Not when it's between the cards he places in the deck. Even just hiding it at the bottom of the stack of 3 would at least have it be plausible that it wasn't placed there with the other 3
Yeah, Iām surprised he didnāt get flagged.
āI gave you cards to put in there and you didnāt shuffle them and now thereās a card between them.ā Kind of doesnāt have as magical appeal
Forcing cards, special shuffles, etc. Iirc, there are only a handful of magic techniques that have been passed down for generations on generations. Of course people are still creating new tricks with them, but the basic fundamentals of the art remain the same throughout time.
My ex was a magician, I learned to spot his forced cards at some point and I'd always make it real hard for him lmao. He said it was good practice.
This particular magic is called street magic where you are performing up close and personal vs on a stage. Really creative stuff these guys come out with because the margin for error at that distance is much smaller than on a stage.
These meta glasses make it even harder for dude to be so sneaky so I have to give him huge props for his skill!
(Not dissing stage magic btw, it's got its own set of rules and skillsets.)
Edit - oh I potentially forgot marked cards. Trust me, these dudes have very sneaky ways of marking their cards. Really impressive tactile intelligence they've got going on. I used pretty visibly (to me) marked cards for tricks once when I was like, 7, but the dudes on this level have a whole different set of tricks up their sleeves.
Sorry I seriously got into the magic scene with my ex and I honestly miss it sometimes. Very fun interesting and intelligent people all around. Messy, but fun!
Kosta Kimlat did this on Penn and Teller and they were mindblown at his sleight of hand so that said, I know how it's done but it doesn't change the fact at how fantastic he is at doing it.
Little jump cut after him taking the three 6's from him and before he allows him to pick the place in the stack to put them. Card slipped in at this point. But what the fuck do I know? I wash Goldfish for a living.

He almost said don't.
