The Self Working Card Trick to Make People Insane!

[@9b_rodriguez_miguelantonio703]

whenever i need to or want to learn a card trick i always watch ur vids

[@AtrusDesign]

The trick is very nice. To be honest I figured it out immediately, probably because the principle is old and I already used “psychological” force for a spectator stop (and it usually works). A suggests that make much easier the spectator stop at right position: you tell him to fill the cards, one by one, only after the 3th you tell him that he can stop whenever he wants but also to remain concentrate. Use right words to introduce a bit of anxiety in him. In this condition he almost always stop after 3 or 4 cards (dealing 6 or 7 cards, as we wants). I use a similar “force” described by Roberto Giobbi in Card College, every time I performed it, it worked.

Awesome trick👍 I work with kids in a Behavioral Health Unit and your card tricks have helped me in so many ways to build their trust and confidence!

[@TerrillFischer]

This reminds me of a John Bannon trick from his book "Mentalissimo". It's called Clean Out of Sight on page 91. this is great book of self-working card magic. Another idea I thought of for the final reveal when they deal. If they stop on 8, have them burn the bottom and top card. then they deal down the new top which is their card.

[@diogeneslantern18]

What's brilliant about Hayashi's set up as that 1) it involves 2 participants to share in the magic, as well as make the card picker and guesser share the main role, and if the trick _works_ both will feel awesome at having shared this little moment. But 2) what's brilliant is that _if_ the trick fails with 2 participants, then the magician can choose to do it once more (but this time the magician is guessing the card - correctly obviously), and while doing so, can look into the eyes of the original guesser and make up some story like "I can still feel the magic in you" and then make the successful reveal. I'm quickly realising that the mechanics of the tricks are probably only 25-33% of the performance. I must also say I really like your method of salvaging the trick too!

My favourite magic trick was performed by my uncle at Sunday dinner when I was 13 yo. To summarize a very long story, the magic trick was done with a brand new deck that he had me buy before the dinner and until the day he died he never touched that deck. He gave me instructions so that I would perform the trick on myself. It obviously was a math trick and I still love it to this day. It seems to me like this trick here could be done the way my uncle did his all those years ago.

[@mysteriesinmind]

I love it when the spectator gets blown away by what THEY apparently did!

[@quintopia]

one other possibility you can use is to have them select a "secret" number from the beginning (which you know thanks to switching a billet or, my preference, using a card box impression device), and then use the full version of the 27 card trick where you restack the packets in such a way that the card ends up at their secret selected number. then just have them deal to that number. no need for multiple outs or magician's choice

[@JamesCapobianco-el9mi]

Great effect. Thanks!

[@PawDieFur]

to push around this, just do the "im going to guess the position of your card" sequence. i never enjoy letting the spectator do to much. ive had it one time were they completely ruined it by, instead of taking the deck and cutting it like i said, intentionally started to do the casino shuffle. another trick was when i did the torn and restored. they decided to take it upon themselves to steal the card from my hand. i only allow spectators interactions when the trick demands it for visual clarity. (banded, halo, etc). if i can do a trick without to much spectator interaction, i feel that is the best.

[@2009carlini]

wow great video and routine,TKU for sharing. can you explain the Bannon bottom bluff force? TKU

[@JustFun-iz9rf]

That is so good I like that you showed the false cuts

[@PriyankaShah-zp4vr]

Great trick. The card I used was the queen of spades and it ended up in the same pile as you also on the bottom!

[@Vytor_01]

i have created a trick with a simmilar, you have 10 cards, you ask them to pick one and then you shuffle, after that they just deal how many cards they want and they stop on their card basically, u have to control their card to the 6th position, most of them will deal 6 cards, after thatn u go to the pile that their card is not on and u ask: "do you wanna keep this pile with u?" if yes, you give it to them and use the other one to finish the trick (the one that their card is on) if they say no, you just put away it if their card is 2nd from topn u just do a double lift. if theiir card is not 2nd from top, you can just get the deck towards urself and call their card (just find a way to know what card they have picked)

[@roadrunner2211]

If they stop past the 7th position they will see the wrong card, as i control the correct card to top of pile...just say it doesn't always work (creating a soft moment) and do a top change.

