Derren Brown's 3 card routine

[LewisSomerville]

He puts the cards under the card box at 4:42

[samn441]

Who's better? Derren Brown or Dynamo. Anyone?

[Wellpinit]

I have no idea that he is such an experienced card handler. Very well done and impressive.

[theoriginalbensteele]

Chaps, we can all catch him out at some point if we watch the video repeatedly and slow it down and look closely... but especially you magicians out there don't forget a trick is done face to face one time only... and this guy is one of the best

[xNaturemasterx]

That double lift was a bit poorly executed.. The topchange was done pretty nicely.

[barrysolayme]

@xNaturemasterx Twat.



[KhuntMaster]

MIND FUCK!!!

[KhuntMaster]

MAN HE'S GOOD!

[WrittenEidolon]

Caught him the 2nd time, I was half daydreaming looking at his right hand and he just took the first pair he hid under that box to his left and with his right hand placed the other set on the table and placed the box quickly but the participants were too busy looking at the first set he was showing off. He's hands/fingers are so fast, I do have to admit. The first time I caught him sneaking up a pair of card lmao...my reward...some biscuits. I am so jealous of his talent :P

[SleepHollowing]

This is fanastic, it's just like the card trick that makes up the whole structure of Confessions of a Conjourer. Can't wait till I see Svengali :D

[pixarpianofreak]

"makes no sense!"

[bubblet24]

what is this from? and can i buy it on dvd???

[pdilla]

I love how his performance style is still the same today. His presentation, misdirection, and even humor is still presented the same way.

[TomCook24]

Paraphrasing, but "if it wasn't for this tape, we'd have no record of what Derren Brown did back when he was 'just' a magician." So very, very true.

[bendlor]

the fuck?



[spoitguitar]

The Thing Is Most Of His Books Explaining His Tricks Vary From £100 to £500

[PickledWhispers]

@spoitguitar If you're a performer, that's a bargain; his commentary is second to none.

[jspademagic]

IT MAKES NU SENSE x) love it.

[pixarpianofreak]

@xshugiex just because you know how a trick is done shouldn't lower the magician's ability in your eyes. in fact, it should increase your respect for the people who risk discovery but are confident (hence "con" artist) in their own abilities as performers.

[pixarpianofreak]

perhaps his card technique is not the world's greatest, but his use of psychological misdirection is what makes derren an absolutely fantastic performer, and thus, an incredible card manipulator.

[stephNfatima]

That was amazing I'm going to watch him in June xxxxxx

[xshugiex]

i know how some of its done:)



[xshugiex]

i know exactly how this is done :)

[MultiMaxMagic]

Excellent work ... message to joshgillespiewolf  below ... could help you with invisible deck of cards, how much are you prepared to pay?

[joshgillespiewolf]

How does he make the deck disappear I wanna buy that effect XD

[reesiespeices1]

I got the Devils Picturebook, Pure Effect, and Absolute Magic for free :)

[ShayDog332]

@reesiespeices1 HOW!!!??

[reesiespeices1]

@ShayDog332 They are all on Vuze.. It's like limewire but mainly for movies and books and it's freeeee :)

[malechauvinistxy]

@ShayDog332 he showed you one example at the end...he made it look like he was cutting the deck withought actually cutting it at all..he just used distractions and speed so that the human mind cant actually register where all the cards are .

[IronicAgenda]

psyche - critical

mentality - SCREWED

mind - fucked

so good with magic tricks :)

[criss201]

i bought the devils picturebook about a week and a half ago and hasnt arived yet but i was just wonderin does he teach that "spirits cutting the deck" thing?

[TomCook24]

@criss201 hey I'm in the same boat, it takes up to 3 weeks to arrive, plus we've ordered around xmas hols / new year which is busy anyway :) I can message you the method for the sliding ghost deck part if you want?

[criss201]

@TomCook24 o ye i read the site and it sed up to 21 days, umm ye that message would be nice!:D

[tebe2k]

"Are you happy this is a fair cut, yeah?" Then they say yes when it is obviously not! That's the subtle amazing-ness of Derren Brown.  Mind Control beginning to build

[cricketman101]

watch his right hand at 4:41. not bad. =]

[TomCook24]

Does anyone know the name of the false cut he performs when he says "the ace of clubs is on the top of the deck"?

[Furral]

I like how (if you pay attention) you can see how he does most of it.

[porchhonky]

who is the ONE person that didnt like this video? wow, shocking!

[zab666]

if you read his newest book, that is the card routine described in there!

[TwoTeasChris]

@zab666 Yeah, it's great to see it in action. :-)

[Damn6Deal6Done6]

David Blaine and Chris Angel both watch this with tears in their eyes whilst ferociously masturbating.

[uaquaquaquaq]

@Damn6Deal6Done6 David Blaine is actually an incredible card magician. It's chris angel that's the hack.

[xentech]

@uaquaquaquaq david blain has done some well lame stuff also though.

[Tunt2010]

how does he do the move at 0:34 ? where he gets the three cards to the top of the deck?

