00:10 >> Quincy and Dylan.
00:24 Dylan, you gonna help me out?
00:25 Quincy, you gonna help me out?
00:26 Good, yeah.
00:27 >> Okay, please.
00:29 >> Here's the idea, Quincy, you're gonna choose one of the decks.
00:31 It's totally free choice, up to you.
00:33 Just grab, go ahead, grab it.
00:36 All right, well, that's the way it's gonna work.
00:37 You're gonna put that one in your pocket, you're gonna grab that.
00:39 We're gonna use this, yeah.
00:40 Now, make sure I don't get to it, make sure she doesn't get to it,
00:42 make sure nobody gets to it, nobody.
00:44 Sorry, good.
00:45 Watch this.
00:46 We're gonna go right here.
00:48 Anything else inside of us?
00:49 >> Nothing else.
00:49 >> Here's what's gonna happen, any people I start,
00:51 any reason why you chose the red deck.
00:54 >> No, it was just red.
00:56 >> It was just red.
00:57 >> Yeah.
00:57 >> That's a good reason.
00:58 >> It wasn't blue.
00:59 >> It wasn't blue, and that's a good reason.
01:01 Here's what's gonna happen, you're gonna just look at one card.
01:04 Don't tell anybody, don't write it down, it just stays in your head.
01:07 Got it?
01:07 I'm not gonna confuse you with all the cards, just a couple of cards.
01:10 You look at one, I'll look at you to make sure I'm not looking at her,
01:13 or trying to maybe follow her eyes.
01:14 Is that cool?
01:15 >> Yeah.
01:15 >> But no biggies, don't look at the five of clubs.
01:17 >> Yeah.
01:17 >> Remember the exact same card, remember, if it's a clubs or a spades or whatever.
01:21 You got one?
01:22 >> Got one.
01:23 >> I know I'm talking.
01:24 You got one.
01:25 >> Yeah.
01:25 >> Perfect.
01:26 Send that to me like magically or whatever, you got it?
01:29 Done.
01:29 >> Yeah, okay.
01:30 >> I don't know what that was, but it's done.
01:31 Watch this, all I do is I shake, and that, you didn't look at this one, right?
01:34 You didn't make any.
01:35 >> Yeah.
01:35 >> Watch this, the card is now gone.
01:39 The card you saw just a second ago without telling anybody is absolutely,
01:44 I just wanna make sure I didn't miss it, is absolutely gone.
01:47 Do you see it?
01:47 Do you see it?
01:49 Do you see your card?
01:50 You don't see it for the first time.
01:51 You remember that guy, remember him?
01:53 He has a deck in his pocket, right?
01:55 Watch this, it's gonna be crazy, it's gonna bug you out.
01:57 For the first time, take out that deck.
02:00 Take out the whole card, you take them out.
02:02 Look at all the faces on it.
02:03 Look at all the faces, all the faces of the cards, are they all different?
02:07 Look, they are different, yeah.
02:09 Look, look, look, close it up.
02:10 Look, there's only one thing different about these cards,
02:12 only one thing and it's on this side.
02:14 One card, one card is just a little bit different, just one.
02:19 Only one.
02:21 For the, you're nobody's even asking for the first time,
02:23 what was the card you thought of?
02:25 The thing, what?
02:27 Look, I don't even want to stretch it out, you're gonna take out the king of diamonds,
02:30 right from the middle, but don't flip it over yet.
02:31 Look, because in fact, you looked at one card and one card was in here.
02:35 The only red card, flip it over.
02:37 [Music]
03:03 First, like, I picked a card and the next thing you know, it's in the other deck.
03:06 I don't even know how it got there.
03:07 I didn't know anything, man.
03:08 I don't know man.
03:09 I didn't even know if it was my deck.
03:12 I don't even know, man.
03:13 Thank you so much, appreciate it.
03:14 Thank you so much.
03:15 Thanks.
03:16 [Music]
03:25 What's up, guys?
