00:02 - Hello everybody, my name's Jeff
00:17 and I'm gonna show you a little something
00:18 with a deck of cards.
00:19 Now this is not one of those phony baloney magician decks.
00:21 Every card is here and every card is different.
00:24 Now when you were younger,
00:25 did you always know what you wanted to be?
00:26 - Not every time.
00:27 - Not every time?
00:28 - When I was younger, it was really topsy-turvy,
00:30 but from like seven to nine,
00:31 I wanted to be an ice cream man,
00:33 garbage man, a mailman.
00:35 My parents didn't all like those.
00:36 But when I was like 10,
00:37 I wanted to be a doctor and my mom loved that.
00:40 But no one would trust a 10-year-old with a knife.
00:42 So I used a deck of cards as my patience.
00:45 Let's pick one.
00:45 Can you say stop as I go down?
00:47 - Stop.
00:48 - Right here?
00:48 All right, this is gonna be our patience.
00:49 In this case, the eight of spades.
00:51 But it doesn't have a name.
00:52 So can you write your name really big across the front?
00:55 I'll hold on to the deck.
00:57 (crowd chattering)
00:59 All right, Tom, that was perfect.
01:00 You can cap the pen and I will take that back.
01:03 And I'm gonna have you hold on to the deck
01:05 'cause we don't even need this for the rest.
01:06 Can you just hold on to it?
01:08 Perfect.
01:09 Now we have Tom's signature.
01:10 And Tom, have you ever had a broken bone?
01:12 - No.
01:14 - Has anyone here ever had a broken bone?
01:16 - My finger.
01:17 - Your finger?
01:18 So let's pretend this card is gonna have a broken finger,
01:20 unless you want it to have something else.
01:21 Is the finger okay?
01:22 - It's okay.
01:24 - Finger's okay?
01:25 Let's say this is a broken finger.
01:27 I'll rip it.
01:28 And you can actually see it's ripping, right?
01:29 That's a real tear.
01:30 And can you hold on to the broken finger?
01:32 So you can see the card's torn here.
01:34 You can see it's torn here.
01:35 It's not some kind of illusion.
01:36 And do you know how CPR works?
01:38 Operations?
01:40 That you need a dark space, right?
01:41 'Cause doctors like operating in the dark.
01:44 So look, I'm gonna use a dark space like my pocket
01:46 and I'm gonna put your card, the eight of spades,
01:48 inside my pocket all the way like that.
01:50 Now, actually, there's another dark space I'm gonna use.
01:53 All right, let's do this.
01:54 Instead of using my pocket,
01:55 look, I'm gonna fold the card up
01:57 so the missing corner is on the inside.
01:59 You can see that, right?
02:00 Missing corner's on the inside.
02:02 I'm gonna fold it like this.
02:03 And put your hand out, sir, and squeeze tight.
02:05 Now, who has the corner?
02:06 You?
02:07 Now we're gonna do some CPR, some operations.
02:09 Watch, let's touch fists.
02:11 And did you see what happened?
02:13 My corner disappeared.
02:14 Open your hand, open the card all the way up.
02:16 No way, maybe.
02:17 Is that?
02:20 (laughing)
02:23 What happened?
02:25 Thank you so much.
02:27 And this is a souvenir for you.
02:29 Thank you.
02:29 (dramatic music)
02:33 So I'm gonna show you something with a pack of cards.
02:41 It's kind of pretty strange.
02:42 52 cards in the deck, except there's not,
02:46 but don't worry about it.
02:47 I'm gonna get you to pick a card.
02:48 I think the fairest way is to run down the deck.
02:50 Just say stop.
02:51 Thank you, stop.
02:52 Right there, you happy with that one?
02:53 Yeah.
02:54 Okay, now what I'm gonna do,
02:54 I'm gonna double the seven of clubs.
02:56 That's a good card.
02:58 We're gonna personalize this card to you,
03:00 and we're gonna use a pen to do this, okay?
03:02 Now, what's gonna happen,
03:04 I'm gonna draw a cross on the card.
03:06 So I'm gonna draw a line there, and a line there.
03:09 Basically what I've done is I've basically
03:10 sectioned this card off into quarters.
03:12 And we're gonna make it completely unique.
03:14 So even if there were a million seven of clubs in the world,
03:16 this is the only one unique to you.
03:18 So take the pen, and what I want you to do
03:21 is just put your initials right here in this corner, okay?
03:24 Okay, TP.
03:26 And right here, what I want you to do
03:28 is I want you to put a number.
03:30 Any number you want to.
03:31 It can be a small number, a big number,
03:32 I don't really care.
03:33 But in this quarter here, I just want you to put a number.
03:36 Okay, 25, fantastic.
03:39 And in this quarter down here,
03:40 what I want you to do is I want you to put a simple shape.
03:43 Any shape you want to, but a simple shape.
03:45 A smiley face as well, awesome.
03:50 And in this quarter here, what I want you to do
03:52 is I want you to draw something simple.
03:54 Just do a simple drawing.
03:56 You haven't got space to do anything too elaborate,
03:58 but whatever you want to, something simple is fine.
03:59 - Okay.
04:00 - I know you're thinking about this, aren't you?
04:02 - Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
04:04 I cannot think of anything.
04:05 - It could be a house, or a stick man, or a cat, or a dog.
04:09 The other guy drew a car, which was pretty weird.
04:11 - I'll do a cat, why not, eh?
04:13 - And what an amazing drawing of a cat it is.
04:17 Not just a cat, but just the head of a cat.
04:19 We haven't even got a body right there, but that's fine.
04:22 But I'm sure you'll agree that there's no way
04:24 I could have known you would have wrote all that on here.
04:27 We're not gonna use the rest of the cards.
04:29 I've made this completely and totally unique to you, okay?
04:32 And what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna show you an illusion.
04:35 It's not a trick, it's an illusion.
04:37 I'm gonna take the card and I'm gonna bend
04:38 the corner back like this.
04:39 You tell me, is the corner bent back?
04:41 - Yeah.
04:42 - Yeah, it really is.
04:42 Some people say, oh, it's not really bent back.
04:44 You can see that that corner really is bent back.
04:46 Is that fair?
04:47 - Yeah, that's fair.
04:48 - That's fair, that's fair.
04:49 I'm gonna go one step further.
04:50 What I'm gonna do, not only am I gonna bend the corner back,
04:54 I'm actually gonna take it, I'm gonna tear the corner off,
04:56 which is a bit of a random thing to do.
04:58 But I'm gonna take the corner and I'm gonna tear it
05:01 right off like that.
05:02 Now you tell me, is that corner being torn right there?
05:05 - Yeah.
05:05 - You pull it off the rest of the way.
05:08 Is that fair?
05:08 - Yeah.
05:09 - So what we've got here, we've got a unique card
05:11 with all of that stuff written on that side
05:13 and the corner right there on the table, okay?
05:17 The reason I get you to draw all over the card
05:20 is because even if I fold the card up like this,
05:23 even if I fold the card up, you can still see your drawing
05:26 and you can still see the little smiley face.
05:29 Is that fair?
05:30 - Yeah.
05:31 - If I fold it up this way, you can still see the drawing
05:35 and you can still see the smiley face.
05:37 Is that fair?
05:38 - Yeah, okay, yeah.
05:38 - And I'm not gonna actually fold it up.
05:40 What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hold it like this.
05:43 I'm gonna show you something a little bit strange, okay?
05:45 But before I do, look, I'm gonna take the corner
05:48 and I'm gonna personalise that to you as well.
05:52 What's your initials? TP.
05:53 I'm gonna draw a T.
05:54 - Okay.
05:55 - Right there.
05:56 Is that fair?
05:57 - Yeah, okay.
05:58 - Okay, so we've got a situation
05:58 where you could have took any card.
06:00 You took the seven of clubs.
06:01 You could have put any drawing.
06:02 You put a cat, a smiley face, number 25, TP,
06:05 and there's your card.
06:06 We've never met before.
06:07 There's your card right there with your corner right there.
06:09 Now, this is something that hopefully you'll remember
06:11 for the rest of your life.
06:12 And I'm gonna do this really slowly.
06:14 I want you to watch.
06:15 You see the corner?
06:16 - Yeah.
06:17 - You see the card?
06:18 - Yeah.
06:19 - I'm gonna do this right here at the tips of the fingers.
06:21 I'm just gonna rub the corner against the card.
06:25 Just gonna rub it next to the card.
06:27 And I'm gonna try this.
06:27 Watch this.
06:28 Did you see it happen?
06:31 - Okay.
06:33 (laughing)
06:35 That's funny.
06:36 - Isn't that nuts?
06:37 I've actually fused the corner right there onto the card.
06:41 But the weird thing is, and I want you to see this.
06:42 Look at this.
06:43 It's still got your initial right there.
06:45 It's still got your T on that side.
06:48 Right there's the T.
06:49 Right there on the other side is all the stuff
06:50 that you've drawn on there.
06:52 I want you to examine that.
06:53 Is that really fused back on there?
06:56 Is that really fused back on?
06:58 - That is genuinely on there.
06:59 - It's not like it's sellotape or Superbrew
07:01 or something like that.
07:02 That's genuinely on there.
07:03 And you know what?
07:04 What I want you to do is keep that as a souvenir.
07:07 And you can always remember this.
07:08 And ponder about it.
07:10 And I know you will.
07:10 You're gonna take that home and you're gonna be like,
07:12 I know it comes off so and so.
07:13 I just haven't got a clue how.
07:15 - Yeah, that's good.
07:17 - Thanks very much.
07:18 Well, thanks for helping me.
07:19 I really appreciate that.
07:20 - Hey guys, my name is Jeff Price and welcome to Fuse.
07:33 I wanna personally thank you for buying it.
07:35 And if you downloaded it illegally,
07:36 I still wanna personally thank you
07:38 for downloading it illegally.
07:40 So anyway, Fuse is a trick
07:42 I've been doing for a very long time.
07:44 It's served me well for a long time.
07:45 And I think it will do the same for you
07:47 if you give it the practice that it deserves.
07:49 So let's step into Fuse.
07:52 - Okay guys, so I'm here with the one and only Jeff Price.
08:05 Say hello, Jeff.
08:06 - Hello everyone.
08:07 - And if you don't know Jeff,
08:10 then where have you been living?
08:11 What rock have you been living under?
08:12 Jeff is one of the most creative young minds in magic.
08:16 I've said it before, I'll say it again.
08:17 He's responsible for some absolutely super cool stuff.
08:20 And we are honored at Wizard FX Productions
08:23 to be handling his latest release, Fuse.
08:27 Jeff, tell me a little bit about this.
08:28 How did you come up with the idea for Fuse?
08:31 - Oh, it's not my idea.
08:32 I stole it from another magician.
08:33 (laughing)
08:36 - I told you not to say that.
