1:30 the channel is probably growing so quick bc the tricks you explain are just absolute bangers, I love that you include a lot of gimmicks as well AND explain how to make them by yourself without spending a shitload of money
Thank you for doing this. I have never seen the tricks you perform before. Diabolical and uber-clever I watch and learn from you, Daniel Madison and Chris Ramsay.
I worked out a propless name divination. Next time I come across some one with a long name I’m going to try this out before divining their name. Kudos to you, Lloyd.
Very interesting concept. My only concern (as mentioned at 22:25) is that your performing this to a Western audience where most people have relatively long names anyway. Here in Asia, some of our names derives from Chinese characters and can be quite short. So maybe I rephrase it a little and ask them to think of someone with an English name, surname and Chinese name hence making it longer.
@@LloydB Depending on the country, you could rephrase it differently too. I know people from Thailand, Vietnam and India generally have very long names. Here in Singapore, we are pretty diverse in race so it should not be too difficult to hit the letter quota if we find to right phrasing or the right names.
@ 4:40 for those who doesn't understand what Lloyd is talking about here. I will help a little bit...lol "52 cards represent 52 weeks in a year. Red and Black symbolize night and day. The four suits represent the four seasons; there are 13 cards in a suit to match the number of lunar cycles and 12 court cards that represent the 12 months of the year. If you add up all the symbols in a deck they add up to 365." No disrespect Lloyd I'm just helping out a little bit better I hope you don't get offended you still made it the right way though the way you said it..🙂👍
Nice trick, but I think it relies on assumptions that only apply to certain countries. In some countries people don't have middle names and the names can become very short. I was able to complete a full name with "four diamonds".
It seems like a beutiful method. A bit of mental gymnastics for the spectator though, and my intuition smells a very high risk of failure, for the elements involved. But if it hit, it would truly hit!
I *think* I’ve figured this one out from the performance. But only because I happen to know the lengths of all the playing cards! (For a spelling trick) Haven’t watched the explanation yet, here is my prediction: Someone’s full name including middle will always be long. The example you gave of joe bloggs was an attempt to distract the spectator from this fact and make it seem like there are loads of possibilities, but you did this after you had already asked them to pick someone’s name including middle. The longest suit is obviously diamonds, and the longest 3 values are queen, seven and eight. And you very cleverly ruled queen and seven out. So in order to get as close to the length of the name as possible there is only one option.
@@LloydB Well I forgot about the three lol. But yeah looks like I was pretty spot on! It's a great trick and really fooling especially if you aren't expecting it to be a force, and you aren't super familiar with playing card spelling!
Sorry but when you are required to eliminate certain cards from the beginning, that’s a dead giveaway. And to make it even worse at the end, “if the name is too long just choose the card closest to it”, is another dead giveaway.
Love me a psych force (in fact, currently working my way through Pete Turner's Mind Games project and Dani Daortiz's sublime Freedom of Expression). So really want this in my toolkit. I'm just struggling slightly with the explanation. Maybe I missed a vital part of the video. I chose Christina Smith and couldn't figure a corresponding card. It seems like people will need quite a long time to work it out?
FYI: To be safe that this works, you ask the spectator to pick someone w/ a first, middle and last name so it is long enough. However, CHRISTINA SMITH works because it is 14 characters. The instructions are to find the card who's name is the same number of letters or as close as possible. Since the longest rank words are THREE, SEVEN, EIGHT and QUEEN (all 5 characters but Lloyd instructed you not to pick THREE, SEVEN or QUEEN, so you would pick EIGHT. The longest suit name is DIAMONDS (8 characters). So, EIGHT DIAMONDS is 13 characters, less than 14 but closest. That's the force. I agree w/ him that maybe it would be good to have a "cheat sheet" for the spectator so it is easier to work out but I might worry that if you listed numbers next to each word, you'd give away the trick. Maybe just the names as a guide is enough.
