The "KEY CARD" Principle (and the Theory of Information)

[@simons2006]

That entering the room, crossing the arms and saying: Hey KZbin! is becoming nostalgic:D

[@Chronyql]

Wait, good nostalgic or bad nostalgic?

Glad to see you on here my friend, sending a big hug your way.

[@Chronyql]

Thank you my good man. For both the support and the warm welcome

[@sagarlamba7416]

Dude.... This is an amazing video. I remember you said that your day job isn't in magic, but what actually is your background? I ask because I am a math and computer science guy, and I feel like quite a few of your videos are made just for me! Also, one thing I might want to see is how you go about actually scripting these videos. They way you, for lack of a better term, teach/lecture is so fluid. The way you introduce and then explain a topic is really really good.

[@souradipchakraborty1473]

Yesss which is why i love him so much

[@Chronyql]

First off, I’m really glad it doesn’t come off as “campy” to you. I’m always worried that I’m either not doing justice to the ideas (especially for the people like you who work with that knowledge daily) or that I’m trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Second, thank you very much for the comment about my style. I really do appreciate it

[@clementmagritte2214]

I feel like I have entered to a private membership, such quality content ! Thank you for sharing your passion!

[@closerlookbooks]

Your channel is, no doubt, the most fascinating KZbin channel on the subject of Magic…because it is not just about magic.

[@DavidFan793]

In awe of your amazing teaching!

[@Chronyql]

Thank you very much

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

I am a linguist, and did some syntax work for a couple years, and your mentioning the compression concept really took me back to those days. We cross compare language data to try and find what the most necessary universals are that generate our utterances. And now here I am many years later, a school teacher that picked up magic to keep things interesting in the classroom, and you have brought those things together. It's funny how a concept can be so elucidating that it follows you wherever life takes you.

[@Chronyql]

Okay that’s awesome! How goes the transition into Magic?

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

@@Chronyql It's great! I was into trading card games as a teenager, and learned a few flourishy things doing that. A student saw me doing them while I was fidgeting and asked me if I could do a magic trick. I had to say no, but thought, "why /can't/ I do a magic trick?" I find gambling themed table stuff the coolest, but I have yet to think of ways to perform stuff like that for young students without the gambling themes due to obvious ethics issues. Appreciate the reply, and love your channel!

Absolutely fascinating. I watch and re watch these videos whenever I can. Incredibly informative. Hope you’re doing well Jeremy, I appreciate the effort in the videos, genuinely the most lovable guy in this business. Much love, -Steezy

[@magicsteele]

You are a kindred spirit, Jeremy. Studied math/physics UC Riverside decades ago and paid my way performing card magic at the local university coffee shop. Retired now, but still love the card magic. Thanks for reminding me of Hugard's book. I haven't looked at it in years. Am dusting it off and giving it a re-read. Oh, and Sudoku is on all my devices to play with when I want to just kick back and relax or waiting for something. Your channel is always fun view. Looking forward to many more here on KZbin (sorry I'm not on social media).

[@davidj432]

Wow, the quality your videos! Simply: wow!

[@lanastus123]

You are a blessing to the magic/GSOH community, keep up the awesome work Jeremy, how you don't have millions of subs is beyond me. Thank you for making such incredibly informative videos, I always learn so much.

This comment means the world to me. Thank you very much.

[@souradipchakraborty1473]

Loved to see Sudoku is know in the West... i thought i was a game in tge East only...we have sudoku puzzles printed on the newspaper everyday and i love solving them Loved the corelation with the theory of information

[@NickTanXS]

One of the most overlooked principles in my opinion. Great video!

[@vinny3266]

That was a great trick. I must reapply myself to the key card system again. Thanks Subscribed

[@Anonymous-ni6qy]

Love the approach! Errata: In sudoku numbers not repeating in a diagonal is not a rule.

[@Chronyql]

It’s a little awkward that after you wrote this comment, I looked it up and realized I’ve been playing sudoku incorrectly for the better part of a decade. Whoops 😬

[@chomskybeat]

@@Chronyql But.... then it must have been impossible in most of the cases to finish the sudoku :-o

[@olliemealing]

Likely the most underappreciated principle in card magic. Great vid J.

I think you’d probably still be spot on even with all the books.

[@Skeletor611]

[@brain76]

Thank you so much for this! The thought processes that you present are absolutely invaluable, and I'm super stoked to be here for every single one!

[@Skeletor611]

Thank you for crediting Sam Sharpe. The effect can also be found in one of his books. I don’t remember the title, but it’s in the compilation from the Miracle Factory

[@Chronyql]

Excellent! Thank you for the reference

[@juanramosarozarena7990]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Although it’s a very simple principle you explain it excellently

[@mkorleon]

Very well thought out video.

[@J.EzraEntertainment]

This is very quickly becoming my favorite channel...I mean, the topics, the depth, the tie-ins and tangents are all just right. And I don't say this last part lightly, but I don't think I've enjoyed just listening to another magician/ philosopher talk since Eugene Burger left us. Kudos to you brother, thank you for your time.

[@dionisispan1983]

Thank you Jeremy for the great video(s) !!! I am from a small country called Greece ( i 'd be surprised if you 've even heard of it ) . Not a magician , just a father of a 19 month daughter who wants to impress his little girl in the future! I just want you to know you are helping me digg deeper ! your videos are inspirational ! If sometime in the future you want to do a video for beginners and enthusiasts i recommend something for the only thing i struggle finding in a book or video. Hands ! I will give you an example . If i wash my hands ,dry them and grab a deck of cards i feel i can handle them a lot better . If my hands are dry ( they do quickly) it's like a good deck becomes a very used deck . I can understand it has to do with moisture .what i don't understand is how can i protect my hands from being dry ! Just a thought from a non professional fun !!! Thanks again for the great videos and the inspiration .

[@hsyndicate7585]

Great video, I am come to see what books you recommend more then anything else.

[@joanacouto648]

I would love to see your point of view on this: what is the difference between magic and technique? It would be really interesting to understand the relationship that you have with the object (deck of cards) and what do you consider real magic. :)

[@Chronyql]

That’s an excellent idea. Consider it in the queue

[@kalvinhepple5975]

What do you think are the best card magic trick books (Beginner/intermediate/Advanced)? Are you more into doing and perfecting sleights than doing tricks using those sleights or are both just as important?

[@Chronyql]

I’ve come to learn that both are important to me. But I also believe you could go either way. I spent years just chasing sleight, and avoiding routines. And I know plenty of people who did the opposite, and we were both totally happy. As far as the best magic books, I loved anything written by Roberto Giobbi, Tommy Wonder, Ben Earl and Darwin Ortiz
