My wife now thinks I did a miracle. I tried this trick on my wife. It failed. I restacked the cards and let her shuffle the cards again and cut the cards again. She picked the exact same card. The best card force I have ever done.
This man is a business genius. I remember a long time ago posting on his scam school videos that I thought they were boring. He did one of the following Did he; (A) Get angry and insult me (B) Ignore me (C) Ask me exactly what I didn't like as to get more Information for his channel It was (C). I learned an important lesson that day. I learned that all lessons should be about what's important.
This is amazing. Wow. Thank you so much. Will definitely need to practice this one. Still trying to watch how he got to Si Stebbins from a Brand New Deck
I performed this trick at my office lunch but i had to prearrange the deck in SI stebbins formula before i came up to the show. I am still trying to figure out he did stebbins formula from a brand new deck of cards.
Not the first time you had 4 male magicians around a table geeking out around a table, but this is the smallest table you've had 4 people sit around on the show...
My guess is, as a prof magician, and by practice, you can know where card goes where with a brand new deck of cards ... if they have been really shuffled pretrick maybe it would've been more difficult.... that's my guess :)
It’s a technique perfected by Darwin Ortiz called the SI Stebbins Secret that he published in 1988. Once it’s practiced, it can be done really well just like it’s shown in the video. It’s great if you open a fresh deck of USPCC NDO cards and want to go straight into a Chased routine or two!
@@thesaddestcat70 it’s all good, I saw this video and it drove me nuts, I found the paper he talked about and that’s still half the puzzle as the stack it falls in is different to the one I know so I had to learn it and change it to match my specific needs. Obviously I’ve had a pandemic going on, so plenty of alone time to practice and everyone I show is blown away!!
Whenever anything goes wrong, you could just end with the invisable deck. He or she tells you the card and you say you have it reversed in another deck.
Tyler Shea I would have to disagree with you there. It renders the rest of the presentation pointless and doesn't really add much to the trick. Whatever doesn't add, ends up taking away. It's a great backup though just in case you don't nail it, you can still bring the trick to a conclusion.

I was thinking this as I rewatched it. Right as he says "There are no moves" he's literally just finished stacking it from a fresh deck. Thanks so much for the info. I'll definitely be looking into Darwin Ortiz!
i actually did this yesterday, totally bc these guys asked if they could shuffle while I wasplaying with si stebbins. I said sure and they overhand shuffled! my mind went… wait… i think I’m still ok… so I kept going… worked every time,...
I had someone try this on me when i was younger. but unfortunately for them, they didnt know I have OCD and aspergers, so i actually mixed them all in a few seconds and it didnt work. lol.
All I can say is that after watching them explain how they do it, I am more impressed than had it been actual magic. You have to be smart, dexterous and quick minded.
@@merlin9702 Yes, if you can guess any card from a randomly shuffled deck, the first, the third, the eleventh, the forty-first, etc...that means you can guess each of them, and the probability of the cards of a deck being in any particular order after being randomly shuffled is 52 factorial, not 1 out of 52.
hung vu I know you can leave it in new deck order and do this trick. I saw him look at the face of the deck and actually assumed that’s what he did, although I thought it was risky. But it seemed like they were saying it was in si stebbins order. I’m sure there is some complicated way to use faro shuffles to get it in that order.
Scam School's all about easy-to-learn lessons. We didn't get into that trick because the main concept is super compelling and can work with any Si Stebbins ordered deck. Michael said the technique for his shuffles has been published elsewhere :)
Until you learn just go total beginner route and do a series of false shuffles (which may be too advanced) or at least a bunch of real cuts that make it look like a shuffle and you'll still be in new deck stack, a stack's a stack. And as long as there isn't a lot of scrutiny (the audience noticing it's still in new deck order) you can do the trick. If the top card is 8d and bottom is 10d then your card is 9d. Super-beginner approach but isn't that what Scam School is about?
