Card Trick Tutorial -The Elmsley Count [IMPROVED]

[@peon17]

I've just recently gotten into doing card tricks, and I've seen other tutorials on this move. This has thus far been the most useful. Very cleanly taught with beautiful presentation. Thank you for this video.

[@52kards]

So glad that it's helpful!

[@kira8838]

+52Kards dude this is good but how u gonna start the trick like when u start by holding just the 4 card or what hope u answr and keep up😄

[@daggerrussiardvelasquez5641]

Anwer you have to set it up, or you have to learn another skill, culling perhaps

[@kira8838]

+Dagger Russiard Velasquez ok thanks man you the best

[@kira8838]

+Dagger Russiard Velasquez can u do this trick with deck of card or just bysicle

[@joshuang6896]

Extremely well taught and organized Asad; even I have already did magic for quite some time this tutorial had brought some points that is crucial to a successful and well executed Elmsley Count. A practice tip to practice the Elmsley Count i want to add here is by starting with a 7 card packet face up, and Elmsley Count 4 cards; now ditch 1 card and do it again with 6. Continue to do the count and ditch cards every round. Upon reaching only 3 cards count them as if they are 4, same goes with only two cards. This exercise was suggested by Michael Ammar and I have found this to be the most effective to practice Emsley Count.

[@alejondelacruz5096]

you do it so well i cant even see the trick in slow mo. nice tutorial

[@mumbaikachallenge5526]

Love the time stamp for every chapter you have explained❤️

[@dannyhuang5930]

Asad u just simply have the best voice ever.... It makes me feel relaxed every time u talk. Another stunning, clear and detailed tutorial, u just earned a new subscriber :)

[@Nwl11]

Wow! This is why I really appreciate your videos. Not to brag, but I thought my Elmsley Count was near perfect but your pointer to the positioning of the index finger just immediately improved my technique by a ton! Thank you, Asad

[@strangetranceoffaith]

Dude I love your tutorials no messing just the content people want and done relaxed and seamlessly

[@stevesignorelli2885]

Hi, I’ve been Magic for years now but never managed to master the Elmsley count... thanks to your video I seem to be getting there! Very well explained! Now I just need a few routines for it 🙂😀😎

[@atharvadeuskar]

Wow...impressed with this tutorial Asad....not many tutorials here on KZbin teach this count effectively...Really like those cards!!

[@goyelle]

Your video is brilliant, the best I've watched. You explain so well, each time I understand with you. I managed to do immediately with your video! Thank you so much!

[@MyYuop]

I personally believe that you are the best magic teacher ever!!!!! Thank you so much for teaching me magic for the past few years! :)

[@derbeh]

Thank you for showing this from the performer’s point of view!

[@leowilson5414]

This is the best elmsley count tutorial ever

[@WhatAreYouBuyen]

Can the false count be used for money at the cash register?

[@EZNOOB6969]

Try it I mean why not

[@BillAnt]

Try it but don't tell the feds ;) xD

[@magicalmarvin7060]

WhatAreYouBuyen : I like the way you think! 💲🐲💲

[@brabhamfreaman166]

WhatAreYouBuyen Yep. Be sure to repeat the false count for the number of laws you’d be breaking while you’re at it.

[@patavinity1262]

In theory. Would take a lot of practice though, and fresh bills.

[@luckychucky3426]

You're the first one that explains it well great job I'm going to practice it until I get it perfect Thank you very much

[@andrewbaroch2141]

great detailed instruction at just the right pace to follow

[@celam1244]

This is the best tutorial i've found on this move. Thank you!

[@Kaigosu]

Great video! The Elmsley Count was one of the first moves I ever learned and a favorite of mine.

[@ETFabi]

i watched 10 tutorials about the elmsley count, and only this one helped me to perform it clean

[@sukiashi1]

Thanks! As usual, brilliantly explained!

[@Shadow_Men]

Awesome video, and the quality is much improved :) Can't wait for my Black Mint deck to arrive.

[@rigaskaro5992]

dude thanks a lot for that tutorial i watched an other tutorial for the elmsley count two years ago and i couldnt do it i watched yours and now i can do it very nice and easy thanks a lot keep up with the good work thumbs up you earned my sub long ago with your good work :)

[@mumbaikachallenge5526]

The Mirror thing is so fine saw if for the first time ❤️

[@rasmus101ful]

Beautiful deck!

[@jsmagic3427]

Your videos are incredibly good! Amazing how you keep producing high quality video's :)

[@baitd5181]

holy, You are a mentalist. Yesterday i went to my local card store and picked up a couple of decks. the owner then showed us a trick that involved the double lift and the elmsley count, after that i thought DAMN i want to learn that too. and went online and you upload this video. Thank you very much :) Keep on goin

[@FEDE80]

LOVE YOUUUUU ASAD!!!!!!!!!

[@pollekem6459]

When i learned this move I practised it so much I couldnt even normaly count the 4 cards. I kept hiding the 3rd :-)

[@petrchromcak6720]

That's really amazing move...

