Three of Clubs by Juan Tamariz

After years of waiting, Juan Tamariz, one of the greatest minds in magic, is finally prepared to share more treasures from his inner secrets. Although best known for his stack, Mnemonica, Three of Clubs offers new insight into a principle that first appeared on the world’s stage more than one-hundred years ago. What begins as a benign card trick climaxes with a change that will fool the seasoned veteran.
Today, we are pleased to offer a rare session with El Maestro. If you wish to change your magic for the better, then look no further - Three of Clubs is the addition you need.

What the heck did I just see?!! Watched the transformation over and over. That’s just real magic.

[@PDeRop]

It must be some gimmick. But to me, the last reveal was not the real magic.

[@RodrigoSilvaDiaz]

There is a red light in the moment of "transformation", mmmh?

[@richardralph]

@@PDeRop Its a gimmick. If you watch closely you can spot it, but it's a great effect.

[@sebastianavalos1917]

even his wife is shocked... simply the best. Legend

[@user-gv8ln2sl4o]

Greaaaaaat!

[@stuartdrogbadunkno]

This is true magic

[@mrdirexion]

Damnit that was a good idea. Transformate!

[@russelllee4627]

I bought his book, cause he’s one of the only magicians that I can’t figure out ANY OF HIS TRICKS. Others like David Blane at least one I could figure out but him wtffff

[@sammauldin57]

What's the name of the book

[@KinnereyB]

Mnemonica is one well worth the money, and so is 5 points, The Magic Way, Sonata, Verbal Magic, and The Magic Rainbow. It’s literally next level stuff. The forever legend

[@chriscurrie3769]

Wow. 20 times I just watched it

[@jsmagic3427]

good ! :b

[@dantrixter]

The guys a ledge ! I’m sure I got one from Blackpool MC one year I’ll have to dig it out !

[@memorizer4941]

Hey DN Trix!

[@KinnereyB]

Is that a gimmick???? I’ve never seen a color change like that. Juan doesn’t use gimmicks that I know of. But then again I don’t own all of his books…yet. This dude and Dani Daortiz are literally next level.

[@SukunaGames247]

literally what i said as the card transitioned and i scroll down to read this lololol

[@nsnegi11]

Oh..first comment from the street king himself !! Do you have the same reaction to this trick or manage to figure this out 🤔

[@JSMagicNY]

@@nsnegi11 im still baffled lol

[@sand-e7964]

yehh!! Btw Love your street magic man. Cheers.

[@e-leven7407]

​@E ZA the top card which is the 3 is a cut out, the card directly underneath it is a clubs card, if you look at the top left of the top card which is the 3, you can see that it is a spade and not a club, this is how the transition happens, the cutout is very precise but you can still see the outline, its a very nice illusion you probably would never catch if you where there, great magician nonetheless.

[@divangibran8007]

Fuckk the clean up was amazing ❤❤

[@errorunknown_ident_0xdeadb45]

I suspect the 3 of spades has holes instead of 3 black spade symbols. They are big enough holes to show the clubs symbols through them. When card is on deck beneath is 3 of clubs. When he puts the card on the black matt you see black spades and don't notice its holes

[@GrazerMagic]

You're right, I think. Just before he makes the 'switch' you can just baaaarely make out an outline of a spade in the card even though it's showing Clubs. What a nice trick that is.

[@adamyounis2983]

Agreed. And you can see him send the one with the holes back into the deck and pull out the real 3 of spades right after, to share around the table lol

[@tjacob00]

the funny part is that he didn't change the pips on the card so the middle shows 3 of clubs but not the corners

[@beginnermagic7180]

Thats not at all the trick.. its a gaff card. Slow it down to 1/4 speed and you will see it change. Its a gaff card that requires the tapping, thats why he is tapping it three times. Then you will see the card slowly start changing before he even sets it down.

[@isaachaze1]

it's a simple alternate universe fade in/fade out trick. in the alternate universe, the 3 of clubs IS the 3 of spades. he has the counterpart in the alternate universe jump in the spot of its counterpart by mixing matter and anti-matter while distracting the audience. it's pretty easy actually when you play around with it for awhile

[@pratikmhaske5792]

How is that even possible I m watching it for the 5 th time at 0.25 x howww ??????