So at 1:12 he is making some moves I wish we could of seen the whole shuffle but the cam cuts to Brian and Nate.... I love this trick it is great. I just need to see all the moves to pull it off.
I'd ask if you can do a perfect faro, apparently that's required. If not then one would most likely need to start with their card artifice first to acquire the skill. However, I think Patrick Redford has this shuffle in 'Temporarily Out of Order'. I've got the book but it's quite too advanced for me but I think it's in there. I'm sure he'd take your $75 and he's one of my favorite card magicians so I'll advertise for him, but it will take some serious work. I'll look into it tonight to see if it's there, but stacking a deck from new deck order using shuffles is advanced card work and certainly nothing I'd expect Brian to be teaching on this channel.
Saw you first on P&T and was BLOWN AWAY by how much better of a “natural showman” you are then most who come on their show. You didn’t fool them but you were extremely entertaining. Congrats on bringing that same quality to ScamSchool. This is a GREAT RUclips show and you are a really great showman.
I think I was more fooled by the table of interns sitting RIGHT behind them the whole time (purposefully not being intrigued and looking at what FOUR magicians are talking loudly about)
he didn't, i think he just used "Si Stebbins" as a way to easily explain the method, while in fact, it could've been ANY method of stacking the deck. New deck order into a perfect faro shuffle is one very easy way to also stack the deck in a predictable manner, which is exactly what he did in the video.
There was a mention when you put the rest of the cards away and the top and the bottom cards are different, chances are then 50/50. In this case, take both cards in the second deck, move one on the top of the second deck and place the other card next to the card on the table. That way even if it is the wrong card, you can save it by asking someone else to check the top card on the second deck. Or palm the card when you take the other one from the second deck and produce it from somewhere.
Last guy to shuffle was a total bro. If you look, he did a series of cuts and picked up the entire deck each time instead of an actual shuffle. There were only cuts, so he didn't mess up the order If you can get a friend to false shuffle for you, along with someone actually stuffing, it'll look even better.
Just as general info: Annemann says that he found the idea "mentioned in one of Ellis Stanyon's magazines back around 1907" so we can safely assume that this is not one of Annemann's original tricks. I guess.
I recognized how the trick worked purely because I watched the devils picturebook, and derren talked about how an OH shuffle can retain an order to a degree. This is such a creative way to utilize that principle though!
I don't doubt the principle works! And I did see some of the cards spilling. But sloppy shuffling is also a risk when you hand the deck over to someone. I was just pointing out that the trick, is in fact, a risk!
He knows what two cards it could possibly be, and would presumably cut one out when rattling off cards to gauge a reaction and determine which of the two it is.
I think that's Because as Brian is psuedo replicating and explaining the "easiest" way to do it he hits the ace of clubs; as it's the gap in the sequence when Michael shows the camera the double peek. The ace of clubs and 4 of hearts were also used when Michael performed the trick. The overlap trips him up so he says the two cards he sees along with one of the peaked cards from his own performance & loses the 50/50 coming up with the 7 of spades instead of the ace of clubs. Or they lost the ace off the top and covered the 7 on the bottom same mental mistake. I could be wrong; it is 5 am and I should be asleep instead of watching RUclips videos on my phone.
Jay H As a magician, I had the whole method reverse engineered in one watch and was just wishing he'd have shuffled a little more, and still considered myself fooled because of that shuffle because handing a deck to another magician shouldn't result in a 90% chance. This is crazy. It had been a long time :)
So if you figured it out, how did he get the deck into Si Stebbins order so quick ? Also if this was supposed to be a tutorial of sorts, i don't get why they didn't explain that part (not the actual order, but how he got the deck into that order).
