ALWAYS Find Their Card (w/ Alex Rangel)

[@adamwoodhouse5356]

"you could probably buy it on scam stuff" - perfect response

[@upinarms79]

Alex is still one of my favorite card magicians to be on Scam Nation. He handling skills are really impressive and so are the tricks he demonstrates. You guys need to talk him into being on more often.

[@alexrangel3177]

Too kind, thank you!

[@akicitaa.8233]

Brian, the best effect you've ever performed is your parenting. As a dad too, I admire you for whatever you've done to help your daughters be so awesome.

[@aracnadei13]

Great method and performance from Alex, but Penny's off the cuff banter while performing a new trick for the first time is also very impressive! Great work everyone involved.

[@tiggert4002]

Brian your daughters are the best kids ever. Congrats to Penny for her book. I haven't heard of a short corner before so this is a new idea for me. I like that this allows for more engagement with the audience than focus on the handling of the cards.

[@salty_slug]

I had no idea she wrote a book, but it looks cute

It's such an elegant fix it blew my mind. Trimming it all means every card is in play.

[@cloudfinraptor]

Penny is actually hilarious. I hope we see her again. Best of luck with school though!

[@thecommonmagician]

That brand/type of punch is a very good tool for gaff making. The small punch is nearly identical to the 3mm round on new cards... making it perfect for rerounding corners on a DIY stripper deck, or on DIY end/side shorts.

[@murk1e]

*So* need to do a short series on basic skills like “How to shuffle”.

[@simonnading]

Thanks, Gordon, for getting Brian into magic

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

I know a really great way of marking those decks (both red and blue). I've tested the marked cards on a bunch of people and nobody knew they were marked. In fact even after I told the person they were marked they couldn't spot how they were marked.

[@AvinZarlez]

Penny did great, what a fun lesson. I love the roleplaying

[@V00D00M0NKY]

this is a trick designed to be shown to magicians. the way he shuffled at the start it at least appeared to me that he was keeping the top card the same. this action threw me off the scent of what he was actually doing.

[@asgacc8789]

Same here! So good My eyes widens when he let the spectator shuffles

[@Alan_Hans__]

Very nice. The whole thing could have gone pear shaped if there was a smoosh shuffle in there or if half of the cards got flipped over at any stage.

[@elopers6424]

Haven't seen scam school in a while but this was incredibly entertaining!!

[@donutzlidla7769]

Alex's deck handling is Impressive. Great trick

[@kgapaneseschoolgirlb]

Penny was hilarious this episode! She’s so funny! I’d love to see more of her learning magic tricks lol. Still find it bizarre how none of Brian’s kids know any magic before coming on this show

[@Ismael900G]

Right? tricks apart, they can barely shuffle in any way

[@Kinglink]

You gotta keep them uninitiated so you can practice your skills and get honest reactions.

[@chrismcelligott5462]

@@Ismael900G I was thinking the same thing. I can they not shuffle a deck of cards.🤣

[@sheetedkid]

I'm not sure if it's accurate to say they don't know *any* magic before coming onto the show. For one thing, Brian calls Penny a 'relative non-magician', suggesting that she knows at least a little bit. For another, her guess was that Alex had retained the card while everyone else was shuffling (which was my first thought as well); it's certainly possible for someone who knows nothing about magic to think that, but it seems more likely to come from someone who is already familiar with some of the literal tricks of the trade.

[@kgapaneseschoolgirlb]

@@sheetedkid I’d imagine he’d at least teach her to be able to hold a deck of cards though you know?

when he shows Brian the card, he has already seen it too. did anyone else catch that? but the flick thing was impressive though... or not? I was so sure he peeked at the card earlier

What's the out when they riffle shuffle?

[@alexrangel3177]

You can riffle all day, keeps the orientation just fine.

[@Violaetor]

@@alexrangel3177 I should clarify, when I riffle the top cards end up 180 degrees from each other. A more universal one, for clarity, would be what if the deck was washed?

I need your help! I just got home from the bar, my friend just blew my mind with a simple bar trick, can you explain to me how he did it? So the setup is easy, he took a normal drinks coaster and ripped it into 4 pieces, he then put them on the table into the quarters and closed his eyes, like really closed, like put his head under the table closed and asked me to pick a quarter, and after, he then predicted correctly which quarter I picked, EVERY SINGLE time, did it like 15 times until I got frustrated and left. Please help, I cant sleep.

Didn't Gordon in second attempt shuffle the cards the opposite way ruining the setup?

[@jasonbailey9139]

I thought it was a stripper deck and was sure Penny discombobulated it when she went to riffle shuffle it. The most magical thing was how Alex grabbed the right card and made it fly out of the deck, but that must be a trade secret or at least an advanced skill that won't be covered here...

Actually I they did an episode on how to do that! I think it's called the boomerang card trick

@@eddotron1224 you're likely right. That sounds familiar. I'm still amazed at how fast he repositions the card, though. You can tell he mastered that skill.

[@theplatitudefromouterspace]

Isn't there a chance that a spectator doing a riffle shuffle would mess up a tapered deck? I'm probably missing something obvious.

[@BryceCastillo]

Totally! Keep an eye out for that and have a back-up trick in case that happens. It’s all playing by ears!

[@theplatitudefromouterspace]

@@BryceCastillo There was 2 riffles done during the trick, I have no idea how he still got the right card.

[@BryceCastillo]

@@theplatitudefromouterspace Yes, but riffles don't mean the two halves have to combine in opposite orientations. You can see around 4:56 where Penny is turning them so they'll stay the same way.
