Lovely idea! 💡 Have you done this reveal before?

Great question! Do you?

The last doesn’t equal ten, it will cut to the card in the stack that will finish the equation. Have you tried it yet?

Did you learn the trick?

Ideally you want to guide them. But if you miss the number of cards cut, you can still do the prediction. So you can proceed and you have a sure fire hit at the end. 👍 what do you think?

Then I wish you happiness. Life is too short not to find joy in every moment.

@MattMcGurk so, I just keep on shuffling the cards?

Hey Jonathan, no I believe my membership has expired. However my intention here is not to expose but to inspire. Through my courses and videos I have introduced thousands of people to magic who are now enjoying in our wonderful art. If we close our gates to everyone, how do we grow? This is done with love and not with the effort of exposing and discrediting the art. I love magic way too much for that. ❤️

@MattMcGurk ye sorry wasn't having a go just presumed that was all and the fire spike trick u did with yr assistants they identical twins and wud love to get a assistant myself but can't find any lol any suggestions lol

Thanks buddy! Will you be performing it.

Thanks Mark. Yes lots of mental Misdirection here!

@ Yep I really like this one as it's so simple to do yet packs such a good punch. And to be able to do it more than once and change the prediction is absolutely killer as it then makes their brains become even more frazzled!! 😂 I did this for my 11 year old son and he's seriously bright and I thought I'd let the cat out of the bag as he's a maths wizard and the first thing he said when shuffling the cards is "It looks like there's a lot more red cards here!" Now he is absolutely top of the class for maths and can perform lightning fast calculations that leave me honestly speechless but I thought this may have been some sort of Rain Man type of thing so had to ask him about it because I was thinking if someone does have that sort of power then they probably wouldn't tell anyone about it because they'd just think that's normal and everyone does it. Turns out he's not a Rain Man (still amazing at maths though) it was because I'd been impressing myself with the trick all night I'd not shuffled them well enough before showing him and so there were a fair few of the reds clumped together at the start of the deck! 😂 What a numpty I am!! 😂 That said he didn't get what was going on and especially when I did it the second time which totally floored him. I used the card box to have the four black cards in it and put the cards away in the box and then said "Shall I do it one more time?" He wanted to do it again as he said but we'll just get the same thing happen again though won't we? Nope! That definitely helped floor him 😂

Thanks buddy!

My Pleasure. Are you a magician?

Did you try it? how did it go?

Let me know how it goes!

Jokers will work either way buddy. It’s up to you. 👍

I believe it came out to 21 cards left, but I would’ve told the person they would be 20. Not sure what I did wrong.

No worries David. Jacks are 11, Queens 12 and Kings 13. Give it a go and let me know how you get on. 👍

I guess I’m not sure on how to explain to the person I’m doing the trick to why Jack is worth 11 or Queen is 12 when I’m adding up the three piles. ? I’ve been practicing though I rarely pull the face card and can’t wait to try this on someone now .Thank very much for sharing this great trick and for a novice and makes me look like a master 😂

Never mind, I’m a dummy I just realized I tell them the third pile is one through 13 ace to King. And thanks again for your reply, I Wasn’t expecting one.👍

Yes that’s an awesome idea! The position can also be altered by showing the spectator how to deal the cards and secretly position the card into the number the spec cut at. What do you think?

Well yes! Because now this is everywhere thanks to you guys 😱🙌🚀🙏. Will you be performing it?

No way man! If you can shuffle you can do this trick. Just needs a bit of presentation and you like a pro. Does it put you off?

Hi Matt. Thanks for the reply. Just looked a lot harder to pull off than I was expecting. Great trick, though.

@ No way man, you got this! Have you done any tricks before?

You just need a partner to pull this off, because what if the spectator cut 10 cards or less, then the trick can not be done

Thanks Trevor! Glad you’re enjoying it. Are you new to the channel?

@@MattMcGurk yes new to your channel , use to dj , was working in a holiday park , the guy doing the magic , his brother did not turn up so i help with one show in a suit that was double my size , could see how certain magic was done , he said the worse ones to fool were the children , i will tractice that trick and try to get as good as you regards

Three weeks! Awesome bro, what made you start?

