I Blind Tested 10 Decks of Cards So You Don't Have To
In todays video I put my playing card nerdiness to the test in the form of a blindfolded challenge - How many decks of cards can I correctly identify while blindfolded? Even I was surprised by the result.
This was honestly one of the most fun videos I've made for a while, so please tell me you like it so I can make more!
Special thanks to Andy for helping me out with this one, you're a legend.

    Hey Caleb I started a bit of a deck collection a few months ago when I was just looking for a decent deck to play with and I've always wanted to learn a few magic tricks to impress my mates with haha. Can you guide me to the right direction, as in where should I start? I like your videos, they've been informative and you have a calm delivery.

    • @iamcalebsimpson

      Hey! I honestly recommend starting on UA-cam. You can learn a few cool tricks for free, and there are some great easy ones out there. I actually teach the first trick I ever learned on my channel, which you can find in a playlist. If you find that you're interested and you want to continue, I highly recommend getting Card College Volume 1 and 2, which are designed to take you from a beginner to a fully fledged magician. Good luck! I hope you enjoy magic as much as I have

      You can find a lot of great cardistry tutorials on UA-cam, so what I’d recommend doing is watching some cardistry videos and finding moves that you want to do. Most of the time the names of the moves will be in the description of the video, and then you can hunt down a tutorial for it. Otherwise there are some great beginner cardistry videos on UA-cam which will teach you the basics before you move onto more difficult techniques. Good luck!

  • @terrystokes2948
    @terrystokes2948 14 днів тому

    Double Deck: Another excellent practice idea is to use a double deck whenever possible. If You practice shuffling, false shuffling etc. for one week with a double deck, when you switch back tp 52 cards... everything is much easier, better control, quicker and it looks better. It amazing when practicing the Faro shuffle. If you can Faro 100 cards ... 52 becomes a lot easier. You'll notice the difference after as little as 20-25 practice shuffles with the double deck... really improves accuracy (getting a perfect faro). Love your video!! This is stuff that people need to understand about becoming good at card handling.

    • @iamcalebsimpson

      @iamcalebsimpson Proper practice is probably the most important area when it comes to being proficient at card handling. I train athletes to become more skilled, faster etc. I just apply those skills to card handling and its worked really well. I just saw an ad for a "weighted deck"... That will be great for building speed and quickness just like the weighted basketballs I use for my basketball players. Ok sorry for the rant. Keep up the good work. You have great content on your channel.

    Turning difficult moves into a fidget move is a great idea. I realized that my fidget moves were really good but the second deal was an issue. So I turned it into a fidget move. You notice the difference within a week. Excellent advice. (You need to set it up so cards are not all over the place and easy to gather while watching TV... so i use a small box at my feet to deal the cards into).

      You might be missing the point a bit. Everyone has to figure out their own style - what personality or character suits them. But that decision is shaped by the people who influence us. At the end of the day all of us are the fusion of our life experiences and influences, no one can claim to be completely original.
