Nestor Hato REVEALED - Penn and Teller Fool Us | The Card Trick Secret Exposed

Please Note: This is my own interpretation of the effect seen on Penn & Teller. I cannot say for certain that this is the method, maybe not? If you are offended by any magic revelation, please do not view this video.
One of the best card performances that totally fooled Penn & Teller on Fool Us Season 6 Episode 12. Nestor Hato changed any cards in to Aces right under the noses, close up, of Penn & Teller.
Revealed is a method that can be used to recreate the exact same appearance as Nestor. Watch the performance, then learn how to make this trick and perform it for friends and family.
The method used here is not a new idea, but can have its origin traced back many years. A variation appeared in the Tarbell magic course, David Britland had a similar effect called Angel Card Rise, I own a version of the gimmick called Jumping Jacks. I think these can be used for this effect..

I wish the term exposed was not used in these videos that show methods. "Method revealed" would be a bit more classy. Exposed seems to point towards something nefarious being done. I do appreciate you saying it's your interpretation though. It's a clever method that requires good handling. However Nestor Hato did this routine is moot, his performance was brilliant and beautiful. And that really, is what magic is about...presentation. Thanks for posting this method though, it's clever.

Could just be a translation thing. Common for second language speakers to use harsher words unintentionally

[@CrunkNuts]

@@Shayce he's clearly British though.

[@BvBCrafty]

Yes I totally agree, such a great trick, great act, great magician. No need to expose him...

[@rznmsc5495]

The word choice isn’t “exposed” to defame the trick or magician, but simply for KZbin algorithms, clickbait, and advertising manipulation. Tabloid titles sell.

[@bonnome2]

Another interesting part of this is that he throws the deck at the end, so Penn and Teller won't look at it. Not like anyone is going to stoop down and collect all the cards.

Wow. That was simpler than I thought: I had some kind of pinky count for special positions and a quadruple lift in mind. :)

[@artax5005]

Me too, but I couldn't explain the smoothness of the handling :)

[@kimflores6359]

Nestor Hato released his version of the gimmick a while back!

[@kennethdong3650]

He did shuffle the cards tho, so hmm

[@c0t0netes]

@@kennethdong3650 not the top ones tho, he shuffled only the bottom ones if I remember right the top one was a bit of a mess :)

This is truly amazing. I’m going to have to try a few things with this info now xD I just added 3 new PHENOMENAL tricks to my repertoire recently but this has a lot of potential. Yay for vintage magic gimmicks and those who know of them xD

[@LouigiVerona]

Allow me to say something about Lennart Green. He is not sloppy at all. His persona, his presentation paints a picture of sloppiness, but this is intentional. I highly recommend his DVD, where you see how methodical and clean his sleights are.

[@totallymagic]

Don't get me wrong, I love the sloppy presentation style of Lennart, and I know he is a brilliant skilled card manipulator. The way he presents is great, looks more natural to most spectators.

[@timharris72]

Thanks for the recommend. I bought a couple DVDs. Hopefully they will be good!

[@hanzelnuts8446]

That was very impressive! I have watched that Fooled Us episode several times at .25x speed and was able to catch....nothing. Well, there was a quick glimpse of the Ace in one frame.😂. I think you and your group of friends have figured out how the trick was done. Penn and Teller was right there burning his hands and the magician was still able to pull it off. Thank you very much for this tutorial.

[@yournamehere004]

i wouldve thought most people that have been around already knew this. Nestor actually released it a while back (2009 i think). the gimmick is called Nestorizer.

[@puksb]

This is awesome. So many of us want to know this. Yet the actual few people that are smart enough, care enough, and ambitious enough to not only figure this out, but LEARN it, and VIDEO and POST it. Full disclosure, when I first saw you, you had credibility, but that moment you said “I can’t do that flourish/production” I almost closed the video. I’m so glad I didn’t! I went from this guy’s a joke, to dammmnnnn! This guy’s totally legit. When you did that first reveal you gained a subscriber and fan mister. I’m curious how much flak the “don’t reveal the secrets of magicians” crowd will give you. Thank you, thank you,. This was plaguing me as to how he did this.

[@sureshchandrajena9134]

Thank you so much. Really you are so great. May god bless you and your family also.

[@daverenick4782]

i can't think of a better explanation...terrific tutorial...thanks! I watched Mr. Hato do it again....if this is in fact his method....He is doing it so quickly I can't spot a thing....He peels off the top four cards with a diagonal sweep....this would be the critical moment when he'd be ejecting the aces....but since the cards are not coming off in a straight line from the top of the deck....rather on a diagonal....you would think you might spot the elastic ejection which would come out on a straight line, therefore possible be revealed by the diagonal trajectory of the top cards....so the sleight would need to be done with exquisite timing ....so that ten cards are removed with 2 separate angles merged into one graceful apparency. So, if this is the case....it just means his mastery is exceptional....but....that is why he enjoys the reputation he does among his peers....and that's the main point I suppose...he is capable of that level of grace and momentum.....

[@ThePallidor]

Slow it down to 0.25x on the final phase, you can see an ace pop out.

[@artax5005]

Thank you great video! I had watched the P&T video several times but I couldn't notice anything suspicious, the handling was so smooth that I ruled out any possible multiple lifts or switches, but still I couldn't comprehend how it was performed. Nice job!

[@Manuite]

Awesome! I so wish there was a method to reproduce this with a regular/borrowed deck.

[@Vladx35]

An excellent interpretation, but Nestor removes pressure from the deck on several occasions which would eject the cards. I don't think that was how he did it. If he did it like that however, it was totally masterful.

[@oshereldanIL]

AMAZING!

