Impossible 'Magic Shake' Card Trick - Revealed!

[@SankeyMagic]

WHAT IF THEY NAME THE KING OF SPADES FIRST??? I'm so sorry I forgot to mention that in the tutorial. When they do that, I count the 3 cards as 4 one last time, and then slowly put the 'four cards' in their hands, and ask them to shake the cards towards my pocket...and remove the King of Spades. And when they find there are only 3 Kings in their hands - always a strong reaction.

[@Dodgeballkinq]

I would rather be better at slight of hand!

[@alcazar123456]

Nice! So there’s a 1/4 chance you’ll have a great trick without having to do any work at all! Lol

[@Bcompany-x7f]

Wow then it will be a great mentalism

[@bendyparanormal]

SankeyMagic If someone chooses the King of Spades, I actually think that would be MORE magical. Here’s how/why: I would say, “Oh. I thought you would say the King of Hearts. You see, I was so sure, that I’ve got 4 of them.” Go through the rest of the routine...with the changes being magical moments. Then put the “4” cards in their hands. You say, “Now, you chose the King of Spades, right?” (Audience management here - don’t let them change their mind. Don’t ask what they chose - remind them what they chose.) When they confirm their choice, have them open their hands. They think it’ll be four King of Spades. They’ll already be in the “no way” mindset. But now there are THREE cards! No King of Spades. Then you show your hands empty, reach into your pocket and produce the card they selected. It will seem as if the same would’ve happened if they chose any other King. And instead of your pocket, maybe you could have the King show up in another “impossible” location. There are lots of possibilities for adaptation to what they choose and their surroundings with this one!

[@Lightbrush4life]

Isn't there a way to start with all 4 cards, then either palm, or better yet mercury fold the spades and maybe secretly put that card on them (this way they know you're actually have all 4 cards), then you do the trick as shown in the video. If they name the spades first, say something like "Everyone always wants the spades, well I like to end on the spades, so let's pick hearts first" then you don't have to do any other fidgeting. When you put the 3 (as 4) cards in their hand, you can do your magic gesture and reveal that the spades is the one card that has disappeared, and then reveal it on them, or folded and in some other impossible place. I'm nowhere near that good, but I think Jay is.

[@mpaeshuy]

I'm a retired I.T. specialist, and over the years i develloped RSI problems in my hands...After i retired i had lots of free time and took on card magic (i stumbled upon a cardtrick from you on youtube that inspired me to do so). I always have been a creative person, certainly to find solutions on all sorts of problems... So i definitaly would like to have a better sleight of hands despide my RSI problems. Keep up the good work !

[@donaldthomas3173]

I would like to improve my sleights. Your skill with sleights is why I first subscribed to your channel. You and Copperfield are 2 of my favorites

[@hernannoriega8003]

Amazing routine😀simply amazing... can't wait to perform it... Thanks J. Btw, I'd like to be better at sleight of hand since I personally believe true magic comes from your bare hands for your audience, I mean when you have gimmicks and that stuff it's ok, but when the your skilled enough to perform magic with anything at hand, that is for me "true magic"... when it comes from bare hands, out of nowhere.😊Thanks for your constant effort and contribution to Magic, Jay. I'd be glad to meet you someday.

[@frosteenight5888]

oh Sankey you done did it again amazing, that wind though. i would love to be better with sleight of hand because it is a beautiful beautiful art form always growing and evolving.

[@SankeyMagic]

Thanks SS! Super Sweet of ya.

