Scam School owes me a dollar now.

[@sren1446]

Scam Nation Hi please my english is not the Best. Could you tell me which card and how many there are in the trick. Thanks

[@pr1ckastley]

Brilliant trick.You know, you can even throw in a face card to avoid suspicion.If all the cards seem to be in the order you put them in, then you can tell that they had selected the face card, right?

[@scamschool]

Hrit Roy oh, well done! That's a great subtlety!

[@MarcusKrannawitter]

Lol

[@NobleManager]

Squazzles Gamez i believe those are the lyrics to the song at the end of the video 😂😂

[@eoinoravetz3488]

Its "Scam School, bow down, Scam School, bow down"

[@moomoocat2708]

holy shit i read this just as the song came on in the video

[@Graxster]

Great trick! Thanks for sharing. Tip: It's much easier to perform if you go through the deck first and put all the "psychic" cards upright (without an audience). That way when you're selecting each card, you don't give away clues by turning some cards upright and not turning others.

[@its.mr.p]

I was doing magic bout 12-13 years but I haven't seen such smart intelligent magic and I can't BELIVE u reveal them!! Thanks for reveals

[@caleblimb3275]

I don't normally like cheesy tricks but this one was pretty cleaver. Thumbs Up

[@scamschool]

Thanks man.

[@jackrinaldi1119]

Best. Channel. Ever

[@scamschool]

So glad you like it.

[@bixarrio5251]

When I was young we had a bicycle deck with two bicycles, a wheel and 3 wings on the back. The wings were such that one was pointing up and the other two were pointing to the sides. I think it's called a league back. I did this trick as a young boy, having arranged the wings to all point in the same direction. Thanks Brian, this video brought back some fond memories.

[@piguy314159]

If you happen to have a non-standard deck where every face is asymmetric, you can make it even more deceptive. Come up with a simple rule like "odd cards are right-side up, even cards are upside down," and as you go through the deck in the beginning, build your "psychic" pile out of cards that are following your rule. That way you can use slightly more cards (26 cards on average, instead of 22) and it'll look like you just picked random cards; there's no risk of someone calling you out for not picking any face cards. You also won't raise suspicion by turning cards around; the cards you use are the ones that are already set up the way you want.

[@ten8468]

I re-invented this trick like 8 or 9 years ago... I was like 10. As soon as I saw him sorting the 3 first cards, I knew what he was gonna do. Still my favorite trick.

[@scamschool]

tboss nice!

[@BKKutterKnifeKills]

One way that I like to end it is that I take a look at the cards and then count which order their card is at. Then I say: "Okay, I am going to play a game with you." I deal the cards, knowing the exact location of their card I secretly count to know where their card is. Then I say "Okay, you have to find YOUR card with the cards faced DOWN" (Sometimes I make piles of three, piles of four etc.) And I tell them that they have to guess. (Of course with multiple chances) And while you know where the card is, they will barely guess the exact card. It gives you a great reaction because it involves the audience and it puzzles them because it just gives them more questions to ask like "How did he know my card when he shuffled it without any funny moves" "How did he know which card was mine when it was faced down?"

[@robcurtis274]

I save a link to this trick. i am going to teach my 8 yr old daughter! (after using it on her...heh)

[@scamschool]

Rob Curtis :-)

[@Uniquettt]

A oldie but still a great impromptu card effect easy to learn and fun to play at venues or drinking session

[@TheRealHiro]

THis is the best school ever! No need to pay, free learning trick!

[@outdoordad1656]

These videos are so intersting to me as I see Brian going through the same exact transformation I went through during this time. I also went from being a punk to a husband in about four years.

[@scamschool]

hah! Love this.

[@ethannovacane5540]

I love how the only people he doesn't scam is his viewers.

[@heret123]

I came from the FAVORITE card trick of all time video from scamschool and the guys there also picked the 3 of hearts the first time! lol!

[@missythewildchild]

I about fell off my bed laughing when he screamed burn the witch!!! It was hilarious!!!

[@cristianfcao]

This one was great, so simple and elegant. I'd do it telling them to say "that's not my card" on every card I show them to make it even more confusing (as if I was spoting the card from their tone of voice or something).

[@quentinsummers2531]

His T-shirt is a magic trick in its self, it predicts future spongebob memes

[@sab191]

Seriously one of the best channels ever

[@FireFang1331]

11:57 XD LAWLZ! I could watch that all day! "Oh my god it's a wizard!!"

[@lostboytnt1]

I came up with this trick, when I was a kid, all on my own. Fyi: can do with an entire deck, if it's a picture deck, or other asymmetrical back/front (although if the back is TOO asymmetrical, it's way too obvious, and requires some funny handling of the cards not to give it away)

[@xerxesp3210]

That feeling when a joke flies over someone's head. For great justice!!! :D

[@scamschool]

I get that a lot. Thanks for being there.

