@WeAreFuturistic I'm not sure... It used to be Mano Negra's "Magic Dice", but then the copyright hellhounds complained, and I changed it to something royalties-free... And now people complain about the cheesy smooth jazz! You just can't make everyone happy, now, can you? ;)
Very well executed. I usually use 10's and kings, but I liked this a tad better. I will use clear cards while doing walk around and that always gets em too.
I think its more fun to show the last two Jokers at the same time and just lay 'm open to see. Makes it even more asumeable that the cards are in fact 4 Jokers.
@Lopplt I'm not sure... I haven't tried it, but I think there is a risk in a discrepancy in procedure: why leave only two of the four cards face up? What's different about those two?
@learningstudio I get what you're coming. But the thing is: you keep showing 1 of the others at the time. If you show 2 Jokers at the same time it makes it'll amaze the audience even more and make them more likely to believe there are in fact 4 Jokers. Should always try to make the finishing move a bit different,
@orozcormanuel Right, 'cause everybody knows that when they go to the bottom, cards magically change to jokers? I'm not trying to hide that the cards come from the bottom, that's what it is supposed to look like.
@orozcormanuel I do this trick and if you think that you can figure it out just because you feel he revealed by grabbing from the bottom, you know very little about magic. There are quite a few moves in this trick. To make it look as good as this you need to practice it many times. This was a great performance. And I know how it's done!
hey guys i have recently just made a new video plz watch it it its really good i practiced really hard and ived master the jumoing jemeni i wil lsoon be making lots and LOTS of new magic tricks... right now im trying to make my own magic trick..... to see my video jsut click my name
Mano Negra is not annoying, it's classic. But, if you don't like it, just turn it off. We have the technology to mute sound! Really, it is possible. Just stop whining about it!
sorry, I thought I was leaving "feedback". Didn't realize you were so thin-skinned. Yes I can (and did) turn the volume down. But if it wasn't "annoying" no one should have to do that...I thought that would have been a clue when you were typing that responce *shrug*
so good. omg. this has to be the best jumping gemini video on youtube, and the music didn't ruin the video, it just added a fun effect to it so you can enjoy the video a little more
Wow. I think you did an excellent job. I am just learning this trick so I am no where near as good at it as you are, but I hope I can be. That was a great performance.
try with a push block, as to say, instead of trying to take the top two or three cards, try to push all the cards away from the bottom card. they all slip apart, and you take them as one card, and flip them. hth
Press thumb and forefinger together and stick two cards just between the tips of these two fingers. Then they will not slip away since your fingers stick together. hth
great performance...... absolutly amazing... just when u show the 4 tens the second time I find it works better with a 3 card monte throw with 4 cards.. I got a jumping gemeni vid on my chanel with it on .. check it out if u wanna... other than that.. amazing
One think I think you forgot or did not do, is that you should show the last 2 cards together or very close to eachother, as it is the only chance you really get to do it, and it gives a nice effect to see that you can show em like that as well..
You are using rommy cards and not poker cards right?
They look a little slim to me, and I think they are the best kind of cards for this trick... At least I think you need to keep a tighter grib on poker cards as they are a bit wider and harder to flip over without sliding apart.
Jumping Gemini - this is one of my favorite tricks... I always do this after i perform Stand Up monte... ehehehehe... I like your tricks... all of your video is amazing... Im just new in magic... nice work...
Your lifts are quite amazing. Mine often look a little weird, and are therefore not as convincing... I guess it's an innate ability, because I've been doing magic for about a year now and still my lifts kind of suck.
Thanks. Look up Brother John Hamman's book: I'm using his handling of a DL from a small packet, which quite honestly is the only way to go if you have 4 or 5 cards.
Sorry to bother you once again, but regarding the move near the end where you show all four cards as being the ace (second time, after the DLs and TLs), do you know the name of it? I know how it's done, of course; I just wondered if it had a name.
