Wonderful to see - thanks a lot. Scarne used to come visit my mother's house in the late '20s and 1930s. He was friends with my grandfather and used to teach him card tricks and such. How I wish I could have seen The Great One in person!
I saw John Scarne in person.. He was a friend of my dad's. He did tricks for me at a table in my dad's restaurant in Union City. My dad, Larry Klunck, accompanied him to London and Curacao check casinos there. The Hilton in London... He came to my dad's wake..
Wow. It's been a tough year and a hard day, but you just made my year when I found this little gem of a video! Prestidigitation! I love it, thank you. And Happy New Year!
During WW2, the US Army hired John Scarne to tour military bases and show GI's how NOT to be cheated. My Dad met him at one such tour. Scarne could shuffle the deck and deal himself (or anyone else) four aces or four kings, then shuffle the deck and deal himself blackjack, at will. His motto was "If I can do it, so can anyone else, and you'd never know it. So don't play cards, and you won't be cheated." I've read a few of his books. John Scarne was a great magician, and a great man.
read his book probably 50 yrs ago.remember to this day a trick he did in the book.something like pick me out 5 cards,put back in deck&shuffle. john takes the whole deck&throws it at a window&the 5 cards stick,the rest fall to the floor.great trick huh,better yet the 5 cards were on outside of window.would love to find that book &reread
You can find it in "revelation" by Dai Vernon op page 363 under the title "perfect the good". In the text it says that Robert-Houdin called it the "Pass Stroke" in his book "The Sharper Detected and Exposed".
Great pull from the archives! Does anyone know what the trick is called where he places one card under the glass, one card on top, then when he reveals them they have switched (seemingly impossibly) ?
The deck can be examined if you have palmed the duplicated Ace. But the way of using it can vary. If you place the duplicated Ace on bottom, then, after showing the QC on top, you put on table the AC by mean of a bottom dealing. After that you do a double turnover to show the other AC and on top of the glass you put the QC. But easier is to have all the cards on top and only using double lift and double turnover.
I perform this with 2 identical jokers then you can have the deck examined. In fact you can cull the jokers to the top while you're showing the cards. If you reveal you cheated you can then go into a 3 card monte with 2 jokers.
@@kingrobert1st that's a brilliant idea you came up with about using two identical joker's instead of a duplicate ace, number or court card so you can jump into a 3 card Monte routine in case you get caught culling the joker's. Thank you for sharing these tips and I hope you have a wonderful day. ✌️😎👍
It's not just double lifts. How the hell does he manage to control the aces and Queens (which are all over the deck BTW) to the top and in perfect order to allow him to execute double lifts to perform the effect?
Thanks for this video, he was my great uncle and my dad became a magician following in his footsteps. This is a familial treasure
😮

The effect that begins at 3:53 is outstanding!
His push-through is incredible
I love how the narrator says "It's easy to do!" Not!
He says that it is easy to learn.
"It can EASILY be mastered."
Lol, sure bud
I love the music that accompanies this!
He worked on the movie The Sting with Newman and Redford
He was just brilliant
Scarne on card tricks was one of my first magic books as a ten year old magician. I probably wasn't qualified to study it until I was 20 though.
One of the best.
One of the great pioneers of card magic!
It was John Scarne's hands doing the false cuts and double dealing in the movie The Sting, not Paul Newman.
Brilliant, just brilliant! Thank you!
This dude just fooled me with a dub lift in the middle of already blowing my mind. How the hell have I not heard of his guy?
I didn't know that there was footage of Scarne. This is the guy who invented card magic.
Sleight of hand master

That push through!
Holy shit this is actually so good
Thanks for uploading this.
Incredible talent
moral lesson: don't gamble with a pro magician
This classic magic
Reading Ian Fleming’s 007 novel “Moonraker”. In it he mentions “Scarne on Cards” book. Never heard of it until now.
Absolute legend. 10/10.
he wrote a book in the 60's(s) i think it was scarne on cards, the hippopatomus story was hilarious. Not just about cards..
'He's mastered every card 13 spades remain on the top of the deck' Interesting editing.

I have a number of his books. Great magician and mathematician but he was never a gambler.
That false table cut is dope
2:23 what’s the name of this move??

I got the book Scarne On Cards XD
HulkVahkiin I was looking through an old book store and snagged one for me.
I'm in the market for a new book on cards. Did you find it useful?
Please disable the auto-stabilization which ruins this classic film.
wow fantastic!!!!
wow, that double
Ek number
2:14 promemoria
Good
Great pull from the archives!
Does anyone know what the trick is called where he places one card under the glass, one card on top, then when he reveals them they have switched (seemingly impossibly) ?
He uses two Ace of Clubs (and double turnover of course).

Ah, so the deck is not examinable for this trick. :[
If that is truly the method used, thanks.
The deck can be examined if you have palmed the duplicated Ace. But the way of using it can vary. If you place the duplicated Ace on bottom, then, after showing the QC on top, you put on table the AC by mean of a bottom dealing. After that you do a double turnover to show the other AC and on top of the glass you put the QC. But easier is to have all the cards on top and only using double lift and double turnover.

Modern 3llusion double lifts bro
It's not just double lifts. How the hell does he manage to control the aces and Queens (which are all over the deck BTW) to the top and in perfect order to allow him to execute double lifts to perform the effect?
@@moosehak ikr It's inconceivable to me to perform that trick without strippers or crimp thing
@@passecompose7484 has to be a stripper
4:48 how to do ?
Daniel Madison double lift?
The narrator voice hurts my ears haha!
★★★★★