[@barrymendonca2672]

Definitely more entertaining cause you can be entertaining without knowing sleights or being creative. You can be creative and know sleights but you still may not be entertaining!!! Ultimately people want to be entertained!!! Jay, thanks for your passion! Barry

[@to15108]

Keep these great tricks coming. For your question... I would rather be better at slight of hand. My main reason for saying this is that it is very hard to do slight of hand while wearing winter gloves. As I am sure you can imagine. Those gloves make it difficult to hide any breaks or passes. On top of that if I cannot find my gloves and have to wear mittens, it is pretty much impossible to do any sort of slight of hand. With mittens it is very convincing since the audience never can see the move I am making but in reality the cards never get adjusted since my moves are inside the mitten. I hope this adequately explains why I would rather be better at slight of hand! :)

[@MagicofKeelanWendorf]

I’m just impressed with performing cards when it’s windy. I live in Chicago and it’s a pain during the fall season. I love effects like this because it’s simple, there’s not a deck where a lot is going on. It’s visual and easy to comprehend. Definitely adding to my repertoire.

[@chrono244]

awesome trick! I did the turn the candle into a quarter trick for my step dad on his birthday and he enjoyed it :) thank you for helping me put smiles on the faces of people I love!!

[@magicimpossible7619]

I'd love to be better at creating magic tricks as I am struggling to come up with ideas at the moment for new original tricks. Your magic is such a big inspiration for me and I love it when you release a new video or trick.

[@philmorris2390]

Entertaining. Engaging your audience enables people to connect with you (and you to them). Laughter distraction is so powerful. Sometimes the comedy takes over the magic. Don't fret .. just run with it. While they are all laughing, set up the next phase, and slide it in. They will remember the laughter, as well as the magic.

[@gregluv5294]

More creative, there is nothing more beautiful than creating something, it's new, it's yours, and nobody can take that away from you!

[@splattered63]

Definitely more entertaining, I have quite good sleight of hand technique but am terribly shy, I don't have a lot of confidence in a crowd and currently wouldn't dare expose my sleight of hand card tricks in public, the fear of flashing or being so nervous that I would make a mistake, so I would definitely choose entertaining as a good entertainer is comfortable in front of an audience or a group of people. I tense up and hold cards to tight to do sleights whenever someone is watching. Thanks for the contest.

[@bthread]

More entertaining. I’m a very detail oriented person and usually tend to focus on technique, details, and skill. Card magic has given me an outlet to work on becoming more entertaining and engaging not only in my magic but also in life.

[@yogrego1]

I would have to say "more entertaining" because although i didn't make up this sentiment but as a recipient of entertainment myself and that is: bringing people some entertainment perhaps to forget about their troubles for a little while is such a blessing for both the giver and the reciever. Thank you for your wonderful videos... because they help me forget my troubles for a little while.

[@Drfunkulus]

Loved the vid as always. I've always wanted to be better at slight of hand. I'm just starting out with card magic and I'm in love with it. I've learned a few thing and shown friends and they notice a move once and a while

[@rudyguy21]

Sankey. Great trick sir. For your question I’d rather be creative. I tend to choose the easiest ways to complete work or to please people to like me. Being more creative would help this 10 fold. I have GOOD ideas but being more creative would give me GREAT Ideas. Keep up the great work sir.

[@PatJones82]

I'd rather me more entertaining for sure. I think if you are entertaining the crowd or spectator(s), they are already on board with just about anything you are going to do and you are already a step ahead, as they will surely be more emotionally invested with whatever it is you are doing. Love the videos Jay! :)

[@amptron1776]

I would opt for better at sleight of hand. With sufficient skill I could be entertaining and even with zero creativity, just performing the tricks you share with us would give me plenty of material! Great job as always, and thanks Jay.

[@amazingoly]

Great tutorial, Jay. Keep them coming, please.

[@calebleger]

Great trick! It's very similar to the mechanics of the three card monte routine. If I had to pick which to improve on, it'd be my creativity. Sleight of hand can always be learned if you put in the time to practice. Being entertaining, albeit harder to learn, can still be practiced. You can't really teach creativity. It's something that others just have. It would also come in handy in music, as I like to play guitar and write my own stuff sometimes!

