[UNINTENTIONAL ASMR] Ricky Jay. Card sounds.

Ricky Jay. Genius.
Starts a bit loud but all quiet from about 1 minute in.

There is something about the old sound of the camera and quality that just make the asmr even better

Lol I was wondering the same thing. Since I was a kid he always had that white hair

[@chewiechips4986]

That is so horrible but so true XD

[@Synthetic-Rabbit]

I was thinking the same thing lol. He's one of those guys like "colin mochrie" who seem to stay the same age for your entire life.

[@StealthySpace7]

Here’s how the trick is done. If you watch very carefully as he collects the deck, right after placing all 5 cards into it, you will notice that he is a level 10 wizard. This trait allows him to perform magical acts that we can’t begin to fathom

[@marcpolain5549]

[@kylogq]

Lol I actually know how he does it maybe because I my self am a magician but yea he’s still very good and deceptive with everything he does

[@xqr_]

[@kylogq]

@@xqr_ the deck is in complete order already all the shuffles and cuts are false for example up the ladder and the push through shuffle and also the gamblers combit

Wrong, he is a warlock and he has casted an illusion spell on you. You are bewitched

I love that he doesn't have to talk. No bullshit, just talent.

Sometimes bullshit is part of the talent, it's called showmanship.

If you watch of any other video of him you’d learn talking was a great talent of his

[@grantdowling8550]

the way he slams half the deck on top of the other commands respect.

[@sark0283]

It's actually a way to distract and hide the fake cut he is making. But it has the added power you mentioned

[@FlyingGold]

This guy was in some movies I remember. Boogie Nights. I recognized his face. Didn’t know he was so good at card magic. Checked his IMDB page and it said he died last year. RIP Ricky Jay

[@mikemcculley]

Yep. RIP. Ricky Jay wasn't just good. He was a master sleight of hand artist.

[@rustybean36]

Also in an episode of the x files. Cool guy

There is nothing unintentional about this. This man knew exactly what he was doing. Some of the best asmr you’ll ever find

[@ACTUALLYRICH]

Hand down the greatest card trick I’ve ever seen.

[@billwhite7883]

Same

[@GermanTopGameTV]

This trick is great, because it is fundamentally really simple: all he does is not mixing the cards. They are presented in exactly the order they were in the deck. The brilliance lies in tricking the audience that he thoroughly mixes the cards. He never does.

[@davidthieroff9452]

I think that's it. He's shown how fake shuffles are done and I thought I recognized it here. The guy is brilliant.

[@justjust5580]

It goes from “oh that’s pretty cool” to “wait what the” in seconds and it’s brilliant

[@captcareb5009]

This man is looking at me like he already finished the trick so I assumed my brain was just catching up the whole time

[@scotdavies6175]

Ricky jay was the best card mechanic to ever walk the earth

[@Bizzozeron]

even beyond the trick itself whats super fascinating is how he appears to give these cards more weight than they have with his hand movements

[@matthewkorzec197]

2:43 Watch his left hand

[@yanikkunitsin1466]

Actually, while Rick is a great master, a lot of the switches and fake tosses are visible even on this old blurry video. Whole routine is brilliant though...

[@randy7068]

He has to split the deck with one hand. What am I looking at?

[@matthewkorzec197]

Eggchin X Just trying to show you how the trick was done my man... thanks for being gracious

[@matthewkorzec197]

Jack Hubbard It just shows how that trick was done

[@TigerDriver66]

Yep. It’s quite a well known trick now, but at the time this was mind boggling. Ricky was special.

[@Zombecz]

I loved listening to him and his tricks many years earlier even when I was unaware of the asmr phenomenon. RIP.

[@Enkarashaddam]

He makes it look so effortless

[@kirstiecampbell6823]

Came here for asmr and in the first few seconds was just STEVE MARTIN WHAT

[@justsalty2479]

I feel like this is just perfect execution of a perfect technique. If you riffle shuffle a deck twice (flawlessly, and alternate which half has the card at the bottom of the shuffle) you get the deck back in perfect order. Note, his first two shuffles alternated. So essentially, those first two shuffles didn't matter. The next 4 riffle shuffles were all on the same side. So two cards are moved rotated out of order from the top to the bottom. So basically what I'm saying, unless he is palming something, I think he has worked out the math, and making perfect execution. Which is wildly impressive.

[@justsalty2479]

However there were cuts. So this is unlikely (1:55 he swaps hands, 3:40 deck on the left gets bigger).

[@vantagepanda5048]

You’re right that it’s a perfect execution of a perfect technique, but two perfect riffle shuffles will only get you a quarter of the way - to restore the original deck order you need to perform eight perfect riffle shuffles (with some fake cuts and fake shuffles thrown in as well). This performance is amazing.

[@melissais]

Omg the best unintentional ASMR!

[@stevc1122]

If anyone is wondering how he did it, he switches the decks at 1:55 when it goes out of camera shot. Then he just pretends to shuffle the cards to throw you off. Still very impressive though

[@SacredLiquid]

This is incorrect.
