**psst** Are you enjoying Scam School? You've gotta check out our *brand-new series* "The Modern Rogue" at ua-cam.com/users/modernrogue. If you've seen it, reply and tell me what you think. If not, then get on over there. I'll bet you a dollar you love it. -Brian
I love how Brian directed her to put the card back, "Face down anywhere." and when she does he goes, "Oh, we need that to be face up." kind of like saying oh sorry my mistake, here I will correct that... all just to cover the trick. Love how simple and clean this is!
This would be really fun to do with the barcode on the back of the deck box. I checked a few in my home and found that they all actually have the same setup. There's a break in the middle with five digits on either side.
this is by far my favorite trick. I've used it on dozens of people and no one has any idea how it's done. I love the delayed reaction that I get when people are putting it all together and realize it's in the right place. thanks for sharing this
Hey Brian!! I have always loved magic tricks but I never thought I can do them until I was just surfing through the net and accidentally landed on one of your videos, BTW I have performed few of your tricks with family and friends and you've made me look like a star.. But Seriously I have become your fan for the following reasons: 1. first of all the way you present your videos is very energetic and funny which makes us not get bored at any moment of the video 2. the detailed explanation you give for each of the trick 3. the way you mention the odd scenarios which a person might face while performing the trick and also you tell us what to do in that case, just makes people love you more ;-) 4. I personally like the self working or very little setup tricks, which you have lots in your channel Overall I have to say your channel is the best so far I have come across. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and hoping to see more of the easier card tricks :-) Sorry for the long comment which I know might be looking like a kid writing an essay point wise :-P but this is the best I could describe.. So thank you once again. :-)
@scamschool I have used so many of your tricks on my friends and family that they are all convinced I'm some secret mater magician. Thank you! I'll be trying this one out asap.
Doing this stuff for people who could care less in the first place has always been your biggest mistake. Seriously, you should vet your participants better. It's not you, it's your participants. If you were doing this with me -- someone who is already mildly interested in this kind of thing -- you'd have someone who was all like, "Wow, that is so cool! Thanks for teaching me that, so awesome!" Pulling some completely random people out of a Starbucks or whatever just isn't doing it for me. Love what ya do, hate who you do it for. They almost always suck.
Most people don't switch so many times a performer will ask them if they want to change just to give the appearance that they have a choice. If the person then decides to change it can mess up some performers or give you another look at how they are deceiving you. Plus, sometimes changing your pick gives you better odds at winning. Search "Monty Hall problem" on youtube.
Bunker Buster when you do something to a magician to mess him up intentionally, its kinda rude. kinda like speaking out when a stand up comedian performs. I'd suggest not doing it when its just a magic trick performance.
True, but when a magician asks you to choose, you try to choose, when the magician asks you if you want to change the choice, it is their trap. If you choose to change it, don't worry it will make the trick more convincing. usually the force is in the handling of the crowd, not the handling of the cards. A magician should never offer anything they are not prepared to deal with.
That would ruin the trick. However, I am sure that 99.99% of the time the common person would assume that the card will be faced face down with the rest of the card (magicians always say, "don't let me what card it is.")
The only thing I can think of to do would be to say one or the other, and then correct yourself in such a way where it seems completely accidental and spontaneous. It might appear unprofessional, but I can't think of anything else.
Eugene Thong what most magitions would do is have a back up trick that they would switch to and do instead. or you can say it doesnt matter, then say oops I lied, it does, you need to put it in face up
Well actually i'm still learning English considering it's not my first or second language. What about you ? Probably you don't even know the arabic language
Everyone always says we should never perform the same trick twice. Just showed this to someone 3 times in a row. Jaw still on the floor. Fucking hilarious, the reactions I get for the laziest tricks. Love your videos, man. The two card monte I got from you has the same effect every single time.
Like Brian said, you say "oh no, we need the card to be face down". All you need to do is reverse the card once they've inserted it half-way into the spread, it doesn't matter whether they slide it in face up or down, you just say you need it to be the other way and do the move.
