Not to take anything away from the defense, I can't help but feel declarer should never have given them the opportunity in the first place. If he leads a low spade without cashing the ace, playing the jack gives the slam away on the spot. Now after West wins the king, declarer can cash the A and A before ruffing in hand to ruff a spade to guard against West starting with Kx.

Great play!,

The way I think some of this falsecards is to realice that the jack is dead as declarer will pay the 10 and then jack is going to be revealed, so in essence you are just playing the "card you are known to hold" instead of the unknown, the low one. Same principle would be to play King from KJx when declarer is going to finesse the queen.

True as the cards were dealt.
But what if East has 5 spades and 2 clubs?
Now your suggestion would not look so clever.

Is that really more likely than East having 2 spades and JTx or singleton (or xx assuming you play restricted choice) clubs? And that's ignoring the falsecard possibility in the OP.

Please Note. 3 Players on the table have represented their country in Bermuda Bowl. Arvind Vaidya ( FIGO on BBO ) has not, so his quick thinking deception definitely deserves appreciation.