Actually it was super easy to figure out. He had a deck in NDO and started doing faro shuffles. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out he’s arranging the deck into a stack, most likely SS. To get the deck from NDO to SS you need what’s called the “SS secret” which is in a book I don’t remember atm. Not hating on the trick, it’s great. But certainly easy to figure out on the first watch if you are familiar with stack deck effects and faro shuffling
Well... it works... if not the first time, the second time will (as mentioned in the book of Annemann)... but... the "real" trick here is the method (or the routine) to stack the deck, from new deck order to SiStebbins.
Yeah, and as they didn't explain that part, the whole video doesn't really make a lot of sense. Anyone can do tricks with a Si Stebbins, they point of this video seemed to be the deck couldn't be in that order.
Well that’s cuz you gotta inception their asses into following your rules so they think it’s their idea. Just act real casual when you’re giving them specific instructions. For example, if you tell them they can cut as many times as they want it lets them think they’re in control when in realIty it doesn’t screw up the trick in the slightest.
I love magic that fools magicians by tricking them into eliminating the method they already knew. Years ago, I learned about stacks from Juan Tamariz's excellent book, Mnemonica. By far, the best effect in that book is Mnemonicosis. It's an incredibly strong divination effect where the spectator names a card and the magician gives them some simple directions to locate the card in a deck laying on the table, typically by a cut or count. That description sounds super dry and obvious to anybody who's ever handled a memorized deck but, in practice, it consistently slays people *if* you know how to sell it. Nobody ever suspects a stack because the magician doesn't touch the cards. They try to reconstruct the trick from the improvised directions you give them and they're forced to conclude that it's impossible.
I like to carry a deck of cards with me wherever I go. If someone walks into the room, I'll say, "Quick! Name any card in the deck!" They'll name a random card like the Queen of Diamonds. I'll cut to the middle of the deck and say, "BAM!" while I hold up the card that I cut to. 99.99% of the time, it's the wrong card. If that's the case, I'll say, "Dang! One day it will work and it will blow everyone's mind!" The first time it did work, I acted like I knew exactly what I was doing. The person in my group thought I was a wizard. A few months ago, I was meeting up with a group of about 10 people for lunch. The 4 that I was with knew the "trick" and would play along if I got it right. The next guy to show up to our table arrived and I told him to name any card. I cut to that card and he almost fell to the floor! He asked me to do it again and I did because I think explaining the gag is more funny than the actual trick. He named a different card and, "BAM!" I actually cut to it! The other guys at the table were freaking out. I played it cool. A few minutes later, another person showed up and the amazed guy was like, "Show him the trick!!!" So I told the new guy to name a card.... "BAM!" I go it right again! I kid you not! 3 times in a row! I decided not to press my luck anymore and refused to do that trick again.
@@icepick859 i also always have a deck with me and i tell people to shuffle and pick a random card. then i say jack of diamonds everytime and hope for the best... worked a few times and 1 time i got 2 in a row with a person who thought i cheated. dont think its fake, it can happen :)
That's funny, your story sounds eerily similar to mine. A while back I was at a lunch meeting with a group of people and there was one really annoying guy there who kept doing this lame gag where he would randomly go up and shove a deck of cards in your face, tell you to pick one and then proceed to yell BAM very loudly and guess the wrong card. For some reason he thought this was funny, but pretty much everyone there thought it was stupid. Anyways, two friends and I at the meeting that day pretended to act like he had actually gotten it right. The poor guy actually thought he was performing miracles.
Oo I think I know how he set up si’s order so fast, look at how much attention he’s paying while holding the cards in hand, he’s shuffling and correcting covertly
I like a smooth brown ale. It would be great to cover your/my bar tab. I like these tricks(magic). Close up kinda stuff. I don't need to vanish the Statue of Liberty For me, dexterity is a problem. My inept stubby fingers have their difficulties. Much like the piano, typing, or knotting my shoelaces. I do have a couple that has fooled my grandkids (twin eight-year-olds)and three inebriated adults.
If you spot the top and bottom cards and you've 'hit a break', you can pull out both options, get them to show their card and then do an equivoce to get the right one of the two. Just an idea guys.