Hey Brian, Just for my personal failure story (not with this trick but another one you taught): I was doing the head banging with the quarter, and I set it up as a challenge. "As you can see it takes many hits on the table for the quarter to fall off" Well when I proved that the quarter fell off my head :l
5:49 The look on her face says "OMG! Is he gonna do it again. Hurry up already" 6:55 The look on his face says "Brian is so cute. Should I ask him if he is gay?"
I came up with a card trick kind of like this, i got my mom to pick a random card, not showing me what she picked, then putting the card back in the deck anywhere she likes, she then cuts the deck maybe 5 - 10 times, doesn't matter, it just builds confidence... and since my deck was sorted i don't show her the cards she just sees me shuffling through until i find the 5 6 7 8 A 9 10 then i say hey, was your card perchance this one, hands her the Ace, MIND BLOWN
I saw Now You See Me 2 today, and I wanted to learn a few of us slight of hand tricks, well start to, and so I've been watching these videos because they had easy to follow content. I clicked on the video and I saw a face pop up, and the picture hadn't cleared up yet, so I was like "Justin?!?! Sl1pg8r!?!? Wha!?!?" xP lol
That's so cool!! I just noticed some of My glasses have a square! Also, you look cool with your glasses!! 😻😸 You should wear them more often. You don't wanna accidentally poke yourself in the eye and become a zombie alien, right? 😸😎
Brian, I pulled the number riddle on one of my friends where you put a number in the first row and in every consecutive row it will state how many of a kind of number there were in the previous row: 1 11 21 1211 3112, as an example It completely confused them and had no idea where it was going. It was amazing! Thank you for teaching me that.
I love you so much! I want to meet you so bad! I'm obsessed with magic and I love knowing how to do tricks and showing off! I just recently heard about your show and I'm in love with it! I own a Chris Angel magic trick set and from watching your show I've learned even more tricks. Sometimes I feel like my friends get tired of me doing magic, but it makes me so happy blowing up people's minds! Thank you so much for being amazing and I'd love to meet you one day! Hopefully my dream will come true.
BB: Oh no i have no idea how to incorporate these new glasses into the new episode of scam school in 2 hours! what ever shall i do?? Diamond Jim Tyler: I'll save you Brian, with this easy move that you can preform AND teach to those at home! BB: Oh gee thanks mister tyler!
the thing is when you know sleight of hand you tend to focus on other peoples hand and i figured it out the second he did the trick...never seen this and was great but fooling nontheless to some. Faster hands would make this trick crazy to even see happening
when you said "well i guess" around 10:40 they should have filmed you and you should have totally made a david caruso move or something, that would have been awesome
Pretty sweet trick Brushwood! Thanks! When I first saw it I knew that move had something to do with it, but I thought there was a duplicate card or something. There is one slight issue though... what if some jackass puts the card like 2 or 3 cards from the top/bottom? Cause when you're reversing the piles it'll be obvious that their card's at the other end of the deck. So obviously you have to force or suggest the center of the deck, but how would you recommend that?
Hey Brian, I'm a big fan and u are great, thank u for all the tutorials, but what if they say that they would like to change the position of their square?
Extremely subtle move, but I think the spectator can figure it out after a while. Perhaps it would be better if used in the middle of another trick (as way to control a card) or if followed by a false shuffle. Anyway, congratulations.
**psst** Are you enjoying Scam School? You've gotta check out our *brand-new series* "The Modern Rogue" at ua-cam.com/users/modernrogue. If you've seen it, reply and tell me what you think. If not, then get on over there. I'll bet you a dollar you love it. -Brian
Scam School I'm going it be honest, i don't find it too interesting but I love Scam school
I checked it out. and can you teach how to do an escape act on this channel. The modern rouge was awesome thanks.
Sponsored by glasses. Wears a braille shirt. Pure genius.
