SEE ME PERFORM LIVE IN NYC: parlourofdeceptions.com ONLINE COURSE ON CARD MAGIC: cardmagic101.com PRIVATE EVENTS AND LESSONS: danielroymagic.com/booking SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER: danielroymagic.com/newsletter CREDITS: Level 1: this demonstration is based on a routine by Jim Swain, explained on his Miracles DVD set. Level 2: I use a shuffle sequence created by Rod the Hop in this phase and throughout the video. It is explained in Steve Forte's books, Gambling Sleight of Hand Vols. 1 and 2. Levels 3 & 4: these demonstrations are based off of Harry Lorayne's routine Numero Uno, released on Vol. 1 of his "Best Ever" DVD set. Level 5: while different in method, this level is based off of ideas found throughout Jim Swain's act on the first DVD of his Miracles DVD set. Levels 6, 7, & 8: these levels are comprised of a slight variation of Darwin Ortiz's routine Positively Fifth Street, found in his book Lessons in Card Mastery. Levels 9 & 10: this demonstration is a (very) slight variation of the Dai Vernon Poker Demonstration, published in the Dai Vernon Book of Magic.
sir, thank ye fer the video but, ye have a little misinformation. The Yugioh trading card game ain't based off of the anime serie of it. It is the compllete opposite: first the game came out and the anime is just a commercial fer the game but; of course, it's popularity acceed continents and the first serie anime of yugioh bacme the most watched cartoon in 'murica once upon a time. Best.
bah, that was awesome - those are the best skills - fyi, i would have discarded the "5" with my "quad deuces" because i like to get as much info as possible.... that was world class as always;
@@DanielRoyMagic Honest question--how many takes were required here? If I gave you a deck of cards right now and asked you to do this routine, do you think you could do it on the spot (after prepping the deck of course)?
@@alexhussinger3550 if I’ve been practicing, I can do it every time. But for filming, every time I trip over a word or spread cards in a not-quite-perfect arc, I have to start over.
I've always enjoyed watching people do different things when they have absolutely mastered the skill. Skilled instrument players, rally drivers in-cam footages, strongmen, E-sports player montages etc. you name it...If you can do it at the top level (whatever it is) its incredible. But magic tricks has always been its own tier. Well done sir. This is just something what I can't imagine how much practise and patience it would take to reach this level... How the f... is this possible?? Mad respect.
I would have drawn a card with the quad 2's. There's no downside, and it helps obfuscate the hand. If you stand pat then you're telegraphing a very strong hand. If you draw, then there's more ambiguity.
Yes, that's what I was also thinking l, but just like Daniel mentioned, heck, the dealer would just bottom deal as to not mess the stack. However, if I had quads straight from the deal, I would definitely change a card. Resting in that situation would most likely make all your opponents fold.
Also, you have decent odds of drawing a better kicker than a five. It makes no difference in a game without wilds (which I can only assume this is), but not all players are going to realize that.
wow, it's not just a demonstration of skill, but also of perfect memory! Even if I was able to do all the moves, I wouldn't be able keep track of all those cards for the finale!
Even though I have a rough clue how many of the things are done in theory, this is just so damn smooth. Thanks Daniel and keep the non-shorts videos up pls :-)
Daniel I work in cybersecurity and you might make me change professions. I’ve been watching your videos for over a year and your sleight of hand is top notch! Keep going KING!
I have been obsessed with magic since I was a small child. I have learned all manner of slight of hand, and though I'm still only okay at it, I've seen may skilled masters of slight of hand, and you are among the finest I've seen in quite a while! Your dead cuts are flawless!
Beautiful as always. How I would have handled the discard/draw phase at the end: The first hand, I agree with the discard because it is too unlikely to go for the straight because the numbers are far enough away. Second hand, also agree. The third hand however, personally I would have discarded the 5 because I would want the rest of the table to think I was fishing for a straight, flush, or full house. Also for the fourth player, the sucker who cut the deck nicely for you, with 5 players at the table, and having 2-3 extra cards taken, that would mean 27-28 cards are in play. I wouldn't risk getting rid of all my other cards and hoping for a jack or another pair. I probably would have kept the 9 and hoped for a jack or a 9.
