Another card trick - Awesome!

[kidestranged]

I know there have been a lot of card tricks posted here recently but this one really gets me. How on earth does he do it?

Trick

EDIT: there are obviously more than four cards being used because the last one that he selects is a group of cards that he throws on the bottom. If you look closely, it seems like he dumps the extra cards along with the second king. I still don't get the trick.

No there is only 4 cards. A 2, a 10, and a diamond king and a clubs king. He just has a lot of talent. Btw, this was just posted earlier

You are the most depressing card shark ever. That trick made me want to die. Please do not practice prestidigitation any more.

keep posting illusions and magic...i love em.
I also agree, theres 4 cards, the ace and etc gets repeated, the guy is just quick...real quick.

Both tricks are sweet

Those are neat tricks, wish I had the talent to do them.

Moonshyne is right, only 4 cards, the 2, the 10, and the two kings. When there's a close-up of his hands, watch where his pinky and ring fingers go. It's all just sleight of hand.
I know a good deal about card tricks, so here's what I think is happening:

Part 1: Deal out 4 cards. 2 of hearts IS on the bottom (no trick yet). Now, *reverse* the order of the cards (sleight of hand allows him to place the 2 just below the top card, which we think is the 2). Flip over the *top* card (actually the top 2 cards, showing the 2 of hearts only). Put the top card (remember, not actually the 2 of hearts) on bottom, so the 2 of hearts is now actually on top.

Part 2: 2 of hearts is put 3rd down in deck. Snaps his fingers, and the 2 is magically on top (actually flips over top 3 cards, only showing the 2); sets top card (not the 2) on table, 2 is magically on top (actually grabs top 2 cards); he continues doing this pattern of sleight of hand.

Part 3: 10 of spades. It's actually 3rd down in the deck. Repeat what happened above, except on the last try, he sorta jumbles it and you can see that he sorta throws the 10 into his hand. Then the 10 is on the bottom, and he *shows* you all the cards, when he actually is just showing the bottom card and grabbing and moving the upper cards (you can see this if you look closer).

Part 4: The kings. Pulls 2 cards from bottom, the bottom of these 2 is a king, so he shows you the king and moves the top card. Does the same with the other one, so now you have 2 kings left, and voila!

At least that's what I think.

It's actually a really good trick; it definitely surprises you at first. I think I'm gonna try this and show it off around campus.

whats the title of this trick? i work at a magic shop and we are always interested in getting new stuff in (books, packets, decks, etc)

I saw change the direction of the cards so that could have something to do it. Also, when he snaps his fingers..his other hand bends the cards so i think he is picking up 2 cards instead of just the top like Zach said.

the name of the first trick up top is called jumping gemini by Darwin Ortiz.
the trick is shown and explained among other great tricks in Michael Ammars Easy To Master Card Miracles Vol 6
