The Card Trick I Paid $2,743 To Learn - Diary of a Magician

[@meghanmcclintock1547]

Marco Frezza!!!! this is now my 3rd video watching you. The last 2 I saw I commented and I subscribed. I spoke about how amazing you were at picking my number and finding my card (well it was more like you guided me to finding my card). But I also commented on the fact that I needed to see these videos, I needed to smile and be happy. This video, I feel was a whole nother, for lack of a better word right now "trick". because this time you spoke about life and what you need to do when you find something that you really want to be good at or better at. I feel there is no way for me to really explain what I am trying to say... But again thank you for What you do, for your passion, and following it. thank you for bringing others along with you. most of all thank you for bringing me along, all be it just for a few minets. Even crazier you Did this video almost a year ago and I am just now seeing it, and it's helping me.

[@damyanguzman8262]

I ha e full on respect for you Marco. You do the tutorials so smooth so easy. Your not shy you can talk to the camera. You also reply to every comment wich is awesome. I have not met one youtuber that replies, that's what makes you stand out. No magician has anything on you. Any ways just wanted to let you know how good you are, keep up the good work! :)

[@marcofrezza]

Tks DG :)

[@Skurk_]

Most underrated magician on youtube, started watching your videos back in the day of when you would do mind tricks...still look forward to your uploads till this day :)

[@6rasshopper]

That looks tight! I just gotta say, you scared me once so bad when I was younger, I had to throw my cards away. At the beginning of the video, you said we should try to do the trick with disposable cards which had me a little skeptical. Then, I did the trick over and over again and I was quite happy. Then, you started popping in my head saying "make sure you throw the cards away". This happened over and over again for 10 mins straight. Then, I started crying because I was kind of afraid,

[@kokkiemonster6939]

Lol what trick was it?

[@6rasshopper]

I don't know. I stopped watching his vids cause of that though.

[@DARKDRAGONOVERLORD]

I doubt you would but will you be doing a tutorial on this trick?

[@brandonbeall8530]

That's incredible! No cards seem to be inserted or taken out as you are performing the trick, which makes it all the more mind-boggling. The only possible reason I can think of is that the cards themselves have special qualities, but even then I have no idea how that would work. Great video!

[@marcofrezza]

:) the cards can be handed out at the end. BOOOMMM!!!

[@damyanguzman8262]

I need help on slight of hand. I'd LOVE if you could do a video on that it would be very helpful. Thank you and have a good day

[@marcofrezza]

Got it. Stay tuned.

[@damyanguzman8262]

I will ;)

[@swetabhsingh6667]

I have immense respect for you Marco,thank you for inspiring me in weird ways............

[@marcofrezza]

Happy to do it.

[@GamerNationFilms]

This is (I believe) just a lot of Elmsley counts. Very very very well performed Elmsley counts.The position of the cards must be incredibly well thought out in order to get them to appear how they do, and I'm impressed. When you flip the cards over, it's relatively easy to tell that you have more than 4 cards (if I counted right, you have 12-14?) The practice this must have taken is unthinkable, thank you for presenting it.

[@drummerboy222]

Nope. At most you need 9. Think about it. You never see more than 9 different fronts (4 aces, 4 queens, and a joker), and 8 different backs (3 blue [look again. You never see more than 3 blue backs at any one time], and one each of 5 other colors. Still very impressive tho! Worth that much? Ehhhh.... debatable. ;-)

[@alexisalvarez1375]

Marco, you mind blew me, that looks like 10 elmsly counts back to back, amazing preformance, loved it keep it up

[@marcofrezza]

Thanks A, you're awesome!

[@alexanderknutsen187]

Could you please give me a tutorial on any card any number?

[@brandonbeall8530]

This is also just purely entertaining to watch. Your quest was well worth the reward.

[@marcofrezza]

Thanks Brandon yeah it's been a very powerful eye candy pieces when I'm performing in loud super packed totally surrounded parties.

[@miked820]

Cool trick; like you said, you have to know your audience when going into a show/venue. Impressive.

[@marcofrezza]

Yeah that's the whole key. If u know that, it totally sets the tone.

[@marcofrezza]

The tone meaning what types of tricks you should be studying.

[@dayzr420]

Any roughing fluid used? I think I can recreate this. Did you use any RF?

[@theunknownguybg1814]

Awesome trick! I know how to do it and now im training it. You are doing it great it looks so realistic. Keep it up!

[@samchafe4631]

That's sooooooooo amazing! No idea how that works. Mind blown.

[@AustinCityy]

Could you perhaps do a tutorial?

[@WayaWolf]

sounds like a freaking adventure of awesomeness

[@jonvaill6615]

Shhhh..... Hear that?...... That's the sound of my brain exploding

[@marcofrezza]

That is so awesome.

[@demwenda]

+Marco Frezza mind blowing-how did u do this

[@leslieloyalforever4988]

That blew my mind... Wow !!

[@marcofrezza]

Tks L

[@JayMchannelBg]

That's the coolest card trick ever!

