sir, thank ye fer the video but, ye have a little misinformation. The Yugioh trading card game ain't based off of the anime serie of it. It is the compllete opposite: first the game came out and the anime is just a commercial fer the game but; of course, it's popularity acceed continents and the first serie anime of yugioh bacme the most watched cartoon in 'murica once upon a time. Best.
bah, that was awesome - those are the best skills - fyi, i would have discarded the "5" with my "quad deuces" because i like to get as much info as possible.... that was world class as always;
@@DanielRoyMagic Honest question--how many takes were required here? If I gave you a deck of cards right now and asked you to do this routine, do you think you could do it on the spot (after prepping the deck of course)?
@@alexhussinger3550 if I’ve been practicing, I can do it every time. But for filming, every time I trip over a word or spread cards in a not-quite-perfect arc, I have to start over.
I've always enjoyed watching people do different things when they have absolutely mastered the skill. Skilled instrument players, rally drivers in-cam footages, strongmen, E-sports player montages etc. you name it...If you can do it at the top level (whatever it is) its incredible. But magic tricks has always been its own tier. Well done sir. This is just something what I can't imagine how much practise and patience it would take to reach this level... How the f... is this possible?? Mad respect.
I would have drawn a card with the quad 2's. There's no downside, and it helps obfuscate the hand. If you stand pat then you're telegraphing a very strong hand. If you draw, then there's more ambiguity.
Yes, that's what I was also thinking l, but just like Daniel mentioned, heck, the dealer would just bottom deal as to not mess the stack. However, if I had quads straight from the deal, I would definitely change a card. Resting in that situation would most likely make all your opponents fold.
Also, you have decent odds of drawing a better kicker than a five. It makes no difference in a game without wilds (which I can only assume this is), but not all players are going to realize that.
Even though I have a rough clue how many of the things are done in theory, this is just so damn smooth. Thanks Daniel and keep the non-shorts videos up pls :-)
wow, it's not just a demonstration of skill, but also of perfect memory! Even if I was able to do all the moves, I wouldn't be able keep track of all those cards for the finale!
Daniel I work in cybersecurity and you might make me change professions. I’ve been watching your videos for over a year and your sleight of hand is top notch! Keep going KING!
I have been obsessed with magic since I was a small child. I have learned all manner of slight of hand, and though I'm still only okay at it, I've seen may skilled masters of slight of hand, and you are among the finest I've seen in quite a while! Your dead cuts are flawless!
7:47 This doesn't really have anything to do with the video, but I was wondering what the best strategy is if you have four of a kind and don't need another card. Is it best to keep your 5 (in this case) or should you discard it in the hopes that you get a new card that one of the other players want?
One of the other commenters answered this. The best strategy is to discard one, because otherwise you're telegraphing to the other players that you have a hand so strong you don't need to discard anything. Aside from the mental game, though, it doesn't matter to the statistics.
Daniel would you please make a shuffling video? I really need help learning to shuffle in different ways. As many ways as you know how to shuffle or cut cards, please teach me
But with playing heavy, you also have to deal with te fact that when you fold, showdown your hand (and/or in the case of a draw game, discard & draw), the others will see you have an extra card if you're not careful
Beautiful as always. How I would have handled the discard/draw phase at the end: The first hand, I agree with the discard because it is too unlikely to go for the straight because the numbers are far enough away. Second hand, also agree. The third hand however, personally I would have discarded the 5 because I would want the rest of the table to think I was fishing for a straight, flush, or full house. Also for the fourth player, the sucker who cut the deck nicely for you, with 5 players at the table, and having 2-3 extra cards taken, that would mean 27-28 cards are in play. I wouldn't risk getting rid of all my other cards and hoping for a jack or another pair. I probably would have kept the 9 and hoped for a jack or a 9.
Amazing demonstration, as always. I agree that with the third hand I would have drawn a single card, just to make it seem like I wasn't on a 'pat' hand, but was drawing in hopes of getting a hand. In a 'normal' game, heavily betting after that could be taken as a bluff from someone who missed their draw, etc. It would just be more likely to encourage betting. Of course, Daniel would roll with this, bottom dealing that draw or similar. :)
what I find amazing about this is that I'm not sure if it's literally just amazing dexterity or controlled actions, like... in blindfolded speedrunning, you do controlled setups to make sure you're in a good position. here though, it just seems like some of the actions (that shouldn't be based on sleight of hand) are just super precise, like lifting 12 cards mindboggling
For the jacks hand, I would've discarded all the non clubs. Which you mentioned sort of. Already had 3, so the chance at 4 or 5 is stronger than one pair imo.
Damn Daniel, back at it again! Poker fascinates me ever since i saw it on 007 Casino Royale, but i still don't know on is it actually a good cards that they play or not
An alternative outcome to the draw poker level is that your "partner" draws the fourth Ace (supposing there is no limit to the number of cards you can replace, like say three cards, four if you are keeping an ace), and that should not be a problem for the dealer because they can simply give themselves a nine of spades to complete a straight flush. There can even be wild cards, where the dealer gets five of a kind and the player to their right gets the royal flush.
Extremely impressive skills! But if someone shuffled the cards and got a royal flush and everybody else also got a very impressive hand there's no way I wouldn't accuse him of cheating ;)
Sic video, i like how you dealt yourself the actual best hand the game Royal Flush of spades. 7:45 most of the time I think this person is discarding that 5 for a new card.
I did very much enjoy, would of liked to see a level 11 of doing it in holdem because its just what i like to play but still just as impressive doing it 5card, maybe even more
11th level is probably that each level bios on each other and prepped for the next. Also, I want to just complement you for how smooth and natural you made those false shuffles and cuts look. It was hard to tell, but I definitely saw during 2 riffle shuffles in level 6 that you did absolutely nothing to the order of the cards.
@@DanielRoyMagic after making 60 plus RUclips videos I would never even consider doing everything in one take. But that's the difference between a real pro
Enjoyed this video. So, I have to ask, do you enjoy playing poker (of any kind), or is it just a way for you to demonstrate your card-handling abilities?
Another nice vid man! By the way, can you recommend some card brand you use well for either sleight of hand and magic? I see you are using the bee deck in this vid but i find the bee deck kind of difficult to handle :(
This is so beyond amazing, it's ridiculous, and getting somewhat annoying :p I can't even tell which parts are advanced trickery and which are just incredible skills. I'm going to guess both combined. I have no clue and it's quite frustrating :p