[@pageluvva]

I am a beginner but I am no way this good. Someday. Many thanks.

[@cojobra5005]

What do you do if to stop too short?

[@ooohla9872]

That's a cool trick ! I love Ryan Hayashi so much, as a performer, he's a boss, and as a magician, he's a master ! I think you're a pocket aces lover XD, their cards are gorgeous, but unfortunately, on camera, we can't really appreciate them... For anyone reading this comment, I just wanted to say something about the psychological force that is occuring at the end of the trick... Usually, the magician does it, he count slowly 4 cards while talking to the audience, and then, he tells the spectators they can say stop whenever they want. Usually, I don't know the statistics, but very often, people will stop on the seventh card, 3 after you tell them to say stop, if you count slowly of course... So I think you can apply that to the spectator, by asking them to deal card slowly (obviously create a reason for it), until they've dealt for cards, and then you tell them to stop whenever they feel like it... It's the principle applies here, but I feel like it needed a little bit more details about how it works... That's a pretty long comment ngl... Thank you for taking the time to read this till the end, and have a nice day !

[@CardMechanic]

I agree with both your points, I wish I could display them better on camera and definitely should’ve explained the psychological force a little better. Appreciate your comment!

This is really cool CM! This looks like an effect A Million Card Tricks has taught. For anyone that didn't catch it, the name of the cards are the "Palm Isle" Playing Cards. Going to perform this! #Roadto31K!

[@willswalkingwest7267]

I've tried this over and over (by myself), I've followed the initial procedures to the letter, the 3 piles procedures. The selected card doesn't end up in the 7th position. I'm terribly confused

[@Pro-6789]

2:00 you guessed my card . _ .

[@tugumerobert2353]

Very impressive

[@Syndur]

Interesting variant 🙂 I've been doing this in a simpler "ACAAN"-style fashion, where the spectator gives me a number and remembers one card out of the pile of 27, and after three rounds of me trying to mind-read, the card ends up in their selected position. So, I was sure you were doing this with a fixed position and then somehow forcing that in your final phase (which I don't generally like -- I'm not a pro, so I like my tricks to be straightforward with no obscure psychological forces, series of magician choices where the outcome changes etc.), but I got distracted by your shuffling phases and taking multiple cards when dealing. I kind of like that detail, and I'll probably try to add it to spice things up a bit... so far, I've been following the strict dealing 1 card at a time patterm, even though only one of the 3 packs actually mattered. :-) Also, come to think of it, starting with 3 piles and having the spectator select one is a great idea, since it only needs 2 more rounds, not 3... it's always a bit boring to do the same thing multiple times... :-)

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks so much for sharing your insights! The one reason I like to use psychological effects is because they have a chance of failing, so they seem almost impossible to a laymen and other magicians (since most people think a trick has to work 100%). So it’s a nice change of pace from time to time (but it helps to have a backup strategy for the reveal)

i personally don't like self working card tricks some of them are so boring and this u know making piles 1 by 1 is very much boring so i feel these cards trick are not my type though, cuzz these are not interesting u getting my point???

[@CardMechanic]

To each their own. I love self working card tricks as it forces you to focus on performance rather than skill. If you can’t make a self working card trick fun, then you need to practice performing. Skills are great to have, but at the end of the day, the spectator doesn’t care, they just want to be entertained and have a good time. But I definitely understand your perspective! Cheers!

I like a lot of your tricks but this is really bad as you ask two piles so you know it is in the third

[@CardMechanic]

I understand your perspective, but this trick really goes based off your performance. If you make it seem like “you ask two piles” the effect will lose A LOT of it’s impact. And then it’s what you do with the third pile that sells it even more

[@billmcstafford1996]

That deck is a horrible choice. Color and index size just looks bad on video. And if you brought a deck like that out in real life to do a trick, I would immediately be suspicious: It doesn't look like any deck I (or anyone else) has ever seen, so it must be a special trick deck!!!! So much of "magic" is subconscious why go over the top with a sus deck?
