Ego Slip card manipulation - performance and tutorial

[joshgillespiewolf]

You shouldn't teach something you can't do.

[InvisibleSleight]

Your hands are way too awkward. Work on card maneuvering and smooth things up. It'll take you're magic to a whole new level.

[Begoly]

stupid

[mrbusters]

Thanks. How do you keep your finger from slipping on the card when you push it? Every time I go to push the card out of the middle my finger just slips on the card. Maybe I have dry hands......I'll put some lotion on and try again.....what do you think?

[ThePersica]

worst handling!

[justin900]

sloppy..

[brynthevagrant]

Exposing magic only hurts the art of magic. Daniel Garcia is a talented artist and he sells his effects to make a living. By exposing this you are stealing from one of the best/ nicest guys in magic. This is not ment as an insult, I applaud your passion for magic, this is just a plea to remove a tutorial for a move that is not yours to reveal. All the best.

[everythingstupified]

Dude, seriously. Learn how to handle cards if you post videos. Otherwise, it's a fail.

[briang1172]

having read some of the comments, i would like to say thanks for showing it to me. i am just a begginer and i have found it useful. as for the copyright issue, so what. i will be buying all the books that i can on card manipulation, however while i am waiting for amazon to deliver i can practice what i learn on the internet. post another one mate. i play the guitar and my performances are not highly polished either. cheers.

[behindDkeys]

whooops :D

[classiquai]

snap change is easier than clicking the thumbs up for this video

[chainerd]

just so you know "over and out" is a contradiction, it's either "over" or "out" in a military sense, which is where the phrases come from they're radio com phrases, "over" means it's your turn to talk, and out means the conversation is finished, so saying over and out is like saying, it's your turn to talk, the conversation is finished... just so you know. also I suggest polishing the trick more before you post.

[paku92]

-.- practise more it's clear the trick

[hellbound102]

seriously, i never planned on watching the tutorial cuz i didnt know it was a tutorial till i clicked, so i was gonna watch the trick, and it was oh so obvious what he did the minute he did it i busted out laughing and my mom and my dad sitting in the room here looked at me like wtf? if your gona try to do a trick, you need to practice it more than twice before you use it

[DavidKevlar272]

16,666 views......creepy

[krswoodward]

alright the is why they say pratice first if this is the hardest thing youve done were gonna have problemno offense but have you don it in the miirror you could always use camera cuts like chris angel LOL!

[ICauseMouthCancer]

he said he was theeggmean85......its theeggman84

[lucasadverse]

watch

/watch?v=FEy4bV4tIlU

[DimitriTheDealer]

dont do this move too fast just let it flow

[7thLunaDancer]

the best way to fucking learn is to teach!!

[tricksshomagic1]

your not even holding the card the right way.buy daniel garcia dvd

[stillerman69]

ya true we do need to get him a brad christian dvd or even my boy daniel garcia. lol

[goalieman3235]

Damn...give the guy a break...if you think he is so bad get off his page and make your own video, and prove to us how amazing your skills are.

[stillerman69]

dude slow the fuck down. your goin so fast to hide the move. why dont you learn it really good so you won't have to go fast and cover it up. by goin fast you r making it look so suspicious.

[AsCpEaOdFe]

I guess we need to buy him a brad christian video so after an hour or two he knows how to DO A MOVE SMOOTH

[ColdHearted]

this is by far the worst magic video ive seen.

Jesus christ, daniel garcia should quit magic if he inspires doofus's like this to post videos on youtube.

[forthewest]

1:48 - Error - System Shutdown

[TSsun]

dude...wtf

[AmpollaDiVater]

0:39 and 0:50

FAIL!

[TSsun]

LOL

[JLGM42]

if DG saw this i think he would cry

[spvn]

Your movements are anything but smooth...

[Techdecknoob21]

WORST I MEAN WORST WORST WORST CARD HANDLING IN THE WORLD jesus your cards are in good shape to (surprised)

[alakasammagic]

could you please do a tutorial for clip shift

[unnnamedkariaka]

nice example of the worst handling

[Saladzingers]

Another question: Why do you think it's cooler to never learn stuff properly and play at being teacher, rather than actually put the work in, get good and then perform for people, which is what magic's all about?

A few other questions: "I don't think it's that well kept a secret" - so that makes it ok to steal it and put it up on the internet? Why do you think secrets are so hard to keep these days? Perhaps because of videos like this one?

If you love magic, RESPECT THE CREATOR!

[getneducated07]

THOSE WHO CAN DO, DO

THOSE WHO CAN'T DO TEACH

you dont have to be an expert to teach something i learned how to do it from watching this video

[Saladzingers]

A few questions: If Daniel Garcia ran a sweet shop, would it be OK to steal sweets from his shop and give them to other people? If not, why is it OK to do it with magic?

