These are some off the best false cuts I've ever seen. Most false cuts have so much going on that it immediately gives the impression that the performer can do whatever they want with the cards, which slightly breaks the audience's feeling of fairness. Not that this necessarily ruins or gives away anything, but even if they can't tell what's going on, they know something just happened that they couldn't follow. With how simple and clean these are, they should be a staple for anyone who uses cards. The last one, though, should be practiced quite a bit in front of a mirror or camera. It takes a lot of work to make a pass look convincing and natural without twisting your hands into a position that covers up the dirty work. Well done, sir, and thank you for displaying these techniques for everyone.
Wow, this video is so good, it made me instantly subscribe your channel. I am a magician myself for decades and I can hardly remember having seen a better lecture about false cuttings than yours! Not only do you show the most easy to do - and at the same time being very effective - false cuts, but you also even talk about the important psychological aspects of false cuts. That´s really great! I wish you a lot of success in your future life!
This was so much help. I never knew how to do a false cut properly... but thanks ti this video, I amaze all my spectators! Thanks so much! -Fan from Canada.
I'm just now seeing this. I have actually stumbled upon a false cut like this on my own. Not sure if it has been done before but its one way you have not mentioned and its super easy but looks more like a cut. I would like to show you but I'm unsure how.
I'm really liking a John bannon false cut called double Dutch atm. A nice and far more deceptive descendent of the ose false cut. Super low difficulty but looks like it must mess up the deck.
Hello Alex!(sorry for my ENGLISH) I'm Mike from ATHENS 1momths MAGICS TRICKS!! You 1 one of the person here cause I like and for this I ask you! What kind of BICYCLE price is really GOOD FOR TRICKS UP TO 20€AND DOWN THE 50€ OFCAURSE.!??? PLEASE MAN ANSWER AND IF YOU WANT SOME THAT I MADE 1 MONTH NOW! NEXT COMMENT:::
Alex ,here in GREECE I see DECKS FOR 250€..!!! HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENTS PALAYING CARDS IN THIS VALUE ?,FROM THE DECKS LIKE STANDAR OR LIKE 10€ DECK ?? THANKS!
These are great for performances where there are no magicians because as a magician I can see thru the cuts knowing it’s false. I accidentally clicked on this video and saw it and said oh false cuts and looked at the title lol but great cuts tho definitely
Same here! I've tried to use my Pinkie under the top portion where you have the break and then the ring and middle finger on top of the top portion squeezing the cards together, then as the top deck clears the bottom portion bring your first finger in under the portion you're pulling away from the top to keep the deck square and together! Takes some getting used to but it helps us short finger gang! lol
You can try to use Bridge size cards. These have shorter edges so I usually recommend this cards to short finger or little hands magicians. You can do it!
Talk about not being able to follow what happened! Can you please film overhead so we don't have to transpose a mirrored video with these hand and card movements.
Just what I was looking for this week, Alex. Thanks! Feedback- the background noise, while crickets are nice for relaxing on the balcony, were a bit distracting.
Rather than state the "obvious" such as "& now I shall cut the cards..." what I tend to do is *ASK* do you want me to cut or shuffle or both, then it's established in their mind that's what I'm doing beforehand. But I do also do the slow & deliberate thing & ask them afterwards if that shuffle/cut/both was fair which you demonstrate too, it kinda depends on how I'm feeling. - [& yes they do always say it's fine] - I do agree however that stating it is both unnecessary & bad & I also agree that when I first began I used to do it too but the more time you spend in front of a mirror or filming yourself the more you get to break down & remove anything clunky & pointless. I think I will only use the last one of your 3 to add to my repertoire though TBH anyway. Because I do have a great classic pass & thus was able to do it instantly & then kicked myself for not thinking of it myself...LOL. I don't like the in hand look much though so I'll use it for table work or use a spectator's hand to do it on in place of a table.
I hate to say it, but the second one *really* sucks. He describes all these fancy moves that go into it, and yet, when he puts it all together... it still looks like he's just taking the top half of the deck and putting it right back where it was. Maybe it's just the angle or something, but it didn't fool me even the first time he did it. Maybe it would have if I weren't anticipating a false cut, but the first technique was more convincing. The third technique is perfect, though...and of course it's the hardest one to do. Such is magic, I guess.
Hey Man... I would Like to buy your the Spread Card Trick u used against Shin Lim but Whenever I purchase my Debit Card has been Declined and Paypal did not work too... Is there anyother way to purchase the Item??? Ur Reply would Help a Lot Bro
in hands false shuffles would be cool, however i do realise that a lot of magicians have different variations and prob wouldnt want there ideas shared, heinstein, gray, truffle shuffle being some examples
Alex, i am a fan of you, so thx for all the tutorials, but in this tutorial you have a background noise that is terrible annoing (crickets?)... Also a tip: use a camera angle that looks down at your hands and not in front of you...this is mutch better to follow (left hand is on left side and not right..you know what i mean). PS sorry for my bad english...i am from Belgium ! Greatings !

Do a tut on your favorite false shuffles!!
Idk how to do a pass but managed to learn em all
Will you do some tutorials for more intermediate levels? Much love
Love your T-shirt Fig.65 from The Expert At The Card Table, where did you found it?

