I should add...you have THE best tutorials. I am 70+ years old and have been doing magic for a long time. I've seen lots but few as good as you when it comes to teaching. Kudos.
Very nice I do the same thing with blank stock paper and sometimes I use number cards to make sure the cards are in the right order if it is a mathematical trick as well. Thanks for taking the time on this to figure it out. And like you I can not stand when the cards are spread out in the hands like that. Great channel & hope you can show a few tricks that can be used standing or in a parlor situation.
WOW..... what a great vidio TM. How you disected the trick was amazing. At first I thought, this is moving way to slow. But as it went on, It was brilliant how you worked it out. Must have taken hours to build those gaffs. Great vidio TM.
Absolutely very well done tutorial. It is always a pleasure to watch you. For me you are definitely the best on UA-cam. A happy and healthy new year to you and hopefully many more tutorials. For me always an inspiration. Best regards from good old Germany / Bavaria
Dude this is absolutely Amazing. What an idea! I’ve never seen anything quite like it. The total deconstruction and explanation of a “real” magic - card - trick. Of course I’ve seen “reveals” of magic effects, like “revels” of tricks on P&T Fool Us - by one famous channel in particular - but this deconstruction and reverse-engineering of one card trick is truly refreshing, new, and unique. Mate, you could make this into something special! Please do more, and try to “protect” this format. It is new, innovative, and frank;y awesome. What a great idea and approach!!!! 👍🍻🇬🇧
@@totallymagic I will! Trust me. I do a lot of card tricks; I’ve seen a lot of “reveal” channels, but your format is unique and different. Grow it, guard it, and IMHO you are on to a super format. Grow it and guard it, my friend….. 👍
Great stuff right down to committing to physically building the trick at the end and the great performance at the end. And you’re doing it all in a haunted house.😂 I agree with you in absolutely hating holding a spread like the Jacks. It’s an absolute giveaway. What saves this trick is the multiple types of gimmick in play.
That was an excellent back engineering of a good trick and you should do more! It throws a new perspective on the construction of a great trick.It shows that with just a few cards you can turn an ordinary trick into a miracle. The same kind of effect can be done with ordinary cards also as in the effect THANKS TO WALTON by Cameron Francis with a couple of elmsley counts where you end clean IN THE PDF let’s get small.
Great Vid and a big thank you. I had some cards kicking around that I bought in Poundland (2 decks for £1). They are a bit thinner than Wadd's or Bicycles, I found them to be just right to make these.
I think the thinner the better otherwise they get a little bulky when sticking those Jacks on the reverse. If I was doing this for keeps then i'd probably try and split the cards to make them thinner.
Look at you - brilliant! Superior logic that cuts to underbelly -trial error Victorious! Might you be an Aquarius? Known for their ingenious approach to a problem - Cheers 🌟
Well done mate. You cracked it. Don’t know if it’s my age but that was making me head hurt but at the end I got it. I’ll definitely be trying this one.
Superb tutroial! I like how you very systematically reverse engineered it, very scientific. : ) I wonder if the suspicious handling of the 2 stacks cold be improved with some rough/smooth or balm, so you could spread more naturally with one hand. Maybe with the fake jacks glued more fan-wise, not parallel. Then add some distraction from the 180° turning, like casually putting the stack down sideways, do some stuff and grab it with the other hand or so. It would be even more convincing, I assume. But the normal spectator probably won't notice and will be blown away anyway. : D It is a great trick, thanks for all your videos!
Ha ha, thought about my comment today and realised the idea of gluing the jacks fanned of course wouldn't work at all. 🤦 Using some roughing to make the handling easier might still be a good idea.
That was a great video! You could also think of doing a video on how to build the gaff cards. Are you simply stacking and gluing multiple cards? Is this not getting the cards too bulky?
YOu are right, if you stick multiple cards on the back of another it does make the fake card much thicker. If I was making this trick for performance I would have "split" the cards to make them thin, then stuck them. Alternatively, use cards from Phoenix who sell super waffer thin cards.
@@totallymagic Sure... but I am wondering if you would still stack multiple layers or not. Let me explain: I do know that for some effect you are provided with a gaff card that seems a stack of multiple card (either back or faces). However, this kind of gaff is printed and in the end it is a single card (and this also means that the thickness is the same along all the card). Instead if really stack multiple cards or even multiple layers by splitting cards, the results will still be a card with a thickness not uniform along the whole card. Is that correct? In your experience, is it possible to avoid it? I do know that for some gaffs (e.g., cards with vertical, horizontal or diagonal splits) people split the card removing only partially the layer and do the same on a second card and mix in this way the layers. However, in this case you should really cut the layer along the corner of the cards... is it doable? Don't know my comment makes sense to you :))) But thanks anyway!
I wish a trick like that existed where u can remove all the gimmicks in front of the spectators and give them the cards immediately to examine. I know u can achieve that effect by putting the cards in your pocket and making a swap, but it would be great if you didn't have to do that.
one of the best vids
Great job
Very EXCELLENT, as always!
"MEOW!" to L&L! 😺💖😺

Thank you Peter for the comments. I may do ok with the tutorials just wish I had some of the handling skills some youtuber magicians have!!! LoL
I agree with the whole of your analysis. Very well done!
Very good thinking.

Really cool!!!!👏👏👏 It's a great tutorial!!! Many thanks!!! A huge hug from Argentina
really cool way to deconstruct a trick :)
Well done! Appreciate the time you took to figure it out. Nice effect
Excellent reverse card trickery ..great stuff !!

Thank you for your kind words. I've done another one last year, check the link in description. Cheers

This is fantastic 👏 👌 🙌
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing! I love seeing how you deconstruct the tricks.
Fascinating watching your brain work. More of these please.

Thanks Glenn for the heads up on the Cameron trick.
Really great video & very interesting seeing your thought processes as to how the trick was done! 👍
Excellent stuff
Nice!
Superb upload! and some damn good reverse engineering. Well done Mark!
Have have this and you sir did a great job re-creating it
Thank you

lmao i always think the same thing about that packet hold. "dont worry guys totally natural, totally not trying to hide anything under here" 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I came up with a Victor Superanto that did the video.
Thank you.
No problem Mark, anytime.
well done. Looks like you're in prison. Are those bars on the window?
LoL, its ok, I know a trick on how to escape!!!!
