This fooling card trick is perfect for beginners who want to look like a professional magician! You will get the most insane reactions and its so easy to do!
Hey Everyone! This trick has been around a long time. I don't know the exact name of it but it's a fun trick to do and so easy! Let me know what you think :)
I’m asking again lol, I thought I understood…. What happens if they pick a card other than 3 and place it back in the deck? I’d understand having them cut, and with a false cut make them think they cut to a 3, but when you’re fanning out the cards and telling them to choose and place back, that could be any card. An I missing something lol?
Hey Steve, I know a similar trick called cards across . This trick could also be called cards across. Let me know if you want to know the other routine. Thanks, Glen
I'm almost 99% certain this is Paul Harris' Las Vegas Leaper. Paul has been a consultant (I believe) for Blaine and of course, his material has been everywhere for a very long time. Brilliant and really nice guy.
@mydavegabicycle - that makes sense. Plus, that is a great name. 👍 Thanks for your info, i appreciate it. If we want to make our own name, we can call it LEAP ACROSS, or CARD LEAP, and / or CARDS LEAP ACROSS. 🤔 LOL. Have a blessed week.
@@glenpolen5562 if I remember correctly, the title comes from making a plot that justifies the odd count. Saying this is how they count cards in Vegas or something to that effect. I'm not a huge fan of the count myself but it's worth mentioning!
Anybody can do a card trick. But a professional will have the audience in the palm of his hand. By involving and engaging your audience, you don't don a card trick, you do MAGIC !! Steve is a professional and the lesson here is how to engage your audience and blow their minds with a simple trick. Learn from a pro and see the bigger picture. Great job, Steve.
A nice simple alternative to a classic cards across. Been doing the palmed version for years and it blows minds. Ps Ive never been called out on a cross cut force just works period with a bit of chat misdirection. Great content as always mate 👌
Fun! I'll give this a shot. Do you have any videos on the pinky brake shuffle? Or is it theoretically simple enough to watch the video a few times and figure out? (Obviously new at this but I know a few tricks and would like to practice this one : D
Paul Harris Las Vegas leaper uses this method for the first half in add palm cards for the second have. David Blaine performs this on Jimmy Kimbel. I first saw Paul Harris do the effect on the Stars of Magic Magic Video series. He latter published a version in the Art of Astonishment with a vanish bill appearing in the spectactor's pocket also taught in the Art of Astonishment DVD set. Very powerful effect It plays well close and stand up. I've used it over 30 years myself and it always gets a great reaction. Very nice tutorial of a masterpiece of magic
Yeah I don't understand that either - you explain how to force a 3 to the top in a few different ways, but when fanning the cards out and asking a spectator to pick one, how does that make them pick a 3?
Definitely not covered. I thought you dealt one more from the top but rewatching you had them pick, but you don't show how to make them pick the 3, just how to put the 3 on the top.
If you wanted to force the card from a fan that’s called a classic force. For beginners not that easy. The criss cross force does work very well and is MUCH easier! However, I wouldn’t actually say “I’ll just mark where you cut” as shown in the explanation. I find it’s better to say nothing and use timed misdirection to go back to the deck. Otherwise excellent presentation and tutorial!
