David Blaine's Two Card Monte (Tutorial)

[@sadikhasan7887]

"Because i don't have someone here to hold the cards with me" - I can feel you, brother.

[@LovinTheseCardTricks]

So I Finally did this trick to a few of my friends and their reactions were great. I thought the second switch was stupid but it is actually very easy to misdirect the spectator with your eyes or by saying their names. Thanks Jarek, it really boosted my confidence to show others my tricks

[@ashleypaine7846]

Do a wrist kill,when you swap cards turn the pack over as your doing it,less noticeable!

[@glytch5]

I love those quick one handed cuts.

[@NateKyng]

Was this filmed at the Sons of Anarchy bike garage?

[@roderick673]

Yes...apparently sons were suckers for Hansons.

Take ur thumbs up sir. So far best tutorial and most impresive trick ever.

[@DisturbReality]

Just don't react. Stare at them. Laugh. Run away. Anything will work so long as you don't do it again..

[@jyack275]

Haaa. That would be a good one. Thanks for the tutorial. I love this one.

[@SosarMocd93]

That is the simplest and most amazing magic card trick ive ever seen. I love how David Blaine performs it and now, thanks to you i can perform ot myself. Thank you very much, sir. Cheers from Mexico!!

[@ismailjedi218]

11 years later still mind blowing

[@libbyandlei8871]

yup

[@Steakbomb1]

The fact that Hanson is playing during the live trick makes this video go from good to great!

[@zycruz19]

i have been doing this trick since when i first watched david performed it but until now it still gives the spectators the amazement and that makes this trick so cool

[@DisturbReality]

As soon as you do the "real switch" at about 1:27 you just say "now without looking..." and you can even hold onto the card to prevent it from flipping over, but as soon as you do the switch just say, without looking... they'll never flip it over.

[@Kman.]

Great job. Sure, a person can perform it within 10 minutes of LEARNING it, but LEARNING it will take more than 10 minutes. The one hand split is one of several things that will take MUCH time to get fluid, but again...thumbs up for your performance and tutorial as well!

[@highschoolhypnosis1]

You have no idea how valuable these tutorials are to me. These are really incredibly simple and powerful effects that go a long way trying to legitimize yourself infront of a crowd

[@michaellavery4899]

To master these tricks you must practice, practice,practice. This is a great one to master holding a cut and not dealing from the top. For an amateur like me it took between 1-2 hours a day for about a week practising on my own, but it was well worth it.

[@cardboardgold]

Best tutorial I've watched on KZbin out of hundreds and hundreds....

[@DisturbReality]

I think what also gave it away is that there's a tutorial for the effect starting at 2:45 -____-

[@Barocalypse]

If anyone is still here you can do this variation by Andy Field where you dont need to do a top change: start with the queens face to face on top of the deck then hold the 2 aces face up in ur other hand then give them one of the aces and put the other one on top of the deck then do a triple lift and take away the top card which is a queen and they think it's an ace but make sure not to show the face up queen underneath so do that by turning the deck away from the card. So now you do the first switch where you're just explaining to the spectator how you'll do the switch so you'll give them a queen and take the ace from them and put the queen face up on top of the deck then turn your hand over and do a double lift and now you have 2 queens in place of the 2 aces. Please reply if you're in March 2021 and see this comment :)

[@SuperSkateboarder98]

ive been doing a bunch of tricks that ive learned from you and this one is probably going to get people the most. love your magic

[@manuariiclaveryterou2887]

i live in french polynesia and it's so amazing to see amzing tricks like you do...

[@affadosman]

i have watched enough MisMag tutorials to have seen you put the cards on top and know they were the key, along with the what i thought was a double lift at the time. And dont hate on yourself that was very good tutorial.

[@alexmurray6515]

Thank you! I see the video several times, in order to learn.it. Is amazing how the people get surprise when the cards changed.

[@ArgoLupus]

Thanks for the tutorial. It seems like the steal is the only brazen move because your hand touches the deck for no reason and the replacement is almost like dealing a second. I think you did a good "rush" job.

[@libbyandlei8871]

These guys are insane!!!

[@AllproWarrior]

i love when i do this trick because everyone is to amazed i get better reactions from this trick than anything else! this is a must even if you are doing way more advanced tricks this one is awesome!

[@WeAreBorg359]

Your performance and explanation was great. The upload is much-appreciated.

[@jwt112020]

I know the trick already but I like your performance of it better. Your way prevents them from trying to look at the card after you make the switch without having to say.. "now don't look at the card"

[@TheConjuror]

Watched your tutorial, then watched it back seeing your moves!! Great trick, great tutorial, good work fella!!!

[@bluebettle]

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I like how you get them to say "three card monte" as if they're educating you. It just seems like good patter.

[@shakiberm]

nice tut... for some rare reason i don't like to do this card trick... i think i did it like 3 years ago and that's it.... but ill try it soon again to see how it works... keep it up

[@johnglonga1627]

damn he does this so well, even how he single handedly cuts the deck while talking, fuckin' boss

[@PaiCuiKe88]

It´s nice. Im training card magic about a half year and it´s also nice, that if u do it properly, u get an eye for it to see where the real magic happens. But getting this misdirection to the spectators is hard to learn. Going forward to do that some time later!! Nice Magic!

