Hi there all you lovers of magical entertainment.
My name is Othmarius and welcome to my channel.
Today I want to show you guys a super easy
to do, self working but quite impressive card
trick, which is basically idiot proof. Thats
right! Although they say: Make it idiot proof
and some will make a better idiot. But not
you, right?
Now this trick is just alrightfor everyone, who just wants to learn a card
trick for fun. But it´  s also worth studying
for everybody, who wants to get a little bit
deeper into card magic, which you will realize,
if you follow me along here, hopefully. All
you need for this trick is just a deck of
cards. Any deck will do. It does not even have to have all the cards in there. also you need
one person, that know how to riffle shuffle a deck of cards. Now it does not need to be
a Riffle Shuffle in Air, though there is absolutely no excuse for you guys, not knowing how to
do this, because I have got a very neat tutorial
on this one up and running on my channel.
So go check it out! Now before we get started
here and I show you how to perform this very
trick, please watch the performance video
first, because it is essential, when it comes
to learning magic, even if you just want to
learn one or another trick, to always remember
the sensation, the wonder, the astonishment
of the effect. You have to be able to impersonate
the magic, when it´s about to happen. Otherwise
you gonna suck big time, even if you pull
of the greatest of all stunts. So click that
link right now, opens up in another tab, watch
the performance and then come back right here.
But be aware, it´s an older video of mine,
so don´t expect too much, however it should
do the job. Now go watch!
Hey there, you cameback! That´s awesome! And me, I am not wearing
a cap anymore, I´m aware about that. This
is how we role. Any deck, any time and I brought
my invisible friend here as a dummy for your
spectator. Because you are to even going to
touch the deck performing this trick. Instead
you´re going to give instructions, of course
to a spectator, who knows how to do a Riffle
Shuffle. This is a self working card trick,
which means, you just have to follow the procedure
correctly and it will work. So let me walk
you through that step by step. Well then my
invisible friend, would you please take now
this deck of cards… Are you shitting me?
Step number one! Have the cards shuffled,
because shuffling cards in a performance of
card magic is jut common sense. And if you
are an absolute beginner in card magic, you
should start with the Overhand Shuffle, because
that´s just an amazing tool for a lot of
card tricks. Step number two. Have the deck
cut now into three piles and this can be totally
random. It really does not matter. just have
them cut into there piles. Step number three!
Now blindfold yourself and turn around, or
just turn around and skip the blindfolding.
Or just close your eyes. Anyways! Point is,
that you are not going to see, what the spectator
is about to choose. Step number four! Have
a spectator now select one top card from one
of the piles. Step number five! Have the spectator
memorize the card and also show the card to
other members of the audience. So that no
one can play you for a fool later on. Remember?
You can´t see any of this. Any they will
try to tear your apart any chance you give
them, because they are animals. Step number
six! Have the spectator now replace the card,
and we are rolling here with an Ace of Clubs,
onto any of those piles. It really doesn´t
matter which one it is and you are not looking
any ways! Step number seven! Have the spectator
now turn this very pile over with all cards
face up. And step number eight! Have the spectator
place this pile with all them cards face up
onto one of the other two packs. And step
number nine! Have the spectator place the
remaining pile on top of the construction.
And finally steps ten and elven! The deck
gets a neat Riffle Shuffle. Whoever wants
to do this, can do it! And a final table cut.
Et voila! The card is completely lost in the
deck and the performer, who had just given
instructions most of the time probably standing
with the back to the audience, has no clue,
where the card is in the deck. Deos he? You
bet so, although the secret to that one feels
kind of stupid. Because now you´re going
to take over control again after giving all
the instructions performing this trick and
you will turn the deck around. That´s very
important! Turn it around and then spread
it onto the table, which displays for a non
initiated spectator just a completely mixed
up deck of cards. However you will know how
to read the signs. We are looking now for
the longest row of face up cards in the spread.
And since that the two ends of the spread
could be connected, picture a circle here,
we find the pretty long row to my left growing
even longer to my right, if that was a circle,
which tells us, that this card here is the
selection, the Ace of Clubs, because the target
card is always the first face down card left
to the longest row of face up cards. The first
face down card left side from the longest
row of cards face up! Now shall we see, if
that is actually true? Let´s have a look
here. And the card is … the Ace of Clubs!
Now the really important thing here, is…
What is this now? Seriously the 1500 subscribers
special right now? Guys, I'm in the middle
of explaining something! You know what, I
fix myself a coffee. You want one, too? Very
well! Coffee for everybody! Excuse me please,
sorry sorry! So the final phase of this trick
is all about the showmanship. It's all about
how you fish the selection out of the spread.
The presentation I did with the clicking sounds
is just one example how to do this. A very
funny one however! Because especially children
or stoner become very adorable when they try
to identify the differences between the clicking
sounds. You don't know, what I'm talking about
right now? Well maybe you should have watched
the performance video. Here is one alternative
of presenting the effect, which is also a
great way of practicing the magicians choice.
So you have been through steps 1 to 11. You
took over control again. And turned the deck
around, just to spread the cards onto the
table. Now - randomly, „randomly“ choose
three cards out of the deck with one card
face up and two cards face down. Of course
one card being the selection. Okay!? First
you get rid of the card face up by doing some
face reading. Okay? „Is this your card?
Oh he has been blinking with his eyes two
times! That's not his card.“ And then comes
the magicians choice. Have the spectator to
choose one of the cards. And if he chooses
the selection, well then it's a miracle! If
he doesn't choose the selection. Well just
get rid of the card and it's still a miracle!
And there you have it. Now this is as easy
as it gets. But that's not a bad thing. This
trick enables you to concentrate, to focus
100% onto the presentation onto you showmanship
skills, which is one of the most underestimated
things new days, which is a shame. Everybody
