- One of the top magicians in Australia, James Galea made his US television debut with some unbelievable magic. He impressed everyone with this amazing card trick that will leave you speechless!
The pace of this is what makes it great.
Amazing. No matter how many times I watch this it's always amazing. Not only is the card trick itself amazing, but the way he tells the story is also amazing.
I think my jaw just packed it's bags and moved out of my face
that's because you posted this 3 years ago in 2014
it's amazing that even if you know how the trick works and everything, you still get amazed by his smoothness and overall showmanship.
Don't really care how its done but the fact he pulled it off the way he did, damn what a boss
KevX1127 i can do the technique..but i could never perform it like he does..simply amazing..there is waaaaay more in a trick than the slight of hands..
Wait. What? All you people trying to expose how this was done; you mean this guy is actually manipulating the cards and using sleight of hand? And here's me thinking this was real magic...
how old are you dude :)))))))))
haudau naruto He was being sarcastic, most people on RUclips are
haudau naruto you got caught by the troll, kid
***** this comment combined with ur picture is in fact funny...
lololololol
Everybody needs a "WHAT THE HELL?" Card!
doesn't matter if it's easy or not. The way he performed it was amazing. good job
He prearranged the deck and every time he or she "shuffles" the deck he undoes it so that the cards will be in the order of his story.
The trick itself was about 6/10 but the way he preformed it was amazing. Bravo to him.
The 6 of spades is the key card for those wondering. It gives the information that you have to cut the deck in a way so it comes last because of the upper corner being slightly bent which is easy to see when performing.
SPOILER:
The trick uses no 'peeking' nor does his shuffling or cutting matter. Those are only there for looks and show to make you think the trick is random.
The bottom card is rigged to allow the deck to recover from simple false cuts. Notice he does no legit riffle shuffle. The shuffle in the beginning was false, and he used his speech and eyes to misguide Ellen and the audience. Every time he cuts the deck or has Ellen cut it for him, he grabs the stacks and feels for the bottom card in the middle of the deck which is easily found if a corner is slightly bent. From there he just cuts from below that rigged card and places those on top and everything stays in order. Everything else he does with the hands is basic false cuts that look fancy to the normal eye.

Enjoy
If we pause at 0:05 , we can see that the cards are in the exact same order as his "storyline" :)
Subhranil Banerjee Yeah, he has it started in that order. The first cuts he made right before he spread the cards is simple. He swapped the halves back right before he placed the stacks on top of each other on the table. You can see his hands cross back right before the first stack makes contact with the table. It just looks like a legit shuffle since he makes separation of cards and slaps them on the table for emphasis. The normal eye just assumes it's a shuffle because seeing the cards separate and come back together are the only significant parts of shuffle we actually remember. Like I said, the tricks uses no memorization of cards, no card peeking, no loose gimmicks, and no fancy cuts actually have to be done to impress the person. He just uses the cuts for show to further draw the idea of randomness. The whole trick is based off the bottom card.
I can actually appreciate the trick more now that you've told me the secret. His showmanship and presentation is just amazing to watch. Very well done.
johnnyboypv7 dat slight of hand tho
I've fallen down the rabbit hole of magicians on Ellen...
When you actually know what kind of trick or should I say tricks he uses, every move that he makes, actually does makes senses as to why he do it.
dont tell everybody how it works :D
DrumL3000 a magician never tells anybody the secrets ;)
This guy is a great magician. Fast paced and has his shit together. There are a few tricks with his base method, but this one is probably the furthest I've seen one go. Very impressive. I won't give much away, but I will say that you'll notice he only says to 'cut' the deck, and not shuffle. That's a major key.
Ooohh, I get it. I know a trick that uses something like that, but it's not nearly as impressive.
Yeah, you know what I mean eh? I've seen a few tricks with this 'story telling' method. I have never seen a guy go this far or do it as smoothly as this guy though! So good.
TheDruggyDrummer Well, not quite with the story telling thing, but with the method used to present the cards in the proper order.
Logan Monceaux AND remembering the story! :)
I agree, he's amazing!
Alone in my room... I just gave this man a standing ovation...
I know no one is going to see this comment but i love this trick! a few months ago i finally learned it for myself and it gets the best reactions! Hoping to one day get as good as this man here!