[@jc30005]

So simple yet so effective.

[@mysteriesinmind]

That really is fantastic, and thanks for being so generous in sharing it.

[@DisturbReality]

I work for a wrestling company in Detroit, Michigan, yes.

[@kivovang2757]

ITS A REALLY AWESOME TRICK.I GOT AMAZED.

[@MrCoderification]

Literally just learned it, without practicing went ahead and done it to my dad who watched my hands like a hawk. Pulled this off really well, just gotta practice my switch from the ace to the king fluently, thank you Evan.

[@Trey-ii5yu]

kick ass trick.... Smaller hands make the pinky breaks tougher it seems but great tutorial none-the-less... Thanks!

[@RockstahRolln]

Sweet trick! Thanks for sharing!

[@dominicpiscopo7915]

to all you so called negative no it all people I can only say I pity all of you the young man performing the magic tricks is really a wonderful performer I'm really amazed n very entertained at the same time you'll need to learn to enjoy n stop the unnecessary criticism n always remember the word trick...which explains it all

[@Volvandese]

I know a lot of people have already said this, but the hardest part of this trick really is getting people not to flip the card over.

[@masteircheef]

Well its all about how you display the triple lift. If you just try to pinch the bottom of the cards, the other two cards may poke out a tiny bit, enough for someone to notice... See how he flips all three cards on top of the deck? Thats a good way of doing it.

[@2PairsOfPants]

Dude thanks I always wanted to learn this when David Blaines show came u have a subscriber

[@The1rule]

when i do this publicly i like to explain to them who has done this trick before and while i'm explaining it i'll switch the cards before the two card "switch" seems to work a lot better.

[@rexspencer5107]

David Blaine has a wicked double lift where he takes the 2 cards and moves them around like it's 1 He has a amazing routine!

[@AG3NTSCARN]

I tried this one on a friend of mine who hadn't seen me do a card trick before. It scared the crap out of him when I asked if he thought he had clubs or spades on top, and he flipped to find two jokers.

[@HeLODreAMdotCOm]

Only saw the first 2 minutes and figured it out. He has the decked stacked A Q Q A, does a triple lift after handing him the A. then does a switch and cuts the deck with one hand to get rid of the evidence.

[@kyle0031]

just did that to my mom nd step dad and they thought it was awesome!!! thank you i have always wanted to learn how to do this since seeing david blaine do it

[@lochinyin]

I love this kind of tutorial which jarek is the magician and also the spectator

[@Skithstudios]

took the words right out of my mouth....

[@Philip54320]

I actually love the end :D I was like "nice trick, but i have to do sth. different now", and then you say. Do that trick now. 10 minutes and you perform it for a family member. That got me :D Gonna practice now

[@dinkleberg794]

Awesome trick, great tutorial! Ima start practicing this trick

[@codydosch7016]

I find it more powerful to switch them into the ace of spades and clubs rather than the two queens

[@Shuaiguy13]

you know whats great? During the beginning of the video, I could only hear hansons "I will come to you" Nostalgia.

[@Aiser56]

THIS TRICK AMAZES PEOPLE!

[@roberts80100]

im inlove with this trick

[@RedeyeRedeye-on7pc]

Love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 I learn It's so cool as soon as u explain about his card u switch it in your hand awesome tho...

[@asherbuchanan78]

Epic dude, you just got me out of house work for a week! :-D

[@datlukedude]

Just did this trick for the first time and pulled it off!

[@tylerparker3024]

I actually saw it all play out but that was still pretty good

[@bigmom1201]

i just come up with my own trick, something i can do if im warming up to another, powerful trick. ALL BECAUSE YOUR TUTORIAL ON FORCING CARDS!!! thanks!!!!

[@00YUVI123]

My favorite card trick.

[@sepharos2759]

this trick is sick and awesome thnx for revealing it

[@vl3005]

Dude, you look like a young Christian Bale... lol Great trick, great reactions, great tutorial. I kinda figured it out myself, but your explanation nailed it for me.

[@teejay15213]

wow, after watching this trick i was able to perform it fluidly after 10 mins. i amazed myself

[@jonathanhernandez3292]

those double and triple lifts are so important

[@draculaisscare]

Cool that's one of the easiest and amazing tricks i've ever encountered Jarek.btw i see a lot of magic shows

[@snugglepug7540]

I was performing this at school with basically my whole grade watching. When I performed the triple lift I held it in the wrong spot and this 7th grader caught a glimpse and called me out mid trick for holding more than one card. I just stared at him for a second and continued the trick. The whole crown went crazy in the end.

[@BlakeBlackstone]

7:17 "...And while they're hootin' and holerin' you can go ahead and do a one-handed cut" LOL best line ever. Magic at it's finest. xD

[@marvinthielepodcast2416]

i hate triple lifts so my set up is an ace a queen and an ace and another queen, so i double lift for the second ace and they still get a queen, then i switch the queen on the top position with the ace to the second position. Then i drop my hand with the deck down so i can flip over the queen then i place the first ace face up on the queen and turn both over as one so that in the end when i take the ace back it's a queen. Just my version, i find it easier for people starting out.

