Came 2 years later but this effect is so powerful, I showed it to my pops who did a lot of magic and went on penn and teller fool us, this fooled him so that met a lot to me
One of my favourite slights is the Biddle Count. I also love the Classic Pass. As many others here have mentioned, the DL is so incredibly versatile. Not sure that you class it as a slight but forcing a card is still one of the simplest yet most important card magic skills.
I'm so glad I found your channel, Jay. You were one of four folks that really got me interested in magic. I still have your '45' DVD, man! I hope you're well, sir.
The pass. An insane effect on its own for sleight demonstrations, colour changes, ambitious card sequences etc. or also can be a completely invisible control setting up for a killer finish. Easy to learn, difficult to master, impossible not to love!
Sankey magic is the only magician that gives these free videos, real slights with an in depth tutorial, and he gives a preview gj, Mr. Jay Sankey would you please release more tutorials thanks you
My favorite sleight is the double lift because when elegantly done even magicians don't always now when someone has done it. I also like it because they audience wont really be expecting it, making the magic even more amazing.
my favorite sleight is definitely the Hermann Pass as I can usually cover it really really well. The classic pass has a tendency to flash from time to time depending on what angle the audience is at. I especially like working my Hermann pass from a spread out position and cover it with squaring the deck.
I can't remember what the slight was called but my favourite is the sleight you did in the video "any card, any number" or "acaan" where you take the top card pretending it is the number in the deck the spectator has chosen, because people are so trusting when you just misdirect them, and they jump to the conclusion themselves.
I love the spread cull, its so innocent and can be used for loads of forces, a part of a routine or can even be used as a stand alone mentalism effect.
My favorite type of sleight is a color change because it is so versatile and it is a very visual moment of magic when one card transforms into another.
My favourite sleight of hand is classic pass because it's one of the first I've learnt and it's like it's invisible. I LOVE IT. I've only started learning coin magic and I think your awesome 🙂
My favorite sleight is the palm, because being able to indirectly show empty hands and produce something is a magic trick in itself and I can use it to add flare to day to day life around friends.
The classic pass is probably my favorite to get away with. The touches you suggested in your video were excellent and definitely something I'm going to incorporate.
my favourite sleight is the ditching coin (or ring etc.) vanish. i use it a lot! and i love to practise it!!! I even was lucky enough to have greg wilson as a teacher for this one
I don't do a lot of card magic. I've learned a few challenging routines just to present myself as legitimate to the general public and some magicians. But my favorite sleight is the retention vanish. I had taught myself several types of palming a coin but I got a hold of a David Roth VHS tape in the 80's and learned his retention vanish. I like the fact that I can do it in front of myself and it still looks convincing! And it works with lots of items besides coins! Thanks for sharing this routine!
Favorite slight? There are so many to choose from! I would have to say the Mercury card fold. Revealing a folded card appearing somewhere at the end of a routine is a fantastic feeling!
i like the ribbon spread because it reminds us magicians to look at a trick through the eyes of a spectator. for example if you do a molecule cut people are going to blame the trick on you being a card shark. another great reason is most spectators would be more amazed at the beginner move the ribbon spread than advanced a 5 packet cut (but is does depend on the spectator).
The paddle move, it's great for impromptu and I use it on a borrowed quarter, before any other borrowed quarter trick, to make it look double headed and then I flip tails(most of the time). This really helps me gauge the spectator's skepticism and lower the expectations of spectators that are harder to fool.
A very lovely deception. Thanks for sharing. My favorite sleight? Hard to choose. When it comes to coins a shuttle pass is very useful. I've been trying to get a flying shuttle pass to work without the coin jumping to the floor. Still working on it :)
One of my favorites sleights is the coin across the fingers. It's hard to lern like other sleights,it doesn't involve cards and impress everyone. And congrats for more than 100.000 subscribers. You worth it. You're a great magic teacher and I love your channel.
Thank God I can rewind that video..lol great sleights and misdirection. My favorite sleight is the 'double lift', in particular the version credited to Derek Dingle. It took a long time to learn but very clean looking. Cheers!
You sir, are a genius. Sleight of hand is an amazingly simple but yet complex way of mesmerizing an audience. You have to practice it to get is smooth. Motions have to be flawless to make it seem like something comes out of nothing or the opposite. Watching your motions I was impressed. Thank you for this.
just tried the street in front of my mom and Grandpa I figured since it was such a smooth trigger could do it more than once and I did they never called on this is a great trick that you can pull and one of the tricks that you can do twice without them figuring it out the first time I did it with a random assortment of cards that I had written down the other one I just did the four aces this is a great trip
That presentation had a smoother flow than an ancient Roman aqueduct. My favorite sleight is lapping. So versatile and easy for a casual seated situation. It's also incredibly underused, I think. People are more focused these days on stand-up, walk-around magic.
Absolutely fantastic - the ONLY part that got my attention that something is "off" was when you really went out of your way to show there were 2 coins remaining (putting each coin in each hand and really displaying them) when you were quite secretive when the first coin vanished and there were only three coins remaining - and you didn't really display them.
Thank you so much Sankey for the advanced trick! When you commented on my comment last video telling me to watch The Card Trick That Fooled Penn And Teller, I had already had that video in 'watch later' XD.
i think my favourite sleight of hand is the rub away vanish which i learned on your channel. i think there is something absolutely incredible about faking an action. you are not supposed to make it invisible, like in the classic pass, let s say. the move is not supposed to be unseen. it is supposed to look like an ordinary an casual move but it isn t such thing. i hope i made my point clear
My favourite sleight is any kind of double lift. There are soooo many ways of doing it and it can be done so smoothly that even someone who knows the move can be fooled with it!
My favorite sleights are sleights of the mind. However, for practical sleights, my current fav is probably the back palm; only because I just got it down.
One of my favourite sleights is the French Drop. Obviously combined with something else, because as Master Sankey always says "A big action covers the small one" ;)
you know a move / routine is SO good when you have to slow down the complete tutorial and spend HOURS to try to understand every muscle movement being done - what a great trick ! Thanks and I guess will shut me down in the room now for a couple of months (or years) :D
Favorite slight is defenitely the double lift. It's such a simple move, yet there's literally thousands of tricks you can do with just a double lift. Even color changes and ambitious card routines. While in reality all it is is turning over two cards as one
I loved this...thanks for giving us a look inside deception...I really wish I could say I had a favorite sleight but I tended to shy away from learning very many sleights..I lack the confidence to pull them off...I recently purchased Modern Coin Magic in the hopes I can learn something...Thanks anyways for the opportunity to take part in todays contest...
It's hard to choose just one because there are some really awesome, easy to do and very fooling sleights out there. But I would choose the diagonal palm shift because it is very versatile and it is the base off a lot of other sleights.