Best reveal ever on Scam School in this episode! You can find public domain magic books on the internet. I haven't ever even thought about that. I have a brand new ink cartridge on my printer and plan on wearing it out quickly!
After watching for several years, I find this video to be possibly the most important, and best video on Scam Nation. The idea of taking risks with your magic is just a game changer. This video almost shouldn't be available for free.
If you fall into the 10%, you can equally try to get a read in when proposing colours or numbers. It makes the trick around 80% instead of 50/50 if you end up in the 10%.
I love the Outlaws deck It’s frigging gorgeous It’s not really a magician deck But I love it Brian actually has great design taste The suits are beautiful The colors are awesome I love this deck
A great way to go about failure is to keep talking at the exact same tone as if you were still doing the trick, but instead flow into, "...and that's how I got you to actually fucking believe I can do a magic trick."
caught something you slipped in.... magicians know how to rapidly set up sistebbins... inferring that it can be done "live" from a new deck... how? (my method involves 4 suited stacks, each 3 shifted, building up a deck by picking the top card from each and adding it to the deck... I can set up in about 5 minutes... but if you see me, you Know what I am doing.....)
I love that this particular trick is in Shh it's a secret. Now if I can find somewhere to get a PDF (paid or free) of a New Deck Order to Si Stebbins Order "shuffle," I'll be set.
a ton of people have been wondering what the quick method for is stebbins is. sry Brian. if you faro a deck 8 times, perfectly, while having the last card on the right on the outside, you will put it back in perfect order. I always start with the six of clubs, but you can use whatever. Take your starting clubs card and get every other clubs depending down and restarting the cycle. so 6 5 4 3 2 A K Q J 10 9 8 7. all clubs. then take hearts, start three up, so in this case 9, and do it again. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 A K Q J 10. do the same with spades starting at Q, and then diamonds starting at two. Put the four packets ordering clubs hearts spades diamonds, so that the 3 of diamonds is at the bottom. faro twice, with the right end on the outside. this will make is stebbins. with a new deck, simply reverse the order and two of the suits, and then cut and complete on all four to get into the four packets from earlier.
I suppose, as he is placing the deck back in the box, and peeks at the top & bottom cards - seeing that the proper order was broken, he could then lay down 2 blue cards and say It's that one. If not, ha ha just kidding, it's really that one. Still impressive.
This really felt good. The we’re all junkies who got fooled once, and we’re chasing that high… comment was the most relatable thing for me to hear. Wizards only worked for this show. Definitely going to try this one out.
Logic Bob Fancy handwork like that isn't for Scam School. If it takes more than 5 minutes to go from not knowing how to do something to being able to practice a trick with it, it's probably not gonna show up on the channel
Helped him out a lot with that shite shuffle... This shouldn't fool magicians this easily as they should know to shuffle properly if prompted. Suppose there's an element of respect, not wanting to ruin a trick for your mate on camera.
Did you just say you’re a magician? That’s adorable, love your you tube channel but it’s entertaining because you are an average guy fooling less than average bar goers. But to put yourself in magician realm?
This trick might work if the person you hand the deck to does overhand shuffles, but if they do an actual riffle shuffle it will most likely fail... especially if they do more than one riffle shuffle.
failed to guess correct card at 12:57 it clearly shows a spade with a club then next shot is a retake with both cards being a club. these guys are just like impractical jokers to me now... it's all just a show
I once performed an impossible trick where I had a friend think of a number, then a colour(black or red) then between clubs or spades, diamonds or hearts if it was black or red. At this point he had a card in his mind then had him say stop whenever as I riffled down the deck and i stopped on his card
This was such a great episode to watch, seeing four magicians nerd out using terms I do not understand; and yet, however, I feel almost like I'm one of them while watching 🤙
Whenever a magician says they use muscle reading, pulse reading, autonomic response, or anything like that, they're lying. The possibility of actually being able to use those effectively and practically is little to none.