03:30 So you guys saw the explanation and now we're gonna go through the setup.
03:33 You're gonna need three decks of cards.
03:36 I know you're thinking three decks of cards, it's only two decks.
03:38 Well, we're gonna need three to set up those two.
03:39 So you're gonna go home, you're gonna get two red decks and one blue deck.
03:43 If you're already home, run to the store, get one more red deck and the blue deck.
03:48 These are regular decks of cards and I'm now gonna go through how to set each one of the
03:51 decks up.
03:52 So meet me at the table.
03:53 All right, so you went and got your two red decks and your one blue deck.
03:58 Hopefully they're bordered cards.
04:00 If you saw the explanation, then you know why I need them to be bordered cards.
04:04 Again, those are cards that have a white border on them.
04:07 Now these are brand new cards.
04:08 I'm gonna start from the beginning.
04:10 So if you open up your blue deck, if it's brand new, you'll find advertisement cards,
04:16 the jokers and the full deck in new deck order.
04:20 We'll start with the, just by removing this, I'm gonna go ahead and open up one of the
04:27 red decks.
04:28 All right, we'll open up this and same thing.
04:32 Remove the advertisement and the jokers.
04:36 We'll leave the red deck for, uh, out for a second for now.
04:39 I'm gonna put the blue deck away.
04:41 Just wanted to show you what to do with that.
04:42 Just remove.
04:43 And we're gonna start with the red deck because the first deck that we're gonna show the spectator
04:48 is gonna be the red deck.
04:49 So to get the cards in order, all we do is we up jog or out jog every other card.
04:57 For example, ace of spades on the bottom, two of spades on top, three of spades, four
05:00 of spades, five and so on and so forth.
05:02 So every other card is pushed upwards.
05:05 Now don't get ahead of me cause you're gonna stop in a second until you hit the king of
05:10 clubs.
05:11 Now instead of placing the king of clubs on the bottom, which would make sense if every
05:15 other card went down and up, you're gonna leave it on top.
05:18 So you should have the king of diamonds and the king of clubs jogged upwards.
05:22 The queen of clubs goes on the bottom and you're gonna continue like that.
05:25 So king of clubs still on top, queen of clubs, jack of clubs, ten of clubs.
05:28 And you're gonna go through the rest of the deck keeping one card out jogged.
05:44 All right so you've out jogged all the cards of course except for that uh that king of
05:49 clubs and the king of diamonds which are upwards.
05:51 You're gonna go ahead and you're gonna split the cards.
05:55 So you should have 26 cards and 26 cards.
06:00 Now here's the interesting thing with what we did.
06:05 We're now able to retain all the opposite cards from this side.
06:10 Both spades, diamonds, hearts and clubs.
06:13 Not just both blacks and reds.
06:15 But really all suits are now duplicated on this side.
06:19 So you have the ace of spades and this deck you'll have the ace of clubs.
06:22 We have the three of spades, you'll have the three of clubs on this side right.
06:27 Now I like to start with whatever packet you have that has the ace of diamonds.
06:31 In this case it's this packet.
06:32 So go through your cards, find the packet with the ace of diamonds and that's the deck
06:38 we're gonna use.
06:39 Or at least those 26.
06:42 Here's a pretty cool part.
06:43 Here's the setup.
06:45 You're actually just gonna shuffle and really mix these cards.
06:48 Because they should really be in a mixed up order.
06:53 Nothing set up in a real mixed up order.
06:57 Well that's a really good way to mix it up as well.
06:59 So you mix up the cards.
07:01 As a matter of fact because they were in order sometimes they won't even look too mixed up.
07:05 So you're gonna have to manually mix them up.
07:07 So let's see what we have here.
07:09 See for example here we have a lot of black cards.
07:11 So here we're gonna have to mix up a little bit better.
07:14 And once you've come to a packet of cards that you feel look messed up and look not
07:22 in order then that's the order we're gonna use.
07:26 So in this case.
