Despite knowing the secret, the presentation and performance are easily 80 percent of the whole trick.

[@mons3020]

Yeah, keeping the 7 behind the 3 is not as easy as it looks!

[@mitchellmcglamry2074]

Lots of practice and skill

[@evgoumiz4470]

I can’t even figure out the double lift lol. Every time he does it I’m amazed

[@phihoang3879]

Fool me once with the card trick Fool me again when he said this is a very easy to learn card trick

[@alexismandelias]

3 double lifts is hard?

[@Cam-wm6eh]

Hard for me. I got No sleight of hand.

[@devashisgd7349]

Not that hard. I can do it

[@alexismandelias]

@@Cam-wm6eh if you don't practise of course it's hard... You gotta put in some time. Get a deck of cards, arrange in alternating red-black order then do a doublelift every time to get same colour. Do this many times with the entire deck to master strike doublelift

[@Gymantis]

@@alexismandelias so what he said is right. It's not easy. If you want it to be easy then you have to practice.

[@KinnereyB]

Again. I love that you teach packet tricks. They are so underrated, under used, and under appreciated. It’s ridiculous too bc every layperson is always really into them if presented correctly. It’s almost as if subconsciously they believe it couldn’t be possible to do magic with 3-4 cards.

[@deliro8758]

I always think that magicians are overestimating the secret parts of their tricks. The trick itself is cool but most people wonder about what happened while it's actually much more fascinating how these sleight of hands are done. Takes so much effort, practice and performance skills to pull even such a basic trick off

[@dealbusters472]

lol i was watching you do the double flip or whatever its called,lol i still have no idea wtf you just did,lol

[@limpparip0ju]

Yeah me too

[@vegas434336]

Exactly.....i played it back 32 times and still cant catch it

[@saphired02]

Spoilers.... Its just flipping the places

[@Misthallow]

he spreads out the the 4 cards leaving 2 cards shown and a stack of 2 cards as the 3rd card. He then flips the 2 cards over in a way where it only shows it as 1 card. Then he flips it back and puts down the top card which is the 7 of spades

[@edvindelkic9097]

He flips 2/4 cards, when he flips those cards over the front card is the 3 of hearts, but when he does it again, he flips them back over and grabs the top card (7) en lays it down

[@theavataroni9453]

"Once you do know you can't unknow" Wrong! I forgot the whole thing when I tried to do it

Amazing trick as usual! Hats off to you! The best part about all your card tricks is that you explain each and every step in a perfect way. Every little moves & holding the cards. And you kind of do that twice or thrice while explaining which is a kind of revision that helps to grasp easily. Waiting for more card tricks. More monte tricks (without gimmicks or special preparation) & I would love to learn the four ace production from you! Once again, thank you for this amazing trick 👏👍

Dude! I’m about to turn 40 and am just now starting to learn card tricks and slight of hand, and your instruction is excellent. I’ve got a loooooong way to go because I’m having trouble with the most “simple” things, but I’m enjoying the journey. Subscribed!

[@Twobarpsi]

Thanks for teaching. I'm a beginner, and have started doing your tricks with great results! Thanks for breaking the magician's code, it's benefiting a lot of people!

Now this will be my first magic to my new journeys, thank you.

[@paulbrookfield2668]

Wow it’s the skill of slight of hand, master that you can do anything you want.

[@hulkslayer626]

So I know learning the secret of a magic trick usually takes the fun out of it... but honestly, I think I am equally impressed by how this is done as I was when it was done. I am now a firm believer that there is magic at a magic show... but it isn't the tricks, the magic is the magicians hands. I would think you have to practice this literally hundreds of times to get good enough at it to be the magicians you see on t.v.

[@xxtx2870]

2:37 for some reason this just made me laugh when we was like ‘aslong as some one doesn’t do this to u’

Preferred to be amazed and stopped before the tutorial. Two days later, watched again until the end. Still amazed.

[@radicalrights7130]

I came here last year, I couldn't do it. Now, I'm a freaking master of it. Thanks man.

[@aaronwalderslade]

Nice trick thanks for demonstrating the double lift flourish. So many magicians do that part without teaching it. I quite like the idea of shoving the three in the middle and saying it got stuck between floors, let's bring it up! Then let them examine the deck. Also, if you get the three cards at the beginning by fetching them from the deck to its face, it makes it easier to add the dummy card issuing a pinky break.

[@bigdaddyhawk5365]

Reaally loved that pause for people who wanted to try

[@ndttvclipsreborn]

Hello?? Can we just say how awesome his presentation is? I almost skipped this because it was recommended,glad I didnt. Now I will learn everything from this man

[@adriver35]

Glad to know I’m not the only one

[@savage937671]

You’re picking up two cards while only revealing the bottom card of the two, hence why you saw the 3 but he placed down the seven, he did a second double lift so you saw the two but he placed the 3, with the ace and two still in his hand he presents it without a flip so only the ace is revealed, the two and ace is set on top of the deck but the two is actually placed on the bottom

[@CrowMorder]

This is the trick that got me into magic, it's beautyful and can lead to anything really, you can use everything for this. It's sort of a 1 ahead ambitious card routine but stabler

[@user-ud3hy8ho7d]

Awesome and if I’m remembering right, Easy. Sooooo satisfying to tap the top card and pretend it travels to the bottom

[@russ7868]

I love tricks like this! You teach it well. Thank you!

[@ptrichie71]

[@marianscan]

I can't believe i got the trick! 😄 Its confusing at first but i still keep watching..and its hard to do it at hands but you'll get uesd to it..like you have to hold 2 cards so that 3 of hearts will show up but the real card is upper cover..is 7 of spades...yah i dont know if you get it.

[@CarlOkoye]

The last phase got me real good...wasnt even expecting it to be that instant..was waiting for sleights

[@jacklamata2544]

Man I Switch the Video back over over again, I don’t get it how you make the double move!!! I think it’s a skill you have to born with it.

[@miorgel3666]

So I watched it again and again and i finely got it. He never switch between the two cards. The seven on top then he pick it and the three below and shows the bottom which is the three and he put the cards exactly how he picked them. He does this only to make u think the three is on top. He basically shows u the cards and thats it.

[@too_many_mannys]

I remember going to a magic show when I was in middle school with my family and the magician did a similar trick, but his was an in depth story using multiple cards. I'm assuming it's the same concept as this but you'll just need more marker cards like the 7 of spades.

[@gabe1277]

yes lol it was probably that, because people like him can do a quadruple lift seem like a single lift. its pretty impressive

[@auburnengineer]

Love the video Tom. The trick is so visual. I’m having trouble with the double lift. My cards are so slick they won’t move together no matter how much or little pressure I put on them. Any ideas how I can fix that part. Or is the a way you could expound on the double lift part? I can’t quite get it down. Would love a little more explanation. Maybe you already expound on another video?

[@leefisher6366]

Hi Tom, Now all you need to add into the narrative is the bit where the lift gets stuck in between floors, and flip the deck to show the card you need is somewhere in the middle. I guess that's possible, actually.
