Benjamin Earl's 4 Ace Reveal

This is my take on Benjamin Earl's fantastic trick that fooled Penn & Teller. Obviously my version is a little different (perhaps a bad idea) and easier. Looking back on the video I noticed that my palming was very bad but my hands are kinda small still, I hope it fools all of you! Best of luck to everyone!
BTW the music is "Little Less Conversation" by Elvis vs JXL

Penn argued the point of Ben using FC's (im not saying the actual name as it would ruin the sleight), and Ben denied it. Thus fooling Penn. You are using FC's, and may I say, you're not doing so very casually, you seem to have trouble with it. Also for the palming, since it was evident, you took too long with the cards their, I too have small hands, what I do is palm the card more to the left of my hand (Im left handed), but in your case, more towards your right. But practice makes perfect.

@Flamesyful Dude it was argued of "False Shuffles", false cuts. According to many card experts false cuts are counted as a completely seperate thing. Yes I wasn't great at false cuts back then but fuck it, i was pretty much starting to use them in my tricks! Thanks for the tip though, and I'll try and improve on this

At 1:31 you made a fatal slip, we can see you palming an ace. I think the whole trick is palming, and I'm gonna try to figure it out.. Anyway, can you post a tutorial? Thanks, keep up the good job!

[Batfoley]

@PsychoWingedFish Yeah I knw man! My hands are a little small for palming but I usually make up for it with patter!

[TheALmagician]

i prefer the table version, its way better!

[Batfoley]

@TheALmagician Yeah I knw! This is how i figured out the trick though and personally the best way I could do it at the start, Im way better at it now!

So, you are not an alien then.

@SuperDylankirk Buddy the trick is called the "Benjamin Earl Four Ace reveal", as in Revealing four aces. He fucked up cuz you could see the moves but where in the title does it say "Revealed" or "Tutorial"?

[SuperDylankirk]

that isnt a reveal idiot



[Cestdesconneries]

If you have trouble hiding a palm, work on the tenkai palm, after your hand is behind your back you can shift it into the appropriate possition. Just need to work on being casual bro, as Ponta the Smith mentioned in an interview "Smoothness, then speed" (or something like that, his japanese grammar made him seem like yoda). Ponta might do coin magic, but same rule applies to cards.

@adrixs also adrixs has a point, if you do videos like this your only ruining the magic if your flashing all over the place. Watch the video before you post it

tambien adrixs tienes un punto, si haces videos como este solo es revelando la magica, mirar el video antes de podendo la en YouTube...

[xBrad101x]

erm, ok lemme just clear this up...anyone who actually knows benjamin earl will know that there are 2 factors that make this trick...one is that the deck can be borrowed, and two is that the cards are shuffled by the spectator first, then the trick is performed...

I've spoken to a few other magicians about this and I do have my own method for performing the trick (although it's not the same as Benjamin Earl)

[adrixs]

stupid you are a minister, first that trick is not so bad and second you have to be given birth to reveal a trick in this way, idiot

[adrixs]

tu eres un reverendo estupido, primero el que truco no es asi y segundo muy mal parido tenes que ser para revelar un truco por este medio, idiota

[IronMarz52]

I've been trying to figure out this trick for eeks but haven't been able to do it. Can you please post a tutorial?
