(thudding)
- [Stu] Okay. We're ready for--
(clicking)
Jesus, man, I said this
is a serious channel.
We gotta be serious on it.
- [Patrick] I'm not feeling too good.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- [Stu] We can use hair gel.
You think my hair gel's gonna work?
And then they're okay.
- [Woman] Yes, it should!
- [Patrick] Content is
bad for me right now.
- [Woman] This one's really sticky.
- [Patrick] Apparently this is hair gel
that he put into the mouth wash container.
- [Stu] Are you recording?
- [Patrick] Why'd you put in this?
Like, I would just put this in my mouth
and I would die.
(laughs)
Like, we don't have glue?
We don't have tape?
- [Stu] This is my hair gel
put into a mouthwash bottle
because I travel, bro.
- [Patrick] Glug, glug, glug.
- [Stu] You're gonna ruin your cards!
We're trying, for those of
you who don't understand
what we're doing, we're trying
to make a double, what is it?
- [Patrick] Double backer?
- [Stu] No, it's not a double backer.
- [Patrick] He's trying
to stick two parts.
- [Stu] We're basically trying
to stick two cards together.
- [Patrick] We could
attach it to your hair,
make you look pretty.
- [Stu] I didn't even put gel on,
I'm not even ready to start film--
- [Patrick] And the
card's warped now, Stu.
- [Stu] Oh my god, alright so
for the last, I think, hour
we've been trying to figure out how to
take two cards and stick em' together,
there's no double stick
tape in this house or glue.
- [Patrick] We use this
tape, extra tape hanging.
- [Stu] I found it.
Bro, this is comin' off,
it's not gonna work.
(bangs)
I mean, usually it sticks
pretty nicely to my hair,
but not to cards.
Not to cards.
- [Patrick] It's warping!
- [Stu] How are we gonna do this trick?
It's a really good trick, too.
- [Stu] Yo, yo, yo.
Go!
(claps)
- Into the performance!
- [Patrick] Alright, guys, so we have--
(sneezes)
- [Stu] Oh, jeez.
(claps)
- [Patrick] Alright,
let's just get this going.
I'm gonna show you how
magician cut four aces.
Can you cut four aces?
- [Stu] Uh, I'm a magician, or no?
I'm a layman.
I'm a layman, we start over, I'm a layman.
(hands rubbing together)
- [Patrick] Alright,
let's try something new,
- [Stu] Okay.
- [Patrick] A deck of
cards, please shuffle.
- [Stu] Shuffle, mix, mix, mix.
- [Patrick] Very good shuffle.
Is that false?
Is that a green?
- [Stu] No, I'm just shuffling
like a layman would shuffle.
- [Patrick] Okay, I'm gonna
have you cut to four aces today.
I'm gonna mix up the cards so you,
do you know the order of the deck?
- [Stu] Yeah, I don't know it.
- [Patrick] I'm gonna give
you a little, quick peek
let's look for the aces okay?
- [Stu] Alright.
- [Patrick] Did you get it?
- [Stu] I got it.
- [Patrick] I think you got it.
- [Stu] Perfect.
- [Patrick] First, wanna give you a clue
is somewhere in the middle.
- [Stu] Somewhere in middle.
- [Patrick] Say stop.
- [Stu] Stop.
- [Patrick] Right here?
- [Stu] Yep.
- [Patrick] It's the first one.
Just cut one more, cut half, put it here.
- [Stu] Oh, nice.
- [Patrick] And let's do
another half on here, down here.
One, two, three, four different piles.
You shuffle, you cut, look at this.
- [Stu] No, way.
- [Patrick] One, two, three, four aces.
- [Stu] Dam, bro, I can't believe--
So, that was an okay trick.
- [Patrick] It's okay.
- [Stu] It was alright.
Didn't get the best reaction but--
- [Patrick] This is true.
- [Stu] Anyway, so we
are going to talk about
this effect now, I'm
gonna turn the camera on
in just a second, but
you all know Patrick,
he was on one of my earlier videos,
if you don't know him just
yet, you will soon enough,
'cause his link is in the description.
