Chapter Three: Popular Handlings

The Trick Question (Gemini Count Handling)

The Gemini Count, invented by Brother John Hamman, is an excellent way to perform Dr Daley’s Last Trick. Hamman uses it in several clever packet effects, including “The Pinochle Trick” and “The Twins”. Many top-flight magicians consider the latter to be the most entertaining packet trick that you can perform with four playing cards. (This trick is sometimes erroneously referred to as “Gemini Twins”, which is actually a full-pack trick published by Karl Fulves).

Daryl, the Magician’s Magician, popularised the use of the Gemini Count as an efficient way of performing “The Last Trick of Dr. Jacob Daley”. His presentation is called “The Trick Question”.