08:38 - No, I'm just kidding.
08:38 I've been doing a torn and restored corner
08:40 for a very, very long time.
08:42 And it was a decent torn and restored corner.
08:44 However, I added this one touch to it
08:46 that actually made it a step above
08:48 the torn and restored corner I did before.
08:50 - And what was the touch?
08:51 - The touch was that a new move allows me to show
08:53 the front and back of the card before, after,
08:56 and during the tearing process.
08:58 - Yeah, and that's the thing that's really clever.
09:00 You've seen the performance footage.
09:02 That is just so clever.
09:03 Like torn and restored has been done before,
09:06 but the fact that you can tear the corner off--
09:08 - I didn't create the torn and restored card.
09:09 - Oh yeah.
09:10 - No, you didn't.
09:11 - No, you didn't.
09:12 - Oh.
09:13 - No, no, no, no.
09:13 - That's a disappointment.
09:14 - It's been around for a while.
09:15 - Oh.
09:16 - But what you did do, the corner thing is just genius.
09:19 Where you tear that corner off
09:20 and suddenly everybody can see both sides.
09:23 It's brilliant.
09:24 - Yeah, it's a fun move.
09:25 It's just really clean.
09:27 Looks good.
09:27 - So how'd you come up with it?
09:28 - How did I actually come up with it?
09:30 - Yeah.
09:31 - A lot of practicing in the mirror.
09:32 - Yeah.
09:33 - And, you know, failure.
09:34 - A lot of failure.
09:35 - Yeah, it didn't look good at first, I'll tell you.
09:37 - But eventually success.
09:38 - Yeah.
09:39 - So what we're gonna do on this DVD
09:40 is we're gonna be talking about,
09:42 there's gonna be a bit of a setup to this.
09:43 Not much of a setup,
09:44 but we're gonna be talking about the setup.
09:46 Then we're gonna be looking at Geoff's original routine.
09:49 And then we're gonna be talking about
09:50 a whole bunch of bonus ideas and add-ons
09:52 and things that can really take it to a new level.
09:55 So it doesn't matter where you perform
09:57 or what type of magic you do.
09:59 I'm sure that there's gonna be an idea
10:00 in this kind of bonus section
10:02 that's gonna enable you to take Geoff's original concept
10:06 of Fuse and just run away with it
10:08 and play with it yourself.
10:09 And I think you guys are gonna have a brilliant time.
10:11 So, should we get on with it?
10:13 - Yeah, let's get started.
10:14 - Let's do it.
10:14 (dramatic music)
10:18 Okay, so now we're gonna look at the setup for the routine.
10:27 Is that right?
10:27 - Indeed it is.
10:28 - And as paper crane moments go, it's not exactly epic.
10:32 - No, it's a really quick setup if you get it down
10:34 and you don't have to peel off this tape,
10:37 which is a bummer.
10:38 But we'll talk about that later.
10:39 It can take like 10, 20 seconds.
10:42 - And there's a story behind the tape?
10:43 - There is a story behind the tape.
10:44 One of the props you're gonna need
10:46 is removable double-sided tape.
10:48 You don't want permanent double-sided tape.
10:50 And you used to be able to buy that very, very easily.
10:53 So I went to Walgreens, then I went to Office Max,
10:56 Office Depot, Staples, Walmart, and Target
10:58 looking for removable.
11:01 They have the permanent, but I want removable.
11:03 So finally, at the last store, which was Target,
11:06 I looked at what poster tape was.
11:08 And right on the back, on the thing that sticks out
11:09 to hang it, it says, "Scotch removable double-sided tape."
11:13 - Right, so it was in every single--
11:14 - They had it at every store.
11:16 So you can either get the Scotch removable double-sided tape,
11:19 Scotch poster tape, just look around
11:22 because I made a mistake there.
11:24 - Fair enough.
11:25 So save yourself some miles and listen to Jeff,
11:27 is what he's saying.
11:28 Okay, so you've got two eights.
11:29 You need a couple of dupes, is that right?
11:31 - Yeah, you need one pair of duplicates,
11:32 two eight of spades.
11:33 I don't like to use a court card,
11:35 just a personal preference.
11:37 - Okay, right, no problem.
11:38 - But so eight of spades, doesn't matter.
11:41 This is just the card I have lying around.
11:42 - Okay, and you're gonna show us what the prep is now?
11:44 - Yeah.
11:45 - Okay.
11:46 - You're gonna take--
11:46 - Does Dave need to get in close?
11:47 - Yeah, come in close, come in close.
11:48 - So what does he need to do?
11:49 - Get off the sticks, Dave.
11:50 - Ah, there we go.
11:52 - He was waiting, he was sitting there
11:53 waiting for you to say that.
11:54 - I don't know how to respond otherwise.
11:56 Let's have a look at that tape first of all.
11:58 - All right, here's the Scotch poster tape.
12:00 I don't have any removable tape on me
12:02 'cause I went to every store in America.
12:04 - Right, okay.
12:05 All right, now you're gonna rip off a size just this big.
12:08 It's not very big, you can see that?
12:10 - Yeah, I can see that, yeah, not too big.
12:13 - All right, and it doesn't,
12:14 the size isn't the most important aspect
12:15 and you're just gonna stick it right
12:17 to the center of the card.
12:18 - Okay.
12:19 - The face of one of the duplicates.
12:21 Press down.
12:22 - That's it.
12:23 - That's the, right, okay, no problem.
12:24 - That's not the whole setup, but yeah.
12:26 Now what you're gonna have to do is peel the top layer off.
12:29 Now you don't have to do this
12:30 with the normal removable double-sided tape.
12:32 However, with this poster tape, you're gonna have to.
12:34 So this takes me like five minutes,
12:36 which is the problem here.
12:37 So I'm gonna use my thumb.
12:39 - So this is why it's better
12:40 to get the removable double-sided tape.
12:41 - Yeah, and I wish I found it, but I'm just about there.
12:45 So yeah, this is the only, oh, I missed.
12:47 This is the only real downside of this new tape.
12:51 'Cause it's a little ridiculous.
12:53 - There you go.
12:54 - Yeah, I got it.
12:55 No worries, once you've been doing it every day for,
12:57 you can get it.
12:58 So you can see how big it is there.
12:59 I hope it gives a little glare.
13:01 - Yeah, you got it.
13:02 - All right, perfect.
13:03 Now with the pad of my finger,
13:04 I'm gonna remove some of the stickiness.
13:07 You can pat it on the ground.
13:08 You can pat it on someone's hair.
13:09 It doesn't matter.
13:10 Just remove some of the stickiness.
13:10 - On someone's hair?
13:12 - Well, I'm just kidding.
13:13 - What happens if they haven't got any hair?
13:15 - Do you know anyone?
13:17 (laughing)
13:17 - Yeah, one or two.
13:19 - I was thinking, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:21 Well, pat it on the ground.
13:21 Get some of the stickiness out.
13:24 Now you're gonna put these two cards together
13:26 and stick 'em.
13:27 Now, as you can see, the eight of spades
13:28 is perfectly symmetrical.
13:29 However, if it's a seven and there's a spade here
13:31 and a spade here,
13:32 make sure they do align perfectly.
13:34 - Makes sense.
13:35 - So we'll stick these together.
13:38 So align 'em and stick.
13:39 - Okay, so that's the start of the setup
13:41 and now what happens now?
13:42 - That's the setup.
13:43 So now you're actually ready to perform.
13:45 - That's it?
13:45 - That's it.
13:46 - No splitting cards or anything?
13:47 - I was quite excited about having
13:49 like a paper crane moment finally
13:50 on a Wizard of X TV and DVD and that's it.
13:54 - Yeah, that's it.
13:55 - I thought you had to like split cards
13:56 and all sorts of them.
13:57 That's it?
13:58 - So you could set this up.
13:59 - That's so easy.
14:00 - So if you wanted to set up a whole bunch of these,
14:02 you could get two packs of cards,
14:03 farrow them together and make like 52 gaffes.
14:08 - You can use P-knuckle decks
14:09 and there's other adhesives you can use.
14:12 I prefer not to use the permanent,
14:13 but if you're in like a pickle
14:14 and you need to get this made,
14:17 you could get permanent double-sided tape,
14:18 you can get the removable glue stick from Scotch.
14:23 There's spray adhesive like by 3M
14:26 and everything of the sort.
14:27 This is the best option for me though.
14:30 - Okay, fantastic.
14:31 So that is the setup for Fuse.
14:34 - And wasn't that involved, was it?
14:35 - Wasn't involved at all, no, I'm shocked.
14:37 - I was disappointed.
14:37 - Yeah, yeah, I'm so disappointed about that,
14:39 but it doesn't matter because it makes it nice and easy
14:41 and now I think we're gonna go into the actual effect.
14:45 (dramatic music)
14:49 Okay, so Geoff, we've got a set up card.
14:57 What happens now?
14:58 - Well, you're gonna have to force the card.
14:59 We'll get into everything about that later.
15:01 Let's just go through the basic handling
15:02 and we'll go through the minor touches afterwards.
15:05 - Okay.
15:06 - So you're gonna have them sign the card.
15:08 I'll put Fuse on there, F-U-Z-E,
15:13 'cause that's what all the cool people do in videos.
15:15 - Yeah, they put the-
15:15 - They put the name of the trick on the card.
15:17 - Yeah, they do.
15:18 - As if that makes sense.
15:19 - Yeah, well, you know, why not?
15:21 Let's do it.
15:21 - Yeah, it's advertising
15:23 even though they already bought the DVD.
15:25 (laughing)
15:26 So you wanna make sure it's dry, blow on it.
15:29 And you're gonna pick a corner.
15:30 Now these ones, yeah, get in close, Dave,
15:32 but these ones are very, very similar.
15:34 There's no writing near any of the index corners.
15:37 If there are, just pick the one
15:39 with the least amount of writing.
15:40 If you really wanna be totally careful,
15:42 you can go, okay, sign the card like this,
15:44 cover up the indexes, or do something of the like.
15:48 - Okay.
15:49 - So now we're gonna get into the folding process.
15:51 You're gonna pick the index corner you want,
15:52 and I'm gonna do this exposed,
15:54 but you're gonna actually wanna fold it with the face
15:56 so it's toward the magician,
15:57 not toward the audience like I'm doing now.
16:00 - Okay.
16:01 - So you're gonna fold it inward, just like this.
16:03 It doesn't matter the size of the corner.
16:04 Don't make it too big, don't make it too small.
16:06 Experiment and you'll get it.
16:07 Now the reason I'm holding it up toward myself
16:09 is because you can actually see
16:11 the corner splitting right there.
16:12 - You can, but if you're holding it towards yourself--
16:14 - If you're holding it here, it looks great.
16:15 If you're holding it here, it still looks good.
