  • This trick is wellknown as the worlds best card trick

  • @Noreply14 yes it is thanks to a particular YouTube video, but I put mine up under this name because it's the original name

  • u could do better

  • Always

  • Huh. I always thought this was called Red Hot Mamacita.

    Nice performance though. I usually couple it with a full deck color change for an opener, followed by one or two ACR repetitions, and then the trick itself.

  • That is the name for the variation they sell on Penguin Magic, which incidentally requires more than just a deck of cards. There are a TON of variations on this trick but this is the original version and name from way back when that is done entirely with normal cards and sleight of hand.

  • The second force needs improvement. Try a bottom force with deck tap time misdirection. The cut before the riffle force needs to be spaced out with more patter before its is done to avoid connecting the dots. Good job on the routine

  • Cool trick, definitely going to try that, I might be using different sleight from guessing but it seems really simple and I can pull the effect off. Also gets set up perfectly after revolver.

  • It's a good opener, definitely, but you could indeed do better. Not too hard to figure out, at least not to the reasonably trained eye. But it's all about the performance and the speed at which you perform certain moves, so you did a pretty good job here. Didn't know the original trick was done this way, so thanks a lot for posting!

  • you can use any force

  • yes it is

  • this is not the "worlds greatest card trick"?

  • 5/5 my friend, but COMMON it IS a great trick. See my version. I seriously use Red Hott Mamma (What I prefer to call it) as a opener. It's a very good to the point card trick. I hate in tutorials it's call "The World's Best Card Trick". Myself with my tricks I rename them to people can't view tutorials. Cool my friend.

  • around 1:00 "say stop..right there?" let me know if I'm wrong
