World’s GREATEST Self-Working Card Trick!

[@steventaputoro]

This is such a fun trick to perform. It’s crazy to think it’s even possible! Screenshot the setup to your phone incase you need to setup again. Enjoy!

[@randomhartbrothers]

You air are a hero! Well done indeed and Thank you. I'm making this tonight lol

[@ThePrufessa]

I hate self working card tricks. Because you can always just tell that the deck was pre arranged.

[@DeanPaulVelo]

One of the best card trick ever!💯 It's absolutely mind blowing!👌 I salute you for sharing this trick🫡 Thank you so much for this free amazing trick🙏🏻

[@Oeugh]

You know, usually these "Best card trick EVER" type videos on KZbin are total clickbait or just a simple old trick, but this one was indeed the strongest self-working card trick I've ever seen, this is so powerful, thank you for teaching this!

[@steventaputoro]

My pleasure mate 👌🏽

[@barryg1373]

You know I've been doing magic since I have been 6 years old........cards have always been my forte.......I am now 65 and I can honestly say this is one of the best self working card effects I've seen or done. When you can keep doing a card effect such as this one and keep amazing yourself, that's a great sign its' time to add this to your set......what a joy this is......thanks

[@redcloak5230]

What better ones have you seen. I am 17 so I am still dedicated to learning magic. Please share your wisdom.

[@Reptex_cs]

It's very simple though. I'm surprised it impresses people so much

[@magicrev]

This is a trick by Cameron Francis called 'Convergence' Just making sure the right people get credit for their creativity. 😊

[@meatblanketcomedy6998]

Wait a second. There's an online magician who gives credit to the original magician? You got to be kidding me.... this guy is a joke.

[@mrpink7395]

This trick is way older then Cameron. 😂

[@magicrev]

@@mrpink7395 Any references or sources to back that claim up?

[@binnsbrian]

Just enjoy the trick.

[@qj0n]

@@magicrev people mention here in the comments seeing this trick as early as the '80, so I'd assume it's unlikely (unless he created it as a teenager)

[@markkennedy5955]

Best trick ever taught for free on KZbin! Hands down!!!!!

[@bvbarlow]

Fantastic! I've learned a bunch of card tricks from you and I don't go anywhere without all of my card decks. I especially like entertaining the staff on cruise ships as we walk around. Those folks are so busy working that they really appreciate being entertained for a couple minutes.

[@vipars888magic]

I have always been interested in magic for many years in particular card tricks. I have seen many and only perform a few. This is one that I will be adding to my list .... a very clever and smart trick

[@Geo4tune]

This will become my favorite magic trick. Thank you!

[@mrpink7395]

My uncle showed me this and a few other math based card tricks in the late 80’s. This is the first I’ve seen this done outside of my family. Nice job on his video. Cheers! 🍻

[@noThankyou-g5c]

i bought a very similar trick from daniel ortiz a year ago. made me the coolest uncle ever. this one is even easier and maybe even more impressive! now i can keep the magic alive 😅

[@horatiuflorea674]

It's just amazing and you are such a nice teacher. Never did any card trick but I love watching, I'll start doing it with my family

[@donmago]

Fabulously fun and very magical!!! Recommend stating and showing that the top card of the face down blue deck is the QC and the bottom card (face card of the deck) of the face down blue deck is the QS, detail but adds clarity. Our local Sarasota Florida magician group meets every Tuesday evening at IHOP and we share our learned magic and critiques...this one is a really big winner. Thanks for sharing. I know you will not regret sharing this as the legacy of all magicians is when a magician 70- years from now says something like, "I learned this one is from Steveb Taputoro. Add to that the wonderfully brightened audiences. How can it be better then that!

[@brianmendenhall8387]

Can I ask why you point out the top and bottom cards are the QS and QC? I was thinking just spread it face down and then ribbon fourish spread it face up, letting them glance that it is all mixed up. You can't let them stare too long as to possibly discover the pattern. Love to know your thoughts!

[@donmago]

My comment was for the magicians to ensure their Sy Stebbins deck was stacked correctly, not to show the spectators. I already had a Sy Stebbins deck and simply cut it to use for this trick. This was also a comment for Steve.

