The ULTIMATE Easy Card Trick For Beginners | Revealed

[@norcalnerfclub3423]

This is actually very fun to do with a brand new deck. You have them unwrap it, remove the ad cards and jokers. You never touch the deck. Great opener for a routine!

Thank you so much 😀

[@braisedleeks]

when you cut facing up, what happens if none of the sequenced diamonds appear?

[@MattMcGurk]

Great question. I’ve never had that happen. Chances are 1 in 13 so very likely that they will cut to one ☝️

[@charleswhisler493]

love it man!

[@PeteZeria]

Good stuff. I experimented with picking from the stack and realized that if they do, you just need to subtract one from whatever card turns up during the face up cuts. So if you see the JD for example, their card is at 10 as opposed to 11. You have to do the spread so it’s obvious where the bottom 13 cards are. That’s not too hard to do. I like the idea with the marked deck. Anything with a marked deck where you just name the card is too obvious; there’s always some PITA in the crowd that will shout out that the deck is marked. Penguin has a great video about all of their marked decks. I’m assuming the one you’re using is a reader deck where you can see it from like 10 miles away but the audience can’t tell.

[@MattMcGurk]

Yes 🙌. Their readers are awesome 🤩

[@pochetjean-marc1180]

I like the idea if someone is picking from the stack

[@amistookymuppet]

Couple of questions--Do you ask to see the spectator's chosen card? Also should you ask to see them cut the deck when they do it face up for the diamond-spotting part? Great video, just trying to understand it better!

[@MattMcGurk]

Hey! Nope you don’t need to ask the spectators chosen card, it’s definitely stronger if you don’t know the card. You start by having them cut the cards facedown, then ask them to turn the deck face up so they can see that everytime they cut, it’s changing and shuffling the cards. You got this!

[@amistookymuppet]

@@MattMcGurk Cool thank you so much!

[@MannyEmm]

Amazing easy trick

[@MattMcGurk]

Thanks 🙏

[@MannyEmm]

@@MattMcGurk ….you are so very welcome. I love your card tricks and especially the easy way you present them. I have learned some of your tricks and have performed them for my family. I absolutely love the look on their faces when I reveal their card(s). You are amazing, Mr. McGurk!

[@Masterbricks087]

@@MattMcGurk omds u acc replied😁😁 hey greetings from perth im a 14 year old boy tryna learn magic uve helped me soo much thank u so much

[@MattMcGurk]

My pleasure! Glad to help!

[@guidobartoli1661]

Great and effective trick, thanks for the explanation! :) Just a little suggestion, after the initial ribbon spread, you can move your finger starting from the stacked side and after the 13th you can say "Tell me where to stop" while still moving, so you can avoid the spectator selecting a card from the stack.

[@MattMcGurk]

Great idea! 💡

[@minlalvaiphei]

The Pro version is cool but how do we mark it and know the sequence of the mark cards 🤗

[@MattMcGurk]

You can get the marked cards from penguin, the set up is exactly the same as the other version, it’s just that you will be able to read the sequence from the back of the cards instead of the face

[@wolflegend-my3xg]

Man i love learning these tricks they are cool asf

[@MattMcGurk]

Glad you’re enjoying the journey buddy!

[@andyrichardson162]

In case a diamond doesn't appear after a few cuts, could you expand it to 26 cards, say diamonds and spades?

[@MattMcGurk]

You could, it just means that now you have a 26 card set up and controlling those cards is a little more involved. Good audience management is the 🔑

[@bnzchacon5455]

Do you need the joker in the deck?

[@MattMcGurk]

There’s no need to remove the jokers, though I usually never have them in the deck as a rule.

[@gujaratigk5849]

Please give me Deck help please 😮

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

It would solid if you can give credit " Lazy Man's Card Trick by Harry Lorayne"

[@MattMcGurk]

I gave credit in the Outro buddy. 10:24

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

One magician did a trick for me today, and I picked 2.98, and he said come on so I picked two, and he told me to add seven to it and turned a jumbo playing card over and showed a nine. I suspect he forced the nine on me, but I can't prove that because I didn't think of it at the time I was in the store, but 2.98 would've worked.

[@breaulenny]

❤

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

Why would you need a setup if you shuffled the cards before doing the trick? Wouldn't that mess up the setup of 13 cards?

[@MattMcGurk]

Hey Jason, I do explain in the video how to shuffle without disturbing the set up.

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

2.98 is my number.

[@zapdunga12]

If you are using marked cards, why even bother with the set up? When they choose their card, you already know what it is. Have them lose the card in the deck and read their mind. Or you can pick up the deck and look for their card and count in your head where it is from the top. This way they can examine the deck after the trick and you can do it again.Just another variation. ☺

[@MattMcGurk]

Yes, that’s a great trick within itself & a complete different effect within its own right. I just saw the opportunity to use cards with this effect and really like how fair it makes the trick. Thanks for the idea!

[@MattMcGurk]

Also I like the fact that with this version, you never have to touch the deck. To me, that really enhances the impossibility of this.

[@francisvandenheede7710]

If you never want touch the deck- that’s the premisse-, you can use the combination of marked cards and a memorized deck. By turning over the deck, the spectator will never discover any deckorder (unless she knows a specific memorized deck). AND you can literally count between 1 and 52 cards.

[@MattMcGurk]

Love this idea! That’s awesome, definitely going to play around with this.

[@abhisheky7981]

@@francisvandenheede7710 I do this trick exactly like this. Memorized stack with marked cards. In the process of reading their mind, I reveal the card first. And then tell them exactly where their card is. But this looks too good to be true if you mess up the presentation and tell them their card right away. They will start looking if they are marked.

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

I thought the spectator picked the number instead of the magician.

[@MattMcGurk]

It may be useful to watch the video again to better understand the effect

[@tobeyves]

When the spectator does everything it just screams SELFWORKING/SET UP DECK SO NO SKILL REQUIRED lol & trace the cards with your finger when they must select a card. They will never pick a set up card.

[@MattMcGurk]

It screams that to a magician yes, agreed 👍

[@tobeyves]

@@MattMcGurk Well, to everyone with a brain. Since, you know, the deck isn't getting touched by you.
