I remember performing this trick for someone and when I got to the "how much would you bet" he confidently stated "I'll bet you a million bucks it's not." So I paused, considered, and with a shake of my head said "no, that just wouldn't be fair" as I flipped his card.
Brian eating fire and telling us not to do it at home, only with a profession was why I learned to eat fire. I was like "If you're showing how and 'wink winking' at us not to do it, I'm gonna do it. If you're showing me how and genuinely asking me not to teach myself, I'm DEFINITELY gonna repeat it!
As soon as Brian had them each cut the deck, I was thinking “would you be amazed if the next card I turn over is your card”? Key card principle at work. Loved this trick when I first learned it from Scam School.
Wasn't aware of that exact trick, but I've been a fan of the "How much you wanna bet the next card I flip is yours?" before flipping an already flipped card reveal for years.
Been doing this one for years. A great thing is if you have them shuffle, if they are sloppy enough you can spot the bottom card WHILE they shuffle. Then you can do the trick without ever touching the deck. Makes it a real miracle. (If you don’t spot the bottom, just pick the deck up and do it normally)
This was the first card trick I learned, and I found it in the great Mark Wilson's book. But the biggest magical moments I've ever had in life was when I perform my version of the "lie detection" trick you - Brian - taught me (i.e. the one using the phone as a shine). That was just an awesome trick, best one I know. I wish I could have you see me performing it.
My grandfather taught me this trick 40 years ago with the free beer closer and everything. I have a variation where I "smell" the cards to see which one they touched.
If someone does do the triple cut, which *does* change some of the deck order, all is not necessarily lost. I would just trudge ahead. The reason is, it'll only mix up the keycard order if they happen to do one of the two cuts exactly between the keycard and the chosen card, which thankfully is somewhat on the rare side. In fact, if you purposely start the trick with cutting in the middle, you can pretty much guarantee someone doing a triple cut won't wreck it. BUT it could happen, and so you don't get a free beer that time around. 🤷🏻♂
Funny thing, I learned this trick too but without the "going past the chosen card" bit. I added going past the chosen card myself and thought I was a genius. lol I have been using this ever since in various ways. And, I am always stunned at how many people are fooled by it. Great video! Big question though.. What's with all of the water and no beer? Cheers!
This is legit the best and easiest trick ever! I'm not a magician at all but I perform this trick often (both variations )and I people are amazed by this. The only hard part is the presentation and wording...sometimes people will quickly cut the deck into 4 or 5 parts or do an overhand shuffle and it will mess it up and I just hope the key card is still next to it. Sometimes I get lucky. Other times I fail. Oh well
If 80% of the time you get it right is good enough for you, they can pretty much do anything to the deck and as long as its limited you still get it right.most of the time.
I've learned countless card tricks over the years, but this is the one I keep coming back to because I'm terrible at remembering the others, and this one always impresses. This might actually be the first card trick I learned too.
The best part about card tricks is when you learn a few, then mix and match them to trip the person because you aren't using the same trick and process over and over. The worst part is when you get a smartass who doesn't follow the instructions and ruins the trick. "Haha very funny you bamboozled the magician because you saw through the trick and purposely broke it"... except the end result is that they just revealed they couldn't follow even simple instructions. I used to run a gambit of card and rubberband tricks, but the card tricks i had to pick and choose who i did it to and the degree of control. The partypoopers i never hand them the deck during the trick or else when i say "cut" they do a full on bridge shuffle and i just have to admit they ruined the whole thing. I just gradually stopped performing tricks for them since they clearly only enjoyed themselves by ruining it for others.
Me: "I guess I'll watch one more vid before I leave" -- *notices glasses* -- "Wait, those are really expensive aviation-specific glasses to help keep sound out of noise-cancelling headsets... Is Brian Brushwood a pilot?"... *spends next 30 minutes checking FAA pilot registry for different spellings of Brushwood*
This was my first trick as well. I think I was 7 or 8 and my mom showed me. I haven't performed it since I was a child and didn't get into magic since highschool.
Okay this gave me an idea. You mentioned you wouldn't touch the cards again but both times you did. This would be more risky but what if you had the spectator flip them. But then I thought what if they go to fast. So here is the big step up, have them read out each card as they flip it (slows them down) but now you really play it up as mentalism and you don't even look at the cards. No way you marked them. You are just listening to their tone and you can "hear the slight variation in tone" as they say their card out loud. In the chance their card is first the trick doesn't really work that well. Idk claim some Bs like you didn't get to establish a baseline
I used this trick in college and called it the "five dollar" card trick. Before I flipped, I flash the "next card" mockingly. You can also use sloppy riffle shuffles
Weird editing because the intro basically played twice. And I know videos start with a highlight to keep viewership, but why not just start from there and edit around it rather than repeat it?
Do you fellow cardicians ever be practicing some of that tasty prestidigitation and make some beautiful mistake, some improbable jewel of cardistry that is so technically hard, you'd never do it again, but try and try and try until you manage to find this quirk of card manipulation, but impasses all the way down. Then in a flow state, it appears twice. Who knows, may we find it in practice and performance. Maybe we're being commandeered in the matrix. Maybe we're born with it. Maybe it's...
Please go back to making new longer form videos, not just posting compilations of older material and shorts. A lot of people really dislike YT Shorts and don't watch them. (Yes, I know a lot of people watch them too.) I miss the experimental & interesting material. Reposting old stuff I've already seen is boring.
@@ModernRogue I went back and counted and there are 4 non-shorts and non-complilation of old videos (Best of...) in the month of November. And one was done by Deviant Olum. I don't know how that equals 6 in 12 days in Texas. If there's a holiday break happening that's fine. It just feels like the channel is mostly shorts and compilations for the last several months. And 90% shorts.

