Ramjollock by Ben Earl

Learn at: www.vanishingi...
Ben Earl caused a SENSATION last year when we released his Less is More hardbacked book, as well as his deck-switching treatise. People know him for beautiful and intricate sleight-of-hand. Today we present a new side of Benjamin Earl, with this fantatsic self working card location.
Ramjollock An INSANE magician-fooler, this effect requires absolutely no sleight-of-hand at all. ANY pack can be used and this is what happens: a spectator cuts anywhere into a deck and remembers the card he cut to and IMMEDIATELY replaces the packet back so the full deck is square. The cards are cut and shuffled multiple times by the spectator, and then the selection is moved anywhere he likes in the pack. When you take back the deck, you can immediately spread through and remove the chosen card.
Running time: 25 minutes

I remember watching this in the Past Midnight DVD's. Earl looks almost like a different person from that time, but his work is always great.

The good old nerdy Ben

[@vipulchawhan6936]

How tf?

[@briangallegos5268]

Although Ben already taught the method many years ago, this tutorial seemed much better explained and with more advice in case something happens during the effect. Fully recommended even though you already know how to do it :)

Brian Gallegos did you get the download ??

[@Felinomania1]

I was asked to do something by presenting Ramjollock and the people around me were stunned. There is no way to find the map ... and yet.

[@mainakchakraborty12]

As always....brilliant

[@audiemuniz6445]

Every time I see it at the end it really cracks me up.

[@garrettm4084]

So, I think I figured it out, but can’t the trick be screwed up if when he moves the card somewhere else, and he moves it to somewhere very close to where it was, then you can’t find it? Also, it needs preparation, right?

[@jab237]

is it impromptu?

[@ShanksTyata]

no, no memorization tho

[@arthurbrilliant3443]

That would be very amazing if this was impromptu👌

[@themaggot8]

If you know how to cull cards, you can absolutely do it impromptu. I've done it

[@davidberger9725]

The foolish part is that he really just takes a look at the card so there is no way to have a key kard I think I will buy this

[@junkdr]

I remember this trick from way back when. I think I figured it out, but I did not put the time into improving it. I think deconstruction is workable, but I always wondered if there was some way to "optimize". For someone who has this trick, would I be correct if there are two major points in which this trick can fail? Although each can be... somewhat managed. I feel like the earlier one can be more full proof, just havent thought of a better way to do it.

[@VanishingIncMagic]

Watch the download for some great suggestions on this :)

[@marcrehula]

I remember this from Last Midnight. It's ingenious, especially the way the shuffling hides the method while making it seem more impossible. Typical of Earl's genius.

[@laughlife7728]

I really can't recognise Earl from time to time, last time, long time back when I saw him in dvd past midnight, he was completely different.. anyways his works are awesome

[@KING-gg5tn]

I love how no one has yet pointed out that this uses the exact same method (although with a slight change in procedure) as _An Instinct for Cards_ in The Royal Road To Card Magic. First of the tricks with the riffle shuffle.

[@VanishingIncMagic]

You should watch the download... Ben points this out :p

[@KING-gg5tn]

Vanishing Inc. Magic I saw this first on Past Midnight. Not sure whether he commented on it there, but what amazes me is that this fools magicians

[@edxin8874]

Thanks for the hint, I have this book, so I'll try to reveal this trick (Red Herring i revealed)

[@edxin8874]

Thank Google Translate. I subscribed for you

[@niklas8523]

The only explanation that comes to my mind would be factory seconds

[@VanishingIncMagic]

Nope :D

[@niklas8523]

Vanishing Inc. Magic wow bens tricks are very good.... i can do that with a stacked deck but that is too impractical. I‘mmreslly baffled

[@niklas8523]

Gaffed academy but... he can cut anywhere

[@AI-qj6ip]

@Gaffed academy there is no crimp card used in this trick, It is done with a normal deck

[@sbpringles9551]

Is this in less is more

[@VanishingIncMagic]

It is not.

Is this gimmickless?

[@danielkelly1285]

100% gimmickless

[@rpfairhurst]

You could do this effect using a ‘breather crimp’ couldn’t you and that would mean hardly any set up etc

[@hectorgarcia5814]

No, he shuffled and move wherever he wanted

[@rpfairhurst]

@@hectorgarcia5814 Yep, but if you use a breather you already know the card and the spectator can still shuffle and move the card... I still like this method though its a cool trick...

[@rpfairhurst]

with a breather crimp you can cut the same card every single time

[@hectorgarcia5814]

@@rpfairhurst you will have to force the card then, is not so free as this version, still is a interesting way to think about it

[@llama859]

@@hectorgarcia5814 spectator can cut to a breather the same as he cut here