[@largent1398]

good...good...you really deserve the subscription of this simple beginner !

[@Stevefrench644]

I'm kinda surprised you've met professional magicians that were fooled. I thought of this trick myself as a kid (but without a "psychic card" setup, I just started with a part deck). I was reminded of it by the obviousness that the ace of spades has a top and bottom, then was certain by the way he kept the cards the same way when he ripple shuffled.

[@benpadgett9929]

Great vid, man I totally fooled my mom. SHE FREAKED OUT!

[@scamschool]

nice!!

[@formerburgerking3848]

Mine to

[@nicholaspewdiepie8427]

my grandfather taught me this trick when i was young and after that i showed it to all my friends they were just flabbergasted

[@Tcr810XP]

I use your stuff every time I got to the bar. I don't always get free drinks, but it's always fun.

[@mrWade101]

I Love That You Always Have A Big Letter At Each Word!

[@itmustbesimple7335]

Every time I perform his given tricks it works and without any mistakes and as every time thumbs up

[@ratadjacent]

12:07 Was there anything in the glass?

[@void8741]

I learned this trick in a book, I knew exactly what it was from the get go. I use it all the time it's my favorite card trick.

[@wojtekszczerbinski9631]

So easy and so impressive! thanks mr Brushwood

[@joelkang9550]

I recently just went to a high school freshman retreat. I performed this trick and the controlled cards trick. People loved it! :D also a few people figured out the controlled cards one :(

[@mirzamujic9370]

i watch scam school all the tim and its getting beter every time

[@TheChetjordan2002]

Scam School Been performing this trick for 20ish years. I use a reveal where I tell them to watch the cards and not react in the same way, however, I flip them one at a time and pretend to study their face. When I their card is flipped, I'll say "$5 says it'll be the very next card flipped" they take the bait every time and I flip their card face down.

[@fidgetspinnermeme9150]

Barber : What style do u want Him : I want something that will make peoples jaws drop Barber : say no more

[@bimanusantara6530]

OMG this is sooo old... my father showed me this when i was kid. So memorable~

[@muddywaters2k9]

Cool trick, how do you know which side they are going to put in first based on how they are holding it?

[@theultimategamer-vlogsandm3554]

I agree

[@jakl3506]

because people hold the card at bot to and put it in top first

[@nischaljugjali3029]

Great trick brian. I learnt it and showed to my buddies and they blew away and they think I have magical skills. Thnxs

[@scamschool]

+Nischal Jugjali awesome!

[@macfreak18]

i've got a deck where there are markings on the back that tell me if it's upside down or not...... well, i only found one of the markings but it's actually pretty genius. so, thanks scam school, i can perform this trick with any deck, or add a bit of variety with my own :D

[@wayneelyard3863]

Can also be done with Tally-Ho Circle Back cards, they have a VERY subtle one-way feature. But I do like this method for the showmanship of having some cards that "speak to you" more than others. And, I guess this also lets you use any deck that the spectator might give you.

[@elkutha]

Hey Brian im new to Scam School but find every episode ive watched ive enjoyed thank you for bringing back fun times and good laughs

[@KingFredII]

I learned this trick when I was a child: just about 50 years ago.

[@scamschool]

King Fred II nice!

[@thebowz12]

i really cant figgure it out :p watched it over and over its a really clever trick awesome thx

[@kendalllyons3554]

This is now one of my favorite tricks!!! Thanks Brian :)

[@scamschool]

awesome!

[@19culprit25]

This is awesoooommmeeeee!!!!!!! :)) I just tricked my colleagues!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@ezdoongle7180]

Super cool trick. Sometimes when I do it. Mainly to people who already seen it. I discard some of the asymmetrical cards too,( I have only 3 nines or 2 sevens). So people dont see the pattern so easily.

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

nice Daniel Johnston shirt :)

[@realcygnus]

i dig this channel dude....its addictive

[@kezbardol5404]

that lady looks like the one from Turn Down For What music video :O

[@scamschool]

Döner Kebab OMG!

[@jazzynitron2715]

Scam School OMG! -what?

[@BlueToad2222]

I miss scam school, I'm glad they youtube'd it

[@joni5774]

They looked so awkward when you said "now lets thank the people that make scam school possible" lol

[@DinoTheDinosaurROAR]

"I dont wanna break your heart or nuthing but, ESPN has nuthing to do with this"....HAHAHAHA he hella said that shitt!!! 5:22

[@Jedspov]

Saw brian at penn and teller's show Fool Us episode

[@NobleManager]

jed mesina did he fool them? :v

[@fleshTH]

He didn't, but they really liked his showmanship.

[@josephzagar9114]

felix josue velazquez they said he did it better than though.

