The Magic



This deal was played by the Brazilian magician Gabriel Chagas. He realised that he had to cash four heart tricks, so that he could discard a club from the dummy. Then, he could ruff a club loser in the dummy. Yet, that meant finding the opponent with four hearts also holding three trumps.

The play went like this: He won the trump lead with the ♠10 and ducked a club. He won the club return, cashed the ♠A and K, played a heart to dummy’s A, then finesse the 10. When that worked and West didn’t ruff, Chagas played off the Q, discarding dummy’s last club, ruffed his remaining club in dummy and claimed. 

When the kibitzers enjoy your performance that is doing magic, it’s a great feeling!