I love how Brian directed her to put the card back, "Face down anywhere." and when she does he goes, "Oh, we need that to be face up." kind of like saying oh sorry my mistake, here I will correct that... all just to cover the trick. Love how simple and clean this is!
This would be really fun to do with the barcode on the back of the deck box. I checked a few in my home and found that they all actually have the same setup. There's a break in the middle with five digits on either side.
Been using the Prophecy move for years. It's a seriously versatile move and always goes unnoticed.
this is my first time seeing him wear glasses and honestly, I think he looks better WITH the glasses than without.
Yeah, I usually wear glasses on my other shows, like cordkillers.com and nightattack.tv
Scam School oh cool. and sorry if my comment was offensive in any way.
I prefer him without the crazy 90's hair
Nah, he looks goofy.
godismy refuge Well scientifically the weirder something is the easier it is to notice that something.
this is by far my favorite trick. I've used it on dozens of people and no one has any idea how it's done. I love the delayed reaction that I get when people are putting it all together and realize it's in the right place. thanks for sharing this
When he has his hair like this he looks much nicer!
Hey Brian!! I have always loved magic tricks but I never thought I can do them until I was just surfing through the net and accidentally landed on one of your videos, BTW I have performed few of your tricks with family and friends and you've made me look like a star..

Brian is my inspiration to be a magician
thanks!
John Nillos same here!
Magician is my inspiration to be a Brian.
Glad the show's working out for you, Roberto!
I tried this trick at the bar last night, accidentally summoned a homunculus.
Who was the artificial human?
The fact that Brian replies to comments is probably one of the best parts about watching ScamSchool again
Are those Warby Parker glasses ?
Yes, it was said in the video multiple times.
oh
BobMarley0000 Your must be slow.
Evil Odlaw You must be slow...
You are kidding, right?
Seriously, Brian, I am watching ''Scam School'' for a year and you are very a good teacher, thanks a lot for doing that show every week :)
How do you know that they'll stop you or put the card in the right place for the trick?
What do you do if they put it in a different spot?
Whoa. I swear I didn't even think of that irony... -BB
What I'm thinking is, holy crap, she's freakin cute.
Indeed!
I was so convinced someone would figure it out, because it's so simple but you were right. Great trick
Nice Willy Wonka reference there at the beginning!
Alex Mayhew "Scratch that... Reverse it"
All that matters is that we've found each other. Finally.
Im here for the sponsors...
@scamschool
I have used so many of your tricks on my friends and family that they are all convinced I'm some secret mater magician. Thank you! I'll be trying this one out asap.
Did you notice that at the start there was a snail on the tree . It's right next to him
Yes, it fits all the way in there, though I was wearing a ring 2 sizes too large, and the shim bent inwards a bit, making it snug.
His hair is normal too
Read this in Vaas`s voice ... to much far cry 3.
Too*
Vaas Montenegro did i ever tell you the definition of insanity
You're the only one who caught it! (so happy you did, though)
what I do for this trick is I use the number under the bar code of the pack of card
This is so easy, thanks for sharing it with us Brian.
Doing this stuff for people who could care less in the first place has always been your biggest mistake. Seriously, you should vet your participants better. It's not you, it's your participants.

Pulling some completely random people out of a Starbucks or whatever just isn't doing it for me.
Love what ya do, hate who you do it for. They almost always suck.
Its funny how your tricks are easier to pull off and better than almost all other UA-camr magicians tricks.
could someone blind tell me what his shirt says? oh wait...
ha! counter...intelligince? no, intuitivey!
I love you Brian. So simple... how have I not found this yet?
Just remember, if someone asks you if you want to change your mind after you have picked a place. ALWAYS pick a new one! Most people won't.
+Bunker Buster
Always pick a new position? Seriously, why?
Most people don't switch so many times a performer will ask them if they want to change just to give the appearance that they have a choice. If the person then decides to change it can mess up some performers or give you another look at how they are deceiving you.
Plus, sometimes changing your pick gives you better odds at winning.