16:17 They probably won't notice,
16:18 but you don't wanna go through that trouble.
16:20 - Yeah.
16:21 - You unfold the card, which will align the corners again,
16:24 flip it over, and then you're gonna fold it the other way.
16:27 So again, it's still toward the magician,
16:29 which will allow the corners to split like they will.
16:32 - That makes sense.
16:33 - You're gonna do it again.
16:34 - And at the same time, it looks fair
16:36 because she's showing it bending on both sides
16:38 and that kind of thing.
16:40 - Yeah, that looks really good.
16:41 - Now, on the second time when it's the back,
16:44 you're gonna do the secret move.
16:45 Now I usually cover the secret move with a question.
16:48 You can see that in the performance,
16:49 but this is what you're gonna do.
16:51 You're gonna tuck the corner of the signed card,
16:54 so the corner with the face,
16:56 and you're actually gonna tuck it in between the two cards.
16:59 So that's the secret method.
17:00 - So at the moment, the face, which is the table,
17:03 is where the spectators will be looking.
17:05 - Yeah.
17:06 - Right, okay.
17:07 - So, well, I'm holding it up toward like this.
17:09 - Yeah.
17:10 - And then this is the move.
17:11 So my thumb is gonna act like it's bending it backward,
17:13 but it's gonna contact the corners,
17:15 gonna move forward,
17:17 and you can see that the cards are starting to split.
17:19 And I'm holding with my thumb on the tape.
17:20 - I was about to say, you're applying pressure
17:22 with your thumb on the tape so that it doesn't come apart.
17:25 - Yeah, you're holding with the thumb
17:26 so the tape doesn't unstick,
17:28 and you come forward like that,
17:29 and you can notice that the corner
17:31 can actually fit right inside, just like that.
17:34 - Yeah, I can see that, yeah.
17:36 - So one more time.
17:37 We just bent it this way.
17:38 This is the second time bending it backward.
17:41 We come here, and I ask a question,
17:43 and I continue folding it backward.
17:44 - Can you do that again to the camera
17:46 so the camera can see what it's meant to look like?
17:48 - What it's meant to look like?
17:49 - Yeah.
17:50 - All right. - Yeah, so coming up.
17:51 - So I'm here.
17:51 I say, well, I'll start here.
17:53 The second time I fold it here.
17:54 Then I'll ask a question like, have you ever done this?
17:56 And as I'm folding it backward, I do the secret move.
17:59 - That's so fair.
18:00 - Nothing.
18:01 - That's great.
18:02 - If they're not looking for it, they won't catch it.
18:04 If they're looking for it,
18:05 they might catch a minor fiddle touch,
18:08 but it's really no big deal.
18:10 Ask a question to misdirect.
18:11 - So, right, okay, so what do you do now?
18:13 - Now I'm gonna flip over the card end for end.
18:16 Now you're not gonna do an end for end
18:17 where you expose this.
18:19 This is gonna be bad to expose,
18:20 'cause you can obviously see--
18:21 - Yeah, you can actually see, yeah.
18:22 - That it's double.
18:23 So you wanna always go with the end that's closed.
18:26 So this.
18:27 And I leave the corner bent backward,
18:28 so they can actually see it's the same.
18:29 - And now the corner is covering that area there,
18:32 so they can't see anything.
18:33 - Yeah, 'cause this, this actually looks good,
18:36 'cause that's the same card.
18:37 - Yeah.
18:37 - But it's covering everything.
18:38 I unbend it, and I start to rip.
18:40 Now I could start to rip on the front,
18:43 but as you can see, that's not a perfect illusion.
18:45 - It's not.
18:46 - So I start ripping on the back.
18:48 - So the back is towards the audience.
18:49 - The back is toward the audience.
18:50 And again, I'm applying pressure here.
18:52 - Yeah.
18:53 - Once I'm about halfway done,
18:54 a little more than halfway done,
18:55 now the illusion, for some reason,
18:58 gets really, really good.
18:59 - Yeah, because you've started to tear it,
19:01 you can't see, it looks brilliant.
19:03 - Like you can actually see it tearing away from the front.
19:05 You can let the spectators finish it, doesn't matter.
19:07 Here.
19:08 So you finish ripping off the corner.
19:10 - That just looks amazing.
19:11 - Now remember, the real corner, though,
19:13 is tucked in between those two cards.
19:15 - Yeah.
19:16 - All right, so you're here.
19:18 Now this is, again, you can show both sides,
19:19 and you don't wanna overdo it,
19:21 'cause magicians tend to do that.
19:22 Oh, I can show both sides, and they do this 48 times.
19:24 - Yeah.
19:25 - Or twice.
19:26 And again, I'm flipping it over end for end,
19:28 so this side, the closed side,
19:29 always goes to the audience.
19:31 - Yeah.
19:32 - Now, there's a few things you can do.
19:34 I'm gonna show you the handling that I'm gonna use,
19:36 which goes in the pocket.
19:38 Now, there's other handlings
19:39 that we're gonna discuss later
19:41 that are equally as good or better,
19:43 according to some people.
19:44 This is just my preferred handling.
19:45 - This is the easiest one.
19:46 - This is the easiest one.
19:48 - This is super easy.
19:49 You don't need to worry about any palming
19:50 or anything like that.
19:51 - And it makes sense in the performance
19:53 that you can check out.
19:54 - So this card goes in your pocket.
19:56 I'm gonna stand up for just a second.
19:58 - Okay, I'm gonna stay sat down, 'cause I'm lazy.
20:00 - So this card goes in your pocket.
20:02 You wanna make sure your pocket's decently empty.
20:04 You don't wanna stuff it with everything you got.
20:06 And you fairly, fairly put it in your pocket.
20:08 Now, this is what's gonna happen inside your pocket.
20:10 Your thumb is gonna reach into that corner
20:13 so you can easily separate the cards, just like that.
20:16 And you're just gonna unstick
20:17 the two cards in your pocket.
20:18 - Yeah.
20:19 - So I'm just gonna do it outside my pocket.
20:20 I just reach in, and I unstuck the cards.
20:22 And the double-sided tape should stay on
20:25 to the card that's actually torn.
20:28 - Right.
20:28 - So that's in my pocket.
20:29 I do that, and I pull it out.
20:31 And I say, "Actually, I'll put this in your hand."
20:33 - So what's your justification for going in your pocket?
20:35 - Well, in the context of the routine that I do,
20:37 I say, "I need a dark space to operate on the card."
20:40 And I say, "Well, we'll use my pocket."
20:41 I can make a joke, "Let's use your pocket.
20:43 "I won't reach in there."
20:44 You know.
20:45 So you go into my pocket.
20:46 I'll do it, well, you don't go into my.
20:48 I go into my pocket, and I do it.
20:49 And then I bring it out.
20:50 I say, "Oh, no, I have a better idea, off-the-cuff idea.
20:53 "Let's put it in your hands."
20:55 But if you don't like this,
20:56 we will teach other handlings later.
20:58 So now, you're really done, for the most part.
21:01 - Yeah, because it looks still torn,
21:03 but obviously, it's just bent back behind it.
21:04 - Yeah, the corner's right here.
21:05 You don't want, you can't show it on both sides anymore.
21:08 - But you don't need to,
21:09 because you just have a second to go.
21:10 - So now, what you can do is,
21:12 I'm gonna fold the card up.
21:13 I fold it so the missing corner is here,
21:17 so the back's toward the audience.
21:18 - Show that to the camera.
21:19 - You can see it from this way.
21:21 - Yeah.
21:22 - I do a move where I say,
21:23 you can still see the corner's missing.
21:24 My thumb is just holding down here,
21:26 and I show like this.
21:27 - Yeah.
21:28 - And now, I'm gonna fold it
21:29 so the missing corner's on the inside.
21:30 And all I'm doing is I'm unfolding the corner.
21:33 - Okay.
21:34 - I mean, if you can't do that, I don't know what.
21:36 - Get out of magic.
21:37 - Yeah, for real.
21:38 So you just unfold the corner
21:39 as you continue to fold this, just like so.
21:42 - And that can then go into their hands.
21:44 - This can go right into their hands.
21:45 - You've just shown the corner missing.
21:47 - Yeah, and there it can hold onto this corner
21:50 the whole time, which is another totally cool thing.
21:52 The corner, this corner matches
21:54 'cause it's the same torn one.
21:57 So you're here, do a false transfer.
21:59 - Okay, you wanna go through the false transfer
22:00 you're using there?
22:01 - Yeah, it's the simplest one you can do.
22:03 Goes right on the base of the fingers.
22:05 If you curl inward, it will go right into finger palm.
22:08 Just like that.
22:09 - Okay, so as you're taking it into finger palm,
22:11 you're pretending to put it into the other hand,
22:13 which is closing as if it contains the corner.
22:16 - Yeah, it's a standard coin vanish, obviously,
22:18 just with the corner.
22:20 So it's very, very simple.
22:21 Anything will work, you can,
22:22 we'll go through other handlings,
22:23 but any type of vanish will work.
22:26 This hand just goes to my side, I tap fists,
22:29 show this hand empty.
22:30 - Okay.
22:31 - I tell them, open their hand.
22:33 - You're gonna have to do this for me, Geoff,
22:34 'cause I'm holding a mic.
22:36 - I'm gonna put this down for just a second,
22:38 'cause the spectators would be doing this,
22:40 and they actually can see
22:40 that the corner is totally restored.
22:42 - And it looks like it's gone back on
22:44 because you've got that bend there
22:45 from when you were-- - Yeah, there's a bend there,
22:47 and it just, like they--
22:48 - It's fused back on.
22:50 - It is fused back on.
22:51 - And the best thing is, it's totally examinable.
22:53 - Totally examinable, hand it out, hands are empty.
22:55 Now, well, hands aren't empty, 'cause you have this palm,
22:57 just ditch this at an opportune moment.
22:59 - Well, there's no heat on your hand at all.
23:01 - Yeah, the heat's on the card,
23:02 but you don't have to, you know,
23:03 you don't have to be like, okay, Craig,
23:04 open your hand and dive into your pocket.
23:05 - No. - That's something
23:06 you don't wanna do.
23:07 - Well, you know, you're running without being chased.
23:09 - Yeah, so just drop this,
23:10 and drop your hand to your side, let it hang,
23:12 and then after they're reacting,
23:13 just casually slip your hands in your pocket, ditch this.
23:17 - I love this trick.
23:18 I absolutely love this trick.
23:19 This is so cool.
23:20 The first time I saw you do it,
23:21 I said, this is absolutely brilliant.
23:23 But there's lots of other ways you can do it.
23:25 - Yeah, tons of ways we can do it.
23:26 - Lots of bonuses, lots of different alternate handlings,
23:29 and I think what we're gonna do
23:30 is we're gonna get into that right now.