Another question: why do you think you're qualified to teach people something you've only known for 3 days? Especially when you've learned it online so you don't even know for sure how it's done properly.

[AmpollaDiVater]

One of the worst handlings i've ever seen

[mfven923]

whether you learned it online or not, it's clear that you have the same amount of respect for magic that the other guys that you learned this trick online from did, which is none...way to keep the art of magic alive there slick. not to mention you did the effect poorly, you should be ashamed...

[MacGyverMagic]

No matter how many times Daniel Garcia performs it, I can't see how he does it. When you did it, it was quite obvious -- more practice is needed I guess.

[l0ling]

wow u wankers that say don't post if u can't do it, just don't watch than if u r watching u obviously need the help to. Hes got the technique right just needs practice so it helps people that don't know how to do it. so shut up moron

[PappaTheo]

U suck...

[Pampangamagic09]

putang ina ka anung klasi kang magician?u dumb ass faggot dirty perfrmnce at all..quit magic man

[SplitSpades248]

cool

[sicanx]

hehe ty it was a nice tutorial .:=)

[skillsplay57]

nice video dude and don't care about the rubbish comment

[Chupaskabra013]

Most of these commenting on here are assholes. I got a good benifit outta watching this vidoe and I learned this trick. I'm glad you posted it and If you have more keep 'em comin'

[yeahbro12]

omg dont reveal when you cant perform it yourself. U Phail.

[CrackaCallum]

And YOU cant spell "fail"

[l00l20r2]

what he said was true and clearly he spelled fail wrong on purpose, i do that sometimes aswell

[richishard]

your eggman 84 not 85

[RenegadeCraig]

In all your videos you say eggman85... your 84

Chck my vids out

[backflipboynetwork]

ur right

[michaelthemindfreak]

this ok but i think you should practice some of the moves like the 3 packet cut flourish (cant remember the proper name lol) and people who are sayin he is crap are wrong he managed to teach the move just practice ure sleight of hand a bit more

[Tomb611]

your the eg man 84 not 85 lol

[tiomon37]

your'e very stupid

[Exitmat]

...you're teaching a move you can't even perform yourself?

[bbyhsbn]

he's also teaching an art form he doesn't respect and sucks at

oh, and your patter is the dorkiest thing ive ever heard

[bbyhsbn]

oh and i love how you say newbies shouldn't learn this. thats hilarious considering what you are

[OliverFranzon]

thanks a lot man! this is going straight into my ambitious routine :D

[SyntheticZombies]

LOL at your lePaul spread, but major kudos on the snap change.

[CaMaverick]

OK, I'm not trying to hate on you but when you did the ego slip, are you honestly telling me you'd get away with that? The way you did was absolutely horrendous

[bgrissom14]

Nice vid dude, it explained it really well. Keep it up man, thx for your time.

[BP3291]

lol..tricked by mua ha ha

[benficaportugal]

nice vid

[drumerdrum]

nice microphone.

[CaptChris11]

good but you need to be faster because i saw you put the card on top

[salvationwar]

lol you didn't make that trick it's called the coffin change :P

[theeggman84]

wha? ok first of all i never claimed i made it, and its called the ego slip everywhere

[MrSamuelPascal]

@theeggman84 as used by danny!

[IllegalFairtrade]

n00b Fag. It's the ego slip. DUH!

[salvationwar]

srry dude that was my stupid nephew he thinks he's good at magic ...but he's not :P

[CaMaverick]

salvationwar, the coffin change and ego slip are 180 degrees different. Maybe you (or your cousin) were thinking of the ego change and coffin change? Both extremely similar

[theeggman84]

wait, why? does it really matter?

[calavera999]

It has nothing to do with copyright, its about keeping an art safe. Magicians who love magic realise that the art revolves around secrets. If you dont realise that and respect it your an idiot...

Just wait untill your showing soemone a trick in the future and they say "i know how thats done, i saw the explanation on youtube".

[vader180]

Sadly enough, that's happened before to me. I'm like "cursed youtube." I don't mind all the performances, because magicians can usually figure out a trick by watching it, and it's fun to post your own tricks on youtube...but the secret is what it's all about. Honestly, I was performing for people, and this foreign guy comes up in the crowd and yells how I do the trick...honestly, so depressing.

[froufratsa]

THANKS!!!!!!OMG THAT HELPED A LOT!!please post more tutorials altough i've been serching for a trick for 6 months..:( its called lazy mans card trick.(or maybe lazy magicians card trick). I f you know it please post a tutorial i would be so greatful:)

[holysmokes700]

Ok dude...Seriously...Those twitching fingers were annoying...You gotta have more fluidity in your motions, practice that spread cause it was blocky as hell and as you said: you gotta make the ego slip smooth...and yours wasn't at all.