[@EthanRom]

I love this trick! well, i pretty much love every trick with a double lift.

[@DisturbReality]

Oh, wow... hmmm, it really depends on where you leave your cards and how clean your hands are I suppose. If you leave them in your pocket or jacket they could get really crapped up really quickly, just have to take car of them and they'll last longer, I have packs of cards that I got like 4 years ago that still work great because I rarely touch them. Once the cards turn more gray as opposed to clean white around the borders is when I say that's your duplicate pack for different tricks.

[@zacherymunt8072]

Great trick I use it all the time

[@Wolf__x89]

So Detailed! Thank you so much❤️

[@xABCxRZA]

At 1:03 you can see 2 cards (two QUEENS) behind the ACE of Diamonds. At 1:28 you can see him switches cards (the one that was already behind the ACE of Diamonds). What gave it away was when he said I'm going to have to do this fast or something like that...

[@manparido]

What i do is get the loop around my palm and get the deck inside the loop, then flick the cards for the audience to choose a card, and then you say like ''look, im pushing it in the middle, and then you push the card by the side not by the front inside the deck (remember, take car out by the front, take car in by the side) then you put the deck in a table or in the spectators hands, perform some waving moves and the card comes out. tip: use brand new deck and talc powder if you have it

[@brianrose2727]

the first trick i did was a double lift deck to pocket,and giys,it works really well

[@itsryone]

1:29 he switches the card in his right hand

[@orange9089]

Ryan he also double lifts the first queen in when he shows the diamond

[@abcrx32j]

@@orange9089 Isn't it a triple lift? And yeah, that's what happen when you use misdirection to hide a top change, but the camerais inmune to that

[@finallight1061]

@@abcrx32j the camera is not immune to that, he performed it extremely poorly. the top change can be done so much more smoothly and deceptively. watch david williamson do this move, you can be staring right at his hands when he does it and will never see it. this dudes a super amateur, maybe hes great at it now since this was from a decade ago but damn dude....

[@damianlim4432]

I did this trick in my school and they were all sooooooo amazed!

[@fritzheraldlozano4322]

ive seen all by rewinding many times ! ! but that was very cool ! !

[@carlberry9355]

I love this trick but I find it very hard to do even after practicing.... and it is complicated. So I took the idea behind this trick and another one my eight year old son does and combined them to do essentially the same trick only much easier. The first thing you do is set the cards as follows: 1. Two red aces - with two black queens behind. (The black queens are on top of the deck followed by the red aces). 2. Lift the cards (actually I usually have them setup in my hand before step 3 below) showing the red aces and not the black queens to the person you are doing the trick too. (The black queens are hidden behind the red aces.) 3. I usually say something like, "I'm unemployed magician...." then follow that up with "This is an IQ test card trick and shows you how smart you are.................." 4. After showing the person the cards place the cards quickly on top of the deck (of course the black queens are on top but they don't know that). 5. Ask the person to hold out there hand and deal the cards while saying, "Without looking can you tell me the card that is on top? Ace of Diamonds or Ace of Hearts?" 6. Ask them to flip over the cards and say - "Hey you screwed up the trick" or just let them marvel and say "Well it's more card trick than IQ test." It is a fun trick....Have a great day.

[@AceOfSpades072586]

very very nice effect..

[@gabrielh7517]

This is my go to trick

[@Narutorid1]

Thank you Evan! This trick is extremely effective! I was very nervous before performing this to my relatives. But it turns out quite awesome it's easy! As you say, Step out of your comfort zone

[@PeekEngineering]

Awesome trick. After you did the top change at about 1:32,1:33ish you did something with the deck that looked insane! It kinda looked like you put the top card on the bottom. Could you do a tutorial on that?

[@ryanpeplinski1884]

Great tutorial! Very succinct!!!

[@jarkmann3977]

I use Jacks for this trick. At the end you say You have been jacked! :)

[@CardNinja999]

A way to make it even more powerful of an effect is to change the aces to blank cards.

[@micglou]

Actually Blaine does the switching of the second ace a little better/trickier. I forgot the name of the technique but he basically uses a card flick technique to pop the card into his hand. He shows the technique in one of his videos, don't remember which video exactly but it was a more recent one... He said it's actually a flourish technique, not actually made for magic because it's higher risk... I remember this well because it's one of the few times he actually explains a technique he utilizes.

[@JackTheGameNerd]

this was the first video i saw of you, now you inspire me :D

[@T0Xify]

Good job with your confidence!

[@bloggerheart]

Good really impressive ............. please reveal more such tricks

[@slayerattack3751]

dang, your performance is so smooth! i didnt even catch when you switched the ace with the queen! or the onehanded cut! btw could you make a tutorial for the one handed cut?

La présentation est excellente, personnellement j'utilise "L'Ultra Move" de Harry Lorayne pour faire le change.
