Gemini Count is a false count with cards showing four cards, when in fact, you only show two that was developed by Brother John Hamman in 1983.
It was first published in "Richard's Almanac" Bro. Hamman one man issue issue in October 1983 along with The Pinochle Trick and again in The Secrets Of Bro. Hamman book by Richard Kaufman (1989)
Karl Fulves has claimed, in "Epilogue", that he had a handling of a two as four count in print prior to Brother Hamman and had shown it to him. Brother John had no recollection whatsoever of having seen or read Fulves' count. He was convinced that he came up with it on his own when asked.
Variations
- NO-BUCKLE GEMINI COUNT - an approach published by Jon Racherbaumer on his website to eliminate the buckle by using pushoffs.
- Gemini Count Alternative from "Bob White presents IT'S A MATTER OF STYLE" lecture notes.