07:28 Now I like the ace of diamonds because for the many years that I've been doing this trick
07:31 people just tend to choose the ace of diamonds when they see it.
07:34 Doesn't always happen.
07:35 Just happens to be.
07:36 It also, I also noticed that they happen to choose it when it's sandwiched between several
07:42 black cards.
07:43 So what I did was that now I manually do that.
07:46 So what I'll do is that I'll still keep most of my order.
07:49 But I'll keep the ace of diamonds about five cards down.
07:52 One, two, three, four, five.
07:54 And then the ace of diamonds are four.
07:55 You don't have to be exact.
07:57 I usually won't position it near a court card or any card with a picture.
08:01 Because I don't want them to choose that.
08:03 So I'll swap it here for this too.
08:05 And without making it very obvious you're just sandwiching it between several black
08:10 cards.
08:11 Yeah, so as you can see there.
08:14 Perfect.
08:15 So in this case I'm also going to switch the face card with the five of diamonds as in
08:22 the explanation I used the five of diamonds.
08:24 I just want you guys to follow exactly how I set up that card.
08:27 Again this card does not have to be the five of diamonds.
08:29 It can be whatever card you just happen to have there.
08:31 But let's just use the five of diamonds for now.
08:33 So I know that I'm on the right side because I'm on the ace of diamonds side.
08:38 And that ace of diamonds is placed five cards down.
08:41 So now that you have your order which for the most part looks messed up and looks without
08:47 order except for the ace of diamonds and the five of diamonds that I'm using.
08:52 I am now going to position these 26 to copy this.
08:57 Now you don't have the ace of spades in this deck.
08:58 But you do have the ace of clubs.
09:00 You don't have the ten of hearts.
09:01 But you do have the ten of diamonds.
09:02 So this is what I do very quickly.
09:03 I'm going to go through this.
09:05 I'm going to find the five of hearts which in a second we'll switch.
09:08 But for now I'm going to use the five of hearts.
09:09 I'm going to place it face down.
09:11 This way it's at the face of the deck.
09:13 And I'm going to go through this.
09:15 Get the eight.
09:16 Put it face down because I see the eight here.
09:18 I see the ten of diamonds.
09:20 I'm sorry.
09:21 I see the ten of hearts.
09:23 I look for the ten of diamonds.
09:24 I see the four of spades.
09:25 I look for the four of clubs.
09:27 I see the two of spades.
09:28 I look for the two of clubs.
09:29 I see the ace of diamonds.
09:30 Of course I look for the ace of hearts.
09:33 And I'm going to go through this.
09:34 We'll probably speed up through this but here it goes.
09:36 Ten of spades.
09:37 Ten of clubs.
09:38 Ace of clubs.
09:39 Ace of spades.
09:40 King of clubs.
09:41 King of spades.
09:43 Five of clubs.
09:44 We'll use the five.
09:46 The four.
09:47 I'll use the four.
09:48 The jack.
09:49 I'll use the jack.
09:51 The seven of diamonds.
09:52 I'll use the seven of hearts.
09:53 The two of hearts.
09:54 I'll use the two of diamonds.
09:56 The queen of hearts.
09:57 I'll use the queen of diamonds.
09:59 And the nine.
10:00 We've got the queen.
10:02 We've got the seven.
10:04 We have the six.
10:05 We have the jack.
10:06 We have the six.
10:07 The eight.
10:08 The three.
10:09 The nine.
10:10 The three and the king.
10:14 Alright so now I've made the order of this.
10:17 If I spread these out you'll notice the five of diamonds, the five of hearts, the ace of
10:22 spades, the eight of clubs, the ten of hearts, the ten of diamonds all the way through.
10:28 And if I take this and I take this all I now have to do is place this face down, put that
10:34 face up.
10:35 Now here's a cool tip.
10:36 At the beginning if you look here on the side you'll notice that there's a difference in
10:42 color and that's because they haven't been used to each other.
10:47 So I would recommend to use the cards like this for some time to mess with them.
10:52 If you can spring, spring the cards.