Awesome!! Why the jack?

I think reveals are always best handled by you (the performer) as it makes for a smoother well timed reveal at the end. That’s the big moment and we don’t want it to be spoiled by the spec dropping the cards all over the floor do we! 😂 Have you seen the original version of this trick?

"WHAT if you cut one card less," this part we need a setup SPECTATOR to say, like in pretending to bring that up, that would be more smooth in revealing

@@MattMcGurk No I haven't seen the original trick, maybe I should. :D And yeah, fair enough, you're definitely right about delivery and timing. I guess I've never done any professional work or work in front of large groups, so I love tricks that involve untouched decks or stacks of cards to use in small groups with my family and friends (that all play card games anyway) so I always use tricks that end with them opening up untouched decks that I've already preassembled for that kind of magical "how in the hell?" look they give me. I'm definitely planning to do this one and see what works. My favorite trick to do is to have a preset deck of red or blue cards with just one card of another color that are never touched. I always have the forced card be a different color in the untouched preset deck for the reveal. I agree with you that it doesn't matter that it gives away that it's a force, as it's just such a powerful ending for most non-magicians. That all said, one of my favorite tricks is one I made myself with a card control that ends with the original deck and original card the spectator chose (that I forced on them) being a different color too, which I do with a few simple culls and a triple lift, and proceeding with them searching the untouched deck before finally going back to the original deck and finding the card they originally picked has seemingly changed its card backing somehow. I got pretty good at doing a triple lift for another trick and realized it could be used to do some powerful effects that even magicians won't necessarily spot. Similar to how Dai Vernon's simple use of a double backer revolutionized his ACR, a triple lift can (sort of) do the same thing and catch even a magician (or someone familiar with a few card tricks and forces) off guard.

Hola amigo! Gracias! Where in Spain are you, anywhere near Cadiz?

Hola Matt, no soy de Cádiz. Allí voy en verano a sus playas magníficas. Un abrazo y felicidades por tu canal.

@@fjrd845 Thanks man! Did you knw that Juan Tamariz lives in Cadiz and has a magic academy there?

Just streaming buddy, there be too many pirates out there -yaaarrrr 🏴‍☠️

You do get lifetimes access though and can access from any device. The app will track your progress and you get new tricks every time I update the course. It’s the best deal out there!!

Hi from the UK! 🇬🇧 I mean it’s possible, but you can control the pile with the shuffle, shuffling more or less cards and watching for them they are going to say stop. I’ve never had a problem with this, so I wouldn’t let it out you off. Where in Holland are you from buddy?

@@MattMcGurk Born in Amsterdam, but now living in the south close to Eindhoven. And I will practice with the control of the piles/shuffle 👍🏻😁

@ awesome man, I love Holland! Let me know how the practice goes!

Jokers don’t matter, you can leave them in or out. It will still work. 👍 Do you normally take them out?

You can reveal the prediction anyway you choose. The extra deck is nice, I think you should grab one and invest in yourself, you deserve it! It if not, you can always have it written on the card box or do the Instagram thing. You got this bro 👊

Awesome man! Welcome to the channel. Are you a magician or just have an interest in magic?

Thanks Wolfgang! Are you new to the channel?

Thanks so much 🙏

yup, that would work fine! Do you think the spectator would question that?

Hola amigo!

Thanks man, Belfast is amazing! 🤩

Totally possible! Do you know how to that?

Yes I always like to choose a trick that has multiple climaxes. So much more satisfying! What is your fave ending for ambitious card?

Because it’s a force, it doesn’t necessarily need an ID. it means that the other deck can be set up and used for multiple other tricks. There are pros and cons. t’s a really interesting idea! So would you then not force the card? What’s your thoughts on how to link the two?

@ Just pull the duplicate out of your wallet and save the Invisible deck for a random selected card.

@@kingrobert1st So as more of a floow up trick then? Special combo deal?

awesome! When did you start? Was it this channel that got you hooked?

Yes I always loved magic . It started when I got best magic tricks Marvin magic I watched you videos and started watching others and buying books love thanks so much for the channel can’t wait !!! For more

@ There will be lots to keep you busy. I used to work for Marvin’s magic. 🪄

Thanks so much!