Brian mentioning the reason he started magic reminded me that the eating the lit cotton ball trick is why I started eating fire. Let’s go!

Ever hurt yourself doing it? Also I bet you followed his glass eating instructions too.

Hey, it worked for Penn and Teller, and look at them now, longest running show in Vegas.
Really!? What's their story?
Intro so good we have to hear it twice. 🤣

These bar bets vids are awesome! Hopefully you guys have alot more like this coming.
I also hope we get more on Modern Rogue but even if not, there's always the Scam Nation channel where Brian's done a lot of them.
@@MarvinCZ Didnt know about scam nation. Thanks so much! That channel is great!
@@imacracker515 I'm glad it was helpful, it really is awesome!

For extra sass, make sure to spread the cards while flipping them over, and actually use the card in your hand to separate and flip the correct one
Brett I hope you cover that wood up after filming. I see a bit of mold on the left. ❤️
the "with a match in your mouth!" comment literally almost killed me
great soundtrack choice
You should do an episode on competitive eating with the LA Beast
This was my first trick as well. I think I was 7 or 8 and my mom showed me. I haven't performed it since I was a child and didn't get into magic since highschool.

Heck yeah thanks Mr crew just learned the flirt florish so nice to have a few other tricks in my book
I love card tricks
Brian's entire Career is just spite at this point
I love this trick but sadly all my friends have seen similar tricks and suspect the "looking at last card" trick.
I used this trick in college and called it the "five dollar" card trick. Before I flipped, I flash the "next card" mockingly. You can also use sloppy riffle shuffles
Thank you Gordon
This feels like the Modern Rogue!!
I learnt this one and for me this was also my first trick. Ive gotten a lot of beer out of it XD
It's a neat trick, but what I don't get is at which point you look to see the bottom card.
Back to your roots
> Part 2
Wait, where's part 1? I don't remember seeing a part 1!
Part one from a few days ago: ruclips.net/video/8fvyS8ENS2U/видео.html
Original scam school vibes. Every bgt or agt magician have stolen your tricks
"You seem like an honest fellow" code for "I am suspicious of your entire existenxe and everything you stand for."
Love seeing Brett in MR eps.
He definitely looks less intimidating since his has grown.
This is similar to the trick that got me into magic, but id have the card come out of my mouth
how do you peek the "key card" tho?
You should do a puzzle box with chris ramsey
WHY IS THERE THREE DIFFERENT BRIANS?
I’d love to see Brian collab with Chris Ramsey! I think they’d hit it off and come up with an amazing set/new trick
ruclips.net/video/ct4OsKCYJ14/видео.html
It would be a really fun video to watch, because they both exude amazement.
Very fun.
Hmmmmm.... Scam school 2? Give us back the spiky hair Brian!
Funny you should mention that....

I did this for years and called it "The sucker card trick"
YO! What up Brian?!
What is the actual name of this trick?
"the key card"
@@ModernRogue thank you so much! Adding to my scam school
That was the first trick I learned from a live person. A Uni lecturer who like to play cards with his students during lunch. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
30th like. definitely gonna try this one out
Brushwood doing card trick without them spikey hair just doest feel right to me
Definitely a good trick, but it seems easier to do it just by forcing the card.
