What you showed at 2:20, saying the spectator can choose any card they like (second round), doesn't match the way you showed it in the solution. So, the question is how did you originally force the 9 of hearts?

[@Yonaseen]

^^noticed this too and am also confused about it

[@DanXDelion]

This. In his original performance, the force was way more convincing. Probably, this is a techinque he is not going to reveal to us yet ;)

Pretty much everything I know and learned about magic and stuff is your tutorials. You're a definition of an awesome teacher

[@oscar]

Thanks I really appreciate it ❤️

[@shantiav3692]

@oscar I have a question. If you have time, could you answer my question please?

[@disgruntledtoons]

Can you show us some more tricks with pens

[@trainer_alec]

Thank you so much for this Oscar, I've recently started watching your channel and your tutorials are so easy to understand/pick up on ❤️

[@dalebaker9109]

Utterly superb Oscar. I have been watching your videos for at least 3 years, and you always bring something new to the table. Absolutely incredible tricks, that are tops for a beginner to learn. Also priceless to anyone keen in magic.

[@RobertBallMagician]

Wonderful performance Oscar. This is now considered a classic in magic. 👍😊💪😊👍💪🎩👏👏

[@buntingl77]

I already learned this trick but your version made it a whole lot more convincing! Thanks

[@sasinduprageeth3696]

Thank you so much oscar ❤ you are a great magician ❤❤

[@johnhill2169]

Just for the record it was originally called the Chicago Opener or Red Hot Momma by Al Leech a Chicago cardman sometime in the 1950's. Pop Haydn in 1982 in his routine changed the name to Chicago Surprise to better distinguish a few of his subtleties he added to the trick.

[@RobertBallMagician]

😊👍😊

[@mindfulmagician7550]

Yup, I learned this trick from Michael Ammar too, Red Hot Momma like you described. Would love to learn more about the different subtleties with other variations. It's been a while since I've performed this trick. I dont' recall the nice sublety in first phase with asking the spectator to say stop as we're cutting packets of cards before putting the other packet on top, place the red card on top.

[@yasirali1596]

Wow Oscar owen you really inspired me to do magic tricks...thanks I really appreciate it...😊

[@oscar]

Thanks bro!

[@danieltiger1525]

What I like doing for this trick is to start off with the red card in gamblers cop so that I can full spread the deck so to add the small detail of no red card in sight... but do you think that that subtlety would work? (Amazing tutorial as always 🙂)

[@oscar]

I think it is possible! But just having a clump of cards as done in the tutorial is less risky and no one ever questions it :)

[@danieltiger1525]

Ok, ty!

[@FrogStuggs-jj3ut]

I started learning magic at 13 too

[@shantiav3692]

Hey man I was wondering if you could upload a video on this channel where you perform, like 3 magic tricks like a live show. I think it'll be amazing, and if you could make a video where people ask you some questions, not just about magic, like you did last time

[@oscar]

Yes I can. I’m slowly going to be uploading content like that (live performances, questions, how to get more confident etc). However I’m making this transition slowly - so over the coming weeks you’ll see more content like that :)

[@shantiav3692]

Appreciate it man

[@goodsonmukendi]

And even i took my mom and dad phones to subs to your channel lol🤣🤣🤣

[@oscar]

Hahah thanks!

[@letzvisit1661]

I’m just starting out in magic. I’ve started with some cars tricks. I’m having a really hard time handling the cards and feeling just one or two cards. Are there any simple things I can practice to get better at controlling cards and learning to do the lifts etc? Any tips would be most helpful. Any books worth buying that show some beginner friendly tricks? Thanks

[@redblack8414]

Don't count on Owen ''the little parasite'' to teach you that. He just exposes secrets. I suggest that you buy ''The Royal Road to Card Magic'' by Hugard and Braue. It's an old book that is still published today. It is made for the beginner and teaches you in a clear way how to master card sleights and entertain with a deck of cards. When you will have mastered the content of the book, you will be a competent card magician, far better than the ''little parasite''. Best of luck.

I remember this!

[@deckwizar]

at 2:25, you say that the spectator has free choice to pull out any card that they like, then how come you've used hindu force in the tutorial? if the spectator pulls out any card randomly, then how would it work?

[@oscar]

I would do the ‘classic force’ normally but it would take another 20 mins to explain it, so I switched it up to the Hindu force which is easier to explain and works well. But look up the classic force if you want to know how I managed to do it!

[@DL-kc8fc]

It's a classic trick and it's not the best in the world. :) But the poor final phase was chosen, which depreciated the WoW effect. The tutorial was also very confused.

[@oscar]

[@barthvapour]

You used the "classic" force in the demo, but that's not a 100% reliable force. What do you do if the spectator doesn't pick the card you are trying to force with that method?

[@mindfulmagician7550]

If you're not confident with the classic force, don't do it

Can you make your master class for free i dont have a lot of money

[@iRafaelkr]

2:29 you show the "reach in and pick a card" on this example On the explanation you showed the "Hindu force", but you could explain how you forced the card on the 1st example too Cause I think other people wouldn't be fooled by the "Hindu force". You're picking cards from the top, and showing them the bottom card anyway? Idk

[@roygroup6847]

How did you force nine of ❤ 2nd time. You did't use hindu force. But your revealed ?

[@oscar]

I used the classic force!
