Gimmicked "new" deck. Also skill. If you do the on table shuffle too well (cards collated one at a time from each half), and do it twice you can basically permutate between different forms of unshuffled decks. You can also do an over hand shuffles that are basically useless.

Think about the table shuffle. If you divide right in half you have aces at the top of each side. Now you have two aces at the top next to each other. If you split it in half again now you have four aces at the top. You just switched between an AKQ..AKQ.. ordering to an AAAAKKKKQQQQ ordering.

Now where do the fours come from? He gimmicked opening a new deck. So his set up order is AA...AA...33...44...

Even if it is, its still seemingly impossible. He shuffles it 3 times and cuts it.

How many times did he fail and only post the good one? Time on that watch is set and reset and reset by his hand.

It's a false cut. I only saw two table shuffles. If it's three then you just have to apply the algorithm deeper.

Actually at three shuffles the algorthm goes back on itself so the order is

AA..34..AA..34

These cuts are easy to do with keeping a section of cards together. They look 'random' but they're well practiced. (See my other post.)

I can shuffle a deck twice and the cards go nowhere. They just swap places twice.

When he's doing the on-the-table shuffle, he's clearly looking at the card faces...

Wow, could you please explain this one for me.

you're obviously very good at this but it's too bad your arrogant attitude makes it difficult to enjoy the artistry

This is not a gimmicked deck. This is 100% skill.

Bicycle decks are all organized, from the factory, in their sealed packages, in exactly the same way. Every time. Every deck, when first opened, is in exactly the same order as every other Bicycle deck you can buy. This guy knows where every card in that deck is, and has the skills required to move those cards around via perfectly accurate shuffling and cutting. It's hard to know for sure with the frame rate of this video, but it looks like he probably also used a little sleight of hand on the first shuffle and the "cut" he did at the end.

[ - ] dass 1 point 6 monthsOct 18, 2024 16:24:52 ago (+1/-0)

Ahh , here is showing how to do a trick, using some of his manipulation methods,. He basically controls the cards in the deck - and uses very limited sleight of hand techniques;.

You play bridge, palace, 3 hand pinochle, spades, etc by chance ?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 0 points 6 monthsOct 18, 2024 21:34:08 ago (+0/-0)

Double-deck, firehouse rules please.

Man, we played so much Pinochle in the Marines. I have a pretty solid Pinochle game on my phone. It's a great pacifier.

The deck of cards was opened at the bottom and stacked ahead of time.

(I do a bunch of these card illusions. I don't do tricks, that's what whores do for money.)

You'd be amazed how simple many of these 'tricks' are.

Notice how he didn't fan the deck to show you that the cards were aligned like they would be when it is a new deck of cards? Well, that's because it was already stacked and closed from the bottom so he could appear to be opening a new deck.

And now you know...

Yeah, this dude has countless hours of shit. He is fuckin good at what he does. I dig the snarkiness he adds to all of it too. Good shit. An asshole instead of a weirdo. That’s my kind of magician.

Jesus, I want to know how this is done. The hustle you could run with these skills, my God.

Similar to how TCG cards are all cut from a single sheet and packaged, if you know the order of cutting and packing (the algorithm used) and how the sheet is cut, you can build a probability of what cards will be in what package of what box. This becomes significant if you know a specific vendor has a large sequential number of boxes, allowing knowledge able individuals to hunt up rare cards with regular sucess.

In this guys case, his probability requirements are much less stringent as poker cards use a much smaller set of cards to draw from and are always consistent with the cards in each package (there is no randomness in the pack). So knowing how the manufacturer sorts the cards and knowing exactly what cuts he needs to make, causes what would seems to be unlikely to be very controllable.

He's also able to pull off the exact cuts to the deck, so he's very skilled.

You already lost $100, and the dealer has only shuffled.

This is NOT a "gimmicked" deck. Every single one of those decks behind him is a Bicycle brand deck. This is all I need to see to know what kind of cardman we're dealing with here.

Bicycle decks are all organized, from the factory, in their sealed packages, in exactly the same way. Every time. Every deck, when first opened, is in exactly the same order as every other Bicycle deck you can buy. This guy knows where every card in that deck is, and has the skills required to move those cards around via perfectly accurate shuffling and cutting. It's hard to know for sure with the frame rate of this video, but it looks like he probably also used a little sleight of hand on the first shuffle and the "cut" he did at the end. You could ask him to retrieve any 4, or I guess 8, cards with the trick shown in the video, and he could probably do it, every time, with just 3 shuffles and a "cut".

A good friend of mine in highschool could, and still can, do this shit, very well. He showed me how it all works, on the condition that I keep it secret ;)

[ - ] Empire_of_the_Mind 1 point 6 monthsOct 19, 2024 00:48:51 ago (+1/-0)

when he moves his hands off screen to throw away the package he's grabbing the cards. the second time he transfers them to the other hand where they go in a spot on the deck.

[ - ] 4thTurning 1 point 6 monthsOct 18, 2024 21:45:57 ago (+1/-0)

I used to sell stacked decks "factory sealed"

But I was just using a plastic wrap machine I got at a vhs store auction.
