My personal take on the "10 levels" format, but applied to sleight-of-hand. Enjoy!
NOTE:
This is NOT meant to be an instructional video on how to cheat at cards or on how to protect yourself from cheating. Don't watch this video and then try this stuff in a game or think you can’t be cheated. I make these videos for entertainment so that people can more deeply appreciate the craft and the art of sleight-of-hand. If you find this stuff interesting, go check out the work of people like Steve Forte, Jason England, Richard Turner, Darwin Ortiz, and Jason Ladanye. If you want to learn how to protect yourself at the card table, check out “Casino Game Protection,” “Poker Protection,” and “Gambling Protection Series” by Steve Forte and “Gambling Scams” by Darwin Ortiz.
CREDITS:
This performance draws inspiration and sequences from the following routines: various parts of Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants, “The Ultimate Card Shark” in “Darwin Ortiz at the Card Table,” “Power Play” in “Game Changer” by Jason Ladanye, “Return of the Ultimate Card Shark” in “Down Under Deals” by Andrew Wimhurst, and “A Gambling Routine” in “Drawing Room Deceptions” by Guy Hollingworth.

As a former professional poker dealer that’s dealt around the world I can say this is tens of thousands of hours of practice. I’ve seen good mechanics before but I’m absolutely floored by this. I’ve never seen anything close to this level. Amazing.

[@tappajaav]

Can you do any of these? Do the tricks get exponentially harder higher you go in level? How much practice do you think all the individual levels require?

[@criticalthought8709]

@@tappajaav I can do some cool-ish things at a poker table to add some excitement to the game but nothing close to this. Look up Richard Turner, he’s the best mechanic in the world. The guy can feel each individual card while he’s shuffling and he’s 100% legit. He practiced for tens of thousands of hours to be able to do it.