Im not saying you suck, Im just sayin you gotta practice a little harder and get the movements down before posting a tutorial, cause it makes you look bad more than anything...just my advice...

keep practicing!!

[kyeruu2]

do retards like you exist like from the nothing?

"i know i can't do it well only known it for 3 days"

oh wow criticize him on 3 days...you suck dude gtfo..

[dragon521]

Dude, this is pretty bad. I just watched the performance part and could have learned just fine. And anyone that says U r TeH roxoRZ Fo dA vidz1!111 either is too poor to spend $20 on RRTCM and Erdnase (enough material for YEARS) or doesn't care about magic and the industry.

[bballplayer221]

Thanks when i first saw your videos i was kinda like oh this guy is so wierd but now i think that you are the best guy to learn card tricks from on youtube

[TheAJSystem]

is that seriously how you shuffle? You're trying the ego slip and the lepaul spread and you shuffle like my little sister. Wow thats rrally dreadful

[biscoito99]

thanks man ! keep puting tutorial here!

nice trick ;)

[vinnydakid]

I agree! Fuck all those losers who are gin=ving you shit for "pirating" a move. This is the information age and I for one love that you showed how to do it!

You rock!

[dukehousemagic]

2. Ignoring the fact that you are, in essence, "bootlegging" or "pirating" the move, much like someone would music or a movie, you are also ruining the effect of magic on any lay spectator.

My guess would be you are a young "card magician" wannabe, who rather sucks at handling and presentations, and has his tricks discovered most of the time.

You should learn to keep the secrets of magic, especially those that aren't yours.

[dukehousemagic]

(Before you try and make a smartass reply, note that I have not watched your video nor have any intention of doing so.)

I'm not going to tell you to remove this video, but you should consider what you're doing here:

1. Freely giving away a card move that is under copyright protection of a rather famous magician, who has chosen to SELL it, not give it away as a freebie.

[theeggman84]

ok thanks for your reply, just note that i usually reply in a smart ass way to those comments that insult for no reason.

[bmhall2]

wow that was horrible. Please do the move right before you post it. At least make it look real. Get the danny garcia project volume 2 it has this move taught in a routine called white or weat. It is great.

[theeggman84]

seen the trick, and remember, im only showing how to do the tricks. cheers

[CyrusTheVirus87]

I love how people think they are cool teaching and exposing moves from other magicians on youtube.

[theeggman84]

I love how you watch my video and take the time to comment on it :)

[sasukeXxFan666]

effin burned him :) good job dude thanx

[Johnvx]

you did do it nicely =)

[nubxpro]

remove this vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur doing it wrong first of all, second of all, some ppl payed 4 the daniel garcia project and dont want douches like u reavealing this stuff!!!!!!

[kennyisd0wn]

hmm i thought the slip is called eagle slip... but eagle and ego.. doesnt't matter

[magicwoman070]

dont listen to them man you could probably whip all of their asses in a magic off (such thing!?)

[hitachi701]

ok so now that you've been practicing put up a new vid of you doing it please.

[slipknot191919]

it was sorta bad but was still cool when i did it and i never herd of it till i saw your video

[tipsyisme]

yea worst performance ever but still... good tut.

You need to relax more when you do it though.

[madskills3]

Ok, Daniel Garcia did it good, you suck!

[theeggman84]

uh, thanks? would it hurt to be nice?

[guerrero332]

dude, atleast he's taking the time to do something nice and teach u, instead of u buying the dvd

[adamjskater]

why would you 'teach' a trick you cant do

[theeggman84]

cause that part doesnt matter... lol.

and i do it ok

[adamjskater]

it doesnt matter if you cant do it?? you cant teach somthing you cant do, you can only reveal the method, and why couldnt you at least wait a few more days of practise instead of messing it up

[theeggman84]

i actually think i did pretty good... what do you think?

[MitziAlbright]

I think you did fuckin boss, I watched this and learned how, i still cant do it very well but yeah your tutorial helped me alot man

[Tobelli]

worst performance

[theeggman84]

read the video description...

[darkpyro038]

dude why do you care about them..you still rock..anyway..the double lift was pretty obvious for bicycle man..but i was like shocked when u did that joker find card thing.

[darkpyro038]

erm nevermind lol..dude that gemini card and aces trick ownz man! watchin bicycle man now..long process..yeah. :)

[theeggman84]

[darkpyro038]

hey..can you make a tutorial on the something card flourish cut thingy?

[theeggman84]

???

[theeggman84]

I just wanna say that that was the crappiest le paul spread so dont go off on me for that reason...

[darkpyro038]

[theeggman84]