There isn't really a need to put the deck in to si stebbins order, the deck is already in new deck order you just need to know how your particular brand of cards arranges their new decks
My wife now thinks I did a miracle.
I tried this trick on my wife. It failed. I restacked the cards and let her shuffle the cards again and cut the cards again.
She picked the exact same card.
The best card force I have ever done.
that's not a force, it's a lucky draw
@bu tre Do you actually think he doesn't know that?
Tom Milley Music I think he actually does 😂
GBatT he looks like a chubby Bradley cooper
@@butre. He know that. But his wife doesn't
Me:give the cards a little mix.
Spectator:sure! (starts riffle shuffling)
Me:Fuck this shit!!!am out
LAVERN MBUTURA pantomime an overhand shuffle and they usually go for it. And when that fails...do a different trick xD
I love this effect. My favorite out when a trick like this fails is to say "and the cards match! No? Wouldnt it be cool if that worked?"
This man is a business genius. I remember a long time ago posting on his scam school videos that I thought they were boring. He did one of the following

One book I would recommend is Fooling Houdini By Alex Stone Brushwood I think you should go check it out your going to like it

Not the first time you had 4 male magicians around a table geeking out around a table, but this is the smallest table you've had 4 people sit around on the show...
So overhand shuffle doesn’t actually shuffle them?
No. You're just cutting the deck a bunch of times.
I wonder if this would have worked on penn and teller fool us if it hadn’t been shown here lol
Who has been a subscriber and fan since the hedgehog stage of brushwood
New Scam School segment: Brushwood Fool Us
thats pretty genious. Just hoping that the person did not shuffle good enough.
somehow I always end up in the 10% where the trick doesn't work
Cause it's a dumb staged trick
Maybe because you are mixing them to much. Try to only mix the at most two times.
MudanTV r/humblebrag
How was that a humblebrag?
You have to overhand (the American shuffling way) at-least 5 times MOST and then follow the thing he said
The most impressive is Michael getting the deck in order in front of their faces without them calling it out!

Whenever anything goes wrong, you could just end with the invisable deck. He or she tells you the card and you say you have it reversed in another deck.
Alexander Wolf that is my main solution as well when a card trick goes wrong.
That's freaking brilliant.
I pretty much always keep an I.D. on me for such an occasion. Its the best out when a trick goes south. Great advice man.
You could combine an invisible deck with this trick to pretend you predicted the card, and you won't need them to tell you what the card is...sneaky

I think that's Because as Brian is psuedo replicating and explaining the "easiest" way to do it he hits the ace of clubs; as it's the gap in the sequence when Michael shows the camera the double peek. The ace of clubs and 4 of hearts were also used when Michael performed the trick. The overlap trips him up so he says the two cards he sees along with one of the peaked cards from his own performance & loses the 50/50 coming up with the 7 of spades instead of the ace of clubs. Or they lost the ace off the top and covered the 7 on the bottom same mental mistake. I could be wrong; it is 5 am and I should be asleep instead of watching RUclips videos on my phone.
Its pretty rare that you see a trick where it amazed you just as much when they explain it.
Cool.
Without being told how this is done, I believe it would be impossible to figure out, just by watching it be performed.
Jay H As a magician, I had the whole method reverse engineered in one watch and was just wishing he'd have shuffled a little more, and still considered myself fooled because of that shuffle because handing a deck to another magician shouldn't result in a 90% chance. This is crazy. It had been a long time :)
So if you figured it out, how did he get the deck into Si Stebbins order so quick ? Also if this was supposed to be a tutorial of sorts, i don't get why they didn't explain that part (not the actual order, but how he got the deck into that order).
