@@SpideyHypnosis we can do second deal as well

[@SpideyHypnosis]

@@magicwithsoumith1061 no you can’t. Because you’re not only forcing the 2 of spades you need to force the TWO top cards and the bottom 4. You can’t do that with a bottom deal.

[@gregoryw1]

Since you are choosing the card for them and know what it will be, it would be even more effective if, for example it was a 7 or hearts, if you picked the seventh word on the page as the word you wrote down. then when you “find” their card you could say something like “is this your card” and when they say yes, you then say “ok, so let’s count to the seventh word on the page” (which you have already written) - it just adds one more dimension

[@613aristocrat]

I know some people think learning how a trick is done makes it less magical. I do not feel the same way. The technique and presentation is magic to me, and far more interesting and entertaining than a trick.

[@ShiruSama1]

Same for me!! I love seeing what magicians come up with, and also once you know the actual trick you can admire how they learned to do it so flawlessly

[@chelseyld2009]

[@vondagrigsby6211]

Exactly

[@redace4821]

I only find trick less magical if it's gimmick or gaff. Much prefer Sleight of hand.

[@a20axf]

Often knowing how it was done makes it all the more impressive. Sometimes it’s even more difficult to see where they do the “trickery” in their routine.

[@grahamblack1961]

Sometimes when you see how a trick is done it's really disappointing but seeing how this was done just made it even more impressive.

11:49 That switch is called the Allerton Switch by Bert Allerton!

[@SpideyHypnosis]

Thanks 😊 will add to description. Any clue where it was published?

[@leavebenalone]

@@SpideyHypnosis it can be found in Card College vol 4, but I'm not sure where it was first published.

[@SpideyHypnosis]

@@leavebenalone ok I’ll do some history research on it soon and place it in the description then. Thanks!

[@leavebenalone]

@@SpideyHypnosis already did it for you 😁 Excerpt from the credits section of Card College vol 4: "Allerton's switch first appeared in Hugards Magic Monthly, Vol. ill, No. 3, August 1945, page 144. This magazine has recently been reprinted in book form by Magico: New York"

[@SpideyHypnosis]

@@leavebenalone thanks so much!!! Adding now

[@liamteleg4240]

Added convincer: Place duplicate force cards in two other random books at the same page number. Pick books with interesting first words on your chosen matching page number. Memorize and associate those words with each book. Display the three books to the spectators and have one freely chosen. Tell them there’s no way you could’ve known in advance what book they would’ve chosen. Write your prediction using the word you memorized for that particular book and set it in plain view or give it to a spectator to hold. Proceed with the trick as Spidey explained.

[@OTRGlobal]

good one!

[@TheJoy___]

Which word from which book do you write on your prediction then?

[@Hefnandi]

​@@TheJoy___ You can, for example, have 3 envelopes in your jacket in an order 1 for Book 1, 2 for Book 2, etc. Then when your Friend said i want this Book, you took the good envelope from your jacket and said i wrote a prédiction before this party blablabla

[@poetrycinema4232]

I performed your trick it was a hit Also I made some variations For instance I used a dictionary instead of novel so the words won't repeat And it was a great effect Also I didn't have a proper duplicate card but I managed with a bit similar design placing it in the deck of cards Which was greatly excepted because my family knew that we don't have a duplicate pair Thanks for this superb trick

[@drumman1185]

I really enjoyed the whole trick. I’ve been collecting so many techniques and moves, but the art of putting them together in a routine eludes me.

[@johnlipski3995]

WOW! WOW!...Yes that is a Double WOW...Not to be confused with BOW, BOW as that is a dog barking. Thank you for sharing a very powerful and relatively easy mentalism effect. Just a bit of practice and you have a WOW, WOW moment. Presentation is everything in this effect... as with all effects, even the easy ones, Practice, Practice, Practice.

[@curtishoffmann6956]

At the start of the explanation, I'm just shaking my head, no I don't know how this trick was done. Then, just before the riffle force demo, my eyes are wide and I'm just grinning ear to ear, thinking, "This is brilliant!" Everything else is just icing. Well played, Spidey.