23:32 (dramatic music)
23:36 (dramatic music)
23:38 Okay, so you've learned the basic handling,
23:43 but there is so much that you can do with this,
23:45 and what me and Jeff wanted to do now
23:47 is sit down and basically talk about
23:48 all the different bonus ways of doing the routine.
23:51 Is that right, Jeff?
23:52 - Yeah, there's a ton of things that we came up with,
23:53 and they make the trick a lot better
23:55 if you decide to use them.
23:56 - Now, the first thing that we're gonna look at,
23:58 and I think one of the weak parts of the routine,
24:00 the only weak part of the routine,
24:02 is the trip into the pocket,
24:03 because the problem is Jeff's presentation
24:05 covers that completely when he talks about CPR
24:08 and his presentation about being a doctor
24:10 and he's gonna operate in a dark room.
24:13 That works for you,
24:14 but I can imagine it not working for a lot of people.
24:16 - Yeah, for people who are maybe a little bit older.
24:18 - Exactly, and without that presentation,
24:20 the justification is kind of missing.
24:21 Now, what we've done is we've put together this thing
24:25 that will justify the trip to the pocket
24:27 and also makes the effect a lot stronger, in my opinion.
24:29 - Yeah, and who created this?
24:31 - This was a genius by the name of, who was it, Dave?
24:35 - Craig Petty.
24:36 - Craig Petty, that's, oh, it was me, that's right, yeah.
24:39 - This is great.
24:40 This is a way that you can actually rip off the corner,
24:43 put your initials on the back of it,
24:45 and then restore it to the card.
24:47 Now, if you know the initials of the person
24:49 that you're gonna be performing for,
24:51 well, that's a different story and you can do it for them.
24:53 - Yeah, so if you work in a restaurant
24:54 and you know the maitre d'
24:57 and you know which table you're going up to,
24:58 you can say, okay, can you give me the name
25:00 of someone on the table?
25:01 You can get their initials
25:03 and you can prep it for that particular table,
25:04 but to be honest, if you wanna just do it
25:06 with your own initials, it's fine,
25:07 because the presentation would work with you saying to them,
25:10 can you sign the card?
25:11 Oh, I'm gonna sign the corner, so it's fine.
25:12 - If they already signed the card,
25:13 they don't need to sign the whole world, for God's sakes.
25:15 - Yeah.
25:17 Like that.
25:18 So you've got the gimmick made up.
25:19 - So, well, I just unstuck the gimmick,
25:21 so we have the double-sided tape right here,
25:23 and we have the normal card right here, the duplicate.
25:26 So on one of the cards, the back of the card
25:29 without the double-sided tape,
25:30 on one of the index corners,
25:32 you're gonna write your own initials.
25:33 - Okay. - So I'm gonna do JP for this.
25:35 - That's the one with the tape, this is without tape.
25:37 - This is without the tape.
25:38 So just in the index corner right here,
25:41 I'm just gonna put a JP.
25:42 And you wanna make sure you can do that similarly
25:44 every time, you're not gonna do cursive one
25:46 and print the other.
25:48 - Yeah.
25:49 - And wait 'til this dries.
25:50 If it doesn't dry, it's gonna get onto this card,
25:52 which isn't a huge deal anyway.
25:53 Now, the thing is, this is something
25:55 that I wasn't doing for a while,
25:57 and it was a big mistake.
25:58 You're actually gonna have to mark the corner
26:00 that you put the signature on top.
26:01 - Yeah, of course, so you know where it is.
26:03 - So we're not gonna have a, I use a pencil dot,
26:06 but since we don't have a pencil,
26:07 and it's not gonna show up on camera,
26:09 I'm just gonna put a mark right here.
26:11 - Okay.
26:12 - I'm not gonna put it on the corner
26:12 that they're gonna be holding,
26:13 'cause they might notice something.
26:15 - Yeah. - So I put it
26:16 on the opposite corner.
26:17 - Okay.
26:18 - Just like that, so non-index corner.
26:21 Now you're ready to perform.
26:22 So they sign the card.
26:24 Craig, what should we put on the card?
26:26 - Let's put Cosmo.
26:30 - Cosmo? - Yeah.
26:31 - Our best friend in the world.
26:32 - Yeah, we love Cosmo.
26:33 - That sounded really sarcastic.
26:35 - It did a bit. - No, Cosmo's my best friend.
26:36 - Yeah, we love Cosmo.
26:37 - Okay, so,
26:41 blow on that,
26:43 and I'm not gonna go through the move, obviously.
26:46 - Yeah, you've already done that.
26:47 - Yeah, I don't wanna beat,
26:48 oh, I folded the wrong corner.
26:51 Go figure.
26:52 Go figure, I folded wrong after I marked it.
26:54 Okay, so pretend that's not there,
26:56 because this is just for explanation purposes.
26:58 - Yeah, it's all good, it's all good.
26:59 - If you do that in a performance,
27:01 I think you just run away, right?
27:02 - Yeah. - In relation to the mark,
27:04 which corner do you have to,
27:05 oh, that one.
27:06 - Yeah, i.e. not the end of the card that's not marked.
27:10 - Can I suggest that you mark the corner,
27:12 so that doesn't happen?
27:13 - Well, you don't wanna mark the corner,
27:14 'cause you're gonna give it to them.
27:15 You wanna mark the same, the top or the bottom.
27:17 - That's being sarcastic, 'cause you did actually mark it,
27:19 but you still screwed up.
27:20 - Yeah, oh, thank you.
27:22 I blame Craig, 'cause I was distracted.
27:24 - I always blame Craig as well.
27:25 - Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the good rule in life,
27:28 blame Craig if anything goes wrong.
27:29 - Go for it, here we go.
27:30 - So I'm so sorry,
27:33 but so we're gonna fold this corner down.
27:35 Now, the cool thing about this
27:38 is as you're tearing the corner,
27:39 the corner that gets hidden is never actually exposed.
27:42 - Yeah.
27:42 - Well, the front of the card is, but the back isn't.
27:44 So when you do the secret move, which is this,
27:47 that corner is never even seen.
27:49 - Tucking in the way, the one that's got the JP on.
27:52 - Yeah, so just like before, I rip off.
27:55 Let's actually get, oh, there we go.
27:57 Get a good rip, you show here, totally rip it off.
27:59 Again, pressing down on the center, show both sides.
28:02 Now, so this is the motivation.
28:04 You say, I need to sign the corner.
28:06 - Yeah.
28:07 - But, and the sharpie can be in your pocket again,
28:09 and you say, let me put the card away
28:10 so we only concentrate on the corner.
28:12 - Yeah, totally.
28:13 - And that totally justifies you going in the pocket.
28:15 - Yeah.
28:16 - And if you put it in so the signature is facing outward,
28:18 they're not gonna think you switched the card or anything.
28:21 - Not at all.
28:22 - So let's just say the pocket's right here.
28:24 - Yeah.
28:24 - And you're gonna put your initials on the corner.
28:26 I'll initial the corner, remember,
28:28 if you did their initials,
28:29 you do their initials on the corner.
28:31 It doesn't have to be perfect, a match, obviously.
28:34 - That's pretty close.
28:35 - Yeah, and they're only gonna see it
28:36 for like two or three seconds anyway.
28:37 - Yeah, and it is pretty, what can I say, I'm talented.
28:40 - And so modest as well, that's what I love about you.
28:44 - Yeah, very humble, very humble.
28:45 No, I'm just kidding.
28:46 So this goes in your pocket,
28:47 and you're gonna do the same thing as before.
28:49 Reach in here and unstick the cards, just like that.
28:51 - Yeah.
28:52 - And as you unstick 'em, you don't wanna go,
28:54 I forgot to explain this, you don't wanna do that.
28:56 - Okay.
28:57 - You don't wanna make a noise.
28:58 - Okay.
28:59 - Slide it down, sorta.
29:00 - Okay.
29:01 - Experiment and you'll totally get this.
29:01 This card is ditched.
29:03 Now, just like before, you can fold it up,
29:05 and I'll fold it up like this.
29:07 You show the missing corner,
29:09 and then you unfold the corner as you're folding it.
29:11 We already explained all this.
29:12 This goes in the spectator's hands.
29:14 - Yeah.
29:15 - Craig, can you do the honor?
29:16 - I will.
29:17 - You take the signed corner now,
29:18 do the same move as before, touch fists.
29:21 This hand's empty.
29:22 No way, open your hand, I'll take this.
29:24 We'll ditch the corner for right now.
29:25 - And look at this, look at this.
29:26 When you open up that, the first thing they see--
29:28 - They see the corner, the first thing.
29:29 - That's so good.
29:30 - They open it up, and that's their signature.
29:32 - That is so cool.
29:34 - Very good.
29:35 - God, I didn't realize how much of a genius I actually was.
29:38 It should be fused by Craig Petty
29:40 with special guest Jeff Pierce.
29:42 Price.
29:43 (laughing)
29:44 Sorry.
29:45 Love you, Jeff.
29:46 (laughing)
29:48 Okay.
29:49 - But there's so much more you can do with fused.
29:50 - There's so much more.
29:51 Now, although that completely justifies
29:53 the trip to the pocket,
29:55 there's certain people, David Penn, for example.
29:58 - And for a long time, it was me too.
30:00 - Yeah, who does it, yeah, because you had the same view
30:03 as Dave, didn't you, that you didn't like going
30:04 to the pocket?
30:05 - Yeah, but it does, I didn't think it,
30:07 in the end, I don't think it's a big deal,
30:08 but some people are gonna think, and we have a solution
30:11 for them.
30:12 - Yeah, Dave, yeah, yeah, yeah, we've got many solutions.
30:15 Now, the first solution is something that you came up with.
30:17 - Yeah, the first solution is folding the card.
30:19 - Okay.
30:20 - And this is the solution I did at first.
30:22 It's just a little, it's a little more difficult,
30:26 and it's, but some people will like it,
30:29 and I'm gonna shoot that off the floor.
30:30 - Yeah, I like how you did that.
30:31 - Yeah.
30:32 - You're talented.
30:33 - All right, so I have a green deck,
30:34 and this is what we're gonna do.
30:36 So remember, you force the card, we'll get into that later,
30:39 and you're gonna do the exact same thing.
30:41 Now, this is an idea by David Penn.
30:43 I haven't heard of that guy.
30:45 - No, no, no.
30:45 - He's a nobody from--
30:46 - He's a nobody, nobody.
30:47 - From like Kentucky or something.
30:49 - Yeah, Kentucky or something like that, I don't know.
30:50 - So here's a clever idea.
30:52 This is, again, something optional
30:53 to do in this kind of handling.
30:55 You draw a big plus.
30:57 - Okay, yeah.
30:58 - Four corners.
30:59 - And this was Dave's idea,
31:00 which is gonna justify the handling that you're coming up with.
