bad ass card trick.

Easy to figure out, tough to do.

 

A deck of cards comes pre sorted, and it's possible to "shuffle" a deck without disrupting the order. That's the type of shuffle he does the most in that video. WHenever he does riffle the deck, you'll see him taking a peek at the cards so he knows what order they're mixing.

 

As for the cutting, when he collects the halves of the deck, he doesn't let them completely line up. Then he does his 3-block walk, each time flipping the halves over each other. An odd number of flips after the cut will return the deck back to the way it was. The last guy to cut almost put a wrench in his works by aligning the halves, but he managed to stop him before he lost the split.

 

Lots of practice needed for this, but it relies on basic card handling tricks.

That is the way I saw it as well. Guy at the end almost fucked it up.

i dont htink the blue card was the 8... he grabbed it funny

 

My theory...

 

The blue card is already in the deck. Pre picked. The blue card is then placed while shuffeling right overtop of the picked card. both cards are fliped to give the illusion that the blue card is actully the 8, hence why he doesnt just remove it while theyre all spread out. Then its removed FACE DOWN. This part is only for "proof" to the audience. He again has "placed" his card in the deck and does the trick again w/o someone picking it. No blue card comes up, but it doesnt matter because the blue card is the same as his "proof" card.

 

The deck has 53.