[@bungyplumb8865]

I would choose entertaining in real life. But in slight if hand I choose creativity and better at slight of hand because you can make your own slight if hand and also get away if you messed up. I never thought of using elmsley's count before this trick

[@forthoodian]

Amazing! 🤯 I would want to be better at slide of hand. The reason for this is because there are many many card tricks/illusions that are powerful enough alone that they can be done even if you are not an outgoing or very social person. I am somewhat of an introvert, (hard to make friends) but doing Card tricks and minor little magic tricks have sort of bridged me into a new confidence that allows me to talk to people. That’s important in life (to have friends) and hopefully I will continue to breakdown barriers that hold me back. Using magic tricks, esp. card tricks, I overcome the anxiety that prevents me from socializing as a normal person. I think a lot of ppl have this problem. That’s why when I see ppl like me I can talk to them and even share this method with them. I have given away several decks of cards away to ppl who were too shy to talk to me. Someone like me who is shy or has a hard time fitting in may not engage with me if I approach them but would still allow me to do one trick for them. That’s all I need. Then before you know it we start talking and might even have something in common. Short answer: Slide of hand would help me make friends. Thank you!!!

[@weejim48]

Great trick. I love magic shows. I would love to be able to do this kind of thing . However, I am more than happy to be amazed like everyone else. 👍

[@Raytheon222]

3:27 Not bad I really loved it! 5:18 Since I am having a flood of creativity making new forms of card flourishes and magic and the connection with people is okay. I would have to say slight of hand if there was a short cut for that I would choose that.

[@makushimou]

I like that you are defo a good and unique magician doing a great channel, so many guys out there doing magic channel by copying other people's trick are rubbish compare to you, well done sir and thkuuuu

[@SankeyMagic]

Hey Max - that's a super nice comment. I truly appreciate it. All the best to you and your family.

[@skylerluke]

I clicked on this video thinking Jay Sankey? I havent seen his cahnnel in awile. Lets see if he is still makes really good videos. Holy cow i gotta say i love this and i will definitely look at more of your videos like i did when i first started practicing magic.

[@bigziro]

I would opt to be more entertainer, because it must always be remembered that a magic trick does not require great dexterity in the hands, but to know how to tell it and create a story around it, make it beautiful and fascinating.

[@josephanguiano5241]

I would like to be more creative. Being a musician and magician, creativity just brings a whole new level to your performances and expresses to people who you are. This is what literally makes life magical.

[@Razedot]

More CREATIVE. For sure. I’m a maintenance mechanic at a hospital. I fix all kinds of building related things like electrical things, mechanical things, heating and air conditioning, life safety systems, a lot. A lot of things. Becoming more creative in my career or my daily life could help me to think even more outside the box which could and likely would help me think more quickly on my feet.

[@ezequiel_reis]

I would say being more Creative, it's what gonna allow you to be memorable, you are going to approach things differently not like every other magician ( talking about magic but it applies to anything) doing the same trick like everyone else. When it come to an art form creativity is the best choice, at least its what i think. Great video and keep up the good work.

[@jeffmalyan7403]

Invisible moves with the hands (slight) had a motorcycle accident 2014 among other things I had my left pinky finger amputated, and it has set me back a bit! Now 2019 and it's still in my mind attached, hand all stiff, I guess it's more therapy. Regards and huge Respect, Jeff Malyan Keep it real my friend!

[@musicandcoffee2853]

So powerful and very portable effect; that’s always a great combination for me. I’d be more creative because it could apply to all of life for me. I feel creativity is something that needs to always be in a state a flux and not static. Excellent work as always my friend! 🎼☕️

[@conorcaughey8540]

Nice tutorial as always! To answer the question, I would prefer to have better sleight of hand as I am already good at entertaining people when I want to. I have quite a creative mind also, but would find that having a more advanced sleight of hand skill would allow me to get away with a lot more in a secret way :)

[@knight2472000]

More creative for sure! Creativity is the power to achieve more than the other choices.

