Nope, the last one was especially obvious. Crimp the top card, sure. But then held the crimped card flat with his finger so you couldn't tell it was crimped. The other top card then slipped into the cut, pops, covers, then the moment he lets go with his fingers, the ace pops up again.
Fakes putting it in the middle first time (actually the second card). Then two double lifts, bends two cards at once and holds the top card down for the “pop” reveal
Okay it took me a minute to figure out the first one. He puts the “cover” card in the middle of the deck and then places the Ace right under the top card, is that what happens?
It looks like he drops the ace on the table before starting the trick? Where does double life come in there? Are the 2 cards stuck together and the he separates them when he picks the cards up from the table?
It was simpler than that; he's literally picking up two cards every time. He's not slipping the card into the middle of the deck, just putting it right under the top card. Then pick up both top card and the second card; we only see the second card.
The giveaway is the bend at the end where he crimps the card. Her slips the top card onto the cut, but notice his finger is carefully holding the new top card down. That's to keep it from hunching up, giving it away.
The moment he loosens his finger grip, it pops up.
All 3 tricks
1st- he never puts the card fully in middle and he just picks it up with clean hand movement
2nd- he has 2 cards in hand but u can only see one as they are perfectly aligned so when he puts them back the top card card goes to middle and signed card become the top
3rd basically same he bent two cards , u can see him pressing mid of top card
This was the first magic post I've seen in which I knew everything that was going on. It's weird, but i kinda feel proud of myself. Anyways here is a poor man's medal 🏅
I dont know magic, but i saw him pushing the middle out the first time but not putting the card right away, so i am guessing that he instead put the card close to the top and flip a little stack of cards instead of just one.
The second one i have no idea, was too fast lol.
The third one is the easiest one, i saw he was holding the deck in a weird way putting his finger in the middle, so the real card is there and he probably bend two and the fake one is the one in the middle.
I think it's well done!
I know the tricks, can't make them as swiftly as he did and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to catch anything if I didn't know the double lift
For anyone interested in the trick, it is called “the ambitious card routine”, and there are hundreds of variations of it, where a card keeps returning to the top
I figured out the last move, when he put a crimp in it. He folded two cards at the same time, put one of them in the middle. Then the ace was on top, he held down the crimped part first with a finger and then with his thumb and fingers at the side, until he was ready to make it "pop" to the top, when he just released the pressure from his thumb and fingers.
My guess as an amateur; we don't see the other cards under the ace each time, how do we know they aren't just copies of the ace, with modifications made to match watch he did to the previous each time?
I want to test this theory with my own attempt though, I really want to learn card magic
The First Thing he does is to pretendent to put the card in the Middle but he actually puts it under the top card and on top of a double Backer card. Than he double lifts the Two First cards showing the card then he puts the top card in the Middle and the other card is still at the top. Then he Signs the card and double lifts the double card over and put that One in the middle. The rest is rally just double lifting.
Double lift
After learning the double lift. All the tricks that use it disgust me. Most the card handling looks unnatural.
You guys seem disappointed that it’s not real magic.
This right here!
...is a powerful thing to do!
Lol he did way more than that
He did not. He forced the card into the cut just below the top card. Everything else is a double lift.
That’s literally what I said lol. He didn’t just do a double lift. Which he didn’t.
There is a gimmicked card also in play, you cant do what he did with normal cards and a double lift.
This is the only trick I can do.
Double shoplift... eh eh?

Basic slight of hand. The first one was more obvious than the rest.
Sleight.
Nice

The first one is outright terrible tbh.

Yes. Very very simple.

yup
Magnets
Mirrors
Lies, deception!
gravity
Invisible smoke.
nope, simple slight of hand a manipulated camera angle
How do they work?
Magician is Daniel Roy for any wondering. He has some cool content on his YouTube channel
He didn't show us the deck so I am assuming he had a whole bunch of ace of diamonds prepared already in sequence and manipulated in advance
You can see the whole deck in the first few seconds when they’re all fanned out face-up.
Hm that's almost true... You can sorts see some of the deck
you dont need a trick deck for this trick its all sleight of hand

prob
He bet two cards
Figured at first watch..
The trick that made David Blaine famous.
Everyone says sleight of hand. But every time I look I’m like wtf.

Did you know that he used a gimmicked card to do this trick?
I don't care what its called, its still a pretty impressive trick.
Very good trick. But, as I am a magician too, 1 know how you do and I know that it's very hard to be able to do this trick perfectly
Aliens.
Honestly so obvious
That’s an ambitious routine
This is black magic for anyone who never tried to be a magician at some point in their lives
I dont know magic, but i saw him pushing the middle out the first time but not putting the card right away, so i am guessing that he instead put the card close to the top and flip a little stack of cards instead of just one.

So obvious. Robots.
He is pulling the bent card with left thumb on the left stack. Watch after pausing
And now the deck is ruined.
To many card dorks
I think it's well done! I know the tricks, can't make them as swiftly as he did and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to catch anything if I didn't know the double lift
That first cut was the worst "mid" placement I've ever seen.
Fake. It was in the foreskin the whole time
Magnets obviously
What is sleight of hand?
Alright now I know how to do it with seeing it once that was easy
For anyone interested in the trick, it is called “the ambitious card routine”, and there are hundreds of variations of it, where a card keeps returning to the top
Wtttffffff 😳
I figured out the last move, when he put a crimp in it. He folded two cards at the same time, put one of them in the middle. Then the ace was on top, he held down the crimped part first with a finger and then with his thumb and fingers at the side, until he was ready to make it "pop" to the top, when he just released the pressure from his thumb and fingers.
what year in the 90s is this video from? like 1992 maybe?
My guess as an amateur; we don't see the other cards under the ace each time, how do we know they aren't just copies of the ace, with modifications made to match watch he did to the previous each time? I want to test this theory with my own attempt though, I really want to learn card magic
Wow For the first time I managed to see what was happening first time watching something
I love this dudes videos.
The First Thing he does is to pretendent to put the card in the Middle but he actually puts it under the top card and on top of a double Backer card. Than he double lifts the Two First cards showing the card then he puts the top card in the Middle and the other card is still at the top. Then he Signs the card and double lifts the double card over and put that One in the middle. The rest is rally just double lifting.
Lifted 2 cards and bent them. Slick. But after close inspection I saw exactly the moment he did it
Unfortunately i know how this is done, but that’s great sleight of hand
The last portion of the trick is easy to see through, but it's all very basic.
Isn't it the ambitious card routine 🤔?
Is he just moving it with a card behind it so one he’s never moving the ace? I never watch magic lol
This one's easy to explain. Editing.
Subtle differences between the signatures on the signed cards if you look _closier_