[@michaeljohnson6435]

I just noticed your almost to half a million subscribers!!! I've been here since 100,000!

[@TonyBrent]

Very well done!

[@RingJando]

Asad is BAD! Smooth operator. Thanks & continued success!

[@paddyh2180]

Fantastic video I wish I had found this video sooner, it would have made the re-swindled routine learning curve so much easier. Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into this video and for passing on your knowledge. One question though, are you left handed? I only ask as you hold the cards in the same way i would naturally pick them up and im left handed, a lot of tutorials im having to try and reverse everything im seeing and they are doing because of being a lefty.. it was a pleasure not to have to do that with this video 😂

[@mist_occur5561]

[@goatmomdreemurr5972]

This is a GREAT tutorial! You did a beautiful job

[@Riccardofin]

i love your intro😍

[@bonniefryberger6719]

thank you for this wonderful video it was very helpful

[@OlympicSmoker1]

Asad, when will you be shipping the black mints ?

[@abdulalshibly3930]

The first time I tried counting normally in the same way.I fooled myself only grabbed 3 cards but I had only 4 cards it's was funny and shows that this sleight can fool anyone even yourself

[@bwoopybopper1565]

Could you upload more routines? that would be awesome

[@KardSharp]

Hi Asad. Just to clarify...you are right handed correct? I ask because I have always done the Helmsley count holding the cards in my left hand and swiping with my right. I'm wondering if I just learned it backwards, (I'm right handed) or if there is a reason you do it from right to left?

[@52kards]

+Houston Curtis Hey Houston! Yes, I'm right handed. It's more efficient to pinch the cards in your right hand and swipe the cards using your left. This way the cards end on your default mechanics grip. If you have already spent a considerable amount of time practicing it in reverse then it's not the end of the world, but it is better form to start with the cards in your right hand.

[@duhbid6870]

I have a problem, swiping the first card...any tips

[@jonathanrubinov3571]

how much mint decks are you planning on producing or how much did you produce

[@BboyDMay]

Hello Asad! I like you chanel, like the way you teach. Thank you for tutorial and for your job you doing for us. So, there is my question: we always see your sleight of hands and it's good, but I think, that it will be interesting for us, for your students to see your skills in showing your sleight of hands to real spectator like a street magic videos. It's not necessarily to do it all time, but if you'll do it, for example, one in ten videos, it will be realy cool and informative. What do you think about it? P.s.: I'm not english speaking, so I hope I wrote it all right :)

[@sameulbari9255]

Can you please tell me where i can get the green board that you use in your videos, because i have no surfaces to work on. Also does it make a diffence as to which cards ylu use for this count, because I've practised with poor quality cards and cant seem to do it. Amazing Video, keep up the good work. 😄

[@nelsonliu1477]

You can find it on his website in the description

[@janneraisanen30]

hey! love your videos! but could you start mentioning that is the deck full plastic or not in your deck reviews? i would hate to waste money on cards that arenot full plastic

[@Irakli008]

I'm a righty, so I hold and handle cards in the same way that you do in all other scenarios, but I've learned to do this with the hands swapped (right hand being the counting hand). Will that have any sort of impact on trick routines and whatnot?

[@glenpolen5562]

Hello, im really confused. What is the difference between the Elmsly count. And yhe bittel grip? They both look the same. Abd they both look like they do the same thing? Can someone help? I can do the Bittel grip. I prefer it better, but im confused, coz i wonder if am i doing the Elmsly count and dont know it 🤔 . Thanks, Glen

[@loganwebb2591]

I love ur channel

[@tonytrinh1449]

May I ask how would you "clean" a deck of cards if it ever becomes clumpy or kinda sticky?

[@tonestones9445]

Great tuition. Just one question. Are you left handed. As a right hander myself it seems more obvious to count from left hand to right.?

[@monster762]

Alex Elmsley teaches left to right in his books, he performs it left to right and I believe he is right handed. I am right handed and I agree with you but I find it easier counting right to left.

[@munkhochirmunkhochir5783]

what was the trick they showed off using this move? changing their chosen rank cards by other rank while counting 4 with elmsley?

[@almulhim6011]

thanks for the toturial you are very advanced magician and i like you but can you make videos about *what is the best gaff deck

[@BrisingerBoss]

Invisible deck.

[@mr._zone]

Hey! I was wondering if there is a cool flourish or fast way to square up cards that are facing every direction (like after "washing" a deck)

[@leowilson5414]

You're the best

[@zendarkal5937]

Can you put a tutorial for some cardistry flourish

[@Henrique-ll1uv]

can you make a tutorial how to speak when we make a trick.. thanks.

[@peterimpossibleplays6463]

It may seem stupid, but I have the most problem picking the first card without flashing knocking the second one a bit, thus flashing the third one...

[@raulahti]

I have the exactly same problem but I think if I keep doing it long enough, problem disappears or I'll give up :) ... it's just a matter of training over and over and over again... just like anything else...

