Watch his left hand when it switches the cards around, if you slow it down you can see it is magic

I know how you did this. That may have been the cleanest control I've ever seen.

It's a great cheap Spray-on product to create a Rough & Smooth deck...pressure sensitive too.

I am not able to follow his commands like 'look at the cards' because I have to follow the words (he speaks too fast for me beeing foreign)

Definitely a trick deck. Evens are face up. Odds are face down.

Which part did you design? I've seen variations of this before. Old roommate was way into magic -was even a member of the local circle.

Likely just his handling of the plot. Magicians like to say they “created” something when “adapted” is probably a better term.

Now go fool penn and teller, because damn.

I'm guessing trick cards.

Tricky sticky

Incorrect. No stick. Only trick

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

That's pretty good. Good hands, nice movement, use a cooler?

I like where he magically puts them back on the table

It is a good trick. All you f's hating take a look in the mirror and log off social media for ever

Why does this guy look like he's on the verge of a heart attack? Do we need to call somebody? His dealer maybe?

from the thumbnail he looks like he's about to top himself after telling us his dark sob story.

4 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

Why? What about him looks like a heart attack is about to happen?

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

He looks a bit drugged out

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'm guessing he just spent 3 weeks non-stop perfecting that trick.

1: wtf he lloks fine what are you guys on about? 2: why are you not looking at the cards for a card trick?

Good on you. From the thumbnail I was… concerned. But his voice is rock steady.

I was thinking this, I've seen dudes come into the club full of coke that look chiller than this dude

3 possible reasons. Some magicians think an appearance that is slightly unsettling a adds to mystery. ( I disagree mostly) Or, he is nervous

Performing can be intimidating, and for many it’s a new experience performing for a camera and the internet. Last reason may be that’s just

How the dude looks and now you’ve made him feel bad.

Or that he stayed up all night learning a new card trick!

Tricks aren’t learned over night. This video is evidence of weeks if not months of practice and dedication

You gave it away by saying 'Nothing sticky' about that one card, which makes us suspect that 50% of the rest of the pack are 'sticky'. Easy

No Illusion there, just a Trick Deckand maybe a bit sleight of hand

4 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

I think the name of the pack is the Invisible Deck. Correct? I have a pack like this myself.

A big fat phony

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

He says nothing stick BECAUSE there is nothing sticky and that would be a common method for this effect.

Half the cards are slightly shorter than the other half. So when you flick through them, you'll only show the shorter ones.

Svengali Deck, but it's an impressive shuffle he does in the beginning.

And the faning is also cool

There's a gap between knowing how something like this works and actually executing it.

4 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

Absolutely. Can only be that good after thousands of hours of practising.

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I noticed that he showed the cards in two different ways to ‘prove’ they’d changed.

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Good trick. He used what's called a Svengali Deck, but in a very innovative way.

They're flipped back after the cut so only two cards are face down when putting them back together.

Zero cuts

The deck not the video.

Two cuts. :30 and :45

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 4

... after the deck is cut. I'm saying most of the cards are flipped back to the original direction prior to shuffling.

People think you meant the video, not the deck.

I'm aware. It's fine, English is an ambiguous language sometimes.