I'm really liking a John bannon false cut called double Dutch atm. A nice and far more deceptive descendent of the ose false cut. Super low difficulty but looks like it must mess up the deck.
These 3 are amazing buy I do the bad dub false cut by x cause I get to show-off charlier cut.lol
That last one in particular is devious! Where are these from?
I believe that first false cut was created by Bobby Bernard (it was published in Roberto Giobbi's Card College 1994). The other two IDK.
Thanks, get
What is the song that he use at the opening ?

THANKS!
Ur subscribers are increasing because u r uploading videos very fast👍👍
Sorry if my english is wrong
This was even better on the 10 time I viewed 🙂❤️
Wtf, that intro was goood
👌
These false cuts are why you should *always* require the deck to be cut with only one hand and the deck flat on the table before it is cut.
Cool vid and all but swing cut not kick cut
Im sorry i just cant make any of it cuz i have short finger
I'm 1 week in cardistry
This is a KitKat
I would like to watch this, but the background noise is too distracting.
These are great for performances where there are no magicians because as a magician I can see thru the cuts knowing it’s false. I accidentally clicked on this video and saw it and said oh false cuts and looked at the title lol but great cuts tho definitely
just the intro got my eyes bleeding
jeff buckley played almost every night of his life, so that he could be the best ...practice, practice, practice
2nd its the badest one
Cut the deck right? Dumasses!! 😅😅
Alex, I love the 1st & 2nd one I can't do the last one. I have short fingers. . .
Same here! I've tried to use my Pinkie under the top portion where you have the break and then the ring and middle finger on top of the top portion squeezing the cards together, then as the top deck clears the bottom portion bring your first finger in under the portion you're pulling away from the top to keep the deck square and together!

You can try to use Bridge size cards. These have shorter edges so I usually recommend this cards to short finger or little hands magicians. You can do it!
Its not that your hands are small, it’s the muscle memory on your forearm and fingers
So simple and so effective. It's absolutely incredible
Thanks for these! Where was this? W/those crickets or w/e, wow loud. But you spoke plenty loud enough though!
8:13 is the highest value lesson i have ever learned in magic.
😂same
Haha 🤣
Talk about not being able to follow what happened! Can you please film overhead so we don't have to transpose a mirrored video with these hand and card movements.
Loved it.....
Simple magic is always the most effective
isn't it called a 'SWING CUT'.....not kick cut!
like your vids by the way.
Just what I was looking for this week, Alex. Thanks! Feedback- the background noise, while crickets are nice for relaxing on the balcony, were a bit distracting.
4 years Im doing magic; and you're helping me to take me to a whole next level ;))
Awesome Alex you proved once again that you are the best!!! Love ya man........
Hello one of my mentor!
If you WANT TELL ME YOUR OPINION ABOUT MY MAGIC!,I'M A MAGICIAN ONLY 1 MONTH!!
TO THE NEXT POST..:::
Let’s not forget to credit, brother.
Rossini cut uses a “swing cut”.
But if you want to rename the move as a “kick”, that’s yours, man. 😂
MIND = BLOWN ..thanks, Alex!! Can't wait to perfect these.
Rather than state the "obvious" such as "& now I shall cut the cards..." what I tend to do is *ASK* do you want me to cut or shuffle or both, then it's established in their mind that's what I'm doing beforehand.

2:05 *swing cut*
FireCrafter There's different names for it

Now I see and yours CARDS!.
BUT HERE (ATHENS I CAN FIND MOST BICYCLE FOR THIS I SAID THIS IN MY COMMENT.!
Hey Man... I would Like to buy your the Spread Card Trick u used against Shin Lim but Whenever I purchase my Debit Card has been Declined and Paypal did not work too... Is there anyother way to purchase the Item???
Ur Reply would Help a Lot Bro
Lol, I somehow fooled myself while doing the first one. Had to pause to make sure I didn't actually cut it.
Nice bro
thanks for this Video
Thank Alex this will help me fool my friends
I had to watch how you nearly 100’s times to see it. Now 1000 tries for my hands and brain to barely recreate it
I couldn't for the life of me work that last one out. Filmed from his view instead of ours I might have done lol
I learned the last one and the second one and I did it the entire night playing poker with my friends and they didn’t notice once
in hands false shuffles would be cool, however i do realise that a lot of magicians have different variations and prob wouldnt want there ideas shared, heinstein, gray, truffle shuffle being some examples
Alex,..bro I love u so much. Such an awesome personality and skill. U explain it so good. Keep the good content coming
Lol 😝 It sounds like there is a family of 🦗 living in the 🎤 Love your videos Pandrea!
Omg dat background noise...
I love psychology, so this trippy casual cuts are incredibly satisfying to me, since the eye can't follow them
Is it just me or was one side of his beard darker then the other. It might just be the lighting
the second one really works? i immidiatly seen that false cut and im a non magician
Alex, i am a fan of you, so thx for all the tutorials, but in this tutorial you have a background noise that is terrible annoing (crickets?)...
Also a tip: use a camera angle that looks down at your hands and not in front of you...this is mutch better to follow (left hand is on left side and not right..you know what i mean). PS sorry for my bad english...i am from Belgium ! Greatings !
Nice, subtle, casual.
Прикольно, главное самому не запутаться
Thanks, Alex. Very smooth.
Has this ever fooled anyone in the history of humanity ?
Thank you
Dumb assssses hahahaha savage Alex

The second one i hadn't seen before, thanks. Great stuff Alex!