[@gypsytarot333]

The "fancy flourish" at the beginning of the trick (4 K's) also uses the gimmick, as evidenced in the video ad for his nestorizer DVD from years back

[@pungenttoad7324]

The fancy flourish doesn’t use this gimmick at all it’s an extremely simple cardristry reveal that thousands of people use. No gimmick needed just a few days of practice.

[@magicinlockdown]

Three cards were on the top, the third one upside down, and the fourth card was at the bottom.

[@leroyarellano3916]

Thats a lovely trick

[@bobbobbinson1841]

Gratitude!

[@dylanwright3362]

This is definitely how he does it, I watched all of the moves in 0.25 speed and there were definitely more than 4 cards when he lifted them.. Off to make that gimmick and learn this

[@kimflores6359]

L0GiC Laden yep I also watched closely and realised something was shooting them out, Nestor released his version of this gimmick a while bk

[@johncox5839]

I thought you were crazy at first with this suggestion, but sounds like a very likely way to pull it off, sousing a gimmick that hasn’t been used much in 30 years. Thanks for posting! Also, Nestor was so fast it was beautiful to watch nonetheless

[@panayiotav7037]

The tutorial actually starts at 5:53

[@ThatGuateKid]

Thank you

[@paulbrashier912]

Juan tamariz used a similar technique for getting a card previously selected from a deck of cards by a total stranger naturally they need to play ball! 👍🏻 He’d stiick them back in the box and naturally one pops out as soon as the pack is open! Elmsley uses something similar as well for his rising card! 👍🏻

[@depauwgerlings]

Lennart Green is my favourite magician

[@RodMacNevin]

Clever trick, great explanation. Thank you.

[@hogsquicktricks6155]

That's incredible. Such a simple gimmick to achieve a baffling effect. Your opening performance is so close up and I couldn't see anything tricky. Right where is my elastic thread glue and cards.

[@robjacks2748]

Wow, I really like this one. Very well taught. You're awesomeness incarnate. Do you glue two cards together to make the gimmicks or is it just crazy glued? BTW., I love Lennart Greens sloppy style.

[@kimflores6359]

I also love Lennart Greens messy style

[@darvis111]

If you watch his amazing performance, when he riffle shuffles the cards a couple times you can see that he does it in the way that leaves a pretty big packet of cards that don't get riffled that points to using this technique i think. When i watched his trick that was the only thing that seemed weird.

[@luisfortunaGQ]

SoftCheeks I thought the same thing that’s why I looked this up lol

[@gypsytarot333]

[@miguelangelmaim8507]

Estoy impresionado! Con un poco de práctica puede quedar una genial rutina. Saludos. Gracias.

[@An1cat]

While this is a good theory, I am not 100% sure I'm convinced this is how he does it. Yes, he has to be turning over 8 cards as 4, and your theory shows one way he could do it easily, but my evidence is at 1:23 if your linked video of the performance. The one of the kings he just transformed into an ace is now at the bottom of one of his packets. Initially I thought he just did a packet change, and already had the 4 aces on the top, and smoothly put the 4 kings on the bottom while making it look like he put them on top, however, that is not true because at 1:04 in that video, before he's even revealed that he's changed the kings into aces, you can clearly see that's it's a 10D on the bottom. Now at 1:02, you can see he has his cheeky little pinky ready for keeping a break, then shortly after that, when he places the Kings back on top, before he squares up, he has some cards side jogged (against the meaty part of his thumb), that might be the 4 aces. Basically, he's really, very, very good, and I think he did this with sleights more than gimmicks, however, your gimmick idea might be something us hobbiest magicians might be able to pull off.

[@racketjoules7946]

yeah im with ya. I dont really think there was an elastic gimmick going on there. Half of the performance hes just casually holding the deck and not really holding it tight. Props to this guy because it looked the same to me but hes definitely doing something different

[@pungenttoad7324]

Jason Weller this is definitely how he does it because he now sells this gimmick so other people can do it.

[@momchilandonov]

Great turorial and possibly how Nestor did it. Only thing lacking was good slight of hand while demonstrating ;p.

[@totallymagic]

yes I admit my sleight of hand has never been good, probably because I'm too lazy to master it LoL. From other comments I think Nestor probably did it another way?

[@brillianthoram3522]

Yes, as you said we saw one black Ace.

[@larryrobinson8356]

Wow!!!

[@vivek-1318]

Awesome

[@robertzeurunkl8401]

This certainly seems a probably solution. That's probably why he threw the cards over his should when done, so they couldn't be examined, and the elastic cord probably wouldn't be noticed on the floor behind him as he wrapped up the dialog.

[@blwatches2260]

This is so clever

[@samuelhodges6471]

it really is how its done, check the video of nestor hato, on 4:40 maybe, slow it down and you'll see the four cards jumped from a gap. the camera is close up on his hands

[@cfov]

So is there a name for the gimmicked cards? Are they commonly known as something? If I wanted to explain to someone what it is called. Thanks

[@floydcornell6592]

Just want to say "Thanks"

[@billgreen4003]

Cool

[@tny_phx]

In the beginning, I could not believe that this method is the one he used because he sometimes spread the cards so smoothly in his hands. But when I watched the video several times again frame by frame you can see the move happen at 4.45 min (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5LcfKJ4rKeYfbc). When you skip through the video at 0.25 speed and hit pause frame by frame you see how a small package of cards jumps out of the deck so you see the 4 selected cards and on top a small package of the 4 Aces. It is a very simple trick but because of that and the way he performed it, it was a completly fooler to me. Very nicely done!

[@Leppux]

but he threw the cards at the end?

It might the way but , I dont so he did it that way P&T are one the most talented it cant be that easy to fool them,at the start 1-03 in nestro video it was very clean & at 1-24 he shuffle the card that way very clear & clean shuffle.