31:02 - Which is gonna justify folding the card in just a second.
31:04 - Yeah.
31:05 - And you say, I need one person.
31:06 If you have four people, if you have two people,
31:08 they can each sign two boxes.
31:10 - Yeah.
31:11 - Diagonally.
31:12 - Well, what I like about this,
31:12 other than the fact that it justifies the folding
31:14 that's gonna happen in the minute,
31:15 the other thing that I like about it
31:16 is that it gets more people involved in the trick.
31:18 - It involves a ton of people.
31:20 So let's say there's only two people, though.
31:21 - Yeah.
31:22 - So just be like, okay, put your first initial over here,
31:24 so that would be a J, a poor J, and that would be a P.
31:27 - Yeah.
31:28 - You can do CP for quick petty.
31:29 - Cool.
31:30 - All right, so that's a signed card now,
31:32 'cause there's only one like that in the world.
31:34 So now you're gonna do the exact same thing
31:36 like you've been doing in Fuse the entire time.
31:38 - Yeah.
31:39 - I was watching this DVD,
31:42 I must get bored of watching me fold this over and over.
31:45 - Hey, it's gotta be done.
31:47 Gotta be done.
31:48 - It will be worth it after you see this.
31:49 So again, you just tuck the corner in,
31:51 just like that, while pressing down, rip off the corner.
31:54 - And even though you're using a different technique here,
31:57 if you wanted to, you still could do the sign corner thing.
32:01 - You can combine whatever you want.
32:02 It's kinda like a mix and match.
32:04 - Yeah.
32:05 - So you're here, and this is the motivation from Dave Penn.
32:09 So you're gonna fold the card and say,
32:11 "No matter how I fold the card,
32:12 "you're always gonna see at least one person's signature."
32:16 And so saying, as you fold this downward,
32:20 so the corner's closest toward you,
32:21 so this is what you see, this is what the exposed view,
32:24 or this is the exposed view,
32:25 this is what happens for the spectator.
32:28 You fold it down just like this,
32:30 so the signature's outward.
32:31 - Yep.
32:32 - Now what you're gonna do,
32:33 is you can actually see they're splitting.
32:35 You're gonna let the top layer go.
32:37 - Yep.
32:38 - And you're gonna unstick it.
32:39 - Okay.
32:40 - Just like that.
32:41 Now the tape, you can fix that, adjust it if need be,
32:43 but it usually will stick onto the card
32:45 that you put it on originally.
32:47 Then you say, "So no matter how I fold it."
32:48 So that's one way you fold it.
32:50 Now you're gonna fold it the other way, just like this,
32:53 making sure the corner is hidden.
32:54 And then again, I'm always putting this
32:56 towards the magician.
32:57 - Yep, yep.
32:58 - Just like this.
32:59 So now, when you open it again,
33:00 you just put the top layer back,
33:02 and you have a folded card right here.
33:04 - And while you've been folding,
33:05 that's why you've been saying,
33:07 "It doesn't matter how you fold this,
33:09 "it doesn't matter how I fold the card."
33:11 - A signature always is showing.
33:12 - Yeah, because they're seeing it from this side.
33:15 - Now a really nice touch, if you do this idea,
33:18 is you hand them the sharpie.
33:19 You never take it back.
33:21 So I say, "Sign the card."
33:22 Okay, no, you hold onto that.
33:24 - So the last person that signed the card,
33:25 the last signature on there was left with the pen.
33:28 - Yeah, and I don't take it back for the reason,
33:30 otherwise there's not gonna be a reason to ditch this,
33:32 and we want everything to be justified.
33:35 So they hold onto this in one hand,
33:37 the sharpie in the other.
33:38 I pick up the sharpie,
33:40 and I can either do this two ways.
33:41 I can first get the card into a finger palm,
33:44 let's call this.
33:45 I'm just holding it against my fingers.
33:47 I can take the sharpie and put this away.
33:50 You can do it, take the sharpie first,
33:52 have to switch hands.
33:53 - Yep. - That will do it.
33:54 So you just here.
33:55 - Let Dave see that from, so how are you taking it?
33:58 - So I'm here, this is toward the magician.
34:01 I say, "I'll take the sharpie back."
34:02 And I go with the dirty hand.
34:03 - So you're literally just pulling it into finger palm.
34:04 - Yeah, and I go with the dirty hand.
34:06 It's gonna be, that's a good way to show it's a clean hand,
34:09 even though it's not.
34:10 This goes in your pocket.
34:11 So that's another way to totally ditch the extra card.
34:14 - And then obviously you would then fold that up.
34:15 - Fold it up just like before.
34:16 You're here, you show the missing corner.
34:19 You've seen this a hundred times by now.
34:20 - Yeah. - You hear that goes
34:21 in the spectator's hands, touch, disappeared.
34:23 And when they open it, it's totally restored.
34:25 - Now you've got one other way of doing this
34:27 without having to go to the pocket, haven't you?
34:29 - And this makes sense in the terms of the presentation,
34:31 which you actually are gonna be using the deck.
34:34 Now, the thing is about a torn and restored corner.
34:36 You don't wanna tear the card off
34:38 and then without reason go back to the deck of cards.
34:41 - Yeah, and that's what I like about Fuse,
34:42 you never go back to the deck.
34:44 - You never go back.
34:45 But the thing is you start there the entire time.
34:47 - Yeah. - It makes total sense.
34:48 So for this, I'm gonna be using some green cards
34:51 and the gimmick, which is red.
34:52 - Okay, so it's contrasting.
34:54 In performance, you wouldn't do this.
34:56 - Well, I would.
34:57 - Would you?
34:58 - Well, yeah. - Really?
34:59 - No. - No, didn't think so.
35:00 I was about to say, what, you freak?
35:02 No, but we're using a red card with a green deck to--
35:04 - Just so you can see. - Yeah.
35:06 - So let's say they sign the card.
35:08 Let's have some fun.
35:09 What should we put on it?
35:11 - How about Criss Angel?
35:12 - Criss Angel?
35:13 All right.
35:15 'Cause me and Dave like his show.
35:16 Don't we, Dave?
35:17 - It was brilliant. - Yeah, it was really good.
35:19 - Yeah, we're-- - We didn't expect it to be good.
35:21 - Yeah, we thought it was gonna be pants,
35:22 but it was really good.
35:23 - Well, maybe they think we're in Britain right now.
35:25 - Yeah, they might do.
35:26 - Well, we're in Las Vegas, we should say that.
35:28 - We're not in Britain, we're in Las Vegas.
35:29 - Yeah. - Yeah.
35:30 Just so you know.
35:31 - Yeah, not that they care.
35:32 - They don't care.
35:33 They just wanna learn the trick.
35:34 - Yeah.
35:35 I don't know if I spelled his last name right,
35:36 but they sign the card.
35:38 Now you say, "I'm gonna teach you a gambling technique."
35:40 Now, have you ever seen any gambling techniques
35:43 that you can share?
35:44 - Yeah, one or two.
35:44 - You've seen one or two.
35:45 Do you know what the crimp is?
35:47 - No, tell me.
35:47 - It's a magazine by Jerry Saddwiff.
35:50 - That's my gag.
35:51 - Is it really?
35:52 - You stole that off me.
35:53 - Did I seriously?
35:54 - Yes.
35:55 All that off Dave.
35:56 (laughing)
35:58 - That's great.
35:58 - Yeah.
35:59 Don't worry, Dave doesn't mind having--
36:00 - Standing on the shoulders of giants.
36:01 - Yeah, Dave doesn't mind having stuff stolen off him.
36:03 - No, and he doesn't even deserve the credit.
36:05 - Yeah, exactly.
36:06 - So we do the same thing as before.
36:09 Now, I'm gonna teach you the easiest crimp that there is.
36:12 - Okay.
36:12 - It's called the tear.
36:13 - All right.
36:14 - Now, I'm gonna show you, so again--
36:15 - And that's the presentation you use,
36:16 which justifies the removal of the corner.
36:18 - Yeah, so you're saying this is a crimp.
36:20 They don't know what a crimp is, for the most part anyway.
36:22 - Yeah.
36:23 - So you say, "Okay, this is an easy crimp.
36:24 "I just did the move, obviously exposed.
36:27 "So this is a really easy version of the crimp.
36:30 "So now what this allows me to do,
36:31 "they can hold onto the corner."
36:32 - And if you read Braille,
36:34 you can tell that's the eight of spades.
36:36 - That's a great joke.
36:38 That's British humor.
36:40 You won't get that.
36:40 - I really don't.
36:41 - I'm sure I stole that.
36:42 - No, that was yours.
36:44 Oh, probably.
36:45 Oh yeah, that was mine.
36:46 So again, you can show both sides.
36:49 You don't have to do it end for end.
36:50 You can just go like this, casually.
36:52 So you put it in the middle of the deck.
36:55 - And the reason you're doing that
36:56 is you're saying to people,
36:57 "Now it's really easy to find."
36:58 - Yeah, now I can locate your card no matter what,
37:00 'cause it is a crimp.
37:01 Now you can square up the cards.
37:03 And you can even show them.
37:06 You don't wanna give them too good of a look
37:08 'cause they'll see something that shouldn't be there.
37:11 But that's a huge crimp.
37:14 So you're here and you say,
37:14 "Now no matter what I do, I can always find your card."
37:17 Turn the deck face up, cut to the card.
37:19 - Yeah.
37:20 - Ta-da, that's a crimp.
37:23 - And that's great because you see the other index.
37:25 - Yeah, definitely that's another view.
37:27 You don't have to do this again.
37:28 And now what you're gonna do
37:29 is you're gonna unstick the card.
37:31 So you're gonna lift up, peel back one layer.
37:33 So I'll do this like this.
37:34 Peel back one layer and start to unstick the cards.
37:38 Now you're gonna have to risk kill 'cause this is a bad.
37:40 - Yeah, they don't wanna see that.
37:41 That's a bad thing.
37:41 - So you unstick the cards, risk kill and put this down.
37:44 - If you did like a Hindu shuffle,
37:46 you know, and you said, "Even if I shuffle the cards."
37:47 - You can do an overhand while it's in here.
37:50 - Would that split, not a Hindu, what am I saying here?
37:53 You know, weave.
37:55 - A pharaoh.
37:55 - If you do a pharaoh, yeah, would that split it?
37:58 - There's a good chance that it will.
38:00 I don't do a pharaoh myself.
38:01 That's not a move that has come into my work.
38:03 But yes, that will split it, try it out.
38:06 This is just another easy, but good handling.
38:09 - I can do a perfect pharaoh shuffle every time.
38:12 - Every time?
38:13 - Every time.
38:14 - Okay, back to the D&D show off.
38:15 - Okay.
38:16 - Yeah, for real.
38:17 So again, risk kill.
