Very good.

A new excellent new way to do many cards trick/ Thanks. wonderful magic trick. Cesar 🎩🎩🎩 from Caracas, Venezuela.

Incredible🤩

[@samwright738]

This is awesome especially for acaan

Hi Sean, in the last trick you could ask them for a number between 10 and 20 and with a little thought produce it at that number. 15 would be golden but plenty of simple ruses to tweak the position of their card to their selected number. See you at JC’s masterclass later in April Cheers Andy

[@SeanDevine]

You definitely could! In fact I have a trick like that that I will be teaching in the JC masterclass lol. It’s variation on an old Jennings trick. Complete different method.

[@MyTardisGoWhoosh]

You are such a good teacher I don't think know this enough

[@SeanDevine]

Thank you ☺️

[@bluetone11]

Nice one Sean. ♣♥♠♦

[@rdavison7316]

Great as always! How about a future video on uses of a double-thick card.

[@SeanDevine]

Could make a good series!

Something I'd avoid is noticeably counting cards when dividing, like nobody will ignore you counting the deck to exactly 26 card halves. Also I'd really avoid pulling attention to a lot of shuffling and cutting if there's a part of the deck you won't shuffle. Like splitting in three piles and shuffling before, then after but only the piles they didn't choose (and maybe the one with a marker card). I saw someone doing exactly that, they first shuffled and cut and then after the pick they only shuffled the one pile that didn't matter and after they collected the cards they would only cut, it was really obvious that they had a very specific plan and rules. Presenting for engineers and mathematicians I'd also avoid pulling attention towards counting from top of the deck. Secretly peeking a marker card and for example spreading them and mystifying it works much better. In general the more you talk and distract and create a story to mask it makes it better.

This is a wonderful principle. Wonderful sharing 👏😊👏😊👍👍🍺

[@ignaciosejas718]

More videos about mathematicals principles!!

[@donpodlas5546]

That's a cool math principle! I love the last application you demonstrated. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers!

[@smoorikin6648]

Fantastic explation......thank you for sharing ❤

[@MurshidIslam]

Another idea: if we can get the spectator's card at the 22nd position (using the thick card), we can then perform Darwin Ortiz's Maximum Risk, where the performer can repeatedly eliminate half the deck by dealing two hands, and the final remaining card turns out to be the spectator's card. It's a lot of dealing, but Darwin Ortiz made an entertaining presentation out of it in his book "Scams and Fantasies with Cards".

[@RelaxationKing411]

Could have them name a word at the beginning and at the end spell that word to get to their card. Brilliant method! Thanks for sharing

[@donpodlas5546]

I also see that you will be joining John Carey for a work-shop on the 25th of April. John has done some amazing work over the years and seems like such a nice man. I'll be joining you guys! Take care and be well....

[@SeanDevine]

He is very kind indeed! It’s going to be a good one.

[@user-qi3yv2py4u]

love the content sean

[@andywhy5879]

You could turn this into a form of ACAAN by setting their card around the mid point (I'd go for 20th for quicker maths), then asking for any number. Add or remove the extra cards from the bottom or top to make the number chosen. For example, if they say 24, take 4 cards from the bottom to the top and you are done. Add theatrics by splitting the deck into 3 piles and shuffling the top and bottom pile (keeping the middle pile with their card unshuffled) and then reform the deck in the correct order. Then count - card at their chosen number.

[@SeanDevine]

So many possibilities! That’s the beauty of this principle.

[@gaffedacademy]

First 👍

[@SeanDevine]

Nice to see you here!

[@gaffedacademy]

Here every video 👍

Neat...

[@andreginting_19]

how can I cut the cards to position 26 without crimp?

[@SeanDevine]

It just takes a lot of practice. If you can split it at 26 in your hands when doing a faro shuffle, it’s the exact same concept.

[@jayinstandarddefinition]

Eh, wait a minute... 3 X 17 = 51

[@SeanDevine]

Good call lol. Failed to mention that you have to remove one card from the deck.

[@fldom4610]

personally i dont really like that much self working tricks as i like tricks that are harder and require skill. However there are still some self working gems

[@robertvanhoutii5886]

It's fun to practice very technical moves, but also keeping a few tricks that still blow a layperson's mind, in your pocket is quick and easy!