[@IlanPerez]

any ideas where one can learn his magic?

[@Sourla]

mnemonica miracles by juan tamariz

[@shahzcoc3498]

RevGames nope it's not in mnemonica

[@shahzcoc3498]

Raúl I know how it's done but I wanna know if it is published if so in which book

[@harm4751]

Haha i watched it 5 times and I see what’s happening.. so clever!!!!👌

[@_mooney1699]

Do you really though? Because I can't figure it out even slowed down.

[@_mooney1699]

After further review, my best guess is that the card is gimmicked. I have an idea of how, but I also can't be entirely certain. However, he really leaves nothing to be seen.

[@Felixnotpewdiepie]

I came here to comment. Wtf

[@RodrigoSilvaDiaz]

I noticed a red light in moment of "transformation "

[@kurttaretto423]

I think the video is edited for higher contrast so we don't see the cut out card (see previous comment) and this added some color transformation, but no red lights

[@sakethreddy2330]

How wtf?

[@guillaumeprebois]

Very difficult to make the gimmick card and no one notices the "holes", you need to be quite far away

[@indianasamaritan665]

Wait what the fuck???🤯

[@darmochnnel308]

im done, it make no sense how the hell that card change in the blink of an eye, i watched it in HD slow mo and i just cant figured it out

[@DocFunkenstein]

I guess you missed the red light he flashed that triggered the gimmicked card, then.

[@leoshestown1140]

Wtf

[@chriscurrie3769]

There's a light that shows up when hes tapping the card

[@RodrigoSilvaDiaz]

Yeah, that means something, maybe

[@andyjones6502]

@@RodrigoSilvaDiaz must be one of those magic electronic playing cards.

[@broadsound9848]

Somethin fishy at slow mo that card fkn changed 😢

[@KinnereyB]

At 0.25 speed you will see the 3♣️ turn into the 3♠️ even slower. If that’s not a gaff card (and knowing Juan it’s most definitely not), I’m fooled by the maestro as usual

[@chriswojtowich2126]

It's definitely a gaffed card! You can see the pips are a 3 of Spades before it changes and can see the cut outs

[@darrylgwalter3263]

It is a card with 3 of spades cut into it. It is above a 3 of clubs and the 3 of clubs comes through the cut out. When it is taken out, it is slid onto a dark mat which makes it seem like a 3 of spades but it is actually a white card with a 3 of spades template cut out.

[@rodjohnson69]

@Tim Evanchick yeah, it's a trick card that he 'converts' to spades by tapping the hell out of it. Still a great trick. He then shoves that one into the deck and ultimately pulls out the 'real' 3 of spades for everyone to look at.

[@ForeverOrz]

wtf..........

[@kavinbharathi]

Slow it down to the farthest possible and you can't make out a single shit

[@modgrip805]

Light reactive ink.

[@matthewluisantero5051]

WTH

[@ziggy9403]

That shit is impossible.

[@rickylife]

The fck was that?

[@ltcolumbo9708]

NOOOOOOOOOO....

[@amrlazn]

what the fuck

[@benjaminfranklin4149]

WTF did I just watch...

[@ADeckOfSecrets]

1. The Maestro forces the 3S 2. One of the 3S has holes in the shape of spades. The Maestro takes the advantage of the "Black" Magic Pad's background to place the card with the holes to show the transformation 3. He then quickly replaces it with the proper 3S card and then hands it over to prove it's not gimmicked. I've read Maestro's books and Dani DaOrtiz and Lennart Green's collections. I'm sorry to say that while I admire The Maestro, his evident action of trying to prove the card isn't gimmicked disappointed me a bit.

[@amimerespeta]

The 6 clubs on second place make the magic

[@jimbob2980]

sad that a so called great magician has to resort to this rather than umpteen basic sleight of hand ways to achieve the same effect.

[@paulhamj6175]

You must be joking.

[@rongiesecke5168]

You have zero idea who you’re talking about. He cares about people an moments-not some fleeting criticism from the margins.

[@andyjones6502]

lol it's JUAN TAMARIZ! Generally accepted (by people who know what they're talking about) as the greatest living close up magician. The man is a genius (read his books).

[@mrdirexion]

Damnit that was a good idea. Transformate!
