I'll keep repeating how enthusiastic and brilliantly you present your tricks. You are just a pleasure to watch everytime I get a notification about something new. Common people spread the news, I think 28k subscribers should be doubled. All your grandparents out there my generation, theres are tricks you can impress the grandkids with, I know I have. My grandchildren first thing they ask is Grandpa you have any new tricks for us, its infectious and the kids want to learn to impress their friends.

Talk about a coincidence but today I literally just stumbled upon this effect in one of my pdf books called 52 Amazing card tricks written by Rufus Steele and your video just happens to be the first one I play on KZbin when I opened it up.. Crazy or what!!!!! Love this trick ❤

[@adamsaunders7992]

Awesome to see magic is not dead!! I’ve been preforming for 20+ years and always amazed to see new people in the biz

[@joecostello2833]

Thanks

[@MattMcGurk]

Joe thanks again for the coffee, It's always appreciated 😀

[@emiliosaldana5670]

AWESOME, MAGIC FOREVER, GREETINGS FROM MEXICO

[@MattMcGurk]

Hola amigo!

[@LeoCollins-p4x]

Thanks man. I always look forward to your videos

[@LibaBarnett-w6i]

Love the enthusiasm in tricks

[@Jakethesnake.222]

Thank you I have been using your tricks for a while on my family so thank you for teaching us a lot of tricks👍

[@stevew4079]

Another option for those scared of the possibility of them picking the top or bottom of the stack: Instead of spreading, ask them to cut the little stack and pull a card out for themselves. Now they're practically guaranteed to pick something from the middle

[@philipnguyen3107]

Happy new year Matt! This trick is definitely a killer .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SolveThisS]

Not really. Shin Lim's tricks are!

[@MattMcGurk]

They are! But also they are far from beginner tricks. 😂

[@BradyenD-uk5sh]

so cool!

[@TheAx504]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@donpudliner1141]

This is most certainly a saver.

[@64Kingschess]

All your videos are so good, thanks so much!

[@MattMcGurk]

You're very welcome!

[@The_Card_Magician]

Absolutely an amazing trick Matt .

[@MattMcGurk]

Thanks bro 👊

[@eduardoquintana6507]

Great video and great tutorial. Congratulations. Happy New Year. Greetings from Brazil.

[@MattMcGurk]

Happy new year Eduardo!

[@LibaBarnett-w6i]

Did to my family and blew their minds going to get into magic

[@MattMcGurk]

Great news! Welcome to the family

[@carpetbombed]

Does anyone know how to deal with situations where when asking people to cut they would take say 9 cards from the first cut? This would ruin this particular trick and can easily happen seeing as you need to keep almost a quarter of the deck on top at all times and the pack has to be cut into threes.

[@Tanveer---PPP]

Your tricks are great

[@MattMcGurk]

Thanks man!

[@ecastag]

Amazing Bro!

[@MattMcGurk]

Thanks 🔥

[@scottreacher4620]

Happy Holidays!

[@MattMcGurk]

Happy holidays!

[@franciskisner920]

The "trick" is that all the manipulation of the first two piles was just setting up the third pile. When the third pile is counted out, it just comes down to the set-up cards. Very neat. Thanks for the video.

[@MattMcGurk]

You got it!

[@szunvukung]

Many thanks for all your great videos, and work. Wish you marry christmas, and happy new year.

[@RaisedAce]

baffling trick. I remember it from a Big Blind Media DVD from many years ago. Gonna try it out again this afternoon

[@electriceye1734]

In the first trick what is the value of the chosen card if it's a face card or ace

[@MattMcGurk]

It should never be an ace, as that isn’t one of the force cards. It will either be a 5, 9 or King (hence the name of the trick) king is 13. Hope this helps. 👍

[@LibaBarnett-w6i]

Amazing

[@LibaBarnett-w6i]

Omg I’ll be so fun

[@Astro_Gardener]

What happens if one of the piles has less than 13 cards in if a King is picked?

[@MattMcGurk]

Then you did not direct the spectator correctly! 😂

[@Aaron_Scissorhands]

It works if they choose a 9 or a King, but does it work if they draw a 5?

