      I would use a pen half in 2 with magnets in between without cutting the cards. Switch the pen with the normal pen to give it to the person who is watching, including the cards to believe your magic.

      Any chance you sell these card setups ready made? I realize its alot of work but because of that, there likely will be a demand. I wanna do this trick for my kids but having to buy the strings, double backers and do all the cutting & tying, its a little bit of a turn off.

      It takes years of training to perform a magic trick. I tried and succeeded in some basic manipulations, but when I wanted to practice "back and front", after three months I was only able to succeed one time out of ten. Professionals succeed every time and do it with not one card, but with a deck of cards. I admire their dexterity.

      The initial demonstration in the first 10 seconds of the video are edited to make the trick seem better. The audio is muted when he moves the sharpie through the card - only the background music is playing. When he shows how to do the actual trick, the gates of the gimmick make an audible clicking noise that sort of give the trick away. This would be a difficult trick to pull off correctly in a quiet setting.

      Weird comparison, but I felt the same way about pro wrestling after studying theatre at university. When I was a kid I was a big fan of wrestling, then hit that "it's all fake" stage in my mid to late teens and stopped enjoying it. But after studying things like stage combat, theatre in the round, crowd work, improv and so on, I gained a whole new appreciation for the craft.
      Sometimes it's even more entertaining to see behind an effective illusion than it is to be fooled by it.

    I love how magic has turned into a realm of secrets to hide the wonder and now has transformed into an open sharing of ideas to make even better illusions that everyone can enjoy. Even as the audience learns how it is done that only makes you appreciate it even more. Then someone takes that same trick and adds to it to evolve the idea even further.

    • @Rhewin
      @Rhewin 2 года назад +5

      When the audience knows how it’s done it’s just showing off skill, not doing magic. The feeling of amazement people get is seeing something they know should be impossible without a clear explanation. They know it’s not “real” magic, but outright exposure eliminates all wonder. At best some people will still appreciate the skill, but most will lose interest once they know the secret.

    **Tip**
    Considering your giving that one away, I suggest you cut an arch through the 4 closest barn doors. So if you leave the pen in, there is no square cut, it shapes to the sharpie.
    Wen you performed the example 14:01 the flaps at an angle are pushed back out. With the arch cut, you can perform a flawless pull.

    I just gotta say you are an incredible magician and extremely innovative, creative and imaginative. I am blown away at just how unbelievable and awesome your intricate card gimmick is. I just got back into magic after 42 years,(I was a teenager doing card, coin and close up magic from a kit and library books for family and friends and as amateur as they come). I had stumbled across a “Street Magic” video a few weeks back that rekindled my love of card magic which also led me to the world of Cardistry. I went from one unopened deck of standard Bicycle cards that I had just laying around my house to over 60 different decks from all of the top-tier card manufacturers in the Card Magic and Cardistry industry in just over a week, and I still have 21 more decks are on their way. I have been practicing all the basic cuts, flourishes, grips, fans, spreads, and shuffles every day. Anyway this video of yours is my introduction to you and your channel here on RUclips, and you impressed me so much, not only did you get a huge like from me but I subscribed as well, it’s the least I could do. Thank you for all you are doing and contributing to the Magic community, and keep up the great work!

    You can also record these segments on your phone as they have a smaller sensor and not much depth of field, most phones can give great images and everything will be in focus.

    A better but slightly more difficult gimmick would be to cut the "barn doors" in a curved shape to match the sharpie, so you could even stop at each door and the previous door can fully close with no gap. That is, the side toward the viewer is always a semi-circle of a hole that the pen fits perfectly.

The trick card is double backed, so if you put the signed card face up on top and flip the two of them over at the same time, you end up with the trick card on top and it looks like you only flipped 1 card. Repeat the process for concealing the trick card and producing the signed card.

  • @HRConsultant_Jeff
    @HRConsultant_Jeff 2 года назад

    The version I made years ago was using a common stick pen that I gimmicked and I could put it through anything. I used to put it through the water glass at a restaurant. I would slide it up, remove it from the glass and hand the pen over as it was completely normal and examinable. I only had to palm a small part. It worked great and I gave away many to friends, never sold it. Much cleaner approach and more versatile. I like your use of the card, but no one can examine it.

    Only issue is, you get the clicking noises when you're moving the sharpie through. On a video that can easily be hidden/muted/edited out. But in person if you're moving along and you hear click click clack, it's just odd to a spectator and might give it away, no?

Because in most cases how you’re able to perform a trick is even more impressive than the magic itself. Great video!!!!
