[@Justin_Choy]

Dude you are COMPLETELY responsible for getting me addicted to magic! Thank you so much :)

[@MatchuFtw]

You are most welcome my friend!

[@ronrawhoof1622]

I never thought I could learn card magic at 41 years old. You’ve made it possible to learn!

[@SuperHighSpeeder]

You really get in-depth with the tutorials, Jay, even the double lift which is the first thing you should learn.There aren't many on youtube like you, THANKS! :)

[@keithbyers4835]

You are awesome to be putting these videos out there and give people a chance to start learning magic!

[@joshuaboyer7027]

I just decided to pick up Sleight of Hand out of nowhere. It's going to be a sweet talent to know. I'm not always good at making friends, but I love performing and I think I can use this a a social barrier to help overcome that. Thank you, Jay.

[@MatchuFtw]

Joshua Boyer You're most welcome my man! Goodluck on your sleight of hand career!

[@joshuaboyer7027]

Jay Nation That's awesome that you take the time to leave a comment, even if it's short. I'll be sure to follow you and watch your vids and I'll ask if I have any questions. Thanks, Jay!

[@MatchuFtw]

Joshua Boyer No problem my man!

[@isabellaschubert6735]

[@SatishBallal]

[@scottchaput4965]

So I work at a day camp during the summers, and I just recently got into card tricks as a way of entertaining them. This is going to blow their mind tomorrow! Thanks for great tutorials! Definitely subscribed :)

[@felixwu5293]

Hi jay! I just want to thank you for your tutorial it really helped me out a lot, like the double lift tutorial i really like the method you use,the one we pick the double card in the middle! Thank you jay i hope you got more success in the future! God bless...

[@MatchuFtw]

Felix Wu Cheers Felix!

[@DemonSlayer199]

Nice video man, I really wanna learn some tricks/illusions. You make it look easy, keep making more videos and ill look forward to watching them :)

[@MatchuFtw]

DemonSlayer199 Will do my man!

[@subsWithnovideos-dq9cx]

This trick (I didn't perform it) fooled shin lim amazing how easy of a trick this to

[@mrtopleft5339]

Can some one tell me more magic tricks as appealing as this one? This has got to be one of the best out there. Out of over 20 - 25 tricks i have learned, there are only 3 which have been to be the best. Thanks in advance.

[@Jason-ef9dc]

Well if you're gonna be learning from KZbin , j doubt you'll find anything good

[@bruceyoung7821]

The patter is new to me, but the trick if more effective with a better slight. Use a new (coated) deck and the duplicate card, but force the card with fast misdirection.(quickly pulling the top card onto the portion of cards on which the spectator stopped and allowing him or her to memorize it.)

[@sureshchandrajena9134]

Brother congratulations. Thank you so much for the revelation. Hindu shuffle the most ancient shuffle.

[@SensesPhil87]

I love this trick. Nicely performed.

[@damiennichol6618]

Thanks for your videos, I think they are amazing.

[@MatchuFtw]

Damien Nichol Cheers man!

[@Sardor_Alamov]

Dude your channel is very awesome! You are very helpful and I defiantly know that you deserve more likes and subs!

[@maazkazmi9320]

Nice tricks, good tutorials. You should get more subscribers.

[@veronicamorelli1565]

Now that makes sense- thanks for showing this - great video

[@ivryshlomi]

I know this trick and you sir just did it perfect

[@boramiyu17]

Well I was following along with you on this awesome magic trick, I got the same card you got from the fan flourish, the ace of spades... Now that's some freaky magic you have there. :3 not forgetting thanks for teaching meh awesome magic tricks.

[@MatchuFtw]

Anotherknight3 No problem!

[@redflamelcd]

Maybe someone could educate me but it always seems to me no matter how good the sleights are and as smooth as they look the minute someone does a double lift, the trick is dead. It's the most obvious thing in the world because no one on earth flips a card over like that. Is there a way to do it so it actually looks natural?

[@MatchuFtw]

redflamelcd Surprisingly enough, the only reason you believe this is because you know what a double lift is and just how it works. A majority of people in the world don't spend any time with a deck of cards, nor do they interest themselves in what they're doing or how they flip/hold the cards. When you perform double lifts in different manners, the audience or spectator simply thinks that you have a flourishy way of touching the deck rather than you're doing something mischievous. Now this doesn't apply to everyone, but I've rarely encountered someone who's wondered why I do double lifts the way I do.

[@redflamelcd]

I guess so but I believe the impact is greater the more natural sleights look.

[@KeyWarPlays]

Jay Nation I agree with jay, when I knew nothing about card tricks all of them impressed me, but now I've got used to slights and double lifts I can see them a mile off and every time it amazes me how people fall for it...