[@DawnDavidson]

I’m one of your Behavioral Arts friends, and I landed over here after enjoying a couple of Penn and Teller videos, so the algorithm sent me here. Love your content, Spidey. You make all this so accessible. Not that I’m trying any of your card tricks. That’s not my thing. For one thing I am just painfully honest! But I love how you meticulously plan every bit and know exactly how people are going to react to reinforce the illusions you play with. You are so smart and so kind, which is just a really rare combination in my experience. No one minds being fooled by you! Guess I just needed my Spidey fix this week, since you were off elsewhere and had no BA upload last Saturday. 😂 Thanks for everything, Spidey. Looking forward to whatever you have cooked up for us this week!

[@MichaelRoth-ft9ny]

I always feel like other channels have harder learning steps. But you have the best and easiest steps ever! Thank you for your dedication! 😊❤

[@tamandatroell2892]

I can't believe all the work and slight of hand that goes in to making these tricks seem so effortless. Ty for sharing. i agree knowing the trick doesn't take away from the magic it adds to it, cause it takes that much more talent to pull it off.

[@scatterrealms5166]

Oh wow thats good, I have a few ideas now to modify! I think I'll get audience members to come to the show with a book, get them at the start in the foyer, load every single book with a suitable number of pages backstage during the first half of the show- and get a spectator to choose a book from the stack. Damnit Spidey, your tutorials rock there's SO MUCH you can do with this!

[@jackmartinleith]

As another commenter has noted, you would need a different prediction word for each book.

[@EphraimGlass]

I've never looked into how it was done before, but I've seen that riffle force done enough times now that I know, whenever a magician uses that selection method, they're forcing a card.

[@Theoneandonlycmoney]

You really outdid yourself this time! My family was in aw. It’s really easy to learn and is really good. You never disappoint. MAGIC IS THE BEST!😄😄😄

[@INKovari]

So simple! Just need a book where every page starts with the word trickery.

[@RaghavGuptaTrickery]

Like the creative process which goes in making this trick. Also I think this might be the only channel which shows us a performance first and then teaches a trick in detail including subtleties with over the shoulder view.

[@tiggert4002]

I always wanted to learn how to use books as props. This fooled me so hard. And that ending, I did not see it coming.

[@SpideyHypnosis]

@tigger t the guy who called you a fool has been banned from the channel. As you know this is a bully free channel and attacking you on grammar for an enthusiastic comment will not be tolerated 😊 glad you enjoyed the trick

[@tiggert4002]

@@SpideyHypnosis thank you. I figured that someone would see his comments at some point. In the mean time I just tried to be polite-ish.

[@SpideyHypnosis]

@@tiggert4002 I mean who argues over vernacular like that? Penn often says on fool us “that fooled us really bad.” In magic there are degrees of fooling. Like if something fools you but you might have a bit of an idea or guesses it’s very different than you being completely clueless. So he was mean, and wrong.

[@tiggert4002]

@@SpideyHypnosis if we are being honest, people rarely speak or write correctly. As long as my point got across, it's fine. At least now that guy isn't going to bother anyone else. I like that about this channel, especially in the live streams, that you care about your followers.

[@TrashTrackers]

I've studied magic for quite a while and know my share of tricks, but this one caught me off guard. So many variables and it's drawn out to make it seem even more random. Well done!

[@ch1nmqy132]

I really loved the ending of the trick, where you showed how "destiny" brought the 6 cards together to literally make their card. That reminded me of a classic reveal, where 5 random letters a spectator chose somehow turned into a date. Not just any date, the date the trick was performed.

[@sharadsemilo]

Please share the link if possible. It sounds really good

[@Sabahaviv26]

i learned that a year ago and it is still the best trick i have! pls do more videos like that, it is so awsome that you involve so many diffrent parts and items in a magic. it makes it seems completly random. love that!

[@tonyd.2086]

Very clever! I see that it really doesn’t matter if the spectator doesn’t say stop where the forced page is and I don’t have to tear off the pages in the book. Thanks Spidey!

This was kickass !!!! Had seen it in one of the shows and was blown by it.... Now the I've learnt how to do it.... I'm super-blown !!!!

[@PhilippBoettcher]

When performing in the real world again, after „throwing in“ the spectator‘s card you could casually ask a nearby audience member if she would like to help and throw in the remaining cards.

[@SpideyHypnosis]

Yeah absolutely!

