Reveal Sandwitches Magic Contest - Winner: BCardician ($100)

[Canardodo]

Could we have the answer ? :D I'm so sad to have been so close but didnt find it :p

Because if BCardician won it, i can't see his answer :(

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@Canardodo BCardician chose to do a performance video which was a valid submission, so all you could do is blaming him for not making any public video or submission including exposure.

It's similar to the majority who sent an e-mail in order to keep the exposure private and who wouldn't want to expose something publically. I hope you understand that we respect those decisions.

[Canardodo]

@MarkHilkemeijer Sure. I'll just keep seeking then. :D

[faquiado]

easy trick. you force the card, then its another one at the bottom you palm it, and thats all

[furrukhjamal00]

i cant put in the method in 500 characters so mailing it to u

[martinlink007]

One explanation is, of course, that you do "The Flash" with the J of hearts, but that's highly unplausible :P

So I'll just tell you my view on the trick:

It's almost as Canardodo said - there are indeed 4 cards in your hand (2xQ, 1xJ and 1 random). When you do the shaking motion, the J is in between the Q of clubs and the random card and slips out when you loosen the grip on the 3 cards. So the Q of clubs and the random card stick together and it looks like it's 1 card. Am I at least close?:D

[martinlink007]

The reason I think it's like that is that when you show the cards from the back, we can see the back of the random card (so it looks like the back of the Q of clubs). Between the Q of clubs and the random card which are both face up, there is the J of hearts, which is face down. Hope it's close :)

still remains the competition? i know..

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@gustcevallos

Feel free to give it a try. You might be the very last contestant though.

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@Canardodo

Oops! Sorry! I was pretty sure I sent a reply already.

Anyhow, that was one amazing try, but no. Sorry. But indeed, you are not that far away at all!

@CtheAmazing17

Sorry, but you missed a lot.

[Canardodo]

No answer to my answer ;((

[CtheAmazing17]

ok the only thing i could think of is the jack is really randomly selected then you do an invisable pass to bring it to the top you pick it up with the queens and when you shake you can see it.

[Canardodo]

8. The third card is still behind the queen of club when you throw it at 1:01.

If i'm not good, i think i'm prety close ! :)

[Canardodo]

4. Then you put the three first cards into left hand at 0:42, puting the jake between the queen of club and the "third card".

5. When you show cards at camera at 0:46, the face down jake is hidden by this "third card", you have actually 4 cards in your hand.

6. Then you shake, the two middle cards coming at 0:52.

7. You hide with your hand at 0:58 to hide the third card between the two queens when you're taking the jake of heart.

[Canardodo]

I try again !

1. Double turn at 0:16, so you have 3 cards in your hand, the third is any card, and have face up as the queens, behind club one.

2. When you show jack again at 0:30 you make it slice at the very bottom of the deck.

3. When you put deck on the table at 0:41 you just keep this last card (the jack) into your hand, that's quite easy to see that your left hand looks like having a card inside !

[MarkHilkemeijer]

It's completely clean so there are no special cards or duplicates used, sorry. I appreciate the try though.

[Canardodo]

Damn ! :D

[Canardodo]

Didnt see that contest !

Thats what i think :

1. The top card of the deck is a heart jack, you just used a classic double turn at very start (the jack of heart is just hidden behind the queen of club when he first revelead it and then jack is right between the both queens). The turn is already over at 0:16.

2. How you get a heart jack at 0:22. That's the hardest part for me because there are many possibilities. I do think that this jake is a bit bigger than the other cards but cant be sure ! ;)

[DivinusLumina92]

if u don't use magnet so u use sticky stuff, maybe u use something that is on the dvd called "SuperCards" by Richard Sanders.

[DivinusLumina92]

the top queen contains a magnet so the layer would be

1.queenSpade + queenClover

2. queenClover,

free selection and than controlled with a side steal to the bottom, copped and then inserted between the 1 layer. (queenS and QC) then u give it a shake until the bottom is covered, so u have a display of one card is trapped then on 0:56, u peal the magnetic card so it stick to the first queen.

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@S13zeTheDay

Thanks a lot for giving it a try! However, you seemed to have missed something. For instance, how was I able to show both sides of the Queens without the selection showing?

[S13zeTheDay]

First you give free choice in riffling. Then, put the card in middle, spring the cards over it messily, lift those up to secure a break above the j. Under cover of your right hand, you pass the top card of the bottom packet (the jack) to the bottom using your fingers (either that or possibly the [push out w/2/3 finger to right then drop to left] (I forgot the real name). After, it's a simple bottom palm with misdirection of spreading deck. then take qs in left, put jack between them, and reveal

[Jarmer]

Another contest eh?! Awesome Mark...! I'll try, but I think even this is above my head.

[Illusionist58]

i Got Half of it right But the Last part I cannot Figure out.

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@malnsk

I'm sorry but that's not how I did it. Thanks a lot for your try though! I appreciate it a lot! Please try again as you were on your way here and there.

[malnsk]

the card is a free choice. the two queens have a double stick tape on one of them and a double backer is taped on one the top queen. the selection controlled to the bottom by a very clean control. then the selection is copped(with the left hand) and then the two queens are placed one on top of that card and one below...by spreading the two queens you show just the two of them and then you show two queens and the double backer...and than you take the jack out not the DB with a switch:p