[@JoelSolomon-q5x]

Chur Bro! This is an incredible trick Steve. I’ve run though it a few times and feeling very confident about it. I’ll have to go out now to find a willing audience and leave them as stunned mullets. Keep up the good work and thank you so much. 👍👍👍

[@kevinogracia1615]

Very cool. I just turned 65 and have loved magic since I was a kid. Right on. Peace on earth.

[@darrenhadden1037]

A+ 🎉 I love ACAAN tricks and this is worth the effort setting up. Thanks for sharing this gem 💎 Steve

[@drhiteshbhatt1179]

Very nice trick and you are the best teacher.... Where is the link to detail explanation of arrangement of boxed deck?

[@charlielewis3261]

This is great, I'm just getting in to performing for people after learning and practicing just for myself. I really enjoy card magic but lack confidence. Thanks for sharing, I might have to do this one at the Christmas party if I can get the confidence to do some tricks

[@carlpowers7291]

This was pretty awesome! Thanks so much

[@TheCyberadam26]

This is a FANTASTIC routine, Steven! Thank you so much for sharing it with the community. It's amazing how the combination of a stack and CHSD can produce an effect that will knock your audience over with amazement. I look forward to adding this to my repetoire.

[@claudepapillon]

Thank you for this. The simpleness of it and the logic is marvellous. Be bless!

[@ArturArutiunian]

So cool! Thanks for sharing this trick!

[@shelly.4129]

Thanks Steven, This is one of the best card tricks I’ve seen in a long time. Love it. I tried it out and was very impressed. Amazing.

[@craftymagic9547]

Every now and again, something special comes along, and this trick is definitely one of those. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@steventaputoro]

You’re welcome mate 🙏🏽

[@joannahoyle7625]

Thank you for sharing. I know a lot of tricks and stacked deck ones always seem a bit of a farce, but the beauty of this I think, is that you can shuffle the numbered one and therefore you can get away with the blue one being stacked. My questions are how the Hell does it work? and who the Hell discovers these things? Genius!

[@mrg2384]

Absolutely brilliant,much appreciated for sharing,last week I attended my cousins funeral Christopher halliwell who passed away suddenly aged 52,so as a fitting way to remember the formula CHSD ,Christopher Halliwell sadly died.

[@jamesharrison142]

Brill trick!!! Looks great ❤

[@CarlAllison-hv6oy]

Fantastic trick that Steven!!! No wonder you kept quiet about it 😊 thank you so much for sharing with us mate I really appreciate all your times and efforts pal with thanks from your friend in England UK carl 😊🌟👏👍👌🌟🌟🌟

[@pmgaudio]

AWESOME TRICK cannot wait to try it.. I just started learning Crad magic the last year or so and thi sone will DEFINATLEY be in the bag!!!

[@fumikoshaw]

Yup, creative, impossible, clean, fun, and so worth the set-up! I'm adding a steal of chased card for spec to shuffle even more or just shuffling myself and retaining btm card. Is that overkill? hahaha! I love practicing tricks that fool myself!!! You made a lot of people happy by sharing your gems with us! A part of you will be taken around the world! this one reached the land of Aloha in Hawaii! wishing you a magical life!

[@steventaputoro]

Aloha! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏽

[@robertboudreau1493]

Nice trick. Quick tought and tips about the Stibbing. If you going throught face up , it's possible that more alert people might notice the red/black pattern. I have seen it before. So if you do it face down, you have to change the order but get the same result with a bigger build up 😊 thank for the share!

[@daimagic]

I'd like to ask, what kind of camera are you using? I think your video is very clear!

[@generic53]

Thx. It would be interesting to know where YOU learned it.

[@thiagorfpinheiro]

An idea for you guys (using a table): - Spectators shuffle the red deck and name a card. - You spread the cards on a table and tell spectators to touch and take their chosen card. - While they search for their card, you locate "your" card and then cut the deck in the desired position. Tip: While spreading the cards you touch every single card in the table, trying to "help" them locating their card, but in fact you are locating your card and preparing yourself for cutting the deck.

[@Movietuff]

You read my mind

[@martinplace4748]

Mmm don't follow it, sorry.

[@Movietuff]

@@martinplace4748 maybe better to do like I end up doing. I spread the cards on the table and after the spectator removes their card, I split them in the spot of the correct card, and ask them to gather up the piles. They didn't suspect a thing.

[@Movietuff]

@@martinplace4748 anyways I don't approve Steves way of doing it it.

[@Movietuff]

@@martinplace4748 best tricks are the ones where spectator handles the cards as much as possible.