[@kokkiemonster6939]

My mind is blown. That was simply Phenomenal. Could you perhaps do a tutorial? Also this is trick is well worth the nearly $3000. Your dedication is amazing and David Blaine ain't got not on you!!!

[@marcofrezza]

Thanks KM

[@Denthevike]

I think it is an intense series of elmsly counts, but it was mind blowing

[@marcofrezza]

Yeah the crazy thing is, it doesn't use any!

[@kokkiemonster6939]

Marco Frezza will you be doing a tutorial perhaps?

[@bananabrogamer1984]

you are amazing

[@rafik951]

What's the name of it, please!!

[@harrisontriggs645]

Stunned! Show me how!

[@nischaljugjali1452]

How do u do it man its pretty cool

[@phdyoutubedegree1939]

wow that trick would blow someone's mind. Wish the video wasn't so choppy at the end...

[@hannahroppo]

@marco nice trick dedication is real but why go through so much trouble for one trick?!?? #carious #mindblowing

[@LtVadim]

The trick itself was 8/10, but if you'll keep telling this story to the audience, it'll look really great.

[@Othmarius]

that´s the trick!

[@hydrus77]

Can you do a tutorial?

[@GameRobo1]

Marco it would be cool if u could make a video on the sybil cut for small hands. im only 11 and trying to figure out how to do it but i have too small hands. ppplllzzz help!:) ps: ur amazing

[@rosalynpieczynski9309]

Hey!!! I'm new to magic, hardly now anything about it, and am eleven too!!!

[@badjokes2431]

I want to learn the muscle pass but is is really difficult.

[@DisturbedMagicians]

Speaking of aces I am working on my own original (I think it's original) four ace production can I show you and get your opinion?

[@marcofrezza]

Sure. Are u a member of my online magic school?

[@DisturbedMagicians]

No I'm not sadly.

[@marcofrezza]

Dude join it's free. Just go to the website at the end of the video.

[@DisturbedMagicians]

I just entered my email and am checking my inbox for the email from your site now and how would you prefer I show you my four ace production? Any particular way?

[@marcofrezza]

Well can u shoot a vid post it on KZbin and send me the link?

[@逆天-s6v]

Truly inspiring :D Amazing!!

[@marcofrezza]

Thanks Sky. You're awesome.

[@逆天-s6v]

Welcome :D

[@JasonDias7]

I think i figured out how it works. I had to watch it 3 times. Anyway great story. keep it up

[@blackshotnoob123]

Yeah right , mind sharing how you figured it out?

[@johnhernandez3134]

what is the name of the trick?

[@rafik951]

What is the name of it??

[@mouseyboy427]

Okay, so how do you do it?

[@gorgono1]

It is called Elmsley counting. There are a lot of youtube tutorials.

[@marcofrezza]

It's called "nope". No elmsley counts here. Good guess though.

[@samuelhodges6471]

No Elmsley Count Guys and Gals. You're like Marco, driving blind across America...except you can see! Good Job, Marco...(I'll never tell!)

[@jds2056]

same.

[@samuelhodges6471]

My main man!

[@jds2056]

+Samuel Hodges Man I miss Marco, I wish he would update us a little on what's going on. And hi man!

[@samuelhodges6471]

I don't know where he is at and doing. I guess we'll just have to wait.

[@johnhernandez3134]

I think it has something to do with multiple cards and "roughing fluid"

[@HorrorLadSteveo]

Awesome !!

[@amyamiss9667]

A magician could learn the trick simply by watching the video at the end. It's only a matter of time before someone posts a tutorial on it now. Thanks Internet lol

[@itsevan4577]

That. Is amazing

[@逆天-s6v]

True inspiring :D Amazing!!

[@مهساشمس-ص8س]

how i can learn it?

[@nunyabidness4416]

I think you used the term 'Card Trick' in the title to hide the fact you're secretly a skilled wizard with mystical powers.

[@trixter0687]

Nice

[@marcofrezza]

Tks Trix

[@AlexanderJunyor]

I'm working on a magic routine for when someone asks me for a magic trick I have a routine ready to go. I'm using a lot of my routines from Paul Harris True Astonishments.

[@marcofrezza]

Ph is no joke.

[@AlexanderJunyor]

Marco Frezza is no joke either. He is an awesome magician!

[@marcofrezza]

Thanks A J

[@deans6571]

It's not difficult to figure that he obviously has more than 4 cards in his hand!!!!!

[@jubnx2781]

Im trying to learn cardistry

[@andrewioannides9840]

I'm I want to learn that trick but I'm only 12 Marco can you help me please

[@sophieosu]

I got this for free! Seriously.. that trick is in so many cheap books and there are tutorials on YT xD

[@maurandismagik6834]

First, great great trick...I am Mauradis Magik I saw it but I didn't, but I saw it....wow, great trick my man

[@marcofrezza]

Tks Maurandis

[@maurandismagik6834]

Do I have to pay $2,743 or do I have to pay more attention? Don't have 3 grand

[@mohammedabouda9425]

Post a tutorial pllzzzzzz

[@MilwaukeeItaliano]

That's a crazy amount of money to learn a card trick. o.O

[@marcofrezza]

:)

[@philipnguyen3107]

Just a story mon

[@26matthew1]

l watched the video over and over again, and all l know is that there is a set up behind those cards which l don't have the idea, but l think l have a idea of how you let those cards travel around your hands.