Actually it was super easy to figure out. He had a deck in NDO and started doing faro shuffles. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out he’s arranging the deck into a stack, most likely SS. To get the deck from NDO to SS you need what’s called the “SS secret” which is in a book I don’t remember atm. Not hating on the trick, it’s great. But certainly easy to figure out on the first watch if you are familiar with stack deck effects and faro shuffling
beatz04 because the “Si Stebbins secret” is a published principle and is not theirs to teach.
Well... it works... if not the first time, the second time will (as mentioned in the book of Annemann)... but... the "real" trick here is the method (or the routine) to stack the deck, from new deck order to SiStebbins.
Yeah, and as they didn't explain that part, the whole video doesn't really make a lot of sense. Anyone can do tricks with a Si Stebbins, they point of this video seemed to be the deck couldn't be in that order.
Actually... every kind of known order would work... the "masterpiece" is in stackin it casually from a sealed new deck...
Three of my favorite things in life in this video...Beer, Good Company (friends) and Magic. Awesome trick, can't wait to try it out.
Every time I get them to give it a quick “mix,” they riffle shuffle about 3 times FML.
That's why you try it on someone who cant riffle shuffle for shits.
Well that’s cuz you gotta inception their asses into following your rules so they think it’s their idea. Just act real casual when you’re giving them specific instructions. For example, if you tell them they can cut as many times as they want it lets them think they’re in control when in realIty it doesn’t screw up the trick in the slightest.
What I love about this is that knowing how it's done makes it even more impressive. Love it.
I love magic that fools magicians by tricking them into eliminating the method they already knew.
Years ago, I learned about stacks from Juan Tamariz's excellent book, Mnemonica. By far, the best effect in that book is Mnemonicosis. It's an incredibly strong divination effect where the spectator names a card and the magician gives them some simple directions to locate the card in a deck laying on the table, typically by a cut or count.
That description sounds super dry and obvious to anybody who's ever handled a memorized deck but, in practice, it consistently slays people *if* you know how to sell it. Nobody ever suspects a stack because the magician doesn't touch the cards. They try to reconstruct the trick from the improvised directions you give them and they're forced to conclude that it's impossible.
Was it a variation of this Penn & Teller used to try to fool David Copperfield on the first episode of fool us this year
I like to carry a deck of cards with me wherever I go. If someone walks into the room, I'll say, "Quick! Name any card in the deck!" They'll name a random card like the Queen of Diamonds. I'll cut to the middle of the deck and say, "BAM!" while I hold up the card that I cut to. 99.99% of the time, it's the wrong card. If that's the case, I'll say, "Dang! One day it will work and it will blow everyone's mind!" The first time it did work, I acted like I knew exactly what I was doing. The person in my group thought I was a wizard.
A few months ago, I was meeting up with a group of about 10 people for lunch. The 4 that I was with knew the "trick" and would play along if I got it right. The next guy to show up to our table arrived and I told him to name any card. I cut to that card and he almost fell to the floor! He asked me to do it again and I did because I think explaining the gag is more funny than the actual trick. He named a different card and, "BAM!" I actually cut to it! The other guys at the table were freaking out. I played it cool. A few minutes later, another person showed up and the amazed guy was like, "Show him the trick!!!" So I told the new guy to name a card.... "BAM!" I go it right again! I kid you not! 3 times in a row! I decided not to press my luck anymore and refused to do that trick again.
So that's a 0.00057692307% chance if I got the maths right, wow
Yeah bullshit, that never happened. Why would you spend so much time writing out a fake story? You are pure cringe.
@@icepick859 i also always have a deck with me and i tell people to shuffle and pick a random card. then i say jack of diamonds everytime and hope for the best... worked a few times and 1 time i got 2 in a row with a person who thought i cheated. dont think its fake, it can happen :)
I think it can happen but this guys story is bullshit
That's funny, your story sounds eerily similar to mine. A while back I was at a lunch meeting with a group of people and there was one really annoying guy there who kept doing this lame gag where he would randomly go up and shove a deck of cards in your face, tell you to pick one and then proceed to yell BAM very loudly and guess the wrong card. For some reason he thought this was funny, but pretty much everyone there thought it was stupid. Anyways, two friends and I at the meeting that day pretended to act like he had actually gotten it right. The poor guy actually thought he was performing miracles.