[@RRBBVamp]

Very smooth. I watched the trick again in slow mode and only caught the missing pinkie (holding your spot) and hiding the 7 behind the 2. Very well executed. 👏

[@jestergreekgamer1275]

Hi Spidey! In my point of view, the last part of the trick, falls to " too perfect theory"". It's better not to use that, because, subconsciously maybe, but you tell them that you forced the cards. The effect is stronger if they really believe that the card was really their selection. The presentation, really good, nice touch

[@ahanadesai1261]

Spidey I absolutely love your videos and you are very cool. I really appreciate everything thing you do on this channel and your tricks are really dope. My family was really amazed by these tricks and mentlism that I learned from your videos

[@orisphera]

I have an idea of a trick where the secret is that there are a lot of different ways there could be a coincidence. There already is a trick (in multiple variations) that fits the idea, but I'd like more and better in some way such tricks. The existing trick is a small example of one. In it, an audience member guesses one of four options by selecting two so that there are now two and then selecting one of them. In both cases, the magician chooses whether to interpret that as choosing to leave or eliminate them. (I think I'd realise that after enough times, but I can't test that - it's complicated.) In my idea, there can be many ways it can go. For example, the magician can ask to pick the word in one of ways that seem special, combined with a choice of book where they can always find one for which the trick works. (The latter isn't really from this idea, but it's hard to use it alone to create a large one.) A downside of such a trick is that the magician may have a lot to memorise to only use a small but unpredictable fraction of it

[@yoosufnaail2499]

Thats realy amazing, i'l defenetly perform it, but first i'l have to find a way to do it without a duplicate. Because I don't have one. But that doesn't change anything on the fact that the video was amazing. Thank you very much, Spidey.

[@poetrycinema4232]

If you have pair of similar deck For instance I have two pack of decks with different seashore design . I placed the duplicate in the pile when you place down the seven turn the deck of cards blocking there view for the design of the next card I too didn't have a duplicate card but this worked and better because my family new that we don't have a duplicate pair of cards

Loved this! Has some neat twists. I’m a newbie and a little nervous about manipulating the cards.

[@SpideyHypnosis]

You got this!!! 🤗. Just practice until you can do it without thought and you’re gonna crush it

[@tobyhullyer7907]

Another thing you could maybe do for this trick to give it a bit of extra audience participation is you can have 6 books, 1 being your book with the card already in the page and 5 other random ones. Lay the books out on the table with your chosen book third from the left. Ask them to pick a number between 1-6 and depending on what they say do the following: 1 - count from left to right O-N-E. 2 - count from left to right T-W-O 3 - count from left to right 3 4 - count from right to left F-O-U-R 5 - count from right to left F-I-V-E 6 - count from left to right S-I-X. It makes them feel like they have a free choice of what book to chooses when they didn't.

[@SpideyHypnosis]

And all the books have a duplicate in there?

[@jugglinbob]

This might work for you in your style, but I've always thought this was a silly force - and I've only used it in a comedy routine where I'm clearly forcing an item (bait and switch type). If shown six objects and asked to pick a number to then spell letters is nonsensical.

[@DavidSharpMSc]

This is some smooth and subtle guerrilla marketing Paul Ekman’s great book “Telling Lies”!!

[@joemcnamara6467]

Another EXCELLENT tutorial. Love this effect. Thank you for sharing.

[@alexandrudarie6691]

This is great! I think something that would be cool to do is to double under cut after you put down “their” so basically a fake shuffle and the you say I’m going to choose the cards at the bottom.

My goodness! I never expected to fall in love when I clicked on this video 😍 She is adorable ♥️

[@ZGBrickfilms]

Wow! I love the kicker ending with the cards revealing the page number! And the method is absolutely genius! Great video Spidey!

[@theadamabrams]

The video is very well done, but personally I think the ending takes away from the magic of the trick. After the prediction I wasn't sure how the trick was done, but as soon as I saw the cards are 256 257 the only possibility was that _none_ of the cards were random / free choice. After the initial "wow" moment, the ending literally removed a lot of the mystery for me.

[@Rhewin]

@@theadamabrams the fact it’s an open prediction effect already makes it clear there’s a force involved. It wouldn’t be possible remotely, but in person this could be elevated to a mind reading routine, revealing much more than a single word. Though at that point you might as well just stick with Hoy and eliminate the cards all together.
