Hello and welcome to FASDIU
Enterprises. FASDIU is an acronym for "from a shuffled deck in use,"
the title of my first set of lecture notes. Those notes (and the FASDIU
II notes that followed) feature magical routines with playing cards
that may be performed with any deck, anytime - no complicated set-ups,
gaffed cards, or memorized decks. It's not that I'm opposed to the use
of large set-ups, gaffs, or memorization. I'll use those methods in a
New York minute with no regrets! However, 99% of the card magic I
perform is spectator-interactive and I'm loathe to hand my audience a
deck that contains a stack that I want to preserve or a gaff . So, many
years ago I began using and constructing powerful and/or entertaining
routines that may be performed with a borrowed, shuffled deck. I use
almost all of the routines in the ...from a shuffled deck in use... and
FASDIU II notes in social settings, from behind the bar, at trade
shows, while strolling, and in more formal close-up shows. Of course, I
would invite you to do the same!