He has done some tutorials or no?
- [Patrick] I have a little bit.
- [Stu] Let's get into this explanation.
So what are we gonna do?
Okay, ready for it.
Jesus man, I said this
is a serious channel,
we gotta be serious on it.
- [Patrick] I'm not feeling too good.
(laughs)
- [Stu] Alright, so we are
back with the explanation,
honestly, this always
fools me when I see it
'cause I can't get my head
around where the aces are
or where they're being
placed where your hands are,
so it's a very illogical but
logical at the same time.
I knew a version of this that I used to do
for the longest time but it was very weird
because you had to do
weird things with it,
I do not believe that version
but this is much better.
- [Patrick] This is basically
based on the same idea,
and a lot of time, that
extra hand move in there
will make sense so that's
why I kinda came up
with a little variation
of how to displace cards
and it happens in the
spectator's hands too.
- [Stu] Yeah, so very
cool, so let's go ahead,
it's very easy to learn.
- [Patrick] Very easy.
- [Stu] Let's learn it,
take it behind the back,
learn it exactly as you need to,
there's only really one move to do.
- [Patrick] Riffle force.
- [Stu] That's it, and get
to the explanation, let's go.
- [Patrick] Alright, so for this trick,
all you need is just four aces,
I originally published
this on my DVD "Patrified",
teaching you guys for free, and this trick
is actually probably the
easiest trick I've ever created.
So very easy, no sleight
of hands really required.
So first you need four
aces, they will go on top,
and then you're gonna pick up about half,
and all you have to do
is just count two cards
into the middle, and hold pinky break.
So at this point, we have two aces on top,
and two aces in the middle
with the pinky break on top,
so now the only move you really have to do
is the riffle force.
So you're gonna ask him to say stop,
you're gonna riffle down
before that little gap there,
so you're gonna make sure
you don't expose that,
push down with your thumb, they say stop,
and you're gonna pretend
to pick up from there,
but you're actually picking
up from the pinky break.
Okay, so basically when you pick it up,
these will be two aces.
Right there.
So boom, pick it up, you
put it down on the table,
and this is very important,
like you wanna make sure
that you condition them
to do a certain layout
for the move at the end.
So you wanna place this
kinda in the middle
in front of you but not too far.
So imagine there's one,
two, three spot here,
you wanna place it in
the middle spot here.
You ask them to cut, so when they cut,
we have two aces here, doesn't matter,
we can replace them later,
and then from your hand,
they're gonna cut down over here.
Okay, so now we have two
aces here, and two aces here.
The objective of this is
I have to secretly somehow
transfer one ace to here and
then one ace from here to here.
And you do that with two
hand at the same time.
With my left hand, I'm going to come over,
and grab the closest packet to you,
you're gonna pick it up like
this, pick up the first ace,
the same time, I'm
reaching over to pick up
the furthest one from me,
and so you turn this over,
you wanna make sure that you
separate it away from the deck.
And this is like time
misdirection, because at the end,
when you pick this up, this
card is going to become the card
from this packet, and this
card I'm gonna go simply drop
on a second packet.
So I'm gonna pick it up,
you're going to act surprised
a little bit, you can
show it to them, like wow,
you cut to four aces, I
mean cut to two aces first.
As you relax, so first I
pick it up, boom, like this,
I relax, and now I drop both hand together
and at the same time I
displace the ace of heart
into a second packet like this.
And from there, I can just really cleanly
turn over this one,
and I just tell them to turn
over the last one themselves,
they turn over, and that's the ace, okay?
So I'm gonna do it one
more time real quick,
and gonna make it easier, I'm gonna use
just a different color back,
so you can kinda follow the aces,
but once again, the
aces start from the top,
I cut one, two, have break,
stay stop, doesn't matter where,
you pick up at the pinky break,
this goes down in the middle,
so imagine one, two, three,
you're gonna put it in the middle,
they cut over here, and what
I like to do is I use my hand
to kinda guide them where to cut to.
So they cut here, and they cut here.
