    In this video, I reveal the magic card trick that fooled Albert Einstein. This is a really powerful magic trick that is easy to do because it is practically self-working. It will give you the ability to guess how many cards are in a pile just by weighing it with your hand!
    If you have any questions please ask me in the comments section below. Cheers!
    Note: The original trick was performed with coins, not cards, but effect and prediction are exactly the same.
    Stay magical,
    Oscar

    Einstein said that it's impossible because he assumed that the magician knew as much as Einstein did about the deck, and with only that knowledge it would be nearly impossible, but little did he know that the magician knew more about the deck than Einstein did, (the fact that there's an amount of bent cards to realize).

  • @user-ci9te3yt6t
    @user-ci9te3yt6t 4 роки тому

    The easiest way to perform this trick is that you don't have to count of and pend 22 cards but you do tell the spectator to take punch cards less than half of the cards or as much as 20 cards. As he takes some cards look at his cards carefully (without letting him to notice that) to make sure he took less than 20 cards then take more cards than he took. After that tell that you will only count your pile, and for example you got 27 cards and you think that your spectator has less cards than 24, pick up your pile and pick up his pile and feel how much heavy they're (pretending to be weighting the cards), put down the two piles and say like this; "I have as many cards as you plus 3 and the rest will make your pile 24".
    If he has 18 you put 18 from yours plus 3 and the rest which is 6 will make his cards 24.

    • @oscar
      @oscar  6 років тому

      Camera is a Nikon D7000. Shot in 1080p 25fps. Software is Premiere Pro and Aftereffects. The most important thing is lighting - get a scene - buy a set of lights and lay around until they loon great. I then shot the video in SLOG and edited the colours on premiere pro. I put it on after effects to add a few artificial light rays etc. Then added music and dramatic voice over after 💪🏻