38:18 Now what you don't wanna do is put this down
38:20 and slam your hand against it.
38:22 - Okay, 'cause it'll stick to the table.
38:23 - 'Cause then you're gonna get this effect.
38:24 (laughing)
38:26 And that's not good.
38:27 - That's not a good thing.
38:27 - So if you have the box, let's get the box.
38:29 Oh, I said flew the box across the table.
38:31 - Ah, whatever.
38:32 If you have the box, it doesn't matter.
38:33 Just, I'll put this lightly and you can see.
38:36 - Dave is now trying to hold the camera.
38:37 - Trying to get the box while keeping the card in shot.
38:40 There's the flying box trick.
38:41 - Okay, and watches the card flies off the table.
38:43 - That was impressive though how he got the box.
38:44 - Yeah, that was good.
38:45 So you wanna put this, so it's perpendicular.
38:49 Just like that.
38:50 - Or facing the other way.
38:51 - Facing the other way, yeah.
38:52 - Yeah.
38:53 - For people that aren't--
38:54 - Public school.
38:55 - Yeah, I can tell.
38:56 - So then you're here, then you go,
38:58 well, if you get a little more advanced,
39:00 the crimp doesn't have to be that big.
39:01 It doesn't have to be a full rip.
39:03 - Yeah.
39:04 - It can actually be just a crease.
39:05 So let me show you.
39:07 Go into the handling.
39:07 - And then you go into the handling.
39:08 - Yeah. - That's great.
39:09 - That's fantastic.
39:10 So, go on, sorry.
39:12 - So those are just a few ideas
39:13 that those are three different handlings
39:15 that you can ditch the extra duplicate card.
39:17 - Okay, so these--
39:18 - It's just a shame, you know,
39:20 there weren't ways to visually put that corner on there.
39:22 - Well, luckily, we've worked that out as well
39:24 and we were just about to get into ways
39:27 of visually putting the corner onto the card.
39:30 (dramatic music)
39:33 Okay, so we've looked at a whole bunch of bonus handlings.
39:42 We're gonna look into visual restorations now.
39:44 - Yeah, not only visual restorations,
39:45 just in general, other restorations,
39:47 'cause they're not all visual per se.
39:49 - Now, the thing with the visual restorations
39:51 is they look great on the trailer,
39:52 but I know that Geoff gets the best reactions
39:55 when it actually happens in the spectator's hand,
39:57 doesn't it? - They look great in person, too.
39:58 - Yeah.
39:59 - They don't only look good on camera.
40:00 - Yeah.
40:01 - That's your kind of magic, camera only.
40:03 - Yeah, I'm just a YouTube--
40:04 - Magic for YouTube.
40:05 - Magic for YouTube is what I specialize in.
40:06 - They do look good in person,
40:07 but my favorite, and that's why I teach it first,
40:10 is if you put something in the spectator's hands,
40:12 they get to open it themselves,
40:13 it's gonna get a much better reaction.
40:15 - Okay, well, let's--
40:16 - But I do know one person,
40:17 and we'll talk about this later,
40:19 that flash paper makes things five times as effective.
40:21 - Yeah. - Absolutely.
40:22 - That's what he says, yeah.
40:23 - Yeah. - Yeah.
40:24 - Good old Dave and his flash paper thing.
40:25 - Yeah. - We'll get to that.
40:26 - That's a smart concept.
40:27 - Flash paper philosophy.
40:29 - I'm gonna write a whole book on that.
40:30 (laughing)
40:32 - So, but we're gonna get into the easiest one first.
40:34 - Okay, the easiest one first.
40:35 - The most basic. - Well, first of all,
40:36 do it to the camera so they know what it looks like.
40:38 So hold it up so it's, there you go.
40:39 - So you're here, you show this,
40:41 this just went in your pocket,
40:43 it just went from the deck,
40:43 you just folded it up.
40:45 - Yeah. - Something of this sort.
40:45 - So it would look, if full performance,
40:47 would look like this.
40:47 - You take the two corners, you just touch them together,
40:50 and as you rub, it totally restores.
40:54 - That looks great. - That looks great.
40:55 Okay, so how do we do that?
40:56 - It's kind of self-working.
40:59 Touch the two corners where this one would meet,
41:01 and it's cool, it actually perfectly will match.
41:04 - Okay, yeah, of course it got torn.
41:06 - Yeah, so you're here, you put it behind the card,
41:09 your thumb grabs it, and here.
41:11 So I'll do this kind of exposed like this.
41:13 - Yeah, do it exposed like that.
41:14 - We'll try it like this, so you're here.
41:16 Now obviously these are gonna be different fingers,
41:18 but they pull it in just like that,
41:20 so it's behind the card now.
41:21 - Yeah. - At the same time,
41:22 this just comes up.
41:24 - Okay. - And that's all hidden
41:25 behind your hand. - Okay.
41:26 - So from the front, I'll explain what I'm doing
41:29 as I do it.
41:30 I put the card, the corner now is behind the card,
41:32 I lever this corner up, and I show here,
41:36 I transfer and show here, just holding onto the corner.
41:38 - And how do you ditch the corner?
41:40 - How do you ditch the corner?
41:41 Just like with the torn, the folded up card,
41:44 it comes into my hand, I hand them the card,
41:46 they take that. - And you hand it
41:47 them with the dirty hand?
41:48 - I always hand it with the dirty hand, you don't have to,
41:50 that's just a personal preference.
41:52 Here, here, here, take the card, look at it.
41:56 - Cool.
41:57 - Or you can take the card, look at it, and palm it here.
41:59 - Now you got a nice mouth thing as well, haven't you?
42:01 - Yeah, this is something that, it's a little different,
42:04 but it will also give you the same type of restoration,
42:07 it looks the exact same to the spectator,
42:09 but the corner's totally gone.
42:12 So I say I need some moisture, go to your tongue once,
42:15 touch it, go to your tongue again, touch it,
42:18 now you're gonna go to your tongue again,
42:19 kinda hold the corner in between your fingers
42:21 so they can't see it. - Okay.
42:23 - Now you're literally gonna put this on your tongue
42:25 and slide it into your mouth.
42:27 - Okay. - Just like this, so here.
42:29 And that action looks like you're just kinda dabbing it
42:33 with your tongue.
42:34 - Okay, yeah, and because you've done it a couple of times
42:35 beforehand, that's like the faint setup, the--
42:37 - Yes, absolutely, so you're here, one more time.
42:40 And then they're looking here, so you don't wanna do--
42:44 - And you can talk quite freely while it's in your mouth.
42:46 - Yeah, I move it to the side of my mouth,
42:48 you don't wanna start chewing on it, they will notice,
42:51 but if they're looking at the card,
42:52 you can move it to the side of your mouth so you can talk.
42:55 - Okay. - 'Cause you don't wanna
42:55 be silent for the rest of the night.
42:57 - Okay. - So you're here,
42:58 you pretend to hold the corner,
42:59 and you're just gonna lever the corner up,
43:02 show completely restored.
43:04 - That's nice as well, that's great.
43:06 - Now I could do the rest of this DVD
43:08 with this in my mouth, but I'm actually not going to.
43:10 - Yeah, take it out, you're not gonna use that corner
43:11 as well, are you, the whole time?
43:12 - No, we're gonna put this on your floor.
43:13 - Okay, great, why not?
43:15 - Okay, so that's cool handling.
43:16 - And then you've got Dave's idea
43:19 of ditching it behind the neck, right?
43:19 - Yeah, now this is not something I do,
43:21 so I'm gonna actually have to get some help, but--
43:24 - Okay, well I can do that, how about we swap?
43:25 - Yeah, let's swap.
43:26 - Okay, now this is an idea of Dave Penn's,
43:28 this is something I don't do either,
43:29 if you just hold that towards me, there we go.
43:31 This is an idea of Dave's, the idea here--
43:34 - Now these corners won't totally match
43:36 because I took that from another card.
43:37 - Totally, yeah, that's not a problem,
43:38 but the idea is-- - Do you wanna use the--
43:40 - No, it's fine, it's fine. - Okay.
43:41 - The idea is, it's gonna look,
43:43 it's based on something you did in,
43:45 did you used to do this in a competition back then?
43:46 - Yeah, I did a broken and restored Sharpie
43:50 using this method, and a cigarette effect as well.
43:53 - And the basic of this move goes back to coins,
43:55 I don't know where-- - Yeah, it's an old move.
43:57 - It's an old move, yeah. - I think the first time
43:59 it was done was by Darrell, and he put something in--
44:03 - Really? - Yeah, yeah.
44:04 - So it's not that old. - It's not that old,
44:05 Darrell did it first, but anyway,
44:07 the idea is, it's gonna look like,
44:10 you're gonna tell them that you need some heat
44:12 in order to do this. - Some static electricity.
44:13 - Yeah, some static electricity or something.
44:15 And it's gonna look like you rub the card against one elbow.
44:17 - The first one, first one, you lift up.
44:19 - No, don't you rub the corner first?
44:21 - Yeah, that's the first one. - Okay, right, okay,
44:23 so the first one you rub is you're gonna rub
44:25 the corner against this elbow.
44:26 And once you rub the corner against the elbow,
44:28 this hand comes up. - So it's a feint,
44:30 just like before. - Behind your neck.
44:31 - It doesn't get hidden. - Yeah, it doesn't get hidden,
44:32 it's there, and you rub the corner.
44:33 - But you wanna make sure you don't flash.
44:35 - Yeah, you don't wanna flash this corner
44:37 that you're holding back here.
44:38 So you're holding the card, and you say,
44:40 "I'm just gonna rub the corner here."
44:42 - Static electricity. - And then you come back
44:43 to the same position, and then you say,
44:44 "I'm gonna rub the card here."
44:46 As you say, "I'm gonna rub the card here,"
44:48 the corner gets ditched behind your collar
44:51 as you rub here, and then as you come back down,
44:54 your fingers are being held as if the corner's
44:55 still held behind them, but obviously
44:57 you're not holding anything.
44:58 So done at full speed, it looks like this.
45:00 I'm gonna try and put this back together.
45:02 I'm gonna need a little bit of static electricity.
45:04 Let me just rub the corner here.
45:06 I'm just gonna rub the card here, there we go.
45:09 And now I'm in position, so now I can go,
45:10 watch, if I just rub, just like this.
45:13 - And that's great. - I can fuse the card
45:15 right back together. - And you obviously,
45:17 you don't wanna-- - You end up with it
45:17 ditched behind your neck. - You don't wanna come back
45:19 like this, like as if you're holding an invisible corner.
45:21 You do wanna have your hand like,
45:23 so it's holding something. - Your fingers need to,
45:25 so it needs to look as if it's being held behind the fingers.
45:27 So one more time, at full speed, it should look like this.
