    Hope you enjoy this tutorial!
    After you’ve learnt the methods and have done the trick loads of times as I have. You be able to quickly count the key card position while the cards are spread on the table even after the spectator chooses the card! It’s such a fun trick!

      Hi Steven, in your performace you did not look at the cards face up after the shuffle, please explain?

      I think people are trying to say that in the performance you didn't peek at the key card at 26th position. You just shuffled the card and went straight to the part where spectators select the card! When did you peek at the key card without turning the deck after the spectators shuffled! People are asking about that!

      @@mkctaskin52 Exactly. What kind of black magic is that?! The shuffle at the start looks legitimate so it cannot surely have been pre-set for that opening demonstration and the cards are never examined after that point. So how is the card at the 26th position determined in order to eventually end up with the Two of Hearts?

    I can't help but notice your performance didn't use either method explained in the video. You start with your "spectator" shuffling the cards and then you go straight into the selection. Your performance didn't have an opportunity to look at the 26th card. Can you explain that please?

    • @steventaputoro
      @steventaputoro  23 дня назад +7

      Sure! I used the basic method. I’ve been doing this trick a while. I’ve learnt to count quickly to the 26th card with the cards spread on the table :) After time you’ll be able to quickly count.

      @@steventaputoro The point I’m trying to make is in order for the trick to work it’s necessary to have a key card prior to the trick starting.The two ways this can be done (as you explained) is either you plant a key card of your choice before the trick starts and the spectator can’t shuffle them OR you fan through the cards AFTER the spectator shuffles in order for you to get a peek at the 26th card under the guise of “getting a feel for them”. Your performance did NEITHER of those. You state during the performance at the beginning that the spectator shuffles the cards (which means you don’t have any knowledge of what the key card is, correct?) And then proceed to immediately, without fanning through the cards to peek at the 26th card, obtain a selected card through the process of shuffling and cutting and so forth. At that point, the cards were shuffled fairly by the spectator and the spectator has a card in mind without you as the magician EVER looking at the faces of the cards to obtain the needed key card. Am I making sense? I’m sorry this is a long comment I’m just trying to understand.

      @@unsafechain1329 I wondered the exact same thing. Unless he started with false shuffles (which it didn't appear to be the case) I'm not sure how his explanation correlated with his demonstration of the trick. Based on his explanation, the “basic” method does not allow for initial shuffling of the entire deck, as shown in the demonstration. I am curious about this as well. Even still, thank you, steventaputoro, for the trick.

      @@bryanbuckles3864 i think it must be something to with video editing, but it is misleading, at no point does he peek at the cards after the shuffle, so there is no way to know what the key card is, unless as previously suggested, the card was already placed in the pack and he false shuffled them to maintain its position, but looking at the shuffle i dont think that was the case.

    Good trick. I like it and I'm sure it will become part of my repertoire. However, I think you should explain what happens if and when counting the 26 cards after you locate your key card there isn't enough cards to complete the count straight away. In that case, you just continue the count starting from the face of the deck. Less experienced magicians probably won't know to do this. Yes, good trick. I like it! Thanks for sharing! P.S. I like the fact that you have a copy of 'Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic' on the shelf behind you. I give a copy of it to all of the new magicians I meet. Heck, I still refer to it myself at times and I've been performing for over 25 years now.

    Good trick (“less is more” style)! Only a remark: sincerely I have no idea how it’s possible to know the identity of the top-26 (key) card following your presentation. That is with two overhand shuffles ( but not Ireland style in order to maintain 26th in its position, peeling cards one by one near the center…). So your version is unexplainable to me!!

    I earnestly feel you should have a relook at your tutorial!
    Is the Selected Card will be at 25th position or 26th?
    Let me recall the steps involved in the tutorial:
    Pick the cards in the following order,
    1. Cards 10 and 20 are held by the spectator.
    2. Card 22 is given to the magician, who has the Key Card (KC) at the 16th position.
    3. The top card of the pile of 10 is the Selected Card (SC) by the spectator. He places the pile of 20 on top of it.
    4. Then, the magician places his pile of 22 on the combined pile of 10 and 20.
    The order of the piles is now: 22-20-10.
The positions of the Key Card and the Selected Card in the deck are 16th and 43rd, respectively. There are 26 cards between the Key Card and the Selected Card.
    At this stage, cut the deck roughly in half into two piles (say..) of 24 and 28 cards. Place the pile of 28 on top of the pile of 24, as demonstrated by you. Now, the positions of the Selected Card and the Key Card in the deck are 19th and 44th, respectively.
    This leads to the following order: 18-SC-24-KC-8. There are now 24 cards between the Key Card and the Selected Card.
Hence, counting after the Key Card up to the Selected Card, it will be the 25th card and not the 26th. The Selected Card will be 26th only if we start counting from the Key Card.
    Can you please check and clarify? Thanks!

    • @awkaos
      @awkaos 2 дня назад

      Yes, the 25th, not the 26th. Watch him as he counts to the "26th" at 6 minutes -- he throws in an extra count. It is the 25th.