[@KevinGoosie]

Jay, amazing video, and I do agree that the outdoors is better, of course it was really windy, but you stuck it out. On to answer your Question of the Week. There is a way to become better at all three. I would first start at being more creative with the presentation of the card tricks I do perform. Not only being more creative in performing card tricks but in any information I may present for my career, make it fun and engaging. I am more of a technical person, so becoming more creative will take some work and will definitely put me out of my comfort zone. While becoming more creative, this will lead into becoming more entertaining. I feel that the two actually go hand-in-hand. An entertainer can also be creative at the same time. They have to come up with ways to keep an audience engaged, and sometimes it is on the fly. All the while one is working on becoming a more creative entertainer, they can also work on their slight skills. The creative entertainer would be able to misdirect, or even cover up the under performed slight, that would have potentially been noticed otherwise without their creative entertaining.

[@SankeyMagic]

Great comment. Thanks!

[@squaringcircles]

I’d rather be better at sleight of hand, which is a huge part of why I watch your instructional videos. My hands aren’t as mobile as they were when I was younger, and I’m using sleight of hand magic to help keep my hands as limber as possible.

[@BiiggAnntt]

Entertaining you can grab anybody's attention and be able to keep their focus while performing sleight of hand. I am a teacher and being entertaining while teaching works wonders I use magic in class all the time and the entertainment gets the kids Everytime

[@davidmalexander1977]

Hello, I love your in the park series! In response to the question of the week, I'd rather be better at being creative. I love that you have made up your own gimmicks and tricks and wish I could do that. Also it would help me create a better routine or transitions from trick to trick.

Thanks - the audio is less than ideal for sure. :)

[@dylanwentz1913]

I would absolutely want to be more creative. It would help me not only with coming up with new tricks and effects, but could help me with my day job as well.

[@jamesallen510]

I would rather be more entertaining because, if one isn't as "smooth" with the mechanics of the trick, being more entertaining provides the misdirection to hide that fact better. Not to say that being good at the mechanics isn't important but being entertaining just makes the illusion much smoother and more amazing. Thanks Jay, you're awesome!!

[@samthemanbtc]

If I could choose to enhance one of the points from this question it would definitely be more entertaining, since I often find myself without any cards or objects to show something astonishing and I could still have a good time and maybe put a smile on their faces.

[@dannytanner7806]

I would love to be better with sleight of hand. The other options come more natural to me. I find sleights the most challenging thing to do. PS. Very cool video today, Jay. Also good luck to everyone entering the contest. HiJacked is soooo good.

[@augustinebott7889]

More entertaining because you can make even the most simple of tricks better by making it more fun and enjoyable.

[@johnvanzandt8208]

Sleight of hand! Currently learning magic and cardistry and it would definitely help with the tricks!

[@Kyle_R_Wolfe]

I would rather be better at being creative because I feel being more creative will allow me to be able to come up with new ways to improve the other two options. Creativity is an amazing attribute to have. You cant have too much.

[@robertbrown9573]

I d choose being more creative sankey man!! Due to the fact ,imo magic is very idealistic for the magician and the audience. The art of suspence and keeping the wonder and awe alive . Love it !!! Keep up the vids 👏👏👏

[@jmoflo]

I would be more creative as it would involve creating new tricks that no one has seen and being able to then see the reactions to what you've created. I create music so being creative is something I already do. I feel that with being creative, you also bring being entertaining and entertaining the crowd, to the table. So that knocks 2 of the 3 options. Thank you!

[@kparbel64]

More entertaining, I'm already creative, and my slights are getting better with practice. Performing in front of people makes easy tricks harder!

[@migzperez1112]

I choose 2 be more entertaining, because I really2 do love magic a lot, and for me to be able to entertain people with my magic, I used 2 practice my sliegh of hands and being more creative on my tricks.. I also do love your chanel so much since I watched your performance on Penn and teller fool us.. You fooled me that night and motivated me to do magic.. Thank you so much sir..

