Are those Magic Castle playing cards? Nice.

Yes they are

An excellently executed trick with grace-like card control.

The only thing that stumped me was when you mixed the face up and face down cards. Stripper? Or something else?

tWhatever, you did the trick superbly.

[MagicianLChan]

Thanks. No this was not done with a stripper deck. I used Vernon's "Triumph Shuffle" as described in the "Stars of Magic" book.

It is in a book called "The stars of Magic". Or you can look up the "triumph shuffle" by Dai Vernon.

@shiftDOT,

You maintain a "break" above the chosen card and then get it to the top of the deck using small cuts, with the final cut being at the "break", where I also performed a false cut which is optional.

Sorry I have no idea where the full version of the song is.

[shiftDOT]

amazingly done! 2 questions though..

1: how did you move the chosen card to the top of the deck [0:27 - 0:37]? what's this technique called?

2: is there a way to get the full version of the song in the background? searched around at music shake and couldn't find it :(

[reluba]

can anybody tell me how to do the shuffle from 0:42 ?

Nice performance of a great trick by The Professor. Although the hard table you were working on was probably what caused the sloppy pull through shuffle. Apart from that, pretty nice. I'll be getting this book soon purely for the Vernon effects. Check out my videos for performances of Vernon's card effects.

Between 1:13 and 1:14 you expose the ace, try to be more careful. And when pushing the cards before that, also try to do it less obvious. Despite that, well done, it's a very nice trick. Keep up with the good work!

[nhanngx]

you flashed a bit when you do the triumph shuffle, just be more careful with that so people won't figure out how you did that move :p

[Sean53417]

hey nice job! the strip out could use a bit more finesse tho..as well what I recommend is let the image of everything being mixed together settled for a moment in the spectators mind before you do your spread/reveal..that will built tension and focus and make the climax much bigger! other than that, well done!

nice to see this done as described in the book, only just got the book and began practicing the shuffle, roughly how long till you got the shuffle that good?