[@crumpmakecountrygreatagain425]

I actually already knew this one except I use the back of the cards. some decks have a white outline around the back edge of the card and the top is thicker than the bottom or left is thicker than right this way you don't even have to look at the front of the cards and I think it's a lil better that way and more psychic. besides that I do it the exact same way

[@texanmunk]

Brushwood's a Daniel Johnston fan! Love it

[@Dustbowldave001]

haha.. nice come-back :) just found your work on here, i'm in australia, gonna win me some beers

[@josepht.4022]

I tried this for the school talent show and I got first place, thank you so much!

[@extraintelligence]

Ironically, my dad loves tricks and scams, so his secret stash actually consisted of many trick coins, cards, and cutlery.

[@HopManMSR]

awesome i can figure out lots of tricks as i do tons of card magic myself but i didnt catch this at all

[@zappafan3473]

all about the daniel johnson shirt brian. nice touch.

[@Tinyjb0]

Did this to my friend, he instantly caught up on it. Watched my hand and how i was setting the cards down every time.

[@andreipanait01]

i know this trick and leaves an awesome expresion on the tricked persons faces...it is awesome

[@Plexusonfire]

I just messed with a master magician 7 years in the making. Feeling so proud.

[@Historycanon]

I love seeing a trick when I know exactly how it's done when I see it. My uncle taught me this trick not too long ago XD Ppl are absolutely gobsmacked by this!

[@dndeveloper]

hey guys you are so funny..........I enjoyed it very much......such an amazing trick..

[@stavroswag5471]

good and easy one ....... just awesome !!!

[@dowaliby1]

Great trick! Maybe I'm being picky, but in the explanation, when the cards are being set up at around 6:20 or so, the hearts on the 3 of hearts are facing the wrong way

[@pure_strafez]

ive known this trick for years n have been doing this trick on many people n my ive learned from my mom whos learned from over 40yrs ago n i was just thinking about telling you this one

[@sterlingsmetana3202]

I actually knew this one before I saw this video. It baffled me too the first time

[@meowingcupycake7960]

I love your shirt in this video. Very cool.

[@bigness]

Oh my God. "You have no chance to survive make your time" Zero Wing reference FTW! All your base are belong to us.

[@pangjingkang6931]

Really awesome trick Brian! But what would you do if someone drops your deck of "psychic" cards while shuffling and messes up the one way principal?

[@scamschool]

luckily, they don't know what trick you were about to do... just change gears and run somewhere else.

[@rusianalf]

thats the same couple thats in "Trick Friends like a Con Man with Cards!" episode... wow thats amazing, how did Brian do that?

[@shehriyarlaghari6446]

I honestly saw the three of hearts at the bottom while you were doing the riffle shuffle

[@musicforchewfaygs]

the bart simpson hair has got to stop.

[@JudithOpdebeeck]

#bringbackthespikes

[@silverzero9524]

also in our country the pattern of pictures of cards is like an image if u twist it , it can be easily identified by even a kid

[@EarthFlame118]

so does Brian a lot of the shows are shot there or in San Francisco

[@jackiemartinez8988]

I was surprised when I saw that Utah sign in the back at the end of the video. lol I'm from Utah xD PS. This trick is really cool thank you!!!!!!

[@thekardician6859]

Wow ! That was brilliant !!!!

[@mariavazquez5517]

Cool trick! Very clever. Also nice shirt. :)

[@TylerJacksonMagic]

That guys acting was brilliant!

[@FlyPizzaPIe]

Who here stopped watching the main part and look at a clip from the background basketball game for a few seconds?

[@nupeswv]

A neat addition to this trick is to include 1 face card..preferably a diamond. This has no direction but if all the other cards are in order...this one got picked. Makes it look more normal with the face card.

[@mrspoon1259]

Love the daniel Johnston shirt.

[@tomvspolak32]

thats my trick damnnit!!! always use it, its easy and fast!

[@markjohnson7558]

he's actually pretty nice and you guys should check out some of his math tricks

[@SlickFadez]

What cards are you using? they're well nice!!!!

[@peytonsimpson4518]

Will doing the riffle shuffle work? Or will it reverse the orientation

[@soulreaperichig0]

cool trick bro :D very happy with this

[@costalot0]

I love how they try to hide his beer with the salt and pepper, lol

[@puenmagic9313]

The best!! I really love this!

[@Pauly14G]

Awesome :) I do a similar thing to this with the borders of the cards. Often the top or side borders of the back of a card are different, even if the rest of the card is symmetric. Trips people out big time! :D

[@despiteallmyrage6813]

Brian Brushwood is a fucking *legend!*

[@breathless792]

@xmbomagic You can put one symetric card in the psychic card pile, if someone picks it none of the cards will have changed direction, so you know it's that one, also remove some asymetric cards. do both and you could do hide what your doing better.

[@vipp3857]

Greatest trick ever.

[@Jerry101]

well after two videos I'm subscribing

[@MrRonandmagic]

i did this to my grandma and she started swearing