[@PhranklinEspo]

Jay Nation I don't know what a double lift is and it was still super obvious to me. Totally killed it for me as well

[@MatchuFtw]

Frank Esposito Oh well, best move on then :)

[@prospectdenied5044]

Such an amazing trick man! Loved it!

[@skyphi]

Next video you should teach us how you did the instant vanish at the end of the video ;)

[@evephillips3464]

this is SO beginner i mastered this trick and iv been doing magic for a week

[@MatchuFtw]

+Eve Phillips Woo!

[@felix256]

+Eve Phillips Haha noob, i started 5 minutes ago and im already astounding people!

[@evephillips3464]

ssssuuurrrreee

[@felix256]

First try. Get back to school!

[@TheMuffinMan]

I learned this trick before I was born!

[@TheRCDDCR]

Please make more videos like this you realy explain very good, merry chistmas.

[@MatchuFtw]

Cheers and Merry Christmas to you my friend!

[@francollins4036]

Truly is a great trick.

[@fyxzer96cardmagic74]

This card trick is really Good i have come up with my own idea when i have the colored card on the bottom and then the duplicate on top

[@InvisibleTrev]

Great performance man

[@pu3zle]

Awesome trick! Merry Christmas btw !

[@MatchuFtw]

Cheers and Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@pu3zle]

Jay Nation You do very good tutorials, you explain them very good, your performance is great, you deserve more than 1K subs...I hope your channel will grow up fast !

[@MatchuFtw]

***** I hope it does as well! The problem is 700+ of my subscribers are from years past and don't get on their youtube accounts anymore. It doesn't bother me though. I post because I love it and I want you all to have the BEST possible explanations for these tricks and flourishes. When I was learning through youtube I had really crappy tutorials and I don't want you guys to experience that!

[@pu3zle]

Jay Nation ...and we have the BEST explanations! So thank you for these videos and for these great tutorials !

[@SKyrim190]

Maybe it is because I am binge watching through your channel but I though the "selection" of the second card was a little obvious how we are always going to pick up the card at the bottom of the deck, no matter when we say stop

[@synriser6742]

great trick. For me the double lift is the hard part. I have an ordinary deck of cards. Are BC cards so much different?

[@MatchuFtw]

Don Segers Segers I'm not sure what BC cards are exactly, but they might have a different make to them or something

[@spartanmonkey4479]

Awesome video bro thank you👍

[@z4rkenny]

lol i figured it out before the tutorial. neat trick. u have 2 five of clubs one is a blue one and u controlled it at the bottom and did a double lift at one point

[@ramsimon8045]

I need a tutorial for this tutorial to understand what actually happens. but joke aside this is a great tutorial very well detailed and clean.

[@MatchuFtw]

Ram Simon Thanks man! Glad you learned something

[@gagandeeptatter70]

that was a good trick well done

[@DMH026]

Nice flash at 1:08

[@yigras]

nice ending and grate trick.

[@MatchuFtw]

Thanks Mozzy!

[@dalebaltazar2411]

Great work bro.

[@idontrte]

Love You Jay

[@noahrichard195]

do a video on the card cascade shuffle🃏

[@PrasantKumarV76]

Whowwww!! That's so nice!! Time to practice :D

[@mikey-yb7pi]

Great stuff! Thanks

[@jds2056]

Amazing! Finally found something a little new to me :) the only question I have is, why do you always use a dirty and crappy deck of cards?? I'm OCD and that bothers me.

[@truscorpio13]

They're obviously not crappy if they're fanning so well. My Bicycle deck looks like that and I just got them a few days ago.

[@VULGARxRM]

What if the person you give the card to looks at the face of it? might be better to just leave it on the table so they aren't tempted to turn it over once in the back end of the trick and the 5 of clubs is placed

[@fabiotellez6192]

this is really cool. thnx

[@zanegardner385]

Nice trick I learn mastered it In four tries well..... kinda

[@4perpect]

Thank you for your great lecture

[@MatchuFtw]

Your welcome!

[@hanatai001-T]

this is blue cool papa!

[@idontrte]

I DID IT!!!!!! Lets Goooo

[@sitirahani2502]

how it went? its been 5 years now

[@jordanmoore1533]

Does it matter if they choose one of the two bottom cards? I imagine it would....

[@leighhardstaff3070]

Just like the Chicago opener

[@musicalhemant]

hatts off bro....

[@swapnilghosh8603]

amazing.... loved it

[@ibajibadoesminecraft9044]

[@ibajibadoesminecraft9044]

Thank you :)

[@yoimphillip]

[@MatchuFtw]

philly willy Thanks man!

[@TheRickeyDean]

[@abeisdumb]

Im confused, but its still really cool!