If you choose to change it, don't worry it will make the trick more convincing. usually the force is in the handling of the crowd, not the handling of the cards. A magician should never offer anything they are not prepared to deal with.
I was wondering how he could save it if he gives her a chance to change her card.
The fact that he knew our reactions all throughout the video is wizardry all in itself :)
What if before they insert it in, they ask "Do I insert it facing up or down?"
Good question. That blows the trick.
That would ruin the trick. However, I am sure that 99.99% of the time the common person would assume that the card will be faced face down with the rest of the card (magicians always say, "don't let me what card it is.")

Thats what she said!
Eugene Thong what most magitions would do is have a back up trick that they would switch to and do instead. or you can say it doesnt matter, then say oops I lied, it does, you need to put it in face up
I love your channel and I also love how you talk to your subscribers and anybody who views this video, I'm definitely subscribing!
glad you like 'em!
Like if you watched tons of scam school videos to impress your friends. But you never performed any trick Haha
Should I dislike if I actually did one of those tricks ?
Hhhhh
Well, did you perform it well ?
Yeah
It was centrally better than your grammar
Well actually i'm still learning English considering it's not my first or second language.
What about you ? Probably you don't even know the arabic language
لا ما اعتقد بعرف عربي
One of my favorite channels on You Tube! I look forward to every new episode. BTW, I love the frames...I gotta get a pair.
who else really wanted to find out what her keep calm shirt said
i want to find out wats under her keep calm shirt
haha yes!!!!!!!
Very old comment, it's Keep Calm and Chive on, it's from thechive, used to be a great site...not so much anymore
yesterday i tried to read someone's mind i really failed lol but i don't care i just began this thing and your videos are so inspiring :)
I miss his old hair :/
SasoriGaming lol
Same
Everyone always says we should never perform the same trick twice. Just showed this to someone 3 times in a row. Jaw still on the floor. Fucking hilarious, the reactions I get for the laziest tricks. Love your videos, man. The two card monte I got from you has the same effect every single time.
Me neither, and I'm glad that I've found this episode. I think I'm gonna watch all the videos that I hadn't seen
That's completely rad!
Welcome back, then!
Brian looks extremely clean and tidy in this video with his hair and glasses :)
Brian thanks for that trick.You always come up with something easy and fun to do :)
great idea!
Absolutley outstanding...... just started doing magic and this one is my favourite..... thanks for bringing it to my attention
Now Brian, that is an awesome effect.
Like Brian said, you say "oh no, we need the card to be face down". All you need to do is reverse the card once they've inserted it half-way into the spread, it doesn't matter whether they slide it in face up or down, you just say you need it to be the other way and do the move.

5:49 The look on her face says "OMG! Is he gonna do it again. Hurry up already"
6:55 The look on his face says "Brian is so cute. Should I ask him if he is gay?"
Brian, I liked it when no one knew about you now everyone I know says "Oh, that's from scam school"
Hi Brian Brushwood, I just downloaded the sample of Scam School Book 2: Fire in iBooks, and I will definitely buy the full iBook! It's awesome!
It took me more time to set up the deck in its original order than i needed to learn the trick!
I came up with a card trick kind of like this, i got my mom to pick a random card, not showing me what she picked, then putting the card back in the deck anywhere she likes, she then cuts the deck maybe 5 - 10 times, doesn't matter, it just builds confidence... and since my deck was sorted i don't show her the cards she just sees me shuffling through until i find the 5 6 7 8 A 9 10 then i say hey, was your card perchance this one, hands her the Ace, MIND BLOWN
Brian, those frames actually suit you. Keep them!
That's why we have sponsors in each episode (and why I get annoyed when people post ad skip links).
