my life is a lie

I thought of the 4 of clubs when he asked her to pick a card. must be subliminal messaging

Oh god, it's Milk Guy from Misfits

I keep replaying the one at 4:13. The way the camera is angled, you can't see the cards for a split second while he's turning them over but I cannot grasp how the fuck it's done.

gaming up the watch move was so obvious it hurt the last tricks were great though

His [url=https://www.youtube.com/user/skateakboard/]Youtube channel[/url] has a few tricks on it if anybody wants more.

The one where it appears in her watch is easy. You see at the start when he positions her hands, he puts a folded card under her watch. From then on, he makes her maintain the same hand position until the "magic" happens. Really he just makes sure that the card he shows to the audience is the same as the card he put under her watch

The only three card monte trick I can find is the one where you throw the cards, I'm able to do it after a little bit of practice (I do some card tricks myself) but I can't for the life of me figure out how he is doing it other than having a rigged deck, which I hope he doesnt.

I like this guy more than dynamo. Who I am sure fakes his tricks.

The 3 card trick; has the cards where they can switch faces if you push and slide them on to other cards

Just look when he starts doing the 3 card tricks, there is ALWAYS one card in his hand that he never flips over, and he plays with the other one sided one a lot to give the illusion that he is flicking them both around and showing both sides of them. The rest of his tapping, rubbing, flicking the cards etc is just showmanship. Look at 4:27ish. When he's shuffling the Queen and the 4 together, he holds them both facing upwards with the 4 at the back, he flips them over quickly and then suddenly the back card is still a 4 facing up, because that card also has a queen on the back. For a terrible illustration because I can't be bothered to get photoshop out, imagine the '|' is the hand and you are looking on from the right hand side, able to see the faces of both cards at all times. He finishes shuffling them around on this combination, where all you can see is a Queen in front and 4 on the back > [B]| F-FQ[/B] He then flips both cards (You can clearly see he flips both in the video), the front card gets flipped and put at the back, so its 4 is visible, and the upside down card is the 4 he had before the flip. [B]| QF-F[/B] You can even see the double sided card when he puts it in her hand before it. At 4:26ish he flips the two face up cards over to put one on her hand, both of the cards over her hand should be facing down but you can clearly see that the back one he pulls away from her hand was the middle 4 which had then turned into a Queen. At 5:17 is probably the most obvious, he literally just flips the card over right infront of you and pretty much shows that its double sided.

Basically this guy has mastered the art of flawless slight of hand

It's okay but it isn't no Penn & Teller.

[QUOTE=Aide;44447755]It's okay but it isn't no Penn & Teller.[/QUOTE] They've got a few decades on him though.

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;44447775]They've got a few decades on him though.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I don't really like card tricks as it's a cheap illusion.

Well gentlemen it appears we have good old fashion witch hunt on our hands. I'll get the pitchforks, and you get the fire.
