10 Levels of Sleight of Hand (Version 2.0)

[@cheyguy1211]

I love that level 3 is controlling the entire deck. Has me thinking by level 7 he's going to be in my house showing me how to perform surgery with the cards. Amazing videos as always

[@retireddrumlegend]

had the same thought lmao

[@dd22qq]

Sterilise. Always sterilise.

[@UncleJoeLITE]

lmao yeah.

[@naterthetat3r496]

Just want to say that you inspired me about half a year ago to get into magic and I have been studiously practicing and honing my skills ever since. Despite this you still manage to baffle and impress me both with your tricks and your presentation. Thank you Daniel.

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

@NaterTheTat3r Just want to say that I'm inspired by your inspiration that you received from the very inspiring Daniel Roy... I now identify as a can of tuna. Thank you.

[@firejuggler31]

Level 11: Stacking cans of tuna

[@cbn1362]

Where did you start learning card tricks?

[@TMC_TimeLine]

I just cannot get over the second deal. It's so unbelievably clean that it just looks like you grab a card out of thin air

[@DanielRoyMagic]

:)

[@somerandomdude8837]

For me it just looks like he glitches his hand through the first card and then pulls the other out

[@aneonfoxtribute]

Legit, I slowed it down and zoomed in and I still couldn't see him grab the second card.

[@mattprueter9231]

That center deal is legit just magic, amazing dedication to your craft sir

[@DanielRoyMagic]

thank you!

[@Joel-pi6tg]

Both versions of the 10 levels of Sleight of Hand are extremely impressive. I really like all of the methods that were used in both videos.

[@TSfish94]

For what it’s worth, I stumbled across that video by pure accident and thought “okay yeah that looks interesting enough.” Then I decided to try to learn some basic card handling and now I have a small bag of tricks to entertain my kids and my coworkers. All that to say, thank you for getting KZbin algorithmed to me.

[@FrancescoDiMauro]

Never thought it could be possibile to have such control over cards, I can only imagine how much time and effort it would take to reach such a skill. Chapeau!

[@FPSEli]

Started watching magic vids in 2020. Stumbled across your channel a few months ago. You inspired me to pickup Card College Vol 1 (also picked up J.B. Bobo's "Modern Coin Magic"). I'm not going to attempt to be a great magician, I just want to learn something interesting and have fun! Keep up the good work!

[@DanielRoyMagic]

glad the videos inspired you!

[@jwill294]

@@DanielRoyMagic your videos have also inspired me… to never try magic because I can just watch the Master Daniel Roy for free

[@leonardsmith9870]

What I love about your style is that you don't rush what you're doing and it flows so naturally. I see way too many sleight of hand artists blitz out their moves as fast as possible which just makes it hard to follow, especially for someone that doesn't know what's going on.

[@teknoxjr]

Been watching you for over a year. Incredible talent and inspiration! Jaw dropping stuff. Thanks and keep it coming

[@lNTERESTlNG]

This dude is so good at pulling out cards even Seto Kaiba wouldn’t believe it.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

it's not possible! :)

[@misterblank7795]

Nice to see a fellow Yugioh player

[@ericprothero9412]

I think your verbal skills are almost as impressive as your card skills - just as precise.

[@davidtydeman1434]

This requires an enormous amount of practice 👏👏👏👏👏

[@thejohnstonzoo]

I've watched your videos so many times, I should be a master by now. But, I'm still a sleight-of-hand chump. You're skills are so amazing, even when I know what you're doing (I think), I'm still amazed every time. So smooth - so perfect. Wow.

[@VelvetPumpkinVideos]

I'm blown away by your card skills. Keep posting.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Thank you! Will do!

[@chiparooo]

Glad you shared this. Even though your talent is next level, makes you think before playing cards for money. To any non-believers, it’s real. No camera tricks, just premium magic tricks. Count yourself lucky to have seen this. Thanks for sharing!