[@bendyparanormal]

Cool trick. Deceptive handling. Multiple moments of magic that defy its apparent simplicity. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. Regarding your question: I would rather be more creative - for a variety of reasons. I think creativity can bleed over into almost any area of life - not just in magic or performing or art. In magic, if you’re more creative, you might be able to get the same reaction/results from a creative means as you would with sleight of hand skills. Or...enhance the results, (make them more baffling), by combining creativity with sleight of hand. (To my first point, think of things like the Invisible Deck, virtually eliminating sleight of hand via creative means. To my second point, think of things like expanded shells; which, when combined with sleight of hand, truly allow for the impossible to occur.) If I’m creative outside of magic, say in a corporate office setting, I may come up with process improvements that result in promotions. So, yeah, of the three options, no matter the situation, I’d opt to be more naturally creative.

[@kgotsomasooa1969]

I will rather be more sleight of hand because I will have the advantage of performing tricks smooth

[@nullx2368]

I'd pick entertaining, sure you can shock them with slight of hand or be unique with creativity but in the end what matters to me is the smile on the spectator face. Aslong you know few tricks that are good enough all you need is get them into it and you got the best magic trick. Simple double lifts sometimes will give you crazy reactions as well... All about making it fun.

[@adamemac]

Great trick, Jay. Super visual. It's really cool how versatile the double lift is. The wind added a nice dramatic effect too. Haha

I would love to be better at slight of hand. I have been told I am already creative and entertaining with the way I perform some of my tricks (i have around 10 -12 card tricks), and i would love to add coin magic to my skillset. Have been doing magic since i broke my wrist in July of 2018.

[@vishnukg007]

It would definitely be creative for me... not that the other two are bad, but since we can only chose one i am inclined towards being more creative. If you are creative anything would be possible. You always improvise and adapt. Thats a great thing.. 😊

[@cfov]

I'm 64 years old and just starting to fool around with magic to keep my brain sharp. I have been a part time musician for 40 years and made really nice strides in entertainment so I already know how to be entertaining. At 64 there's not a lot of hope for me to be a lot better at sleight of hand as my motor skills are not what they used to be. Given that I'd like to be more creative. I am an engineer by trade and I think like one lol. I'd really like to learn more and be able to create illusion devices. I would be thrilled to come up with something that was amazing and would help a lot of magicians for not a lot of money. Grand illusions would be great if I could come up with some as well. Anyway, that's my answers. Be more creative. Thanks for these very informative videos. I have watch a lot of others, but so far these have been the best. Steve McV

I would be more entertaining because you could have best sleight of hand or be able to create the best magic trick in the world but It doesn't matter what trick your doing if you don't make it entertaining people arn't going to care for it or enjoy it. One of the best examples of this is The Amazing Johnathan He doesn't use anything crazy or difficult he just is entertaining.

[@elwyncoates810]

I believe being more skillful and creative are a continuous trek to becoming more entertaining. The first two tie into the third one - practice and experience are a prerequieste.

Creativity , because you could be entertaining and you could find creative ways to do slight of hands to make it easier

I would most rather be entertaining than more creative or better at sleight of hand. The best magicians are entertaining. They can entertain with self working effects or with more complicated effects. These are the magicians that win the hearts and minds of the audience and leave them wanting for more. They are also the most likable by the audience.

[@drewh03]

Creative! I am decent at slight of hand and pretty entertaining (to other ppl at least) but where I find most trouble is creating my own moves tricks or routines there are so many tricks that are awesome but when I find out the secret I’m always afraid it won’t be as good because it is simple. Which I know I’m so wrong about that because I still get great reactions on old tricks that can’t believe still work but it’s just all in my head I guess but I would really like to have things that are mine that only I know and I feel like I could mistify so much better! And take great tricks that I know or learn and up them to unbelievable heights and then I would have something awesome of my own to be able to contribute back to Magic and share with other Magicians

Hi Jay, I would rather be better at sleight of hand. Being I'm older I have no problem entertaining and I'm pretty creative. I started magic back when I was seven until I was about 18. Then life happened and Magic kind of was put on the back burner. Fast forward 30 years later, getting back into magic pretty heavily, now there is the internet and all these tutorials and ways to see what is really out there. We didn't have that 30 years ago. So, sleight-of-hand is not as easy as it used to be. P.S. As Michael mentioned earlier, what do you do when the spectators first guess is the Ace of Spades?