[subby7866]

@Tunt2010 well im guessing here but when he makes the pop sound he pushes the cards really hard down so they come out the other end then he puts it on top and maybe he takes a few extra cards from the bottom to make it seem less suspicious

[jayman45484]

stripper deck im guessing!!!!

[nogie8]

@jayman45484 no, the deck he uses is a normal deck.

[ShayDog332]

@jayman45484 NO!

[Torrigans]

It's not only sleight of hand it's the gestures and words he uses to divert their attention

[beacalldavid]

Take a lot of practice to do these tricks I just wish I could be arsed lol

Awsome

[NaiSTARK666]

Wow... Neat trick .. Wish I could do that.. I love this guy

[CoolG2702]

look at the slight of hand at 1:23 EPIC

[monkeyman822]

That was quite easy, I saw him move the card and palm it alot in that!!

[1pokerknight]

it's kinda nice to see derren do some normal card manipulation, just because thats what i do, but i can understand why he rarely does it, its bad for his image

[068ant]

My god that was some smooth misdirection i wish i could do that.

[silver6c]

On the last trick, second time around, he puts the cards in the box before he even starts the 'game'...you can see it at 5:46 (but I truly love this guy)!

[Tunt2010]

how does he do the move at 2:06(likes he pretending to put the card on the table),

whats it called??!!

[PivAnimator345]

Derren is just the best however I am glad he has moved on from those simple card tricks

[KCourtz]

Watch at 1.43...He changes his hand...Verrryyy fast!

[Hardysamnin]

"Do you gamble?"

Fuck no, not with you.

[ILikeToMong]

For a guy that says "I am no psycic or medium and I don't claim to be" saying

"If the spirits are with us" is a pretty hypocritical thing to do.

[MumfredMigglesworth]

@ILikeToMong They know he's not sincere, it's just part of the act.

[eskimokid]

4:38 watch his right hand put the cards under the box haha

[grichi1]

so so so smooth the slieghts that he pulls of are ridicules i mean im a magician and didn't see the slieghts the first time I watched it lol :)

[MrSeamus007]

Fucking what a legend

[skateboardingbassist]

i can see everything he is doing, but to do them all in one trick and with that little effort is just nuts!

[rb1003]

Devils picture book!

[Glisevask]

I love how he switches cards at 1:23 - it's so slick!

[Bahmut2]

@Glisevask Hes not switching, theres 2 cards there, he drops one on his lap. And places it in his pocket when shes rubbing.

[TomCook24]

This is still one of the best pieces of table card magic EVER. I aspire to do even a tiny part of this one day. His coordination in his misdirection is perfect.

[xXrerunitXx]

howd he get the cards back into the box -.- and the deck disappear? only to i dont know lol

[humeyovboro]

haha at 5:46 the woman closest to Derren looks at him putting the card into the box but doesn't even click what he's doing lmao, a GREAT example of Derrens unbelievable misdirection

[humeyovboro]

5:44 **

[humeyovboro]

After watching this alot i've figured most of it out but i still don't know how he cuts the pack near the start and how he makes the whole pack disappear at the end, also how does he make a card disappear into the table cloth ?

If any1 knows please reply or message me

THANKS !

[pimpmymail]

@humeyovboro okay, the card cuts itself u mean??? this is called the haunted deck, search google for a tutorial, and then at the end he pushes the cards on his lap while he is showing the box, MISDIRECTION babe ;) and he appears to hold a deck when already he got rid of it

[humeyovboro]

@pimpmymail Cool thanks, i tried it without gimmicks and bent the corner of the card discretely and sometimes when you tilt the deck very slightly that card comes through but isn't very reliable .. but thanks for the reply helped alot =D and as for the misdirection yeah i kind of guessed after watching it abit more, i commented on this a while back when i was just starting to do tricks and was quite gullable =]

But thanks alot for the reply it helped!

~ Humey, Twenty Ten

[MikeoWar]

Even after having figured out everything he does in this routine, I still get more and more impressed every time I see it. Derren is amazing.

[lolo2000bm]

0:58 Theres the swap

[DanDanTheDustbinMan]

Why the hell is Derren not as renouned as he should be for his card work? He is unreal! This is such an insane demonstration of the most complex card techniques around, he is GOD. I can't wait to see him on his tour, i hope he cracks out some card work! =]

[LukeWhammy]

yes i agree, his misdirection is phenomenal!

[Misterwhalley88]

Though he is not really known for it, Derren is probably one of the best card magicians I have ever seen. His misdirection is unbelievable, great video!

[screwball82]

@Misterwhalley88 It's true, because of his psychological illusions, the fact he was a master of close-up magic is forgotten, but he really is impeccible; his sleight is well on parr with the likes of Teller

[yeshevishman]

@Misterwhalley88 not the best, but the routine is good.

[rb1003]

someone make a tutorial

[roiboos]

Buy his DVDs or his books,

Leechers!!!!

[mikeroephonics]

@roiboos And what are you doing here?

[roiboos]

I do own the DVD

[jwlbailey]

Awesome!!! You rock Derren!!!

[studentoflife01]

I don't see how he put them back? Did he have another set of the same three cards?

