful indeed. :)
Staro Petrovo Selo, Croatia • May 2nd, 2012Just bought it and downloading it now. Just wish it was a bit cheaper-like a $12.95 trick, but still worth it!