Flawless card magic! Eclectic taste in music. I didn't know anyone outside of France knew of this band! The Black Hand! Dude, you rock on multiple levels of weird!!! KG
Thank you Mr. Kent. There are some advantages to growing up in Europe, I guess... Italy is not that far from France, and Mano Negra was part of the soundtrack of my despondent adolescence... Thanks for the compliments!
Your version is a good one. Virtualy no u tube performers use the pinky count because although it is the best method it is the most dificult. If you want to improve your version further check out Darwin Ortiz's original version and you will see his trick actually has a rythem to it, again this flies by most u tube performers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I gotta love all of you youtube "magicians". you are a bunch of morons. His performance was below a 50%. He had some good, some bad. Some huge flaws and it wasn't that good. Love how you don't know anything though.
Thanks for the feedback. This was posted more than a year ago (hard to believe); in the intervening time, my technique got better... Sometimes I watch some of my older videos and cringe a little bit. What bit in the middle?
hahah I think every magician does that when they look back at when they were a beginner.
Yeah I guess that was a little confusing but what I meant was that compared to most other peoples versions of Jumping Gemini, the "bit" or parts in the middle were more true to the original trick that you performed. Hope that helps.
Oh and sorry it took so long to reply to the post.
And don't listen to the guy above, even if it was an earlier performance it was well executed.
you do it very good, just another something to add to this trick that i love to show when i'm performing this trick..
i like to add another elmsly count to make this count more convincing as hecklers might not believe its a simple "order-reversed packet" i got that sometimes so i wanted to make it more convincing, and it worked. but great job nice performance
yep nice. Diminishing count was good but watch out for the last card. Also when u do a flushtration, make sure you keep the cards in a fan in the left hand when youre done showing them. Its much more "eye pleasing" and clear. Great job!
when your doing your lifts and when your not you need to use the same hand movement of the left hang as you do when you do your lifts makes it less catchable.. ( the sliding of your thumb)
Very nice handling. I really enjoy your videos and great seeing some good old classics amongst the wannabecrissangeldavidblainelevitationstreetmagicpunks. Thank you"
I have a tutorial on how to do this trick and i must say you performed that superb! Your double lifts and triple lifts Were really smooth ! i admire this and i will add this video to my faves
Lol, It must of been alittle hard.. I've been practicing this trick for quite a bit.. trying to figure out ways to do it stylish, yet I can't get the last 10 right... (Not to be mean or anything, but your last ten was kinda noticable...)You should try jumping the card, hence - The JUMPING Gemini. It's a cool way of doing it.
I think you're referring to the Ace, which in Roy Raphaeli's version was a 10. To me, doing it with a little "jump" calls attention to the fact that you're doing something weird. The audience might not catch what you did, but they know you did something. On video you can catch a lot of stuff that you normally wouldn't, and I found that the way I do it is never actually caught by the audience, if done swiftly and on the offbeat. Just a matter of preference, really. ;)
Yeah, the gemini count was a little clunky. I was using Bycicles Master edition, which are a little stiffer than regular cards, making the sleight hard to perform smoothly (for me). However, I was under the impression that they should look like they're all coming from the bottom, so that is not a problem in my opinion. Still doesn't explain how they're all four jokers after they've been two of heart and ace of spades... :)
It's relatively easy, actually. All you have to do is find the most comfortable chair in the house, sit down, and spend seven days and seven nights with a deck of cards in front of you repeating this mantra: "vernonelmsleyhofzingerdonotrevealsecrets". Eat nothing but microwaved ramen noodles. After the seventh night a one-armed dwarf will appear to you in a vision, giving you the method via an interpretative dance. ;)
Amazing double lift... Also your triple lify awesome. An excellent performance of the Jumping Gemini card trick. Well Done my friend!!! 5 stars!!! :D

It's relatively easy, actually. All you have to do is find the most comfortable chair in the house, sit down, and spend seven days and seven nights with a deck of cards in front of you repeating this mantra: "vernonelmsleyhofzingerdonotrevealsecrets". Eat nothing but microwaved ramen noodles. After the seventh night a one-armed dwarf will appear to you in a vision, giving you the method via an interpretative dance. ;)
Sorry...