I saw Now You See Me 2 today, and I wanted to learn a few of us slight of hand tricks, well start to, and so I've been watching these videos because they had easy to follow content. I clicked on the video and I saw a face pop up, and the picture hadn't cleared up yet, so I was like "Justin?!?! Sl1pg8r!?!? Wha!?!?" xP lol
For the thumbnail I mean)
Brian in this bid you looked like my favorite gamer UA-camr sl1pg8r is what I meant to say)
haha-- crazy! Here's a really good starting point for 6 easy tricks: ua-cam.com/video/PVn5EoM7tnE/v-deo.html
thanks so much, man. Means a lot.
He's doing it to show how adaptable it is, but good memory
Absolutely LOVE your t-shirt! Nice trick!
this hair looks SO much better. nice haircut!!
Thanks, man. Glad you like it!
Excellent observation and inquiry.
That's so cool!! I just noticed some of My glasses have a square! Also, you look cool with your glasses!! 😻😸 You should wear them more often. You don't wanna accidentally poke yourself in the eye and become a zombie alien, right? 😸😎
The girl was so annoyed and anxious to have you leave
Brian, I pulled the number riddle on one of my friends where you put a number in the first row and in every consecutive row it will state how many of a kind of number there were in the previous row:
1
11
21
1211
3112, as an example
It completely confused them and had no idea where it was going. It was amazing! Thank you for teaching me that.
Thanks! Glad you like it.
I love you so much! I want to meet you so bad! I'm obsessed with magic and I love knowing how to do tricks and showing off! I just recently heard about your show and I'm in love with it!

Hopefully my dream will come true.
wow amazing card trick!! didn't know it was you at the start though :/
havnt watched for a while but your hair looks great
tried the trick on some of my friends at school they loved it. great trick.
Man I love this channel
Glad you like them!
Wow, she probably did the trick better than anyone else you've had on the first try.
BB: Oh no i have no idea how to incorporate these new glasses into the new episode of scam school in 2 hours! what ever shall i do??
Diamond Jim Tyler: I'll save you Brian, with this easy move that you can preform AND teach to those at home!
BB: Oh gee thanks mister tyler!
Glad it worked for you!
the thing is when you know sleight of hand you tend to focus on other peoples hand and i figured it out the second he did the trick...never seen this and was great but fooling nontheless to some. Faster hands would make this trick crazy to even see happening
when you said "well i guess" around 10:40 they should have filmed you and you should have totally made a david caruso move or something, that would have been awesome
all right I get it now. Great trick Love Scam School.
the first trick i actually got right and knew how to perform just by watching him not even by see how it was performed cx
im feeling proud cx
wow his hair is so much better. not seen this in a couple of years
I did this on my girlfriend and the cards told her her birthday. She was very impressed
oh, man I wish I could come... already booked, though! :-/
Glad you like it!
Pretty sweet trick Brushwood! Thanks! When I first saw it I knew that move had something to do with it, but I thought there was a duplicate card or something. There is one slight issue though... what if some jackass puts the card like 2 or 3 cards from the top/bottom? Cause when you're reversing the piles it'll be obvious that their card's at the other end of the deck. So obviously you have to force or suggest the center of the deck, but how would you recommend that?
I performed this for my fiance, and she wasn't too impressed because she thought she knew how I did it, but she only thought she knew.
awesome move!! awesome channel!!
Hey Brian, I'm a big fan and u are great, thank u for all the tutorials, but what if they say that they would like to change the position of their square?
Wow, the host looks like a decent person here. Glasses and a normal haircut will do wonders.
I spent most of my time trying to decipher the shirt and the best I could do was 'free berkeley'.
Glad you like it, man :-)
Rofl I really thought it's not going to work, but I totally fouled my friends, ty Brian!
You should keep the glasses! May sound creepy, but they're super cute! :3
Brian try using the bar code and splitting the numbers with a joker thats what i do and people love it
Extremely subtle move, but I think the spectator can figure it out after a while. Perhaps it would be better if used in the middle of another trick (as way to control a card) or if followed by a false shuffle. Anyway, congratulations.
+ScamSchool I feel so magical!
+Colin Shuran BECAUSE YOU ARE!
