Chris Ramsay Are you planning to come to India?

chris ramsay, what is your favourite type of magic (mentalism/cards/etc...)

Congratz to my buddy LoVell Illusions! Great channel! Lucky dude won two Russell & Morgan decks from me last month!

Thanks for having me on bud! 👊 Can you do a trick where you make the Leafs win the cup??

Such scam lol right at ad and thanks

Yaani Mani thanks

Yaani Mani thx

Youre the real mvp

That information was more magical than the trick.

Oh, gee, do you think?

I agree. It's a great trick and your tweak makes it even better. Tell the subject to think of a number, and look me in the eye while you have it locked in your brain. Then write down the prediction, which is the prior answer (or the card you peeked). Continue through the progression. On one of them, you can pretend to be experiencing a weak connection and ask them to concentrate a bit more, and then say it is better. Or have them touch your arm while they concentrate on their answer. This works well as a way to be flirtatious while doing the trick. The more involved they are in the process, the less they think about how the trick might work.

@@DanLimbach *tell subject to think of a number * ...then how would you know what number to write down if he didn't say it out loud? are you banking on him thinking of a number and hoping he doesn't ask you i was thinking of number 99 but none of the prediction have 99?

The problem is that this particular card-force then becomes obvious.

You are right that in the video submission, the trick is very untrustworthy and the boundaries between query and writing are blurred, which is easy for an average bright person to detect. It is also very unfortunate to perform this trick over Skype. Since I have been doing this trick since the last century, I had to change its concept so that it was as trustworthy as possible, ie that there was a clear line between action and guessing. Here's my guide: I do it with a deck of playing cards (I don't want to carry paper and a pencil), which I throw all over the table face down and spread both hands across the table or pile them up, etc. Before I play cards shuffled, I remembered the card from the bottom of the deck, which is not a problem when shuffling, and I remembered its position on the table. Suppose it was Spades 2. Then I invite the person to point me with a finger to the Spades 2. I will say that I am not only trying to guess the card shown, but that I know in advance which card he will point to (these are two mental tricks in one!). Of course, the person and I do not see the value of the selected card, such as a cross 10. If she accidentally points to my spades2, whose position I remember and which has been said, the trick ends with great success by guessing the selection). Let's go back. In my hand is a selected cross 10, which I do not show the person. I commend the person that this is interesting and that we will try again. So I invite her to point to cross 10 (I have it in my hand). Again, if she pointed to my two of spades, which are still somewhere on the table, the trick ends with great success, because I would have both a spades 2 and a 10 cross in my hand, which I will show and praise that the person has the ability to choose according to my prediction. Let's go back. I have a cross of 10 in my hand and I invite the person to point to a cross of 10, for example. He chooses a random card, perhaps a heart 9. Again, I wonder and praise ... and now I say that I will pick the third card myself and declare that I will choose a heart 9, but choose spades 2. Subsequently, I think about the cards and declare that it is not possible that the person would have such predictive selection skills. She forgets that the third choice wasn't her when you deal three cards (spades 2, cross 10, and heart 9). Success is great because it's about three combinations of maneuvers than just writing on a ticket, and it gives you the chance to make an immediate guess when a person accidentally picks your card in the first or second withdrawal, because the cards really are in my hand. This trick counts on plan "B" and is as trustworthy as possible.

Kylo Ren This comment is killing me😂😂

laughed so hard...you have to picture the scene :-) "The illusion went perfect"...now "abracadabra, let me dissapear"

Improvising is also a trick of mentalism.

😂😂😂😂

Lol

I hate it but i love it

he is everyone's son. everyone calls him "my son"

cdg03 seems kind of weird to ask them the answer before you reveal then. Or am I missing something in what you’re implying?

It doesn't work like that. You'd be left with one less of a prediction card

@@lukaspechar No. Because while they are thinking of the number, you just write the card instead.

Oliver Paterson I too feel that

If performed correctly it will fly. Just need to be a good actor.

Daniel Santos ????????

Sm here

All you idiots on this thread..... all magic tricks will seem obvious, once you know how to do it.

+bagoflime ♥️

Yes. It all hinges on the card, though. That's what makes it believable.

What makes it work is based on the fact it's a mentalist magic trick. What you're doing is messing around with their memory. You're not just writing down the answer, you're telling them what to remember as you do the trick. So like with the first card, he said he was writing down the prediction to question 1 making sure the guy remembers the first card is going to be the prediction to question 1. And then this is repeated. Mentalism is playing with the mind. No slight of hand or illusions. Just honest lying and manipulating.

Miguel M hehe The video has been out for 2 minutes And you saw The whole thing?

Notis Katsa i was referring just to his videos in plural and in general not this one in particular and to the video he made about his card collection :) if its unclear it may be a mistake on grammar cause im from spain so english its a foreign language to me

bound2thefloor yeah dude😏😂😂

chris: my eyes are down here bud

bound2thefloor I know right

Frankly, I was sure it would be part of the trick - mentalism involves the "trick" of somehow suggesting the answers that are supposed to be randomly given - such a hat would be a perfect way of this ;) ("Now, name a body part" :D)

Yeah, I was almost thinking that nobody else noticed that lol

+whatarewedoing you should try it! It works!

Believe me it works more or less, I used to do this with just cards where I'm always one ahead with the cards like I tell them a specific card which position I know and then go through cards until I want to stop and just keep going with the one ahead principle

I just knew after he got the first one, he'd nail the other two.

whatarewedoing, done this trick you said and it worked really well and ye it's the same principle

You could also ask the spectator to repeat the questions in the order of you making the predictions. That way it will start with the numbers first, then the name, and then you can say: "I also made a (last) prediction of what you card was" So in practice you could for example say: I made a prediction and then asked you to name a number (do you remember?), then you reveal it. Or you have them ask the following question/prediction so you can reveal it in order (number first, then name, lastly the card). That way they have no idea that you went with a different prediction setup.

Forgive me for the intrusion, l wouId appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - LearnMindReading9.blogspot.com lt is an awesome one off guide for Iearning how to read someones mind without the normaI expense. lve heard some unbeIievabIe things about it and my friend after many years got astronomicaI success with it.

Lukas Richter ?????

Lol how so?

I think the correct odds are 1:52^52.

This principle is as old as the hills. Literally hundreds of years old. If you paid for this, I hope you got a great routine with it.

fucking hell.. i sincerely hope you dont raise your kids to be as stupid as this comment

The algorithms are onto you

wait, wut?

Haha

Sucks to suck.

+Joseph Taylor boom

hmm I think that might encourage them to give a fake number which may also later give a hint to how its done ... i dunno
