  • This is my own version of the original Elevator card trick called Penetration by Ed Marlo, which was published in the 1940's. I removed the 4th card, simplified the moves, and added the PORTAL!! In-depth Details on all the moves.

    Despite knowing the secret, the presentation and performance are easily 80 percent of the whole trick.

      @@Cam-wm6eh if you don't practise of course it's hard... You gotta put in some time. Get a deck of cards, arrange in alternating red-black order then do a doublelift every time to get same colour. Do this many times with the entire deck to master strike doublelift

    Again. I love that you teach packet tricks. They are so underrated, under used, and under appreciated. It’s ridiculous too bc every layperson is always really into them if presented correctly. It’s almost as if subconsciously they believe it couldn’t be possible to do magic with 3-4 cards.

    So I know learning the secret of a magic trick usually takes the fun out of it... but honestly, I think I am equally impressed by how this is done as I was when it was done. I am now a firm believer that there is magic at a magic show... but it isn't the tricks, the magic is the magicians hands. I would think you have to practice this literally hundreds of times to get good enough at it to be the magicians you see on t.v.

    I always think that magicians are overestimating the secret parts of their tricks. The trick itself is cool but most people wonder about what happened while it's actually much more fascinating how these sleight of hands are done. Takes so much effort, practice and performance skills to pull even such a basic trick off

  • @ankitpatel5093
    @ankitpatel5093 5 років тому +5

    Amazing trick as usual! Hats off to you! The best part about all your card tricks is that you explain each and every step in a perfect way. Every little moves & holding the cards. And you kind of do that twice or thrice while explaining which is a kind of revision that helps to grasp easily. Waiting for more card tricks. More monte tricks (without gimmicks or special preparation) & I would love to learn the four ace production from you! Once again, thank you for this amazing trick 👏👍

      he spreads out the the 4 cards leaving 2 cards shown and a stack of 2 cards as the 3rd card. He then flips the 2 cards over in a way where it only shows it as 1 card. Then he flips it back and puts down the top card which is the 7 of spades

    • @edvindelkic9097
      @edvindelkic9097 5 років тому +8

    Nice trick thanks for demonstrating the double lift flourish. So many magicians do that part without teaching it.
    I quite like the idea of shoving the three in the middle and saying it got stuck between floors, let's bring it up! Then let them examine the deck.
    Also, if you get the three cards at the beginning by fetching them from the deck to its face, it makes it easier to add the dummy card issuing a pinky break.
