Dude I want you to know your content has truly re-inspired me to get back into magic after being out of it for a few years. I’ve done some of your illusions now with fantastic results! Your presentation and teaching is second to none. Keep up the good work👍🏼.
Great trick! Rich Ferguson actually taught almost the exact same thing a while ago not sure where he got it from but it's really cool to see a new tutorial on it. The false shuffle is a great touch.
I figured out how to deal with if the person goes past the 6s and 7s. Also if they’re a smart ass like my husband and would count out the entire thing to the end. “Piles of 15” ◦ Put the 15 cards on top 6s and 7s alternating with a number card. Make sure one of the 6s or 7s is on top and bottom of the pile of 15. ◦ Show them to spec and Shuffle again making sure to keep top 1/3 of deck at top. Do fake shuffles and cuts too. ◦ Deal three piles of 15. Put the extra seven cards aside you don’t need them. ◦ Have spec pick two piles. Make sure the first pile is always put aside. ◦ Then have them pick card, and put it back at the 7th position then shuffle like the beginning. ◦ Have them take the first pile and say put down one card at a time until you feel like stopping. As they put down the cards say to yourself yes, no, yes, no and when they stop on a no say ok what’s the next card. If they stop on a yes say ok what was that card you stopped at? It’ll be a 6 or 7. ◦ Show them the two cards on either side of the one they stopped at and say see you could’ve stopped at the five or the nine (or whatever the numbers are) but you didn’t you stopped at the 7 (or6). ◦ Count out the other pile until you reach the 6th or 7th card and show them that it’s their card.
There is a way to make it even safer in case the spectator takes longer to stop. I can add two extra random cards to the top, as no one would stop at the first or second, and if they did, I could say it would be too easy, and make them continue. And after the pack of sizes and sevens, I could to the same with the eights. This will increase the safe part from 16 cards to 32, and if the spectator is told to cut the deck roughly in half, it would make the entire half safe. If the spectator stops at a 6 or a 7, it's the best, then we can let the spectator deal the cards for an increased effect. However, if it's an 8, then the magician counts and calls the numbers 1 to 8 while dealing only 7.
Скажите пожалуйста, как после фаро получается что сетап с верхними подготовленными картами остается неизменным???? или я что-то не так понял??? Спасибо, если поможете понять)
the first half of the video is super imporant, because we can see, if we would get foold by the trick. The way you did it, wasn't completly honest tough, because the spectator couldn't choose between the two piles in the actual trick and the spectator will most likely not choose exectly the seventh card, so I can't really tell after learning the trick, whether I, or others would get fooled by it
Hey I loved this trick I am a bit new to cardistry so I have some questions to this trick First of all do we need jokers for this trick second when the spectator is choosing a pile what if the spectator chooses the pile which has 6 and 7s on it what will I do if you can answer this two questions I would appreciate it anyway I really loved the trick thanks for this!
The jokers aren't important to this trick, and you simply don't allow the pile to be chosen by the spectator. When they cut the cards, set the top pile off to the side and use the bottom pile that doesn't have the set-up cards in it for them to pick a card from. If you really wanted to take it a step further and give them the illusion of making a choice, you could do a classic magician's choice where you ask them to simply "pick either pile." The secret is - you don't tell them what they're picking the pile for. So if they pick the pile with the set-up in it, you remove it, making it look as if THEY chose to eliminate that pile. If they pick the pile you need for the next part of the trick, just use it and make it look like THEY chose the pile we are using. You never told them what they were picking for, so they won't know either way. Makes people feel like they made important choices when they never did at all, you simply suckered them in to feeling like they made the trick even more impossible to pull off.
Sir what if the spectator chooses a card after the 6 and 7 order. Becoz they cut it into the half and there will be more cards than the 6 and 7 order. Plz say
Oscar thank you for all that you do...Question? After signing up for your magic/trick class, May I enter at any time during the summer..ie will the class always be available to me...Thank you Oscar...
Claudia Musing 1 second ago Exactly!!. That’s why I put them into THREE piles in the beginning. 17,17,18. And always keep the first 17 pile for them to count out.
@@mason_nb figured it out even better. Make a pile of 15 with a 6 or 7 on top and bottom. That way if the persons a smart ass like my husband and counts through the whole pile they’ll end on a 6 or 7. Here’s what I wrote out for myself. “Piles of 15” ◦ Put the 15 cards on top 6s and 7s alternating with a number card. Make sure one of the 6s or 7s is on top and bottom of the pile of 15. ◦ Show them to spec and Shuffle again making sure to keep top 1/3 of deck in shuffled and at top. Do fake shuffles and cuts too. ◦ Deal three piles of 15. ◦ Have spec pick two piles. Make sure the first pile is always put aside. ◦ Then have them pick card, and put it back at the 7th position then shuffle like the beginning. ◦ Have them take the first pile and say put down one card at a time until you feel like stopping. As they put down the cards say to yourself yes, no, yes, no and when they stop on a now say ok what’s the next card. If they stop on a yes say ok what was that card you stopped at? It’ll be a 6 or 7. ◦ Show them the two cards on either side of the one they stopped at and say see you could’ve stopped at the five or the nine but you didn’t you stopped at the 7 (or6). ◦ Count out the other pile until you reach the 6th or 7th card and show them that it’s their card.
When you did the trick at the beginning, you let the spectator cut the deck and pick a half, but when you showed how to do the trick, you picked the lower half for them. Still, it is a very nice trick.