[@zppo121]

when is the mint deck coming out!

[@yopindara201]

what you use on your camera to record the video with your point of view?

[@joeharkins3025]

[@pravarjain5599]

Everything-Life u can buy the mirror on his site and thats a close up pad u can get that off amazon for 10$

[@wagonslayer8048]

I just become a fan! xd

[@nassaralhaji9443]

nice

[@georgeye862]

i had to laugh so hard at 11:11

[@herbertjenkies90]

You HAD to? Is someone forcing you to?

[@andreaseriksson9746]

Wow really hilarious, he messed up

[@jagergaming2281]

why does my card not go to the bottom?

[@aftabfruitwala31415]

Not able to swipe off the first card. Ends up picking up two cards and showing the faces. 😕

[@richardryder5385]

the elmsley move seems easier to do if my fingers are moist, but it don't seem natural to lick your fingers before the count - anyone have any thoughts

[@monster762]

Fingertip moistener called "Sortkwik".

[@BlackSheepThinking]

I would strongly recommend you don't move your right hand....when you move the hand that the cards come out of, it looks more like a shuffle, than a count. Consider holding the back of your right hand against your inside knee/thigh so it can't move. Pro tips.

[@munkhochirmunkhochir5783]

Ugh i cant find the trick you made using this move. Using 3 aces and 2 cards of a suit...

[@farshidsedighi437]

that was awesome tho

[@panagiotiskotsaris1627]

can you do a sybil cut tutorial plz

[@sulekhaamberkar]

He had already made a tutorial on the sybil cut

[@schwarzersternenstaub]

Where do you get such a mirror?

[@monster762]

Buy thee cheap mirrors and use some wide strong tape like duct tape as a make shift hinge. Don't forget to leave a gap of about 10mm between the mirrors otherwise they won't fold.

[@GavHern]

Instead of doing a multiple card push-off, I cull the bottom card a bit

[@danielholland5854]

i do the same, it seems to make it easier for me

[@centrino538]

I miss something. In the example, you have 5 cards, but you count until 4. So you don't 'show' the 5 cards. Or is my question stupid?

[@user-or6mz4gy6i]

The trick is once you pushed the card back under the small deck in your right hand you can keep on counting until four. If you want to go beyond you either flash the cards or have to push the whole stack of hidden cards together with the masking card.

[@matej.t.3739]

Guys, where can I get rubber balls?

[@philrogers611]

How do you do it with three cards?

[@52kards]

It's the same method, you just don't need to do a multiple card push off for the second swipe.

[@philrogers611]

+52Kards do you do it off the first one?

[@tiziano7071]

+Phil Rogers You don't do a double pushoff. You push off the first one, push off the second one as you steal the first one, keep counting

[@aruneswara22]

Has anyone tried a killer bees by ellusionist deck

[@sarijusblekspelas6512]

your cards are made from paper or not? sry for bad english

[@realxyzr]

yes they are paper like bicycles

[@SRGato-ji5jo]

are al bicycles made of paper? even the playing cards sorry just a doubt

[@realxyzr]

S.R¡Gato there is a special Bicycle deck that is plastic (prestige deck) but almost all other USPCC/Bicycle decks are paper. Also paper is better

[@SRGato-ji5jo]

thank you sooooo much

[@haritsyangini4047]

is that a MINT cards...???what is that made of...???plastic...???

[@Rich.Staples]

even when i do the move the way you explain it i end up with one card left in my hand after the packet is transferred. Please improve this video to make your more clear. you could do a step by step instruction with numbered steps and showing the list at the end highlighting them while u do it at slow and full speed.

[@monster762]

Are you failing to deposit the first card at the back as you push over and take the block?

[@lidokork]

hi Asad :)

[@eelnomad2273]

I need help with something though, I can't palm a bicycle card for my hands are too small, any tips?

[@dndfan3000]

If your hands are too small to hide them naturally work on the angle a bit more and play around with the grip until you feel comfortable with the angle and the grip. To work on the angle either buy the mirror featured on this channel or just try it infront of a normal mirror if you're not too fussed about the side view. And for the performance which does involve the palm try to not stare at your hand and raise your voice slightly to distract the spectators. Hope this helped.

[@jordanplays9500]

love it i was the 46 like

[@akhneeroo4461]

Plzz do one more A NEW VIDEO

[@andreaseriksson9746]

Am I the only one having problem peeling off the first card without separation or even grabbing two cards? Annoying! So yeah, already frustrated at the counting part..

[@monster762]

It's hard to explain in writing but I'll try. Assuming you are counting right to left like in the tutorial: with your left index finger across the far short edge of the packet, push down and outward to the left with your left thumb. The left index finger keeps the bottom three cards in place while the left thumb kind of forces the top card out and to the left. The initial separation is caused entirely by the hand that is taking the cards.

[@fdpriv]

uff finish my cards

[@lukaivankovic1241]

Noice, tho i already learned this move from mismag822.

[@j.d.martin8574]