Hey, I saw that your previous video with the box gimmick and folded card is now private. I even commented on it and made my own gimmick. I wanted to perform with it, but I unfortunately I don't 100% remember everything. Is there a possible way I could rewatch the video? It would be very important 😞
Super interesting stuff Im actually thinking right now if i can adapt this to my language, because it can be kinda weird to present it in English to friends
Hey man you are on of my biggest inspirations for magic and I also have a question: What happened to the most recentTutorial Tuesday video and why'd it get taken down?
I hope I understand correctly (probably not 😅) because this is quite nice effect.. therefore I guess in dutch (my native language) this won't work since the card numbers does have other counts than in English even for the names of the figures which are equal length
In my country it will not work that well. Because the language is totally different and a lot of people don't even know the suits of the playing cards in english. The suits have completely different names, so it might not work
I was curious about tutorial tuesday I assumed you ran out of ideas😂I was off on that if it feels in your heart like the right thing to do it must be man good call
@@LloydB in this video autofocus was pumping I don't know why but maybe use eye tracking autofocus on videos where there are just faces. And spot autofocus where there are hands not heads. Iso 400-2000 shutter speed around 1/50 and f 4-8. In this video there are nice video settings ruclips.net/video/MTWmPTphjpo/видео.html
@@LloydB congrats on all the new subs! I sent the link to a friend and he wasn’t able to enjoy the build. I hope you can rework it with a different handling someday. Keep up the great work!
Broo... at least we fully understand everything, you should appreciate the time and work he puts in his videos. You don't need to watch it until the end if you don't want to, but I think an in depth explanation with uncut real life performances is much better then revealing the secret in 5 minutes. 🤷♂️
I realy loved this, but I dont know if I got this 😄 Lets say I am thinking of my friend Jolam Saxlunder Thats 5 and 9 = 14 Should I now find a card name closest to contain 14 letters in its name? Eg _Spader Åtta_ (Spades 8) = 10 characters. / _Spader elva_ (Spades 11) = 10 characters. Or should it be that Jolam's 5 characters, should give me the number closest to containing 5 letters? (Three) And the last name of nine characters the suit? Spader (6) Hjärter (6) Ruter (5) Klöver (6) Most of our numbers contain three letters: Ett, två, tre... the longest I could think of (that are in the range of how far the deck numbers go) is Fyra (4), Elva (11), Tolv (12) and Tretton (13) so, Jolam Saxlunder would give me the total of 14 characters to work with. This gives me 3 different suits to work with, and left me with the number Tretton. 6+7=13 Am I missing something, or did I understand the math correctly? If I go for Björn Ek I only have 7 letters in total =) I hope I have not offended you in any way, I just like to know if I fully have understod the method.
You're on the right path. You're supposed to include a middle name but that's only to push up the number of characters. You showed Spades 8 was ten characters (it's actually 11. 6 for spades. 5 for 8). the longest value is 5 (three, seven, eight, queen. the remaining values are all 3 or 4 characters). since you couldn't get to the 14 characters, you can't use spades. you can look at hearts but that's also 6 so it won't work. you can look at clubs but that's 5 so it won't work. that pushes you to diamonds. diamonds is 8. 8+5 gives you the 13. it's the closest you're going to get to the 14 (if you eliminate three, seven, and queen). There may be something lost in translation with the suits you're showing. I believe Ruter is diamonds and for you is the shortest instead of the longest. That's likely where you're getting stuck?
Exactly!! This is the sweet thing about it. Most people's names it wouldn't work with but I say "I know your name, so I want you to think of someone that you know their full. First, middle and surname." and very explicitly make them think of someone with a long name. This is how you can perform it for anyone!
You have a really good channel going. Excellent production values. I’ve really been enjoying. Beautiful wife is a lovely bonus. 😉 Keep up the good work. 💐😃🪄
Congratulations. Did you have a gimmicked box trick with a quartered card that switched cards and could be made in a minute. I went back to the video and it's now private and I viewable to even see the creator.
