the one good thing about this whole quarantine is I have all the time in the world to practice. Thanks for pumping out the videos, Alex! It goes a long way, I promise!
Just started learning card tricks 2 weeks ago. Love the tutorials. You make it look so easy. Going to keep working on it. Thanks for the tips and insights.
Whenever I encounter someone who wants to get into card magic, I point them your way. Videos like this are doing a huge service to budding magicians! Thank you!
Great video as always, love that bonus tip at the end. The good old clumsy with cards technique, no one ever thinks your doing something sneaky when it looks like you’ve messed up! Also makes people realise you weren’t keeping their card on the top like they probably thought haha. With the over hand shuffle from bottom to top I always do a few shuffles keeping the card at the bottom and then do it where I move it to the top. When people see overhand shuffles they rarely do just one and observant people might look suspiciously. I also always do my overhands like I’m retaining a card so that all my shuffles look the same.
This is my take on transferring a card from the bottom to the top. The first time recall seeing it done the way you did it was in a Jay Sankey video. I never liked the way it look. To me, it looks like you're undoing what you just did. I'm going to describe the two ways I like to do it. So you're holding the break over the bottom card with the right thumb. Swing cut the top half to the left hand. Place those cards underneath. Of course you still holding the break. Swing cut about half of the cards above the break to the left hand. Place those cards underneath. Swing cut the rest of the cards above the break to the left hand and place those underneath. You're going to need to do one of three things just before the last swing cut. 1. Slightly raise the cards that are above the break. I mean very slightly and that goes for all three movements. 2. Slightly lower the cards that are below the break. 3. Slightly push the cards that are above the break forward. I am not going to say why you need to do one of three things. If you attempt the procedure you'll find out. Second method As before, swing cut the top half to the left hand and place the cards on the bottom. Cut off about half of the cards that are above the break and place them on the table. Place the rest of the cards above the break on top of the first packet. Place the balance of the deck on top of all. I like the other stuff in the video.
Hey Alex can you make more detail about Duck Change ? I never ever could do that, even i watch another tutorial from another channel 🙄 if you make the video i will happy for that 🙏
If you have a break over a card in the middle, is it possible to "overhand shuffle" (or something that looks like it) it to the top or bottom of the deck, without it looking sketchy?

Not looking it just because of the little sound before second 1. I'm avoiding all shitty videos including attempts of psychological glitches and overanalized production.
