    I found your channel and this trick today 2/27/24. After watching it a few times I broke out my deck and started learning it. I watched the video intently, pausing it at key places, making sure I counted and spelled correctly. It took a few times before I had all the counting/spelling and placement of the sections of the deck in their proper places. I'm now proud to announce, "I've got it!" Great trick! I have a function coming up on Thursday and I know this will be one of the tricks I'll have with me. Thanks so much! Now, time for more practice.

    I had forgotten where I first spotted this effect; I really enjoyed it! As luck would have it, you were the first one I located on You Tube. Great effect from a great teacher🎉
  • Such a clever trick! And I love your channel - thanks for your content. I spent about half an hour doing it multiple times and it’s so easy, really cool!

    Hello Matt. I'm 71 and just starting out "exercising my hands" learning a few card tricks. You get the honor of being the first trick to learn. It's amazing how easy it is and the great effect at the end is with one of those WTF? AMAZING trick. I can't wait to master it in a few... whenever. LOL. Great video. I Subbed, Liked. and don't know anybody to share it with - sorry. Keep up the great work. Thx.

    You don't need to reshuffle if the first card that matches the bottom card is too close to the bottom (as long as the next one isn't also). Let's say you want the bottom card x from the bottom, but the first match is not more than x away from the bottom. You can just: 1) push over the bottom card 2) push the matching card and all the cards above it onto it 3) push enough more cards onto that make the matching card x from the bottom 4) put that entire pile onto the table Using this technique, there's no longer a reason to limit the position of the second card to spelling the value of the first card because it's extremely rare for more than 2 cards of a given value x to be within x of each other. So you can actually have them count to the value instead. This seems "more random" because a participant can intuit that a card's name has only a few different lengths, but there are 13 different values. (Of course, you may either want to have the deck reshuffled if an A or 2 is facing, or else revert to spelling the value in those cases--1 or 2 cards isn't enough to deal off.)

    One of the best I've seen. It's got a card trick, a prediction and a nice 4 card reveal to close the deal all while making the spectator feel like they did it all. No set up isn't the right term. Maybe no pre set, because u do it after they shuffle. The deck can then still be in rotation for another no set up trick to be performed right after that one like maybe the round and round or something fun . I prefer these so I can do a few without having multiple decks of cards. Makes it seem much more magical because it's from shuffled cards and flows better. If you're changing decks between tricks you're done. They know that deck is rigged in some way and the illusion is lost. It's not magic anymore it's just a cool card trick. Please do more of these. I want to flush out a set of nothing but card tricks that can be performed with the same deck back to back. Know it seems simple to many but I'm just now learning. I've got 4 down pat and have done the 5th twice now and getting more comfortable. I need some more please?? I love how you do it and explain these tricks. Some of the other channels explain like you already know a lot about magic and want you to do special cuts and shuffles. Then they go thru it so fast you still don't get it. Pausing trying to get your cards to match theirs. No fun. I played along with your reveal and got it to work for me first time. Easy to remember too. You have a new subscriber now. Pretty please do more of this for those of us that aren't good at pinky breaks and the myriad of positions to hold cards I've never heard of lol.

    If you get a situation like that with your queens in the “what if” section, you can place the 2nd queen as your prediction card and then the 2nd and 3rd queens effectively swap roles. Looks more natural than reshuffling I think
  • Thank you so much man. First trick I've ever learned. You're amazing at explanations.