When this trick was made, no one knew what false cuts were. A few years ago you would've been mind blown
I prefer to just acknowledge how cool the trick was rather than ruining the wonder of magic for everyone else
Agreed.
Yessss he's nice, handsome, he has a beautiful voice... Wow
He messed up the trick and saved it before it could go wrong! Great Job, I love this trick. A good magician turns a mistake into a part of the trick.
When did he mess up ?
Ognen Lozanovski when Ellen first cut the cards and he went to pick to cards up he missed one. You can see him them search the deck to find its spot. He has even mentioned the error himself.
oh,i didn't catch it,thanks
+Michael Banks (Cruiseshipfan) Yeah, I was wondering that myself. Still, it's an awesome performance and he adds a nice touch with the WTH -card.
Easy. I can do that. Here, hold my beer.
I'm not entirely convinced this isn't sorcery.
"and I say 'What the hell are you doing?'"
lmfao. my favorite part!!
Very well executed. It isn't just memorising the trick, it's also memorising the story and throwing in a little hasty flair, which he did. I'll have to watch more of this guy.
Look closely at how he "shuffles" the deck at the beginning. He doesn't actually mix up the deck. And when Ellen is asked to cut it, he secretly peeks at the cards, then cuts them and puts them back to the normal order.
wow I dont know how you caught that but u are a GENIUS
James messed up one of the false cuts he was doing which left that single one out of order. The only reason he went through the cards was to put that specific one back in the right position. No "secret" peeking or any of that.
WOW all the hate just enjoy the entertainment :)
ikr
For me it's amazing how there was an error with the cut, but he kept talking in order to make it look normal.
this deserves more attention
He fixed the cut-fail of Ellen really good!
I agree! I actually missed the mistake the first time I watched this video since James covered it up so well.
:14 he spins both sides and does not shuffle them :17 he does not actually cut them :22 Ellen cuts the cards :24 He picks up the cards, looks at the FACES of the cards, looks where Ellen cut them, and puts it right back! The next 2 cuts im not sure
Yeah, I totally agree with you man. It's his confidence, showmanship and dexterity that make this trick awesome. It's like the ball in the cup tricks... we all know how they do it, but it's how WELL they do it that impresses us.
I love the magician..... he is stunning... his way of presenting is really cool 😎 !!!!
the idea is not shuffling the decks to miss the order thats it
Ugh even if he reversed the cuts a mess up in even one card would ruin the whole count for him!!! Just give the man a credit for being an awesome entertainer !!!
Absolutely Genius. Started to get GOOSEBUMPS half way through till the end.
The is the best trick I've ever seen in my entire life!
Don't care how he made it. It's amazing! :D
His surname is familiar in Malta I think he's malthese
even though he cut the cards again after Ellen did it for him, the magic trick was amazing.
That was AMAZING!!!!!
That was AMAZING!!!!
If you know anything about card magic at all this trick is all about the story. It's just false shuffles and stacking the deck, not hard to do.
You could practice the moves all you wanted but if you're rubbish at telling the story in a beautiful way, the trick looks bad.
every time Ellen cuts the deck he "uncuts" it afterwards.
Lol, he's little giggle and the way he said what the hell you doin just made me poop my pants.
That "WHAT THE HELL?" card really killed me xD
If he'd let her shuffle, he'd be screwed. All he was doing was reversing the cuts on a memorised deck, and distracting that action with the story.
ik, he had his cards in his order, the way he cuts it, they dont change. but when Ellen cuts them, he just places the 6 on the end and there is his story, its an easy trick :)
thanks for pointing out the obvious
Svere Style
Thanks for pointing out that I pointed out the obvious.
which is soooooooo easy right? you could do it, right?
Sid
With the same amount of practice he's had? Of course. It's just a memory exercise.
Dafaq find of witchcraft is this?!?!
Best thing I've ever seen.
I went to high school with this bloke! Not at the same time but i was a newb when he left, doing his magic at our open day!
thats really amazing !! Ellen was also speachless! :D
Top magicians in Australia? I'd say the world - that was simply amazing
That was so COOL!
just lovely, respect fellow magician.
still the best trick i ever seen
MINDBLOWN! so cool!
That was awesome!!!
5)Because he tells a good story as part of his routine, people are trying to connect the story to the cards faces, people are not noticing how he's pretending to cut the cards but really he keeps putting it in the order of his presentation.