Oo I think I know how he set up si’s order so fast, look at how much attention he’s paying while holding the cards in hand, he’s shuffling and correcting covertly
I like a smooth brown ale. It would be great to cover your/my bar tab.
I like these tricks(magic). Close up kinda stuff. I don't need to vanish the Statue of Liberty
For me, dexterity is a problem. My inept stubby fingers have their difficulties. Much like the piano, typing, or knotting my shoelaces.
I do have a couple that has fooled my grandkids (twin eight-year-olds)and three inebriated adults.
If you spot the top and bottom cards and you've 'hit a break', you can pull out both options, get them to show their card and then do an equivoce to get the right one of the two. Just an idea guys.
to me it is more interesting how to shuffle it into si stebbins that quickly
Yea that is unquestionably the only part of this trick that is actually impressive.
These are the best types of of videos. People who know their shit geeking out about their passion. I love it so so much
Best reveal ever on Scam School in this episode! You can find public domain magic books on the internet. I haven't ever even thought about that. I have a brand new ink cartridge on my printer and plan on wearing it out quickly!
6:54 the title of this piece
*youtube crashes
*me at 3 am: " WITCH!!!!"
Tom Segura doing magic tricks.
What was the one book that had the method of getting the deck in si stebbins order from a new deck?
Darwin Ortiz’s “At the Card Table.”
After watching for several years, I find this video to be possibly the most important, and best video on Scam Nation. The idea of taking risks with your magic is just a game changer. This video almost shouldn't be available for free.
I remember reading and performing this when I was a kid haha..can't believe it's still used lol
If you fall into the 10%, you can equally try to get a read in when proposing colours or numbers. It makes the trick around 80% instead of 50/50 if you end up in the 10%.
Or you can do the reveal differently. Give yourself a color change out if it is a 50-50 reveal
I think the real Magic here is - Arranging a new deck into the Si Stebbins in like 10 seconds ??
Right?? That part fooled me.
I love the Outlaws deck
It’s frigging gorgeous
It’s not really a magician deck
But I love it
Brian actually has great design taste
The suits are beautiful
The colors are awesome
I love this deck
A great way to go about failure is to keep talking at the exact same tone as if you were still doing the trick, but instead flow into, "...and that's how I got you to actually fucking believe I can do a magic trick."
Love this trick!! YOUR AWESOME!!!!!
caught something you slipped in.... magicians know how to rapidly set up sistebbins... inferring that it can be done "live" from a new deck... how? (my method involves 4 suited stacks, each 3 shifted, building up a deck by picking the top card from each and adding it to the deck... I can set up in about 5 minutes... but if you see me, you Know what I am doing.....)
I love that this particular trick is in Shh it's a secret. Now if I can find somewhere to get a PDF (paid or free) of a New Deck Order to Si Stebbins Order "shuffle," I'll be set.
a ton of people have been wondering what the quick method for is stebbins is.
sry Brian.
if you faro a deck 8 times, perfectly, while having the last card on the right on the outside, you will put it back in perfect order. I always start with the six of clubs, but you can use whatever. Take your starting clubs card and get every other clubs depending down and restarting the cycle. so 6 5 4 3 2 A K Q J 10 9 8 7. all clubs. then take hearts, start three up, so in this case 9, and do it again. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 A K Q J 10. do the same with spades starting at Q, and then diamonds starting at two. Put the four packets ordering clubs hearts spades diamonds, so that the 3 of diamonds is at the bottom. faro twice, with the right end on the outside. this will make is stebbins. with a new deck, simply reverse the order and two of the suits, and then cut and complete on all four to get into the four packets from earlier.