[@MattMcGurk]

Yes 🙌

[@RobertBallMagician]

This is such a cool trick. You could probably use any 3 sets of cards. I would probably use Jacks or tens just in case they cut the pile a little short on the first dealing, but that is just me. But awesome tutorial Matt.

[@devanandazobda7528]

Then, you will have to alter the setup. Try it to see what I mean. This is a math trick you know!

[@WatchandLearnMagic]

What if they choose a king and one of the piles does not have enough cards to count off 13 cards and have one for the other two piles?

[@MattMcGurk]

Just guide the spectator to cut the piles roughly into 1/3rds. Through practice you can tell if enough cards have been cut. As long as it’s over 15 you’re good.

[@WatchandLearnMagic]

It was funny that the first time I tried it, the first pile had 14 cards. I mostly do sleight of hand, but this is strong enough​ to have set up for an opener. @@MattMcGurk

[@frankvelasco8773]

​@@MattMcGurkYou could also spell KING

[@MattMcGurk]

@@frankvelasco8773​​⁠unfortunately that won’t work. You need to deal 13 cards to get into the king stack.

[@estaifan]

Please you can say merry Christmas and happy near , thank in advance

[@MattMcGurk]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Bro!

[@Cacuofa]

Worst and most difficult persons to perform a trick to never choose middle cards and always go to the last or first ones.

[@davidecosti3790]

You always have am Exellent chiuse of effects.

[@Cacuofa]

@@davidecosti3790never was bad intentioned, otherwise I wouldn’t watch the videos. Sorry if it seemed like that.

[@MattMcGurk]

There is an art in choosing the right people. Do it with a care free attitude and you'll never have a problem.

[@schlista]

My first test the 3rd cut was too short and some of the cards were in the middle so the trick failed.

[@MattMcGurk]

That's perfect. Now you know and can better guide the spectator 👍

[@teamwinterfox]

I couldn't get it to work

[@musaxsepplord7016]

King being 13 seems to phase noone here besides me? Is that a standard in a common game?

[@MattMcGurk]

I’m sure it is in some games. The point is that in this game, it’s 13 😂

[@musaxsepplord7016]

@MattMcGurk hehe, yeah that's clear. I wasn't trying to argue. Was just wondering what the origin is

[@kjohnsonsocal]

​@@musaxsepplord7016 Just count bro. In the order of the cards.. 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack(11), Queen (12), King (13). Etc

[@musaxsepplord7016]

@kjohnsonsocal my palm my face Thanks

[@AndreyZZ-q2e]

Doesnt work for me😢

[@VC27]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@dgoldberg2008]

Similar to Poker Players Picnic

[@MattMcGurk]

Yes exactly, well spotted! But I do prefer this as it takes it up a few notches! 🔥

[@bugoobiga]

Martin Gardner was a math, magic, and puzzle God.

[@MattMcGurk]

He was indeed! Genius!

[@bengoody595]

Aren't you pretty much screwed if they ask to see the trick again? Lol

[@MattMcGurk]

Nope, because there are enough tricks on this channel that you can do another instead. I got you 👊

[@AndreyZZ-q2e]

U said self working

[@carpetbombed]

As good as this looks, for me there are far too many ways the audience can ruin this one and it's out of your control

[@MattMcGurk]

i've never ran in to any problems when performing this. In what way do you feel it can be ruined?

[@carpetbombed]

​@@MattMcGurk ​@MattMcGurk hey dude. Sorry it's just my insecurities with getting caught, the trick is itself is great and well taught as always. For example, I would be nervous that the K (or other high value) would be selected and there won't be enough cards in any of the piles to cover the value of the card. When a card is asked to be selected from the fanned out 3rd pile I personally will always have that smart arse who will want to select a card that isn't being directed at them and as the setup cards take up most of that fan, I think the 99.9% comment is a bit of stretch. But you did say if it doesn't work then try another trick so I will take the hint and bugger off! Not from your channel, just from here 😂👍

[@MrFoolingyu]

Why is every trick suddenly the best trick ever seen? I'm losing count. Boring!