A lot of people may say he "obviously" uncut the deck but who cares, he presented it really good.
Yeah we Aussies are just awesome
1. From the initial lay-down, the left-most card is a 6 of spades. That's the last card of the straight flush.
2. He actually missed to pick up one card then re-positioned that card (face-front) to its rightful place.
3. Quick, silly story amazes the audience, removes the attention to the cards' fake shuffling. The misdirection rule.
4. Great act.
Uh no. Watch the cards when they are played. Each card is only played once. Get your shit straight.
Mother of gawd. This is fantastic.
he's very humble :) VERY good attitude :)
At 0:06 , you can see the cards in order. The quad aces with an 8 and the straight flush to the 6 of spades, are at the top of the deck in order.
that was completely amazing
the moment when perform magic too and know exactly what he's doing
that was impressive..love it ...
Impressing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great show!!
That must have been a nervous moment. But he handled it extremely smoothly.
Whoa... that's INSANE!!!!!
DAAAAAMN IIIIIIIT, THIRD TIME OF THE DAY THAT I AM ON A ELLEN VIDEO, the worst/best is that I keep watching like 8 videos more and I get back to work lol
Luv this!! Awesome story!!!
I remember watching this on melbourne comedy festival a few years ago, and I still love this ^^
this is the sickest thing i'v ever watched!!!
02:05
The cards are sorted with the same sequence at the beginning of the video, and every time you take a cut it can be returned back by the 6 Spades because it is being bended from the top so it saves the sequence no matter how many times the cards is being cutted.
673 King street is an amazing trick and I like how he made the story a little original.
I watched this live 3 years ago :D
That was awesome, straight from the mother land. Go you Aussie good thing!!! ^_^
Nailed it!
hhaha that What the Hell card really cracked me up.
Still it takes a good eye to do that, very impressive talent.
i went on the pacific cruise in jan 2012 and he was on it!! :D he did this trick live!! it was so super awesome! :D
That IS unbelievable!
What's most impressive about this is how he remembers that story
2018 and im still amazed
At 0:12 he was shuffling the cards then just separated it and put it back to normal. I can't believe no one noticed this
I don't care if the trick is easy or not, but i love how he demonstrate that card trick. Its hilarious and entertaining.
This is a very simple trick but the way he performs the story at the high pace speed is VERY COOOl
Still a classic
How I see this trick done:
1) Use a stripper deck with the obvious gaff card
2) Stack the deck
2) False shuffles (Note that he does not follow up properly on the riffle shuffle)
3) The card he left out near the beginning is the marker card that he places back in the correct position in the deck, but in the opposite orientation, allowing a single cut of the stripper deck to bring the deck back into order.
4) Tell story
You want a cookie?
Yay
At 0:09, he 'shuffles'. When he is merging the two interleaved piles back together, the 'trick' is that he actually pulls them back apart. He screws this part up so bad he has to pause, look straight at the cards, and carefully pry the piles back apart. It's a disruptive act in the middle of what should be some really smooth sleight of hand.
Pause it at 0:05 and you can see the cards laid out in order, (For example the four aces followed by the "WHAT THE HELL?" card and then the 2-6 straight) As Oldbasstard4 pointed out, at 0:15 he un-shuffles his shuffle leaving his cards in perfect order. Then at 0:23 he leaves a card out before examining the deck and reordering it. This card is then placed at the bottom and after the cuts, is probably marked in a fashion to give him the correct order again at 0:40. The deck is back in order.
A Friend of mine did this one on me once. And i love cardtricks since then haha
that was amazing!
That is awesome!
Mind. Blown.
This trick is very old, his addition of the WTH card and all that cutting is all that's new. It was nice to see a classic being brought back.
1)cards are lined up in order they are presented
2)throughout this entire routine, false cuts are being performed (he makes it look like he's cutting the deck, but a)he's making you think you're cutting wherever you want but you're actually cutting to where you want him to,
I loce this trick! Learned how to do it awhile back and its one of my favorites!!!
Awesome!!! SO COOL
The deck is already set up the way he wants it. If u didnt know, he never shuffled the deck. He continuously cut the deck which does not change the order of the cards. To prove this- notice how in the beginning when he asks her to cut the deck, one card falls out on accident. Then he goes through the deck to put it back.