45:30 So if I just rub the corner here,
45:31 if I just rub the card here, I can actually
45:33 take that corner, and I can actually.
45:36 - And you end completely clean.
45:38 - Completely clean.
45:39 Did I do that justice, Dave?
45:40 - That was great. - Was that okay?
45:41 Was that okay? - That was great.
45:42 - Okay, so that's another idea.
45:43 - Looked good from my angle, too.
45:43 - Cool, brilliant, so there you go.
45:44 - Now we're gonna trade, and now let's get
45:47 into Dave's philosophy of flash paper.
45:49 - Yeah, why don't you, do you wanna,
45:50 do you wanna say anything on this, Dave?
45:52 - Well, any trick, whatever it is,
45:54 if you involve flash paper,
45:55 it becomes five times more effective.
45:57 - And I agree.
45:58 - That's David Penn's philosophy on close-up magic.
46:01 - Yeah, I don't use any fire in my own work,
46:04 but this is the concept.
46:05 If you have a ball of flash paper,
46:07 you can ditch the corner, or you can have it,
46:09 and just throw it, and be dirty at the end.
46:11 It doesn't actually matter.
46:12 So let's just say this is ditched in your pocket
46:14 as you put the sharpie away or something.
46:16 You can figure out a handling, it will be super simple.
46:18 - I mean, an easy way to do it would be
46:19 to just do a false transfer, put the sharpie away.
46:21 - Do a one-time erase, crossing the gaze.
46:23 - Yeah, you could do a gaze switch,
46:24 you could put the card in your top pocket.
46:26 - Yeah.
46:27 - So you'd have a nice contrast.
46:28 If you were wearing a black suit,
46:29 it goes into your top pocket.
46:31 You'd still have a lovely contrast with the corner missing.
46:34 - Yep.
46:35 - So just, you can ditch this, grab--
46:36 - You then have the corner signed,
46:39 which is again, more motivation for putting the card away
46:43 just for a moment, but it's not left their sight.
46:45 You then do a shift in the gaze switch.
46:48 So now you're holding the flash paper,
46:49 a ball of flash paper.
46:50 - They think it's a corner.
46:51 - Yeah, so again, you're holding it behind your,
46:52 you don't go like this.
46:54 - Yeah.
46:54 - Behind your hand.
46:55 Now I don't actually use flash paper,
46:57 but you would go to a candle,
46:58 have someone hold out a lighter, go here.
47:00 And then what you can do is if you change grips
47:02 on the card beforehand, you can actually kind of do
47:04 like a one-handed restoration.
47:06 - Show them that grip.
47:07 - In the fire.
47:08 - So what I'm just doing is I'm holding it,
47:10 so I'm kind of pinching, and if I pinch,
47:12 it's gonna open up.
47:13 - Yeah.
47:14 - It doesn't get any more simple.
47:15 And so I'm here.
47:16 (imitates sound effects)
47:18 - That looks great.
47:19 - And the sound effects come with it.
47:20 - Yeah, you have to do the (imitates sound effects)
47:22 You got to work on that or?
47:24 - Well, that's for a different DVD.
47:25 - Okay, right.
47:26 - Called Sound.
47:27 - Fair enough, okay.
47:29 - So there, there, and obviously if you want,
47:32 there's so many ways you can do ditch the corner,
47:35 restore the card that if we went through them,
47:37 we'd be here all night.
47:37 - But I know you mean, this means a lot to you.
47:39 You say like the visual restorations,
47:42 you still firmly believe, forget all this,
47:45 and do it in the hands of the spectator.
47:46 - Yeah, and we have actually one more thing
47:48 that you can do in the hands of the spectator.
47:49 - Yeah, yeah.
47:50 - If you don't want to fold up the cards.
47:51 - This is actually another genius idea, like genius.
47:52 This is a genius idea.
47:54 - And I guess I have to say that Craig Petty
47:56 invented this one.
47:57 - Genius idea.
47:58 - Okay, so you're here, if you don't want to fold up
47:59 the card, this is something that we can do.
48:01 You have one spectator, you can have two spectators do it,
48:03 or one, one put their hand like this,
48:05 and one like this, so two hands.
48:07 - Yeah.
48:08 - As you put this in, as the hands closing,
48:10 you're gonna say, close your hands.
48:11 - I'll do.
48:12 - All right, I'll do my hand and your hand.
48:13 So you say you're here, you put the corner down,
48:16 and as the hand closed, just one handed again,
48:19 you unlift the corner so it's flat,
48:21 and they can't feel that.
48:23 You can't feel that the corner's there, or if it's missing.
48:25 - You can't tell at all.
48:26 - So when they open up their hands, it's actually there.
48:28 It's not folded or anything, it's straight there.
48:30 - How I would tend to do that is I would tend to do that
48:32 after the back of the neck ditch here,
48:36 if you hold that just for a second.
48:37 What I would tend to do is, you're in this situation,
48:41 you rub the corner, you rub here,
48:43 and you say, hold your hand out for me.
48:45 Very good.
48:46 I'm gonna, I'm just gonna, what am I doing?
48:49 No.
48:50 - Putting them in their hands.
48:51 - Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you just put this in your hand.
48:52 - So you're pretending to put both in their hands.
48:53 - Shouldn't we have discussed this before we made the DVD?
48:56 - Possibly, yeah, but yeah.
48:57 You'd end up putting both in their hand,
48:59 and you can put their hand over it and it can restore.
49:01 That's one way that you could do it.
49:03 - What did you think to that, Geoff?
49:04 I thought it was pretty lame.
49:06 - Well, I think everything Craig does is,
49:08 defiant notch.
49:09 - Thank you, buddy, give me five.
49:10 - Yeah, anyway, let's get back to you talking about it.
49:13 - All right, so yeah.
49:14 - Because it's five in the morning.
49:15 - Yeah, exactly.
49:17 (laughing)
49:18 - And we're tired.
49:20 - So you can do the visual restorations,
49:21 and you can do, I get the best reactions, try it out,
49:24 but come up with your own, all you have to do is this.
49:28 Find a way to do this, and you're good to go.
49:30 So those are just a few alternate handlings
49:32 on how to restore the corner.
49:35 - You know, there's a reason that everyone calls you
49:36 the hottest name in magic.
49:38 - I don't think I've ever been called that.
49:40 - Oh, that's Caelan Morelli, damn.
49:42 (laughing)
49:44 (dramatic music)
49:48 - Can Caelan Morelli do that?
49:57 - Yeah, probably with one hand tied behind his back,
49:59 to be honest, really.
50:01 But anyway.
50:02 - So we're gonna get into forcing.
50:03 - Yep, forcing now.
50:03 - 'Cause you do need to force the gimmick.
50:05 - Yeah, you do.
50:06 - Well, we'll discuss, actually, if you actually do need to,
50:08 'cause you might not.
50:09 - You might not have a non-force method,
50:10 but if they need to force the gimmick, what do you do?
50:12 - So I'm gonna show you this with my fancy green deck.
50:15 - Yeah.
50:16 - See, I have this belief that if you don't use
50:18 a red or blue deck, you're cool.
50:19 - Okay.
50:20 - So I'm cool with this green deck.
50:21 - You're cool, you're very cool.
50:22 - Yeah, so, and the card is on top.
50:23 Or it could be on bottom, we'll discuss that quickly.
50:25 So we're gonna do Max Holden's famous,
50:27 super-duper cross-cut force,
50:30 sometimes known as the criss-cross force.
50:32 The deck's on the table, card's on top,
50:34 have the spectator cut about half of the cards,
50:37 just like that.
50:38 Put the bottom half on top of the top half,
50:41 or what was the top half, perpendicular,
50:44 or as you guys say, the other way.
50:46 - Yeah, the other way.
50:47 - Perfect.
50:48 Now, the time misdirection, talking about patter,
50:51 doing whatever you want.
50:52 - Yeah, you do the patterns.
50:53 - Yeah, for my actual patter about CPR,
50:56 that's when I talk about the main part of it.
50:59 Then this is what you do.
51:00 You lift up here, you put the top card,
51:02 and here's a cool subtlety from Mr. David Penn.
51:05 - David Penn.
51:06 - Flip over that card, and leave it in the middle.
51:10 This just convinces them it's been in the middle
51:12 the entire time.
51:13 - Yeah, nice subtlety, Dave.
51:14 - Yeah, you can leave the other top half.
51:16 - Yeah, it can still be that way.
51:18 - You want to.
51:19 - Yeah, so just--
51:20 - I'm not sure if I did come up with it,
51:21 but I put it in some notes years ago,
51:23 and it was in my lecture.
51:24 - You talked about it on the Ruff DVD as well, didn't you?
51:26 - I did, nobody ever said, "It's not yours."
51:28 - All right, so--
51:28 - I'm claiming it now.
51:29 - That's just a way to show it's been in the middle
51:31 the entire time.
51:31 So one more time, if you start on top.
51:34 You do need time misdirection for this.
51:36 Here, here, talk.
51:39 Craig, you like to talk, so you can get away
51:41 with this easily.
51:42 - I can talk and talk and talk and talk, yeah.
51:43 - So you say, "Okay, I'm gonna give you your card."
51:45 Oops, don't do that.
51:46 Here, all right, perfect.
51:48 - Okay, so that's the crosscut force,
51:50 and then you get into the routine.
51:51 What's the non-force method you got?
51:53 - Well, quickly, obviously, that card can also be forced
51:55 on the bottom of the deck.
51:55 - Non-force, you've got to force it.
51:56 - No, you don't.
51:57 - How can there be a non-force method?
51:59 - Okay, you guys kind of totally just talked over me,
52:01 so I'm gonna repeat myself.
52:02 - Sorry.
52:03 - Thank you, guys.
52:04 - You guys do that to me all the time.
52:05 - I'm sorry, I wouldn't talk.
52:05 - It's British people.
52:06 - Sorry, Jeff.
52:07 - So if you want to force it from the bottom.
52:09 I'm gonna walk out.
52:11 - Caleb Merlin.
52:12 (laughing)
52:13 - So if you want to force it, put it on the bottom
52:15 of the deck, do the same thing,
52:16 except then show the bottom card.
52:18 Just something you can do.
52:20 - Yeah.
52:21 - Why not mention it?
52:22 Now, there is a way to do it without a force,
52:24 and I have it right here.
52:24 I actually wrote no force.
52:26 - Just so you know.
52:27 - Yeah.
52:27 - Give them the card, hand it to them,
52:28 say, "There's your card."
52:29 - Now, this has two advantages.
52:30 One, Craig, take out any card.
52:33 - Okay.
52:34 That one?
52:36 - You're ready.
52:37 - That's the meanest classic force I've ever seen.
52:37 - I know, right?
52:38 You're ready to go.
52:39 Also, the other advantage is you can do this
52:42 26 times in a night, 'cause what I have here
52:44 is 26 fuse gimmicks.