[@towellight9400]

Great video as always Daniel. Glad your still pumping those sub numbers. Crazy your first version of this has 3.5m views. And your shorts are killing it. One with 10M and another with 7.3M. As I said previously (in my first comment on your channel I believe), you've got a great presence and handle yourself great in front of the camera. I believe that you're only getting better and better at it as well over the years. Always great to see new videos from you and I hope your live shows are a blast for you to perform, as I'm sure it is a completely different thrill from just making KZbin videos.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

thank you so much!

[@Eidenhoek]

I will never not enjoy the non-top shuffles. I start laughing every time, because I can't see what's happening in realtime. It's magical, and it's *hilarious*.

[@cervantes125]

Daniel - I’m curious about what teaching older people to do card tricks would do to help with the decline of mental acuity and motor skills. As you are a scientist, it might be worth a look. If that doesn’t interest you, just keep doing these awesome videos. Please!

[@Ace-3.]

God bless everyone and have a good day,

[@jwill294]

His misdirections is literally so good, then when he looks up at the camera, I look at his gaze instead of his hands lmao and I know he GOT ME

[@nez14526]

Is there even any misdirection? The closest thing to it is the false dealing, but the rest (and even the false dealing) is just sheer control.

[@XixyLeasor]

There's no misdirection, it's purely skill. You clearly don't understand anything at all.

[@lilyofluck371]

​@@XixyLeasor Misdirecting someone by gaze is misdirection. Even if it isn't purposeful, this comment proves there _is_ misdirection in this video.

[@fartkerson]

@@lilyofluck371 I think the point is that his control of the deck does not require misdirection. Misdirection is only relevant if the trick requires it, but he doesn't need to misdirect you because his control is flawless. It's not really a debate about misdirection but the validity of misdirection versus control.

[@lainewiens]

Truly outstanding again! I really love those moves! I’m going to try and learn one of them. Wish me luck on the next 70 years of my life.

[@elliottmagic]

Im a magician and I know nearly all these techniques but nevertheless you still melt my brain

[@naggarothz7097]

Watched the original 2 years ago and I'm happy to watch this one today. Wish you the best !

[@luchaput9009]

Beautiful!!!!! You are truly a master at sleight of hand!

[@cablekibble2942]

Glad to see the return to form! I much prefer these routines over the simple yt shorts.

[@ryanscott3261]

When level 2 already seems insane it's intimidating to say the least

[@wilbme99]

You're awesome, man. I've always been impressed by sleight of hand, and your original 10 Levels video absolutely blew my mind. It's wild people ever doubted you. Wouldn't be a very good trick if it were video editing, but I guess it's healthy to maintain a level of skepticism about what one sees online!

[@redace4821]

I've been watching your videos for years but doesn't matter how many time I watch, is always smooth af.

[@marto5372]

Could watch these all day such an elegant way of cuts & controls only thing is missing is a glass of whiskey on the side and you wearing a suit ♥️

[@KimiiiRaikkonen]

People posting comments like it's fake. I think that's just because they don't understand that this is actually possible. I see and understand all of the "tricks" you do in this video. Which is not the point of the video, it's not about the magic part. It's about the sleight of hand part which you do clearly describe. What's amazing is how well executed this is, it looks so natural and with confidence. It's like seeing somebody really good with an instrumental. You understand what's happening. But most people would not be able to do it. I'll just sit back and appreciate the work. I appreciate you describing what you do as you do it. Center deals or second bottom deals would not be that impressive if we did not know you did it. I remember this video from 2 years ago, I thought in the start this is the same video, but the title don't match. it says way too new of a date and 2.0. It all become clear when you told it in the end :) !

[@samsparks7239]

Your videos always give me some sort of stress headache by the end but I can't get enough. I want to learn!

[@DanielRoyMagic]

mission accomplished haha

[@trip2belize]

your center deal is flawless.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

thanks :)

[@JanoutMM]

Agreed 110%

[@thatrobotguy7963]

You don't even need to call this magic because it is so genuinely impressive how well controlled the cards are.

[@Davlavi]

Beautiful!!!!! You are truly a master at sleight of hand! Always a mazing the watch.

[@Sku11Hax]

I really like your take on magic, playing on the teaching aspect whilst amazing me as a viewer. You definitely possess sleight of hand.

[@w3sp]

Smooth Daniel. Smooth.