[@SankeyMagic]

"Then life happened." Perfect.

[@suhebahamed329]

Thank you for sharing this amazing trick sir❤️

[@Tulin.b]

Always want to be more creative - useful for artistic hobbies like writing, painting, acting, and sculpting but also for everyday situations and problem solving. Creativity is something that can’t be taught either. Sleight of hand can be learnt and practised and perfected and being entertaining is important and impressive but isn’t crucial for everyone. Whereas if people were more creative then the world would be a better place, not least because of the abundance of art and poetry, but because people would be able to think more creatively which could fuel science and technology as well.

[@gianni4457]

Well in my opinion, it would definitely be the 3rd option, "to be better at sleight of hand", and this is because nowadays, everyone is able to find out how a simple magic trick is done, but when magic is performed in a beautiful way, such as sleight of hand, it takes performances to a new profound level.

I'm a new subscriber, new at learning as much magic as I can and am addicted to being as creative as possible, so I would like to learn MORE about being creative in ways that 😶 people 😄👍. When I was a gymnast (3yrs training with Karolyi for the '88 Olympics till injury ended that dream forever-BUT, it didn't stop me!), my favorite moves/tricks would leave people wondering HOW did she DO that?!?? A full spin on one leg directly into a "full twisting back flip", on the beam. THAT was my favorite one 😜👍. But now 47yrs old and living with MS-my balance may be forever gone, but my wish to continue making people smile (and then have to pick their jaws off the floor 😄😜) will never end. Art has always been my fallback (I enjoy Salvador Dali for HIS creativity in that!) , but MAGIC is my new love and would really appreciate any tips on how to get even MORE creative! ThanQ for your wonderful channel, your inspiring MAGIC(!) and the smile you bring out in me when I watch your videos 😁. 🙌❗👍💜😊❗🙌

[@CaptainNematode]

more entertaining. slights are sometimes just for me or to impress my magic buddies. creativity has always been a strong suit for me, but again if you create a real fooler with a boring plot and a climax that falls flat, does it matter whether you created something new? when I am "on" I can have them rolling with laughter and amazed by my magic with just a couple rubber bands and a quarter. Entertainment is the reason that the art still survives.

[@andrewcowley2691]

I would love to improve my sleights. But I need to train myself to practice more as I am sometimes too impatient. I also need to make my hands grow larger as I do find that small hands can be an impediment to success. Is there a magic formula to increase my hand size?

Hey Jay;) I think I'd go with more creative, I would love to make tricks like you:) I do a ton of music, so I'd say that really putting a part of yourself into whatever it is you are passionate about is really important.

I would love to be more creative as I am confident with my entertainment, a bit less confident with slights. But I can do enough for the mentalism that I do (allot I have learned from you - so thanks allot 😁). But yeah I would love to be more creative to put my own routines together and maybe one day, a stage show! Thanks again Jay🙂

I would choose to be better at sleight of hand. The reason for my choice is quite obvious; as I started with magic just five month ago I have to improve my sleights a lot in order to fool anybody with them. When performing mathematical or self-working tricks, I get quite good reactions. As a high school teacher I'm used to speak in front of an audience and keep them interested, but when using sleight of hand I'm flashing way too often.

I would rather be more creative girl magician because I have some ideas on some deck designs but I just wish I had more creativity for it and be more creative as a person as well. Because I feel like im already entertaining i would just love to be more creative towards conversations and such. I'm really shy and nervous when I'm out with others. Much love to your channel! ❤❤❤