10:55 Use these cards this way so they begin to look and get dirty at the same time.
11:00 This way they mesh a lot better.
11:02 Okay?
11:03 Now your deck, your red deck is set up.
11:06 I'm going to always leave the side with the ace of diamonds.
11:09 Remember just spread a couple you'll see the ace of diamonds.
11:10 You know you're on the right side.
11:12 I usually leave this face up coming from the bottom of the deck, of the box and I close
11:19 it from here.
11:20 So that when I open I can come out with the cards this way with the ace of diamonds.
11:28 So we've now made the first deck.
11:32 Alright so we finished the first deck.
11:34 As a matter of fact I'm just going to say we're going to actually need the 26 cards
11:39 because this is going to be the staple order that you're going to be using.
11:42 So I'm going to remove again using the side with the ace of diamonds.
11:45 These are the cards that we're going to duplicate.
11:48 The rest we're going to leave in the box for now until we can set up the other red deck.
11:56 So in this deck really again you can just remove the advertisement cards and the jokers
12:04 and what I'm going to do is I'm going to look for the cards that I've set up here.
12:11 Now it's pretty easy because the cards are in order.
12:13 So five of diamonds, I'm going to look for the five of diamonds.
12:15 Now before we were placing them face down.
12:18 Now I'm going to ask you to leave them face up.
12:19 I'll show you why.
12:21 Because we actually want them in reverse order.
12:24 So that's the five of diamonds.
12:25 Now in this case we are actually looking for the actual exact card.
12:29 We're not looking for the mate.
12:30 So I'm actually saying ace of spades, ace of spades, ten of hearts, I'm going to look
12:34 for the ten of hearts and so on and so forth.
12:37 Four of spades, I'm going to look for the four of spades because I see it in my order
12:40 here.
12:41 The two of spades, I'm going to look for the two of spades.
12:43 The ace of diamonds, I'm going to look for the ace of diamonds.
12:45 The ten of spades, same thing.
12:47 Ace of clubs, same thing.
12:50 With the king of clubs, five of clubs, four of hearts, jack of clubs, seven of diamonds,
13:01 two of hearts, queen of hearts, nine of clubs, queen of spades, seven of clubs, six of hearts,
13:15 jack of diamonds, six of spades, eight of hearts, three of clubs, the nine of diamonds,
13:26 and the three of diamonds, and of course the king of diamonds.
13:31 So now I've duplicated my order, the order I'm using, in a reversed order.
13:38 Meaning that the top card here is at the bottom here and the top card here is at the bottom
13:42 here.
13:44 And that's from the other red deck.
13:46 Remember we're using two red decks.
13:48 So I opened up a new one, found my original order, and I put them in a reversed order.
13:56 This is going to make the bottom part of your blue deck.
14:00 The rest of your red cards, these for now are going to be toss away cards.
14:03 That means we won't use these.
14:04 We can actually use them to make another juxtaposition later on, but for now we don't use them.
14:10 So now I have the duplication of my order.
14:12 I'm going to leave this to the side so we don't get confused.
14:16 Now the blue deck, a full blue deck.
14:19 I've already removed the jokers and advertisement cards from this deck, but I'm going to do
14:23 the same thing.
14:24 In this case it doesn't really matter, we just need to separate both packets.
14:29 We need these cards to be away from this deck.
14:32 So I'm going to find the exact cards, five of diamonds, and I'm going to do the same
14:36 exact thing.
14:37 I know it's quite tedious, but you only got to do this once and you'll never have to do
14:42 it again.
14:43 You'll find the 10 of hearts, the four of spades, right?
14:48 Because I see the four of spades there, the two of spades, because the two of spades is
14:51 there.
14:52 The ace of diamonds, the 10 of spades, the ace of clubs, the king of clubs, the five
15:00 of clubs, the four of hearts, the jack of clubs, and so on and so forth.
15:07 Seven of diamonds, of course, the two of hearts, the queen of hearts, the nine of clubs, the
15:14 queen of spades, where is it?
