The Amazing Card Trick

[WoogieNoogie]

I have figured out how http://www.ebaumsworld.com/invisiblecards.html is done. Anyone else? :D

[appleb]

By the handling of the cards it looks like there are at least 5 aces in that pile, and a lot of amazing sleight of hand.

As a crappy amateur magician myself, I've done a lot of tricks for people to have them say "Oh I know how that's done". And when they explain it to me, they are completely wrong. You think my deck is nothing but 52 duplicates of the five of clubs? Uh, sure... whatever you say. It's frustrating because you did all the practice and they belittle it to something silly like that.

My point is, it's easy to say you know how a trick is done, but a lot of the time it's wrong. And a good magician won't tell you're wrong, because they're not supposed to reveal their secrets anyway.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I've done some good card tricks in my day and people think they know exactly what I do, and when I do the actual switch, they don't catch it.

But I do know this one for sure. Once you watch for what he does, it's easy to tell.

There were only four aces, but there was also one dud card, in this case, the 8 of spades if i remember correctly. Every time he said he palmed the card, he never actually had it in his hand. He dropped it back into the hand holding it. The ace was already on the table on top of the other. All he had to do was slide it off.

yea I believe when he says he does that all the time

that's cool, but it still doesnt explain how he made the 8 of spades always disappear from his hand :banghead: it's going to bother me for days now

[WoogieNoogie]

It always hid behind one of the aces. Then, at the end, he just put it on top of the deck.

[marcus]

cool trick...i have no idea how he does it......but the best part is the begining when he shows his first empty palm and you hear those two gasps in stereo.........he's good at magic but he needs to work on not saying honest/honestly in every sentence

[WoogieNoogie]

I think it helps add to the "mood"...if you will.

I didn't know Clay Aikan was a magician!

[Sofa King]

yeah that's exactly how he did it. he's very good at making that one slide off
the top. really quick.

you can tell when people are handling a card that is actually 2 cards. they hold it in very specific ways so that the cards don't slide apart.

this is the danger of letting somebody video your trick though.

Just as everyone says, there were 5 cards to begin with.
The fifth card is the dud card that he put on top of the deck at the end of the trick but he never removed the ace. As the guy posted earlier and what others had implied earlier, the trick is called a double lift.
Meaning, you pick up two cards instead of one, but it looks like you only picked up one card. This takes shitload of skill to make it look like u only picked up one card cuz the shit keeps sliding, so i'll give that kid credit for having massive skill in handling cards. Not to mention he was holding 5 cards at once and had to make it look like he was holding only four. But if you watched closely, like the others posted, he did hold them in a certain way and deal the cards in a certain way to make sure he pin pointed two cards a dud card or either way to make it look like one which is the key to the whole trick.


If you watched closely, when he kept switching the black aces with the red, you noticed the first time he switched the aces, the cards actually touched each other, that must have been the time he put the red into the deck of black aces, and then all he had to do was place the already 3 aces on the platform (the dud card and the last red ace in the other hand made it look like it was the two red aces, but he did the switching during the "switch") -this is where the double lift comes in, he makes it so he only put two cards on the table when it was actually 3- and then as the other guy mentioned earlier, he never had the card in his hand in the first place, he just slides the red ace off the others to make it look like it just reapeared.

You know how i know this works? One time i picked up two cards from a deck making it look like i only held one, and showed a friend the bottom card. I then placed the two cards back on top of the deck (the bottom card that was showed is still under the first card) and then snapped my fingers and told him the card has changed and then i picked up the top card from the deck and sure enough it was different. He was amazed. This just shows how easily ppl are fooled the first time. Of course he asked me to do it again, and i of course said no. LOL!

I know the solution is hard to follow becuz you don't have it in your mind like I do, the visualization at least. But only cuz i've downloaded from limewire this one video titled "david-blaine-do you want to learn street magic well her is it(not david blaine it is how to card tricks)" shows how someone does card tricks, the "double lift" was featured. And once i saw the invisible cards trick movie again, you can start to deduct he does it(watch it a few to several times to see each move he does and how sneaky this guy is once you know how the double lift is done). So go download the solution (for free) from limewire or sum source or maybe try it on your own and see how it looks and then watch the video again, the double lift is a possible key solution to the whole trick.

Does anyone know how Ray Raphaeli did his card tick? That one i really can't figure out!

I figured this one out a long time ago. kd = king of diamonds, kc = king of clubs, 2-card = 2 of hearts, 10 = 10 of spades:

1) Deal 4 (starting from first card dealt to last card dealt)- 2-card,10,kd,kc
2) show 2-card on bottom
3) reverse by moving bottom 3 to top, middle 2 to top, 2nd card to top
4) show 2-card on top
**ORDER SHOULD NOW BE 2-card,10,kd,kc**
5) move middle 2 cards to bottom making it look like first is being put on bottom
6) flip top 2-card AND show
7) fan out bottom 3 to show none are overturned
8) move 2-card to 2nd from bottom while cards are fanned (not supposed to look magical)
9) flip top 3 to show 2-card
10) discard top card
11) flip top 2 to show 2-card
12) move top 1 to bottom
13) show 2-card
14) move 2-card to 2nd from bottom making it look like it is being put on the bottom
15) flip top 2 to show 2-card and flip back around
16) discard top 1
17) show 2-card on top
**DO NOT SHOW OTHER CARD**
18) put 2-card under remaining bottom 1
19) move those 2 cards to the bottom of the dicarded pile
**10 MUST BE 3rd CARD**
20) flip top 3 to show 10
21) slide top 1 over and flip 2nd two as 1 card to show 10 as the 2nd card
22) slide top 2 over and flip 3rd card to show 10 as 3rd card
23) shoot 10 out and flip to show as 4th card
24) put 10 on bottom
25) hold 10 and slide top card off into other hand and show 10
26) hold 10 and slide top card off into other hand and show 10
27) hold 10 and slide top card off into other hand and show 10
28) move 10 to top of other hand of discarded cards
**ORDER SHOULD NOW BE 10,2,kc,kd. THIS IS NOT CORRECT THOUGH AS THE 2 AND THE KC SHOULD BE SWITCHED AROUND. JUST IMPROVISE TO MAKE THE SWITCH, THAT'S WHAT I DID**
29) move bottom 2 to top AND flip to show kd
30) discard top 1
31) move bottom 2 card to top and flip to show kc
32) discard top card
33) flip bottom 1 AND show as kd
34) flip remaining card to show as kc