Amazing demonstration, as always. I agree that with the third hand I would have drawn a single card, just to make it seem like I wasn't on a 'pat' hand, but was drawing in hopes of getting a hand. In a 'normal' game, heavily betting after that could be taken as a bluff from someone who missed their draw, etc. It would just be more likely to encourage betting. Of course, Daniel would roll with this, bottom dealing that draw or similar. :)
what I find amazing about this is that I'm not sure if it's literally just amazing dexterity or controlled actions, like... in blindfolded speedrunning, you do controlled setups to make sure you're in a good position. here though, it just seems like some of the actions (that shouldn't be based on sleight of hand) are just super precise, like lifting 12 cards mindboggling
But with playing heavy, you also have to deal with te fact that when you fold, showdown your hand (and/or in the case of a draw game, discard & draw), the others will see you have an extra card if you're not careful
For the jacks hand, I would've discarded all the non clubs. Which you mentioned sort of. Already had 3, so the chance at 4 or 5 is stronger than one pair imo.
Damn Daniel, back at it again! Poker fascinates me ever since i saw it on 007 Casino Royale, but i still don't know on is it actually a good cards that they play or not
Daniel would you please make a shuffling video? I really need help learning to shuffle in different ways. As many ways as you know how to shuffle or cut cards, please teach me
An alternative outcome to the draw poker level is that your "partner" draws the fourth Ace (supposing there is no limit to the number of cards you can replace, like say three cards, four if you are keeping an ace), and that should not be a problem for the dealer because they can simply give themselves a nine of spades to complete a straight flush. There can even be wild cards, where the dealer gets five of a kind and the player to their right gets the royal flush.
Extremely impressive skills! But if someone shuffled the cards and got a royal flush and everybody else also got a very impressive hand there's no way I wouldn't accuse him of cheating ;)
Sic video, i like how you dealt yourself the actual best hand the game Royal Flush of spades. 7:45 most of the time I think this person is discarding that 5 for a new card.
11th level is probably that each level bios on each other and prepped for the next. Also, I want to just complement you for how smooth and natural you made those false shuffles and cuts look. It was hard to tell, but I definitely saw during 2 riffle shuffles in level 6 that you did absolutely nothing to the order of the cards.
I did very much enjoy, would of liked to see a level 11 of doing it in holdem because its just what i like to play but still just as impressive doing it 5card, maybe even more
7:47 This doesn't really have anything to do with the video, but I was wondering what the best strategy is if you have four of a kind and don't need another card. Is it best to keep your 5 (in this case) or should you discard it in the hopes that you get a new card that one of the other players want?
One of the other commenters answered this. The best strategy is to discard one, because otherwise you're telegraphing to the other players that you have a hand so strong you don't need to discard anything. Aside from the mental game, though, it doesn't matter to the statistics.
@@DanielRoyMagic after making 60 plus RU-vid videos I would never even consider doing everything in one take. But that's the difference between a real pro
Very Talented. You’ve Worked hard, put in the work and time. I’m a 100% disabled vet in a chair. Being in a chair presents it own difficulty because I can’t use my pockets in a majority of the tricks. My hands have a 60% disability rating adding another level of difficulty in being able to manipulate decks or cards. I have never been a clear and do not plan on starting now. But Why do you think that your presentations Or classes are Worth such a pricey ticket cost?
"Comment down below the decisions you would have made." Well for starters the moment _you_ picked up the deck I'd have set the land speed record leaving that table.
This is so beyond amazing, it's ridiculous, and getting somewhat annoying :p I can't even tell which parts are advanced trickery and which are just incredible skills. I'm going to guess both combined. I have no clue and it's quite frustrating :p
Enjoyed this video. So, I have to ask, do you enjoy playing poker (of any kind), or is it just a way for you to demonstrate your card-handling abilities?