[@philipnguyen3107]

Double face

[@josephbelt33]

You should do a tutorial;)

[@tommyleerios9175]

Wow that was.... Wow

[@trixter0687]

Well said

[@marcofrezza]

Tks

[@yongyingjing6308]

Cool.

[@mlbbtournamentgamingnepal4810]

awesome

[@alexjames6818]

it was clever of him to make a constant fake chatter in the background props to him

[@thomastnt6410]

First of all. I think your quest for this trick was well worth your time, no matter how far your journey takes to learn the secrets of life. Second, I think your story is inspiring and motivational. Never mind the trick. Don Magolyni, magician.

[@sren1446]

Great done. I ts a great trick

[@ThePianoman63]

Watch it frame by frame. At 7:08 you can see how thick the pack is.

[@cubing4mc295]

Wow I see why he went through all that trouble to learn the trick

[@Ridriel]

my god that was amazing

[@marcofrezza]

:)

[@EnriqueBF96]

Dude, a lot of people do that trick in Spain. Specially Juan Tamariz who never stopped doing it, no need to spend almost 3 grand

[@marcofrezza]

Yeah but here's what you're missing. I was trying to learn this 20 years ago when there was hardly any information on the internet and no KZbin. Magicians back then had very few ways to connect with one another online and around the World to help one another. Today it's a totally different game.

[@kellandubuque1281]

When you can elmsley count like a pro

[@UNITED_STATES_OF_AMERICA]

So don't you wanna show us how you did it or we have to pay $2,743 for it? :-)

[@francoisdelacroix281]

Good point.

[@eliamudhaesh4513]

Secret Self

[@CAPSISFUN97]

Not gonna lie that was insane

[@marcofrezza]

:)

[@ChiragTL]

you should really teach this trick

[@acengpolo6437]

what the hell! superb!

[@MeMesofSavagery]

dude im glad i was sitting down because im sure i still some how still fell down while sitting down right after i did a back flip! because that was the most visually orgasmic pleasure my eye has seen in a card trick! bad a$$ man! ill pay ya $27.43 to show me that.. lol jk your awesome bro!

[@clawster1655]

this guy creeps the shit out of me idk why. I think it may be the way he looks at the camera...

[@estaifan]

So where is the tutorial ???

[@darthclone7]

wow you practiced it for 2 years before showing it?? just explains the insane dexterity required to master this trick.

[@60pingking0ffortnite3]

BAD ASS !!

[@potatoisgod6695]

He pauses the video

[@johnharwood194]

Hammond Count!

[@ZandrielGrimm]

.................. HOW!?!

[@marcofrezza]

M A G I C

[@ZandrielGrimm]

Marco Frezza Of course, there's no other explanation

[@999KnightDeath]

+Chase Gardner I believe he is just doing a bunch of double lifts but obviously hes doing something else as well.

[@rchklirc1]

+Chase Gardner You can kinda see how thick the pile of cards is and I agree with Derrick, probably a huge number of double lifts. The part where he pulls up face cards from the bottom would be him taking one from under the "pile" on top of it. And also you know... magic.

[@expressyon5450]

I think i know what he is doing but a very good trick that story tho xD

[@KrishnaDS]

What did i just see?

[@marcofrezza]

M A G I C

[@KrishnaDS]

sir thanks for the reply please may I win something from you?! Because asking for the reveal of this trick for free would be too much please sir?

[@marcofrezza]

I preparing my biggest contest yet for the internet. It's going to be huge. STAY TUNED...

[@KrishnaDS]

[@KrishnaDS]

[@marcofrezza]

:)

[@jojam2000]

Lol so easy what a simple trick

[@firo.gaming5414]

Its called that you are pausing the video dude

[@ThaGlizzard]

This guy spent 3k to learn how to do the Hammond count? Lmao. Can you pay me 2k and I'll show you how to halo cut?

[@nimitagrawal1457]

You blew my mind....man... You used gimmicks... Right

[@marcofrezza]

Sorry the cards are not gimmicked.

[@nimitagrawal1457]

+marco frezza really'

[@johim154forgo8]

i did not get a sent in spam or junk mail

[@Alejandroandalcio]

I have big experience in magic and i watched the video 3 times and i can say without doubt this takes a long setup and the cards are gimmick

[@jowtag]

Wtf this is literally impossible

[@marcofrezza]

:)

[@TheLoobis]

You did not pay $2,000 to learn a card trick.

[@Profynoob]

haha, 3000 , sure

[@RylandsRaids]

What the fuck.

[@marcofrezza]

You took the words right out of the mind of the lady I just performed this to.