Sorry but when you are required to eliminate so many cards from the beginning, that’s a dead giveaway. And to make it even worse at the end, “if the name is too long just choose the card closest to it”, is another dead giveaway. Also the spectator having to count the letters in the name and having to count the letters of the card, makes this very clumsy. I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t catch on very quickly. If you didn’t eliminate so many cards at the beginning and didn’t end with “choose the card closest to it” at the end, it would be a good trick.
I think you missed a key moment in the video. By using short name examples, it shows the spectator that all cards are possible. Thus, proving to them that NO cards are eliminated. Also note, that they know I don’t know the name they’re thinking of. Go back and watch again and you’ll see what I mean. 🙂
Hence why you always ask the spectator to think of someone where you know their full name. "First, middle and last." This is what makes it work for everyone and anyone.
@@LloydB Sure, I get that. It was more of a warning because there's a chance that you could do the trick to him! 😂😂 BTW, sorry that you missed Magic Live. I hope that you are feeling well. Take care.
Each to their own. Obviously this is situational and chose the right spectator but ultimately, the reaction speaks for itself. There are more important lessons/principles to be learned in this video than just the core trick itself 🙂🙏🏻
Just being honest. I love your work, just not this one. Of all the millions of tricks you could perform, this one is just not good enough to use with so many better choices. It is just to sllllooooowwww and will lose spectators that were put in an uncomfortable situation of having to do stuff in their head, thus completely losing the entertainment value.
@@randbaldwin Thanks for sharing your thoughts man. Obviously, I disagree but that’s the beauty of magic. We all have different styles and preferences 🙂
If you didn't inspire from his payed trick then you should keep it on your page! If they see your free tricks and get inspired to come up with a payed trick, is it fare? Only they have the right to inspire from you? If you follow this stupid rules of the market, then in 5-6 years noone will have the right to post anything because all the tricks and the methodes "belongs to somebody else" who claim them. In this way, we kill our inventivity! Please, stop checking your emails several weeks after you post a new video! If it happens to be some similarities in the future, it's not your fault. It's not your job to buy every trick in the world in order to see if your tricks are not "belonging to somebody else"! Now repost your video. There happens to be other people who invented that trick before the one who claims it! For example I invented and I want that method to be free for anyone else. Please make it free!
This rant would have some value if you understood how a calendar works. The paid trick was out before the video. It's downright dishonest to claim the video inspired the paid trick. People wanting to respect others helps the community. People scolding others for being respectful bring humanity down. Be better.
@@natasftw it is so rude to say or think that everyone inspires from your payed products! Or to consider that noone should be allowed to think of your method because "it's yours"! If you sell your products does not mean noone in the future should have the same idea anymore! Be more polite and think you are not the only one who can make things in this world! You are not the only one who has the right to think and to invent. Ideas doesn't belongs to us. They come and go even when that ideas have been used several times before, WITHOUT even knowing that idea of ours have been used before by others!
@@natasftw no! By being rude means to not accept anyone else to have the same ideas as yours! In this way you block all the others development. Our own ideas should not be made proprietary. In this way you force an entire generation to slavery. Just accept there may be more than one people who think at the same solution in the same time. They both are equal and not the one who sell the idea first. We are only human beings. Our ideas doesn't belong to us. We don't make them. The ideas came to us and that's it! You cannot sell to me what it's not yours!!!
