Description: The 654 Club Deck A new collectible deck and an excellent working deck. (1) Deck included, NO Instructions for "Sam the Bellhop" are included. In the book "The Final Word on Cards" by Rufus Steele there was an entry titled "Sam & Moe" (author unknown). This was a stunt in which the magician tells a story while turning over cards from the deck, the cards matching the words in the narrative. It was not really a trick but an amusing interlude such as "Troublewit" or "Rocky the Raccoon" In other words, it was not supposed to fool anybody and it was not a new idea. In fact, other story routines such as "Jack goes to Town", as published in "Scarne on Card Tricks", were already in the literature. Bill Malone learned the Sam the Bellhop story and stack as shown to him by Mike Pappas of Chicago and he immediately added expert blind shuffles and cuts to it, thereby making magic out of an amusing vignette. That was a new idea! Over the years, he refined it and it became his signature piece. Eventually he was asked to perform it on the November '94 TV show, "World Greatest Magic." His electrifying performance on this show was destined to open golden doors of opportunity. The 654 Club Deck. Highest quality cards made for real card workers! Made by the United States Playing Card Company! Each deck has been traditionally cut which means they handle perfectly. Designed by Bill Malone and Charlie Frye. Note: Upon opening, cut the 3S to the bottom and the cards are now in order to tell the tale of "Sam the Bellhop"!