[mumsbread]

nope if u know where to look u can pretty much see how all of this was done, wastch his right hand not lfet

[studentoflife01]

Wait if your the expert why don't you see what I'm seeing first before you jugde me. Look at 05:20 - 05:35 he has the same set of the same 3 cards that he uses to put the same 3 cards under the deck. HE CHEATED!

[CorruptOne18]

It's a trick... The whole thing is basically a cheat, the point is it's very, VERY hard to spot to most people, which is what makes it such a mystery.

[17110482]

@studentoflife01 dah of course he cheated he said that he'd cheated and gave them a chance to catch him out. he's brilliant.

[happyman286]

no you idiot. they are not their cards. they are the other cards he used in place of them befor. then he put them on top of the deck and dealed theirs out of underneath the cards he put in their place. its a fucking illusion. and how the fuck do you cheat at magic asshole... unless your a fake douchbag.....

[studentoflife01]

Wait, let me invite you to look at the movie from 4:38 - to the end of the movie again...he tricks us the first time, but look closer at the second...He didn't place the cards underneath the box befor he picked them up...;)

[coolm0di]

stfu

[swisscottagelondon]

great entertainment

[zestybabe92]

i wish i could do this! i can see all the slight of hands i'm just way too clumsy. :P

lol.

[SimLees]

does anyone know where you can find out how to do this? Is it in Devil's picture book or is that just showing the trick? any tutorials?

cheers

[KaranKhanna2009]

@SimLees devil's picture book

[yellowtail92]

theres so much fuckin shit going on

[felic70]

he really is rather cool isn't he, even when he was doing old school magic. the little clicking noise he makes at key moments is really cute.

[Neefeye]

There is no bottom deal. The 2 is put down with the king (as one) and the 14th card isn't really put on the table. Awesome move!

[SpacedTime]

I love the simple trick with the nine at 7:00

[unitedsrh]

lol i know how he does the whole trick as he tells you how he does it after this bit on the video

[jjjared721]

how would i go about finding that video? i can catch him out on some of the moves if i watch very carefully, but some parts i have no idea, please get back to me

cheers.

[deadeaded]

you could always buy his book (like I did)... it's out of print on his website, but I think it's available on the "penguin magic" website...

[glimpz2007]

5:45 he puts the cards back in the box, very slyy

[burkyeah]

IT MAKES NO SENSE! ;)

[mindtrickz123]

at 1;30 he has the card in his hand and puts it in the deck then shows it..

[oscarnodiaz]

Wrong. ;)

[initformusic16]

this is definitely one of my favorite card tricks and i would really love to learn it but i don't know many tricks... actually i only know like two or three tricks. someday i hope i can learn this.

[teamcheyne]

Stuff like this makes me want to become a magician!

[sharkytrfc]

This is genius, there is so much going on simultaneously and such a great demonstration of the manipulation of the audience's attention. Awesome routine. Not a mere card trick!

[mscrankyjack]

I love you, derren brown.

[keilan303]

1:30, he's pulling her card out from under the table ;)

[oscarnodiaz]

Wrong

[Neefeye]

no, hes puttin it in his sock!!!

[sammysamosamuel]

does anyone anywere know how this trick is done?? if so please pm me with a link or somthing.

[windalfinc]

i don't have any link. but you can buy Derren Brown Devil's picture card. He reveal this trick in that video.

[MacUserLogic]

look at the time at 4:26 you can see him pull the 14th card from the bottom of the deck, she could have called any number and it would still been her card. 5:26 you can see him use the other hand (right hand) to replace the cards under the box while they watch his left hand. 5:45 he picks up the box and puts the top 3 cards back into the box. they think their cards are still on the table but they don't know, you can't see the face of their cards

[linceed87]

lol. wrong

[Matzes]

greatest card routine of all time

[Tommy1919x]

sick tricks

[fishistheice]

7:30 "It maakes no sense!" ... I love Derren Brown ^^

[mikey0892]

1:23 he changed the card under the table

[rish000]

this trick is called 'the haunted deck' you can buy it at any magic store..use invisible elastic loops.

[ReenRune]

Not in this trick

[TheHolySpirit]

You can buy the DVD from the products section of Derren's co uk website which has the explanation in great detail. It's not for beginners though so unless you're familiar with card magic already it'll be unlikely that you'll be able to perform this particular trick.

[pepitojoe]

5.26 you can see him replacing them! great trick !

[MacUserLogic]

haha so true, he uses his right hand when he's putting the box back, he slips 3 cards back in. Nice eye

[MacUserLogic]

haha so true 5:26, he uses his right hand when he's putting the box back, he slips 3 cards back in. Nice eye also at 4:26 he's pulling the card from the bottom of the deck

[oscarnodiaz]

4:26 there is NOT a bottom deal. Wouldnt be that clean. REmember she's just shuffled as well.

[Balthemos]

wow he rules..i read his book too, great!! thanks for uploading this!

[celticghirly1916]

thats superb! He says in his book that the part of this kind of magic he loves the best is doing the slight of hand right in front of their eyes, then making it look good by fluffing it up a bit. He was so blatent, yet still so brilliant!

Genius!!

[fishistheice]

He is an absolute master of this art.