@@ionutvas6514 I'm going to assume English isn't your first language given these responses and do my best to break this apart for you in a way to help you understand what's occurring. After that, I'm out. Say whatever you want to make yourself feel better about how you've acted here. I've got other things to do. There are five people relevant to this conversation: Lloyd (LB) - The creator of the video above and the one you're concerned with Random Magician (RM) - Someone that sells an effect very similar to the one posted and then taken down Mutual Friend (MF) - Someone that knows both LB and RM You - Well, you. Me - Someone that has no connection to LB, RM, or MF but saw you posting something out of place. LB posted a video. RM felt it was too close to their idea and voiced this to MF. MF reached out to LB to let LB know RM felt bad about it. LB looked into RM's effect. LB felt they were too similar. LB chose to take down LB's video because LB felt bad about how it affected RM. You showed up and condemned LB for doing so because it didn't give you what you wanted. In this, you're disregarding RM's feelings. You're disregarding LB's feelings. You're also stating the impact to you takes priority over how LB wants to post his work. I showed up to point out you're not acting reasonably. You go on a rant about nobody owns ideas. In doing so, you're ignoring the time and effort both LB and RM put into their work. You're unwilling to go and find a method on your own. You're demanding LB give you his work. I point out you're being rude. You were. You continue to be so. You're acting like an entitled brat. Neither LB, RM, MF, or myself owe you anything. They can choose how to use their work as they please. You cannot demand anyone give to you what's not yours. By your own silly logic, you have no ownership over the idea or the content. You cannot demand it. Stop acting like an entitled brat. Stop being rude. Add to the community. Stop leeching from it.

Nice trick, but I think it relies on assumptions that only apply to certain countries. In some countries people don't have middle names and the names can become very short. I was able to complete a full name with "four diamonds".
It seems like a beutiful method. A bit of mental gymnastics for the spectator though, and my intuition smells a very high risk of failure, for the elements involved. But if it hit, it would truly hit!
I *think* I’ve figured this one out from the performance. But only because I happen to know the lengths of all the playing cards! (For a spelling trick)
Haven’t watched the explanation yet, here is my prediction:
Someone’s full name including middle will always be long. The example you gave of joe bloggs was an attempt to distract the spectator from this fact and make it seem like there are loads of possibilities, but you did this after you had already asked them to pick someone’s name including middle.
The longest suit is obviously diamonds, and the longest 3 values are queen, seven and eight. And you very cleverly ruled queen and seven out. So in order to get as close to the length of the name as possible there is only one option.

I realy loved this, but I dont know if I got this 😄
Lets say I am thinking of my friend Jolam Saxlunder
Thats 5 and 9 = 14
Should I now find a card name closest to contain 14 letters in its name? Eg _Spader Åtta_ (Spades 8) = 10 characters. / _Spader elva_ (Spades 11) = 10 characters.
Or should it be that Jolam's 5 characters, should give me the number closest to containing 5 letters? (Three)
And the last name of nine characters the suit?
Spader (6)
Hjärter (6)
Ruter (5)
Klöver (6)
Most of our numbers contain three letters: Ett, två, tre...
the longest I could think of (that are in the range of how far the deck numbers go) is Fyra (4), Elva (11), Tolv (12) and Tretton (13)
so, Jolam Saxlunder would give me the total of 14 characters to work with.
This gives me 3 different suits to work with, and left me with the number Tretton.
6+7=13
Am I missing something, or did I understand the math correctly?
If I go for Björn Ek I only have 7 letters in total =)
I hope I have not offended you in any way, I just like to know if I fully have understod the method.
You're on the right path. You're supposed to include a middle name but that's only to push up the number of characters.
You showed Spades 8 was ten characters (it's actually 11. 6 for spades. 5 for 8). the longest value is 5 (three, seven, eight, queen. the remaining values are all 3 or 4 characters). since you couldn't get to the 14 characters, you can't use spades. you can look at hearts but that's also 6 so it won't work. you can look at clubs but that's 5 so it won't work. that pushes you to diamonds. diamonds is 8. 8+5 gives you the 13. it's the closest you're going to get to the 14 (if you eliminate three, seven, and queen).
There may be something lost in translation with the suits you're showing. I believe Ruter is diamonds and for you is the shortest instead of the longest. That's likely where you're getting stuck?

Just being honest. I love your work, just not this one. Of all the millions of tricks you could perform, this one is just not good enough to use with so many better choices. It is just to sllllooooowwww and will lose spectators that were put in an uncomfortable situation of having to do stuff in their head, thus completely losing the entertainment value.