[@MrLopez-og4gd]

you should show us the trick using slight of hands to "change money" into higher value bills

[@darwn977]

Excellent :-)

[@MatchuFtw]

Abu Lahab Thanks mate!

[@D3P3]

Chicago, what a great city

[@strazone7438]

It's a shame Jay doesn't make videos anymore...

[@amasis1752]

What deck do you use ????

[@Madcowe]

ya know, this trick is rather simple-ish and is by far the most mind blowing I've made for friends xD Highly recommend you practice this one :P

[@yumna5163]

nice trick

[@dickcheese4048]

So what's the psychological thing behind it?

[@andyspacesalax-ascphxanovi2172]

Awesome!

[@memegicianOfficial]

Hey, Jay, I haven't quite mastered the fan flourish yet, but whenever I flourish, I can't seem to get the bottom card to not show. How can I improve the way this looks?

[@MatchuFtw]

Daniel Foster My advice is to use less cards from the bottom when you spread the cards in your hand. Almost start the fan from the middle of the deck

[@memegicianOfficial]

Thanks! I've gotten pretty good at this now, and added the trick to my repetoire, but there's one thing I was hoping you could help me with. I've come across one or two spectators who, when I'm doing the first card-strip, intentionally wait until the bottom card to say stop. What do I do if I realize this is what they're doing so that I don't have to start over and make the trick look awkward?

[@ivanozik2450]

Thanks man!!!

[@magsapp6421]

bro my thumbs up for the intro

[@jamesanderson-ke7dz]

Thank god for playback speed settings in KZbin at 6:25

[@sungminc4529]

What's the move performed in 1:14 called?

[@gabbedavidson7013]

Isnt it possible to do the ''prediction'' trick u have on your youtubechannel at 7:00 instead? :D

[@MatchuFtw]

gabbe davidson Haha yeah you probably could. That would be a nice way to pick the second card for sure

[@lennarthesch6354]

What is this special double lift flourish whatever called? :-D

[@Lukerville1988]

That’s a good trick

[@nonsense8645]

What do you the double lift you use

[@ryanle9396]

Thanks

[@lilbreadstick5784]

you did a great job with this trick, but i think it should be labeled beginner, not intermediate

[@jakepinsky6957]

for the tutorial, when he chose the ace of spades I randomly chose the ace of spades

[@ptutmwbkim]

hope you make more video dude~

[@jimj2109]

Awesome

[@joeytulips2180]

In multiple videos you mention there's psychology behind it but in each one of those videos you also tell us you're not going to get into it will you ever tell us the psychology?

[@ketanshah1711]

awesome

[@eugenegwapo05]

Smooooth. . .

[@zainahmed2290]

ur intro scares the Hell outta Everyone

[@dominicfavia23]

Nice

[@quoipi]

what happens if they choose the blue card

[@MRCHALK-uj7zu]

damn that is a good trick

[@ronaldmaxwell6668]

this us amazing

[@mangagurl22]

Cool video when are you going to make a new video

[@MatchuFtw]

Selena Lai Made one today bub!

[@dancoats8986]

Jay Nation

[@clevername4781]

Good work but that intro kills me brother.lol

[@kristiancarroll5797]

so when i peform i get so nervous i shake and it makes some stuff hard to do.... im nervous about something being revelaed and looking like a jackass and the my hand shake and well stuff is revelaed way easier has happend to me yet but what can i do to over come this just keep going at it till it goes away i guess?

[@MatchuFtw]

Kristian Carroll The biggest thing you need to understand is that YOU WILL FAIL! Nobody in life has succeeded in anything they've done without failing multiple times. Once you come to terms with that, the nervousness will fade. Whenever I make a mistake, I just laugh it off and tell my audience that they got that trick for free, and then I move on to the next sleight. Your spectators are on your side during your performance. They want you to do well. Nobody likes those awkward situations, but if you use them to your advantage like laughing and moving forward, your audience will become more relaxed with you and thereby making you more relaxed during performances!

[@mikeyuso9231]

Jay Nation I have same problem this should help thanks

[@legitnessvines6899]

Excuse me, I have a question. How do you say your name. Gay nation, or jay nation like a bird?

[@johnbasilan6759]

Heh i learned this from watching shin lim's fool me, the girl did the trick and i had to try and figure it out on my own

[@andrewp360]

I learned that I have more trust issues now😂😂

[@invinsyllable]

Does the thought of Illusions of this sort appeal to anyone else. Sleight of hand, illusions. I'm interested to learn this.

[@MatchuFtw]

Shadow It appeals to me!!!

[@invinsyllable]

^^ I have been itching to learn these tricks for some time.

[@anirvinvaddiyar7671]

Wow!

[@Jason-ef9dc]

I believe this was called the Chicago opener