[@ICONofficialone]

[@brianmendenhall8387]

Here's what I'd like to share....just a thought on presentation and patter. I'll start by introducing both decks and simply say " so I've got 2 decks here, blue & red. Go ahead and 'choose one.' If they say blue you say "great, we'll use that one as our 'target' deck. If they say red you take the red deck and put attention on the blue deck simply saying the same thing, 'Ok you chose red, great we'll use the blue one as our 'target' deck." This works beautifully as it gives them that freedom to pick one, that they really had a free choice. Really they didn't....we end up using, shuffling, and showing them the red deck, even handing it to them to shuffle themselves....This feels carefree and that you aren't hiding anything. I might table spread the red deck face down and face up showing all the different numbers and faces in a normal deck. Once you've casually shown the deck ask them to visualize and name a card, it could be random and quick or it could be their favorite card. Maybe even have them change their mind saying "at the end of this you might ask yourself 'what if i had chose a different card'? This again is very open and free. Finally emphasize they can deal cards down one at a time, 2 , 3 or small clumps. Pause and show a back or two as they do this, again flashing different numbers each time they deal. Complete fairness. Finally carry on with them placing their card opposite the rest and table spread face down, revealing which number they freely placed their card. So far, so what......until you bring focus on the boxed blue deck. Say " We chose this at the very start as the target deck, it hasn't been touched. Open it and maybe give it a quick table ribbon spread on both sides so they see a reg shuffled deck. To bring it to an end point to their freely named card and the face down number card they landed on. Simply hand them the blue deck and either deal cards face up until you hit the card and number....Or for more drama you can take the face down deck and ribbon spread it, and show them how to count cards from the top to that number, sliding each card away as you count. Same ending, just with more suspense. I just made up my red deck and I really like it. I know it will fool laymen, leaving them nowhere to go. I hope my long winded ideas weren't too much?!?!🤷🏻😂

[@DavidDSimon]

If anything - this detracts from the trick as you've now given them what will obviously be a fake choice. These aren't two identical decks and aren't claimed to be - one of them has numbers written on the back. It will be very obvious when you open the second deck that there was no way you could even have performed the trick with the other deck. Forced choice doesn't really work when later in the trick it becomes clear what you did (and in this case - for no good reason).

[@brianmendenhall8387]

@DavidDSimon are you referring to my thoughts on the trick? I'm not sure I fully agree with you but your points are worth considering . Here's why. They have no idea what you are going to do. All they can see is a blue deck and a red deck. You haven't told them what the effect is yet. If I misunderstood you I apologize. I guess its really not necessary to give them the feeling they freely chose which deck to use first, but it doesn't hurt. They might feel like it was more fair you apparently let them decide. They definitely won't feel like "why can't I choose the blue deck first." Just move it aside and say it's the target deck for later. That's all I meant. But I suppose what you stated is also valid. Either way the trick plays out as intended, and I like how fooling it is. Cheers, thanks for your comments 👍🏻

Excellent Excellent trick! Thank you so much sir.

[@eyewaves...]

A neat ACAAN version...thank you for sharing...

[@JeanMoreau4573]

It is a very interesting trick endeed. But strictly speaking, it is not an ACAAN trick : to be so, a card as well as a number should be a free choice. It is not the case in this trick, as only the name of the card is a free choice. The number seems to be a free choice, but is not, it is forced by the other card 3 ranks up in the Si Stebbins stack used as a key card when compleeting the cut.

[@eyewaves...]

@@JeanMoreau4573 It is an ACAAN trick version. You are describe the Berglas effect - which appears to be a free choice - emphasis on 'appears'. Nearly every card trick is deception, sleigh, logic or force...Obviously mostly it is not obvious, lol...

[@seanfaherty]

[@davidcoe795]

I absolutely love this trick , I have used it loads with all my family and friends and people down the gym lol , it gets great reactions , I still can’t understand how it works , the blue deck is set up , but the red cards can be shuffled they can pick any card and place it anywhere in the deck and then everytime the card is in the same position as the blue deck , just blows my mind but I love it 😀👍

[@steventaputoro]

That’s awesome David!

​​​​@@modusponens18I compleetly agree with you, the order displayed for the blue deck is not that of a Si Stebbins stack ! Furthermore, this trick not a strict ACAAN, although it may seems like one.