[@UncleJoeLITE]

I loved both videos, watched them back to back. Seriously, I need to learn at least one of these skills, but not to show off lol.

[@alveolate]

to fully assuage all those doubters talking about camera tricks, you could get a few continuously moving elements running in frame of your shot, like an analog clock face, lava lamp, or even a buncha hamsters in a glass tank. heck, get a disco ball and some moving coloured lights that hit all the other moving elements, generating unpredictable combinations, allowing some of the randomised backlight to illuminate your hands and even the cards too. level 11: subvert all these expectations and incorporate actual camera tricks into the sleight of hand while emphasising all of the anti-camera-trick implements.

[@namsmagic]

So Incredible, I love your tricks

[@Nomad_Skateboarding]

This is one of my favorite effects to perform. Well done on your handling 👏

[@jasonkaczynski8218]

I'm glad you posted that first video I love your work and magic in general makes my entire day a little bit better.

[@ajcassassin3479]

When you shuffle at the start with the cards sideways it’s not like a riffle shuffle with the bridge and idk how you do it? Can you do a tutorial please? I really wanna learn how! I’m new to magic

[@STEVEBURTON99]

Thank you, Daniel! Very, very enjoyable and entertaining. Your videos always leave me with a big smile. And they are enjoyable to watch more than once, too. I've been a fan of close-up magic for a long time. Many years ago I had a chance to see Ricky Jay perform close-up and I've never forgotten it. I've been a fan of sleight-of-hand ever since. Wish we lived on the east coast; we'd love to come to one of your shows. May you have a stellar life-long career in magic that makes you very happy.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Thank you very much!

[@alfredadler3328]

​@@DanielRoyMagic It looks so easy to me, when you play the cards. Well done.

So are you keeping track of all the cards from the last time you saw the entire deck?

[@BNL07604]

Love this, so much!

Wow this is so impressive. How much practice does this take? Must have 10k hours at least

About twice that :)

Big Ricky Jay vibes during your explanations, great work

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Wow, thanks!

[@lNTERESTlNG]

Legend has it my dad never came home with the milk because he was actually in Daniel Roy’s poker hand.

[@anonymous-od3de]

You can’t do like this!!! After your first version, it took me 15 months to find source and learn everything to do that routine. Now that “level 8” will give me a hard time again.

[@anonymous-od3de]

Btw, everything always look very clean. Thanks for inspiration.

[@clintoruss153]

My question is what state is the deck in when he starts these amazing shuffles, like for instance if I handed him a shuffled deck where he had no idea which card was where, he obviously couldn’t do this then . How does he arrange or prepare the deck to begin this “magic”

[@yekevin]

Beautiful video! Well performed but also interesting and with good flow :)

[@cherub412]

Could you maybe show how the trick is done?. I'd really like to learn it.

Yk what also blows my mind? How do you do that spread? Usually I've seen people do it with the index finger but you do it with pressure somewhat? Tips?

[@goldensea03idk51]

Just an amazing video

[@jeffstout77]

Nice work!

[@KinnereyB]

Well done 👍 You have absolutely no tells in your false deals. Perfect rhythm. But can you deal 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths? 🧐 I bet you can. IMO, fluidly going from a 5th, to a 4th, to a 3rd, to a 2nd deal (each # ending up in whatever hand we want) is harder than even a genuine center (which I still don’t do as fluidly as you…I just do pseudo centers and Greek or bottom deal them).

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Great suggestion!

[@KinnereyB]

@@DanielRoyMagic It’s an awesome technique! Bc it allows for you to have a simple 4 of a kind stack on top, deal to however many players your spectator(s) name, then you can cleanly deal yourself the aces from the top of the deck! I’m still working on mastery (do we ever achieve TOTAL mastery?), but the tried and true” larger motion covering the smaller motion” applies here and is a huge asset with this technique! I just see your skills with a deck of cards and figured you would either know it and have put the work in, or with your 2nd deal as good as it is, it won’t be too hard for you to get to 5ths, 4ths, 3rds, and 2nds fluidly! Have fun and keep up the great work! It’s nice to see a REAL lover of card magic perform 💯
