There aren't any camera tricks, you are just watching someone who is a true virtuoso in his art. He has been practicing and studying card magic since he was 4, and he studied with some of the best magicians who ever lived. This isn't one trick, or a single prearranged deck, its a series of perfectly executed sleights, brought seamlessly together into this beautiful performance, which is what a great artist does. Any great jazz musician has studied for decades, practiced, practiced, studied with better musicians, etc. and only after all those years are they able to construct something truly breathtaking as a result of that deep knowledge and experience. Ricky Jay is one of the world's great artists. Enjoy the sense of wonder and amazement for what it is: a great thing.

This is a few years old at this point, so I don't want to ping directly, but RE: camera trick. I doubt that's what happened. If you look at the rest of the scene, everything else is still in exactly the same place, with exactly the same shadows. He also reaches directly out to use this stack right afterwords, so splicing the image wouldn't really work there either. Even the cards on the lower portion of the deck remain stationary when this "cut" was made. To swap a deck and leave that many elements in the scene at exactly the same position would be miraculous. Especially given the human body's tendency to subconsciously drift, there's no way his hands would be in the same position between two scenes like that. Also, if you look closely, you can see the cards don't just change position, they snap up, rock off to the right, and re-balance to the left. If it were simply a camera trick, that cards would have snapped to another stationary position, this kind of momentum and balance wouldn't happen. If I were to take a guess, there's a card in there that is accustomed to being bowed, and was working its way back to this state, when it popped, raising the cards above it and creating that rocking motion I just described.

I was actually not expecting him to go through the spades at all. I expected he had gotten all the shuffles down so perfect that he was going to do a original deck order reveal. I was watching this like a magician. Then I saw him start doing the spades bit. And it got harder. And harder. And harder to imagine him being able to do the original deck order reveal. And by the end of it I can't understand how a person could be that perfectly tuned at anything. That was like watching someone do a 10m standing vertical leap. If he didn't do a deck swap (which I'm certain he didn't) then he is just that perfect at card manipulation.

I think, the point ninjoshot was trying to make is, that these days a lot of people cry "cgi" or "camera trick" when in reality it is slight of hands (or some gimmick) and lots of training. Lots of training means years of preperation and practicing. Of course most people know that there is nothing like "real magic", it is always tricks. But these tricks need lots of skills to master. This is not a video game, where you just have to type in the correct cheat code and the dragon in front of you vanishes. And that is the sad thing: those people do not appreciate the work that has been spent before the presentation. It seems like people (some of them) are no longer used to the concept of learning something and mastering something even if it takes years of practicing to do so. Ricky Jay is one of the grandmasters of card tricks. One does not earn such a reputation by pulling of camera tricks. Accusing him of doing so is insulting to him.

For those of you who think its a camera trick and did some kind of deck switch, you should know Ricky Jay is a master at his craft. There are ways the you can retain the order of cards while making it look like you're shuffling them. He could have used a perfect riffle shuffle which would have kept them in a perfect order among many other techniques. Ricky Jay is a master at that shuffle and could have used it through out his whole performance as well as he is a master of his craft. I wouldn't doubt that he could do this exact routine in front of us in real life as its presented here. It's more than what I can say about those so called "magicians" like Criss Angel who need a video editing software and a few paid actors handy to make real "magic" happen.

I know that others probably only watch this once or a few times in their lives and are amazed. But I've studied Ricky Jay vigorously, and while I absolutely respect and love the man, as a magician myself, I can't help but notice that at 0:30 he begins fanning the deck with his right hand, and by 0:32 there is an obvious cut to a wide shot angle, but he forgot to keep fanning with his right hand, after they switched the decks, he fanned out the cards on the table with his left hand. This is where the cut of the video is, not at the end like most believe. From 0:32 forward, everything Ricky Jay does is authentic manipulation. But, man, do I wish he would have used the right hand after the cut to wide shot angle. This whole routine would have been even more mysterious and impossible. It took watching this video maybe 20 times for me to notice this. Ricky Jay still is, and always will be one of the greatest card mechanics to ever exist. His mastery over a deck of cards and knowledge of magic history, the way he blends the two in performance are unmatched, and will continue to be so because if you think about the era where he was at his peak, Ricky Jay really was one of the greatest card manipulators on the planet. He inspired a whole genre of new magicians specifically focusing on card manipulation, people like Richard Turner exist because of people like Ricky Jay. The only reason superb mechanics exist today is because Ricky Jay became massively successful with his routines, proving the path as viable. Kudos to the master. Wish they got the cut right though. It angers me haha. Bad part on the director.

There is a video cut at the 0:31 mark, so anything could have happened there.
@MattTrevett10 жыл бұрын
If you look carefully he fans the cards with his right hand before the video cut and is using his left hand after the cut. Love this video though.

Good spot
@bigAlexPhillips9 жыл бұрын
Matthew Trevett Looks like he still could have let go with his right and picked up the deck with his left hand during the cut. (and even just starting the video at 0:32 is a pretty impressive trick)

It's only a minor gripe - the video is excellent. Thanks for the reply.

I watched homemade video on KZbin that imitates this trick all in one shot from shuffle to finish and states that our is Ricky Jay ' s own trick. This trick is legit and the would be no reason to question, considering all his other love and one shot tricks.

It is not a deck swap. He's using thumb/pinkie lifts, false cuts, and false shuffles. Read up.

Samuel Medina because while that is true from 00:30 and on, before that point is legit shuffles. If you really "read up" you'll see that false riffle shuffles are only possible either with strip-outs or perfect farrows in which he did neither.

artistjohnwoolley false. with any shuffle, you can angle the shuffle. by not squaring the cards up properly, you can easily separate the two halves.
@SVDurLIFE10 жыл бұрын
artistjohnwoolley not any shuffle. my mistake. but shuffles in which they lay into one another. idk what it is called, but the shuffle where you essentially chop the cards back and forth in your hand, it would be impossible there

Absolutely amazing ..the guy was the best manipulator ever.. .. If you have ever seen his one hour show ( here on YT) you will see he is a master showman of the first order.. His dialog, and incredible sleight of hand will astonish you .. ( RJ and his 52 assistance) RIP ..RJ

The shuffle until 0:30 is real , and after that it's a video cut almost 100% sure , i've been in magic and slide of hand for years and I haven't seen or done such things, but still video is amazing

I like people like you, because it is hilarious how many people get fooled my magic. At least look up some sleight of hand techniques before you comment. Look up a 'zarrow shuffle' on KZbin. It is a fake riffle shuffle, that most magicians know about and use. This. Comment is not intended to be negative. This is how I decided to become a magician myself (though not a magician as good as Ricky Jay).

It's possible he cut the video while he fanned out the cards. If you watch closely at 0:30, you'll see he switches from his right hand to his left hand. This creates the illusion of a very well shuffled deck, but he is instead using a pre-organized deck and that all later shuffles are trick shuffles that don't actually mix the card order.

2 years on I didn't fully understand what your original comment meant @1:27, until it finally clicked with me, you were referring to 2:27 but accidentally pressed 1 instead of 2 for the timestamp, without realising the typo lol. In all fairness it's a simple mistake to make and happens to all of us at one point or another. Besides it was only a single digit and you can be forgiven, due to the fact both digits are right next to each other. Also now that I do understand the original comment, I have to admit, you're right, it is really funny, his facial expression makes it. He genuinely does look like he couldn't give a single fuck to what he is doing @2:27 lol.

Far out. I randomly thought at the start "imagine if he was keeping track of where the cards are", then thought that'd be ridiculous. Then that's exactly what he proceeded to do! Amazing.