15:17 Oh, there it goes.
15:18 The seven of clubs, the six of hearts, the jack of diamonds, and now we are almost done.
15:26 Jack of diamonds, six of spades, eight of hearts, three of clubs, nine of diamonds,
15:35 three of diamonds, king of diamonds, and it's right here.
15:41 Okay?
15:42 Now here's the interesting part.
15:43 These cards are the duplicates of my original setup.
15:47 All right, so now that we've removed from the blue deck all the cards that exactly match
15:55 my original setup, we're ready to rock.
15:58 These cards, you actually don't need.
16:01 Now I know we just removed them, but that's the point.
16:03 We wanted to remove them from this blue packet, right?
16:07 So I've taken out all the duplicates of my setup, and now this is going to be put away
16:12 with the other red cards that we put in the box.
16:14 All right, let's see if they go inside.
16:20 Perfect.
16:21 And you don't need this.
16:22 I'm going to put this away for good now.
16:27 Here we have in red the duplication of this.
16:30 Remember we did it in reverse order.
16:33 King of diamonds is at the top here, at the bottom there.
16:36 Five of diamonds at the top here, at the bottom there.
16:38 Now you're probably asking, "You have a five of hearts in here."
16:42 So this is the point where you're going to switch it out.
16:44 Now this is the red deck that belongs to the bottom of this.
16:48 We're going to remove that heart, and we're going to steal the five of diamonds from the
16:53 other red cards and place it on top.
16:58 You're just removing the five of hearts and replacing it with this five of diamonds.
17:04 Close up this.
17:07 Flip the whole damn thing over so you have the ace of diamonds on top, and you're ready
17:11 to rock with your red deck.
17:13 Now all you have to do with this is you have half reds, half blue.
17:16 You're just going to put them together.
17:19 The half red are duplicated of the red packet.
17:23 The blue are the exact opposites of the cards you're showing them, the exact opposites
17:27 of these.
17:28 You don't want any of these blue cards to match any of these, because since you're going
17:34 to have them take it out, you only want them to choose from this deck.
17:37 So these are all the opposite cards.
17:39 Ace of spades, I have the ace of clubs, and so on and so forth.
17:42 I usually like to mix this blue deck up so it looks a little mixed up since you just
17:46 had them in order.
17:48 So I like to mix them up.
17:49 It doesn't matter how much, just so they're a little mixed up.
17:52 And this goes to the bottom of the blue packet.
17:57 So half of them are blue, and half of them are red.
18:00 I'm going to just show you that for a second.
18:09 Now here's a cool little tip.
18:10 Remember that ace of diamonds, my key card on this side, the ace of diamonds?
18:17 Well I'm going to actually remove it from the reds, because I'm going to use that as
18:21 my calling card, or as my key card, to know that I'm going to touch reds.
18:25 So I'm going to go through all the cards until the last blue card.
18:28 I'm going to count one, two, three, and I'm going to place that ace of diamonds right
18:32 there.
18:34 I'll show you what this does.
18:35 It does two things.
18:36 The first thing it does is that when I'm spreading carefully, so that this doesn't spread, when
18:40 I'm spreading carefully through the deck, I want to know when the red cards are coming.
18:46 And once I see that one, even if I go a little bit, I'll still be safe.
18:50 And I want to know that I have to stop.
18:53 The spectator will also think that that's their card.
18:57 Now why ace of diamonds?
18:59 Well remember I said I like to use the ace of diamonds in the other deck, because people
19:02 usually choose it?
19:04 Well instead of having just any old calling card or key card, why not have it be a card
19:09 that's actually in that set, and actually a card that they may choose.
19:13 So if they were to say ace of diamonds, I would just have them take out the ace of diamonds
19:20 right from there.
19:21 But of course if you saw the explanation before, you know that you stop at the red card, you
19:28 say this is building suspense, and flip the whole thing over, and have them choose the
19:33 card.
19:33 [BLANK_AUDIO]