@@mr.textwall5327 I know LockpickingLawyer :)
If I ever see you in a poker game, I'll just fold every hand. :-)
I would have drawn a card with the quad 2's. There's no downside, and it helps obfuscate the hand. If you stand pat then you're telegraphing a very strong hand. If you draw, then there's more ambiguity.
Good point! That's where a dealer might employ a bottom deal so as not to mess up the remaining stacked cards :)
How clever!
@@DanielRoyMagic An excellent work-around. :-)

thanks so much!
Some of your best yet Daniel, astonishing!
Single take routines are so effective on RUclips. Well done!
This was such an awesome video, I had a big smile on my face after every thing you did. You're incredible!
thanks!
I used to think that the proper play with four of a kind is to discard one card. Now I know the proper play is to fold.
DEALER: You're a cheater
CHEATER: I prefer "Smooth criminal"

The fact that this video has only 50k views is absurd. That's pure magic right there.

Man, this is my favourite so far! Amazing!
Poor Daniel. He's the world's best card shuffler and nobody ever asks him to shuffle.
LOL story of my life
You are absolutely insane. That was mind blowing.... you have to be a legit wizard, calling it
Couldn't take my eyes off of this entire video. Super well done, it's clear you have killer skills.
Holy s***, this was disgustingly good.
(I came from Tom Scott’s newsletter)
Wow! no idea he watched my videos lol, that's really flattering
Daniel would you consider this demonstration a “magic” trick or a “juggling” trick? Also, Richard Turner would be proud of that hold em segment.
well, I'd call it a gambling demonstration, an expose of skill with a deck of cards
@@DanielRoyMagic that answers my question.
@@TSfish94 Magicians and their secretive ways of communicating lol
@@TSfish94 I'd call it a shuffling trick in the context of gambling.
OMG...SERIOUSLY...WOW...ILL NEVER PLAY CARDS AGAIN
That was a continuous shot for a long duration!! How good you are at this!!! ❣️
I cannot believe you're that smooth with it! Great vid!
You are a first class card technician! All in 1 take too.
Even knowing the coming flop from the button would be insane.
I am left speechless. Amazing
Always a better day when u post :)
Wow, an excellent display of skill. I too am doing some sleight of hand but I must thank you for an inspiration for me Daniel. :)
Always love when a new video drops.
it's a relief to me too because it means I finally finished the editing lol

true! lots of techniques for dealing with this
As always, brilliant once again!
Incredible performance, as usual - Just realized it was all done in one take. Insane! 😂Wish I could come to your show in NY!
this is impressive
so next level that looks inhuman
Beautiful as always.