At this point, two hand come
over, pick this up, display,
drop, display this one,
and then from here,
you can turn over the last card.
Now a quick little idea
that if you want to make it
even more fair, is that you
can have them shuffle the cards
from beginning.
So for example, let's just use four kings,
or actually just use aces,
we already have them here.
So you can already have
these on top set up,
I normally give them a box,
you can do a trick beforehand,
and then you get ready for the four aces.
I have a pinky break here,
and instead of palming,
you can actually use the
box to hold out the aces,
because I think this
trick is also very strong
when they can shuffle the cards
before I cut to four aces.
So aces up here, have a pinky break,
as I pick up the box from them,
you basically just transfer the aces here
into the bit of where we're
calling position right here.
So pick it up, pick it up here,
and you give them the deck
back, so to free up their hand,
they mix up the cards,
and when they finish,
basically just bring it
back, load the aces back,
put the box away, and now
you can get into the position
to cut to four aces once again.
And here, boom, boom boom, just like that.
Very simple, very easy to do.
- [Stu] Alright, guys, there you have it,
that was the explanation
of the four ace cutting
routine, very cool trick,
very fooling, and it's
simple, and if anybody knows
the type of magic that I like
to do, we were joking before
'cause we were trying to come up with,
we had an effect that we
wanted to do for this--
- [Patrick] Turned out to
be way too complicated.
- [Stu] It was so complicated,
we had cover passes mixed in
with tilts, mixed in with--
- [Patrick] Double sided card.
- [Stu] Oh, man, that
was a headache in a hat.
But regardless, what I like
about this is that it's simple,
it's straight to the point,
and it seems super fair
'cause the spectator does it.
- [Patrick] Yeah, it
happens in their hands.
- [Stu] So any time that
you can do an effect
when the spectator does
it, or it feels like
they're a part of it, I think
that's that much more strong
and more powerful for the spectator.
Any other tips or little bonus
ideas that you do with this?
- [Patrick] And basically you
don't have to cut to four aces
before card revelation,
you can use a serial number
on the back of a bill, you can match it--
- [Stu] Yeah, so it doesn't
have to be like just four aces
if it doesn't go with you,
so you could have forced
four cards, control it,
then maybe do the palm
technique with the box,
and then have the spectator
cut to the four cards.
- [Patrick] Exactly, now if you don't want
to have the spectator cut the cards,
you can actually do it as a demonstration
of that you just cut to four aces.
- [Stu] If you don't have spectators,
but if you can't find
anybody to perform for,
which is a problem for
a lot of magicians--
- [Patrick] Like us.
- [Stu] Like us.
We have each other.
What can you do, can you
do it just by yourself?
- [Patrick] You can just do it,
I think it's always better
to do with spectators--
- [Stu] So instead of just spectator cuts,
you just cut it, that's it.
You just do it in the mirror.
Or you just do it on video for Youtube.
- [Patrick] Sure.
- [Stu] There you go.
That's all you need to know.
Alright, before we go, if you have made it
to the end of the video, we
have a little surprise for you,
a little treat for sticking around.
Patrick gave me a new deck of cards,
and tell us a little it about this.
- [Patrick] Yeah, so this is
called state playing cards.
- [Stu] This is the home
shopping network now.
(laughs)
- [Patrick] It's 100 percent
fully custom and it kinda gears
toward people that like to
travel, so it's kinda more fun
and more colorful than other
decks that I've produced.
- [Stu] I love the color by the way,
so I don't know if you can see this here,
but the color on this deck is super dope.
- [Patrick] It's like a
bright tiffany blue-ish color.
- [Stu] I love the deck, and
I put stuff on this channel
that I like, so we'll
do like a discount code.
- [Patrick] So like 10 percent.
- [Stu] 10 percent, so this is
the discount code, pandrea10.
- [Patrick] That's it, pandrea10.
- [Stu] So if you use
pandrea10 at patrickkun.com,
you will get these decks
at a nice little discount.
- [Patrick] Woo hoo!
- [Stu] That's all we gotta say.
