Quick, insert some discussion comment like 'How do you think this guy does it' in the first post before MP sees it. They randomly erase posts with 1 line and a link.

You mean a cheat with the camera? Certainly possible.

I was being a little tongue in cheek there, Lukster...   :)   I actually think it is just some good slight of hand with special cards.

Often hard to tell in video and text about tricks and tongues. ;)

Amazing Card Trick


Mechanically this is a tough trick. You've got to be able to handle the cards real well.

Some things to notice, the 4 kings he shows you are actualy only 2. Secondly why doesn't he ever show you all the cards face up? Because well... duh.. theres 4 different cards he's just shuffling around real well. Which is the whole trick. He's able to deceive you with how he handles the cards. Fun trick.. again hard to do for a beginner because it takes some pretty good card skills.

Go rent the DVD "Spade" its a poker movie about "fixing" the deck. In the DVD they've got some extra features which go on to explain some of the tricks. On top of it being a great movie that is.

Easy trick.  He is simply moving the cards with both hands.  Watch his  fingers on the left hand.  They are moving in and out whenever a card "magically" appears.  Also watch his left hand index finger - it occasionally moves over the top card which keeps it in place so he can deal off the bottom.  Besides the practiced dexterity, the key to this trick is having new flat and slippery cards along with a little extra grip on the fingers tips.  This guy is pretty good and has spent a lot of time with his presentation.