This is incredible. One of the best slight of hand, gambling cheating routines I've seen. I will check more of you out!
I really like this kind of videos! Card Cheating Techniques by Danile Roy are always amazing!
Your skill level is unbelievable. Smooth, precise and dangerously sharp :) Well done.
what I find amazing about this is that I'm not sure if it's literally just amazing dexterity or controlled actions, like... in blindfolded speedrunning, you do controlled setups to make sure you're in a good position. here though, it just seems like some of the actions (that shouldn't be based on sleight of hand) are just super precise, like lifting 12 cards
mindboggling
Daniel I Hope I could be as good as u with second deal, bottom deal etc. U are insane ❤️🔥keep up the great work and greetings from Germany :)
If that’s not a ‘Shaved Deck’ than bravo brother. Also, great video. Love your set up, looking forward to what’s next - Subscribed.
just a standard deck of cards :)
This is simply amazing. Love it. Congrats.
This is the greatest gambling routine I ever seen. Don't tell Richard Turner I said that.
For the jacks hand, I would've discarded all the non clubs. Which you mentioned sort of. Already had 3, so the chance at 4 or 5 is stronger than one pair imo.

Poker fascinates me ever since i saw it on 007 Casino Royale, but i still don't know on is it actually a good cards that they play or not
Love your work.
You saved the best for last. Excellent video. I love the gambling oriented videos. Thanks.
Really high quality video. I think the music audio may be a smidge too loud though.
i cant believe this was all recorded in a single shot, it looks so smooth.
Thanks :)
looks really easy, I´ll try it the next time I play with my friends. Do you think I should practice before I give it a try?
I had planned to watch some action movie and here I am enjoying this cosmic sleight !!!

This makes me never want to play outside of a reputable casino again.
With 4 of a kind, I would still discard 1 card, trying to give the illusion that I have a lesser hand.
Cue sound of gun hammer slowly being cocked followed by a smooth southern drawl, “I think you should re-deal those cards, mister.”
Damn! That was super genius level!!!!!
Sic video, i like how you dealt yourself the actual best hand the game Royal Flush of spades.
7:45 most of the time I think this person is discarding that 5 for a new card.
If your last scenario actually happened in the “Old West”, you’d have been dragged by horse to the nearest tree🤪. Great video👍
I am not even eligible for playing poker but I’m still watching this lmao nice video
I did very much enjoy, would of liked to see a level 11 of doing it in holdem because its just what i like to play but still just as impressive doing it 5card, maybe even more

So good! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Daniel, be honest... Beautiful writing, we all know the card work is beautiful... How many takes to get it in one take?
A lot, mostly because I trip over my words 90% of the way through lol
@@DanielRoyMagic after making 60 plus RUclips videos I would never even consider doing everything in one take. But that's the difference between a real pro
This level of sorcery would shock even Gandalf.

So impressive!
Im always amazed by your skills!
I was just doing research for d&d but I got completely sucked into this.
I knew, that you would've dealt a Straight Royal Flush. This was predictable, but it's raw skill.
This video was better than any magic ive seen
You are AWESOME!!!! Dr. Daniel Roy!!!!
thanks!
Seriously, are you Richard's son? You're really good, love your vids
You are amazing 🙂.
how does he do this in one take? i can barely brush my teeth in one take
You keep trying until you get it. Most of the outtakes are just because I trip over my words or forget a line lol
@@DanielRoyMagic you should do an outtake on those tripped words
how did i miss your channel for so long
Just Outstanding!
Absolutely astonishing
Thanks for the ideas!
Incredible.
Enjoyed this video. So, I have to ask, do you enjoy playing poker (of any kind), or is it just a way for you to demonstrate your card-handling abilities?
and how would you apply this if there is a profesional dealer
dealing?
Again. I can never trust my local dealers working with the players....
Another nice vid man! By the way, can you recommend some card brand you use well for either sleight of hand and magic? I see you are using the bee deck in this vid but i find the bee deck kind of difficult to handle :(
Bicycle, bee, tally ho are all great
@@DanielRoyMagic Great thanks daniel! Will certainly practice with my tally ho
How does it work after your fancy shuffle and then asking the player behind you to cut and say they do?
dude... DUDE... **DUDE**
*can't blink in awe
So freakin’ good. 😳🔥😳
Daniel you are amazing man..I only play Holdem .
So excited to see some Texas Hold em so i could understand the references to the game
what were the cards that you used in the video?
Amazing stuff
Great video!
You're a wizard Harry
i wonder how you changed the the cards in the intro
This is so beyond amazing, it's ridiculous, and getting somewhat annoying :p
I can't even tell which parts are advanced trickery and which are just incredible skills. I'm going to guess both combined. I have no clue and it's quite frustrating :p
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do people let u shuffle when playing cards anymore?
nope
Level 11: controlling the deck when someone else deals 😳
good idea for a video, will have to do this some time