@@randbaldwin Thanks for sharing your thoughts man. Obviously, I disagree but that’s the beauty of magic. We all have different styles and preferences 🙂
@@LloydB True. I'm only sharing how it feels (which I hope is useful).
This is gonna be click bait. There is no way to have a psyche force be 100 percent and always hit.
If you didn't inspire from his payed trick then you should keep it on your page!
If they see your free tricks and get inspired to come up with a payed trick, is it fare? Only they have the right to inspire from you?
If you follow this stupid rules of the market, then in 5-6 years noone will have the right to post anything because all the tricks and the methodes "belongs to somebody else" who claim them.
In this way, we kill our inventivity!
Please, stop checking your emails several weeks after you post a new video!
If it happens to be some similarities in the future, it's not your fault. It's not your job to buy every trick in the world in order to see if your tricks are not "belonging to somebody else"!
Now repost your video. There happens to be other people who invented that trick before the one who claims it!
For example I invented and I want that method to be free for anyone else. Please make it free!
This rant would have some value if you understood how a calendar works. The paid trick was out before the video. It's downright dishonest to claim the video inspired the paid trick.
People wanting to respect others helps the community. People scolding others for being respectful bring humanity down. Be better.
@@natasftw it is so rude to say or think that everyone inspires from your payed products!
Or to consider that noone should be allowed to think of your method because "it's yours"!
If you sell your products does not mean noone in the future should have the same idea anymore!
Be more polite and think you are not the only one who can make things in this world! You are not the only one who has the right to think and to invent. Ideas doesn't belongs to us. They come and go even when that ideas have been used several times before, WITHOUT even knowing that idea of ours have been used before by others!
@@ionutvas6514 I'm not the other magician. I'm just pointing out that YOU are being unacceptably rude here. You need to stop.
@@natasftw no! By being rude means to not accept anyone else to have the same ideas as yours! In this way you block all the others development. Our own ideas should not be made proprietary. In this way you force an entire generation to slavery. Just accept there may be more than one people who think at the same solution in the same time.
They both are equal and not the one who sell the idea first. We are only human beings. Our ideas doesn't belong to us. We don't make them. The ideas came to us and that's it!
You cannot sell to me what it's not yours!!!
@@ionutvas6514 I'm going to assume English isn't your first language given these responses and do my best to break this apart for you in a way to help you understand what's occurring. After that, I'm out. Say whatever you want to make yourself feel better about how you've acted here. I've got other things to do.
There are five people relevant to this conversation:
Lloyd (LB) - The creator of the video above and the one you're concerned with
Random Magician (RM) - Someone that sells an effect very similar to the one posted and then taken down
Mutual Friend (MF) - Someone that knows both LB and RM
You - Well, you.
Me - Someone that has no connection to LB, RM, or MF but saw you posting something out of place.
LB posted a video.
RM felt it was too close to their idea and voiced this to MF.
MF reached out to LB to let LB know RM felt bad about it.
LB looked into RM's effect. LB felt they were too similar. LB chose to take down LB's video because LB felt bad about how it affected RM.
You showed up and condemned LB for doing so because it didn't give you what you wanted. In this, you're disregarding RM's feelings. You're disregarding LB's feelings. You're also stating the impact to you takes priority over how LB wants to post his work.
I showed up to point out you're not acting reasonably.
You go on a rant about nobody owns ideas. In doing so, you're ignoring the time and effort both LB and RM put into their work. You're unwilling to go and find a method on your own. You're demanding LB give you his work.
I point out you're being rude. You were. You continue to be so. You're acting like an entitled brat. Neither LB, RM, MF, or myself owe you anything. They can choose how to use their work as they please. You cannot demand anyone give to you what's not yours. By your own silly logic, you have no ownership over the idea or the content. You cannot demand it.
Stop acting like an entitled brat. Stop being rude. Add to the community. Stop leeching from it.