52:47 - Oh, right, okay.
52:47 - These are 26 double-sided cards, so--
52:49 - So you don't even need to--
52:50 - So there really is no force?
52:51 - No, any card.
52:52 - So you don't need to worry about resetting the trick,
52:54 either, because--
52:55 - Yeah, no reset.
52:56 If you don't want to do this, you can just, obviously,
52:57 keep them in your pocket and add it to the deck.
52:59 - And just add them to the deck, yeah.
53:00 - But you can just go like this, do it 26 times.
53:02 Well, you don't want to do a two-card deck.
53:04 - That's really nice.
53:05 - But, so you're here, this is 26 CPR gimmicks.
53:07 They're all double.
53:08 So the only discrepant thing is you don't see 52 cards.
53:11 - By CPR gimmicks, do you mean fuse gimmicks?
53:13 - Did I say CPR?
53:13 - You said CPR. - That's your patter.
53:15 - Oh, well--
53:16 - The patter and stuff.
53:17 - Yeah, for the patter.
53:18 It's not like the name was changed on me.
53:20 - Okay, the name might have been changed on you,
53:22 but come on, CPR?
53:23 - What's that all about?
53:24 - Fuse with a Z, come on.
53:25 - All right, so for the fuse gimmicks, have a pick one.
53:27 - All the cool kids have a Z in the name of their DVD.
53:29 - Is it fused?
53:31 - It's fuse.
53:32 - Yeah, wait, why did he say Z?
53:34 - 'Cause F-U-Z-E.
53:35 Didn't you know it's 50 times more cooler
53:38 if you have a Z instead of an S?
53:40 - Come on, you're a kid. - Oh, are you talking?
53:43 Yeah.
53:44 - We're in our 30s and we know that.
53:45 - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm gonna go,
53:46 I'm gonna buy a black deck soon,
53:47 and you know, sometimes I'll put a black card
53:49 over my red deck just so it can fit in.
53:51 - There's the real work on how to be cool by Jeff Price.
53:54 - Yeah, so anyway, but back to this.
53:57 So you just do this, have them pick any card.
54:00 Make sure if you're running low on the gimmicks,
54:02 you can add them.
54:04 You don't have to show the fronts, they're all different.
54:05 - Yep. - You can show a few fronts.
54:07 But so that is another non-force way to do CPR.
54:11 Fuse!
54:12 - Fuse. - Fuse.
54:13 - It's fuse. - Fuse.
54:14 (dramatic music)
54:24 - Okay, so crediting, very, very important.
54:26 I asked you to, you know, we said that we needed
54:29 to get all the credits.
54:30 You got it all sorted, right?
54:31 - Yeah, 'cause me and you share the same idea on credits.
54:34 We should credit others if we wanna be credited as well.
54:35 - We stand on the shoulders of giants, don't we?
54:37 And you know, it's not like Dave with that crosscut thing.
54:39 - No. - No.
54:40 - That's mine now.
54:41 - You're nicking it? - Yeah, that's mine.
54:42 - Whether it's his or not is nicking it.
54:44 - All right, so I actually prepared a little script
54:46 for you to read.
54:47 I'm gonna show the book and pamphlet in this case
54:50 as you are reading from the script off my iPad.
54:52 - Seriously, you really want me to read this?
54:53 - Yes.
54:54 - And you're gonna hold up props?
54:55 - Yeah, I'm gonna show and tell.
54:56 - It's gonna be like a show and tell, yeah.
54:57 Okay, right, here we go.
54:58 Are you ready?
54:59 - I'm ready.
55:00 - Right, here we go.
55:01 I'm gonna read this Jeff script.
55:02 - You've got a lot of enthusiasm here, Craig, I can tell.
55:03 - I can't be bothered, but I'll do it.
55:04 Okay, here we go.
55:05 - You can't be bothered.
55:06 You're always going on about crediting.
55:07 - I know.
55:08 - Are you now going on record and saying
55:09 you can't be bothered?
55:10 - Well, kind of, yeah.
55:11 We could just flash it up on the screen
55:12 and that'd be fine.
55:13 People can read.
55:13 But no, I've got a script.
55:15 It's like massively, okay, here we go.
55:17 I'm reading your script.
55:18 - Mention all the names that you have to.
55:20 - According to Jack Potter and Milton Cortz,
55:22 the master index to magic in print,
55:25 also known as Potter's Index,
55:27 the first torn and restored card was published in 1858
55:31 in a book titled Criminal Natural.
55:33 - Oh my God.
55:34 - Criminal, no, don't worry.
55:35 - Chemical.
55:36 - Chemical, oh sorry, chemical.
55:36 - Chemical.
55:37 - Sorry, chemical, with a Y.
55:38 - Let's say it one more time.
55:39 Chemical.
55:40 - Chemical.
55:41 - Yes.
55:41 - Natural and physical magic.
55:43 - Is that the book from 1850?
55:44 - Did we even?
55:45 - It's in good shape.
55:45 - No, this is a reprint of it, obviously.
55:48 But it's called the Torn Card Restored.
55:50 I believe it's on page 196.
55:53 - Okay, that's just sad.
55:53 - Okay.
55:54 - Get on with it.
55:55 - Okay, this is sad.
55:56 I mean, I'm into crediting, but this is just,
55:57 there's another page.
55:58 - It's longer, too.
55:59 - Oh my God, oh my God.
56:01 You might want to fast forward for this next bit.
56:03 Here we go.
56:04 The use of a duplicate card with adhesive solely for the--
56:07 - Adhesive.
56:08 - Yeah, we say adhesive.
56:09 Solely for the purpose of torn and restored cards
56:12 originated with Johann--
56:14 - Johann.
56:15 - Johann Neptomuk--
56:16 - No, Nepomuk.
56:18 - Nepomuk.
56:19 Oh, that's his middle name, Hofzinger.
56:20 - Haven't you heard J.N. Hofzinger?
56:22 - Let's just call him Hofzinger.
56:23 Okay, it originated with him, the father of card magic,
56:27 in a book detailing his work, Card Conjuring--
56:29 - Now pause.
56:30 I couldn't actually find the book.
56:31 It's like out of print everywhere.
56:32 So I got the e-book from one of the websites that I bought
56:35 and I actually printed out the trick.
56:37 But just to show you guys what it looks like.
56:39 - This is just sad.
56:40 In his book detailing his work, Card Conjuring,
56:42 he published the Three Powers.
56:44 This trick is the first source to contain a torn
56:46 and restored card with this method.
56:49 The book was written in German in 1910 by Oticar Fisher?
56:54 - Yeah, Oticar Fisher.
56:55 - Oticar Fisher.
56:56 The descriptions were difficult to understand
56:58 and Fisher start--
56:59 - As Fisher.
57:00 - Oh, sorry.
57:01 As Fisher started writing the book after Hofzinger's death
57:04 and he was less than a decent writer.
57:06 Like, this just isn't crediting.
57:07 This is like a review of his book.
57:09 - No, this is history.
57:11 History, let's go deep into the torn and restored card.
57:14 - Brilliant.
57:14 The descriptions were based off of the account
57:17 of Hofzinger's friends and students.
57:19 When the book was translated to English
57:21 by Samuel Henry Sharp in 19--
57:23 Who cares who translated it?
57:25 - I say Sharp.
57:26 - Okay, okay, Sharp in 1931.
57:29 The descriptions became so muddled.
57:32 So am I.
57:33 The descriptions became so muddled
57:35 that the text is entirely--
57:36 - Extremely.
57:37 - Extremely tricky to comprehend, yeah.
57:40 Nevertheless, Hofzinger deserves this credit.
57:42 - Guess what?
57:43 - So there you go.
57:44 - No, guess what, Greg?
57:45 - That's the crediting.
57:45 - There's more.
57:46 - Oh, bloody hell.
57:47 Really?
57:48 - Well, you have to, it's an I,
57:50 but you have to say the force we used.
57:51 - Okay.
57:52 The force we used is--
57:54 - David Penn's.
57:55 - Is titled "The Crosscut Force"
57:58 and it was created by Max Holden.
58:00 - With David Penn's subtlety.
58:01 - With David Penn's subtlety.
58:03 It was published in the July 1925 issue
58:07 of--
58:08 - Edward Bagshaw.
58:10 - Edward Bagshaw's Magical Monthly.
58:12 Go on, where's that?
58:13 - I couldn't find that one either.
58:15 - You couldn't find, oh, right.
58:16 You just haven't worked hard enough
58:17 at this crediting, have you?
58:19 It was used in the trick titled "The New Life" and--
58:22 - "The New Knife."
58:22 - "The New Knife," sorry, "The New Knife" and selected cards.
58:25 - Okay, now only 16 more.
58:27 - Really?
58:28 - No, I'm just kidding, isn't that great?
58:28 - Is that it?
58:29 - Yeah, it's great.
58:30 - That was very in-depth.
58:32 That was--
58:33 - Now maybe we should read out the three powers.
58:35 - No, no, no, no, no.
58:37 - We don't wanna read out the whole--
58:38 - No, no, no.
58:39 I said, Dave, don't--
58:40 - It's 5.30 in the morning now.
58:41 - I said we needed to,
58:43 I said, why didn't we just do this with Caleb Morelli?
58:45 - It's 5.30 in the morning now.
58:46 - Caleb Morelli, should've been Caleb Morelli.
58:48 - That guy's a genius.
58:49 - Craig, you always--
58:49 - Caleb Morelli is a genius.
58:51 - Caleb's a friend, but you guys always say
58:53 that crediting's important.
58:54 I went out of my way to do this.
58:56 - And I appreciate, crediting is very important.
58:58 - We can hug it out later.
58:59 - Yeah, we'll hug it out later, yeah, off camera.
59:01 - We can do it on camera if you want.
59:02 - No, I'd rather not.
59:03 - Okay.
59:04 (dramatic music)
59:08 - Okay, so that's it.
59:15 We hope you enjoyed Fuse with a Z.
59:18 It's a fun--
59:18 - I actually hope they hated it.
59:19 - Why, really?
59:20 So they don't do it?
59:21 - Yeah, it's only me. - So you're the only person
59:22 that does.
59:23 - Well, I know you can't do it
59:23 'cause you can't do magic of this caliber, but--
59:25 - No, not at all.
59:26 - The viewing audience probably can.
59:27 - Yeah, they can.
59:28 And we hope that you actually use it.
59:31 And it's a great trick.
59:32 It's really commercial.
59:33 - Served me well for the past while.
59:35 Probably can do the same for you.
59:36 - Yeah, and don't forget to check out everything
59:39 that Jeff Price does,
59:40 because this guy is the hottest name in magic.
59:44 - I'm not gonna make a comment.
59:46 Nope, that's it. - After Kayla Morelli.