I suppose, as he is placing the deck back in the box, and peeks at the top & bottom cards - seeing that the proper order was broken, he could then lay down 2 blue cards and say It's that one. If not, ha ha just kidding, it's really that one. Still impressive.
This really felt good. The we’re all junkies who got fooled once, and we’re chasing that high… comment was the most relatable thing for me to hear. Wizards only worked for this show. Definitely going to try this one out.
8:49 - After all these years, Brushwood's holding back on us??
Logic Bob Fancy handwork like that isn't for Scam School. If it takes more than 5 minutes to go from not knowing how to do something to being able to practice a trick with it, it's probably not gonna show up on the channel
Also might be someone else's method
I actually have learned this its super simple
The Unholy Smirk share please, I can do a perfect ferro
From new deck order, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that "two perfect riffle shuffles" will get the deck into Si Stebbins
Helped him out a lot with that shite shuffle...
This shouldn't fool magicians this easily as they should know to shuffle properly if prompted. Suppose there's an element of respect, not wanting to ruin a trick for your mate on camera.
0:23: remember that time you had Davids Rowyn and Rangel, and Marcus Eddie all around a table geeking out about magic on Scam School?
I had a theory after seeing him peek at the bottom of the deck, But thought, no, magicians wont do a trick when they dont know 100% the outcome.
Did you just say you’re a magician? That’s adorable, love your you tube channel but it’s entertaining because you are an average guy fooling less than average bar goers. But to put yourself in magician realm?
4:29 “ no es posible!” xD
This guy has some awesome ideas, and I like that he points to his sources of lesser known books
Wrong card choosen by chief 9 of spades... ;) anyways, I would love to learn this with more clarity.
I wonder if this _had_ been P&T, what would they have thought?
This trick might work if the person you hand the deck to does overhand shuffles, but if they do an actual riffle shuffle it will most likely fail... especially if they do more than one riffle shuffle.
failed to guess correct card at 12:57 it clearly shows a spade with a club then next shot is a retake with both cards being a club. these guys are just like impractical jokers to me now... it's all just a show
I once performed an impossible trick where I had a friend think of a number, then a colour(black or red) then between clubs or spades, diamonds or hearts if it was black or red. At this point he had a card in his mind then had him say stop whenever as I riffled down the deck and i stopped on his card
Best magician tutor channel
Sooooo...
Explain how to do this trick again... and again and again and again...
This was such a great episode to watch, seeing four magicians nerd out using terms I do not understand; and yet, however, I feel almost like I'm one of them while watching 🤙
I thought he was looking for an autonomic response (pupil constriction, etc.) when he verbalized the cards several times.
Whenever a magician says they use muscle reading, pulse reading, autonomic response, or anything like that, they're lying. The possibility of actually being able to use those effectively and practically is little to none.
nowthisfromamanuscriptcallllled SHIT THE SECRET
There isn't really a need to put the deck in to si stebbins order, the deck is already in new deck order you just need to know how your particular brand of cards arranges their new decks
Even though they explain how it's done, it would still take a while to master for a layman.
Shit's a secret
Oh man, 11:15 is gold!
"Okay hold on to that." And then never come back? :D
I love the shout-out line "Brian Brushwood, Fool Us".
The guy without the beard is an elf. You can't convince me otherwise.
3 have mostly empty cups, one has a fucking bottle.
Loved this episode! Thanks Brian for bringing me joy.
This hit home for me on a few levels. Thanks.
I’m not saying that it’s not good, but it would be awesome if you updated the intro!
nothing in first trick is important until he start saying the cards and waiting for his response
I'm guessing it's important start with a false shuffle and a faro, right?
So the brand new deck of cards already came in the Si Stebbins order? 🧐
If you have two options. Just keep a backup if the reveal fails.
THIS MAKES ME WORRIED
what system lets you stack cards in seconds from a sealed deck? that's the mystery
You make me feel good
