Card Magic Trick: Design Dynamic Playing Cards

1. 1. Trailer and What you Need: Hi guys, My name is because I've been a magician for the past 14 years. And in this Skillshare course, we're going to be looking at a clerk magic effect, which I like to call the design dynamic playing chords. In this effect, we're going to be showing three chords and they're going to change the design on their back one after the other. At the core of this magical effect, or three different ways to count playing chords. By counting playing cards. I'm now referring to counting cards in a blackjack game. That's a different, different types of course. But actually counting cards in a way in which we can actually conceal information from the spectator so that we can have a magical effect. For this Skillshare course, you are going to be needing three playing cards and hence, no knowledge of any slight offense. So if you're a complete beginner, this is okay because I'm actually teaching it as if you don't know anything about slider, fan or Card Magic. Welcome guys to the dynamic playing cards. Getting into it. 2. 2. Performance: What I have here are three courts would have seemed design on the back. What is nice about discourages that if you leave them long enough on the table, they will actually change their back design. Now we have a red design on the queen of hearts. We have a red design on the ace of diamonds, and we have a redesign on the seven of hearts. Quite a fascinating thing to happen. Don't you think? Leave them long enough again and they will change their bag design to a blue design. Now we have a blue design of blue design and another blue design on each card. These are one electric cars design dynamic playing cards. And this is what we're going to learn in this Skillshare course. 3. 3. The Playing Cards: The first thing that we're going to need is three poker playing cards from three different decks of cards. Now, I have chosen them so that they're pretty different from one another. We have blue, we have red and we have black. One is minimal, and the other one are quite heavily designed on the back. Not only the bag design is different from one another, but the plague course themselves differentiate from one another. We have a number code here with many spots. We have an ace which is a symbol of itself, and we have a chord, chord, the queen of hearts. I've chosen these so that even when counting, people have a visual stimuli which they can see playing cards of different value. It's something that magicians Like doing because it feels like it helps the magical effect. Now once you have the three chosen cards, please them in any order. I like to start with the black one on the bottom, and I put the cards either on the table or I put them in my pocket. Now, let's look at the three different ways in which we are going to be counting these codes. 4. 4. The First Phase: The first way that we're going to be counting the cards is called the floor station count. Using this count, we're basically going to be showing the three chords as having a black back when in reality they're all different. You already know this. The way that we do this is by holding the packet of codes at the corner with the thumb at the bottom and the middle finger right here at the other corner. We're holding the packet right over here in this position, just like forming a C with our right hand here are the coordinates and we're turning our restores the right showing the bottom one. We pull the card from the top with our left thumb, will show the next one. Then we take the next card and we showed the last one a beautiful count. The floor station currently it's easy, it's visual, and it always flies by. People never really see that. You're showing the same card three times. It's a beautiful count. This is actually what we're going to be using at the first phase. 5. 5. The Second Phase: In the second phase, we're actually using a succession of double lifts. We are going to be showing that the queen of hearts now has a different vector design. By doing this, we're actually pushing two chords over here and turning them as one. This is what it's called the double turnover. Now, in order to do this, it might feel difficult, but because you have three chords, it's quite easy to hold back one single chord and push the other tool. We do this by moving our left thumb at the outer left corner of the three chords. We go at the side of the packet and we push it towards the left, towards the right. I apologize. By pushing it, those two chords will stay as one, while the seven of hearts is left back in the palm. And just push those two. I apply quite a bit of pressure over here. And I turned the card back on the deck. Again, I pushed the chords and I turned the code back as it was. If you don't want to do a double turnover each time, you can actually out to jog that the course, this is what it's called an outer jog. This actually allows me to grab the chords instantly without having to do another double turnover like this. Just put them back. I think the Queen and I put it on the bottom. It's very important to notice how I put it on the bottom. I took it and I went like this similar motion that we're going to be doing in quite a second. We always want to mimic the exact same motions throughout the effect. Now we have the ace of diamonds were gonna push it, doing it and show it that has got a red back. If previously you've pushed it out, jogged it, then you're gonna do the same thing with a single cored out Jack the card. We're gonna take the ace and notice how we're taking it. We're pushing all three chords. We're taking just the eighth. Then the second card we're gonna be pulling back, but at the same time, left pinky is going to push up on the card and hold a pinky breed. This is what is called a pinky break. Probably, if you're watching this tutorial, you already know what a pinky break is. We hold a pinky break or there and we stood the ace of diamonds in that gap. At this point, we're going to do another double turnover by pushing those two courses. One, turning the cords which show the bag design. And we turn them back as they were. To finish off this entire phase, we're going to push the last card as well to seven and put it on the bottom of the deck. Again, we leave the course down and now we can continue with the third phase. 6. 6. The Third Phase: We're now going to be doing what is called a Roomba account created by the master magician, JP value Arianna from France. We grabbed the cards and we grabbed them just like in the first station count over here, we turn our wrist to reveal that they have been changed and we put them in the left hand. Notice how I just clip them with my thumb and index finger will show the first card. Now we turn our right wrist inwards. We place the thumb on the face of the cards and the rest of the fingers on the side. This is actually going to help us push two cards from over here as one while we retain the top card. So we grab the cards, be prepared to push those two cards. We turn around and then we push those two chords. As we pull this card at an angle, it happens quite automatically that this angle is itself. We've pushed the thumb, pulls it at an angle. This point we're gonna leave the cards from underneath, just fall down by releasing our group on them with our right hand. And then we're going to turn them around in the left hand. As the first chord go underneath again, we turn the second card, and this is the third card. The runbook count is actually the most difficult of the three. So let's go over it once more. We'd have the three chords. It was the blue design, yes. We grab it from underneath. We come at the side with our fingers, turn our wrist, and then we pulled the car. I apologize, I have to do it from here. Grab it. We turn and we pulled the cart. This is basically, you can think of it the other way around this world. You're holding those two chords and you're moving with your thumb at an angle. Just the thumb is moving while those two chords are staying as one. So you either push those two cards and you angle this or those two cords stay as your thumb moves, stores and angle. Try both and see which one better fits. You're handling. I do this by actually applying pressure from the top with my thumb. I apply pressure down on the card and then I move the car towards an angle. And because my fingers are here at the side of the cards, these two cards cannot actually move together if they wouldn't be there. This is what would happen. See it actually spreading all of them. But if my fingers are there at the side and I pull this card, those two will stay as one. I reverse this codes over here in case they split up. It doesn't matter if they split up. You come here, you start reversing them. If you would reverse them like this, people would see the code that it has a different banks on what you do with your index finger. You square it up with your left thumb, you square root up as well. Please the court down, turnaround and continue doing the Roomba count. One last advice on the Roomba account is when you're actually doing this, see if you do it way too soon. People are going to see the back of the card. You have to do it when you're around here. We pull the card down. Not yet, Not yet here. When you do it fast, it happens instantly. And that is the third phase. And congratulations, you have learned the Roomba count. 7. 7. Putting it all together: Now let's put everything together. What we've learned, those three counts and tight all into a beautiful story. I like putting the packet with the black card in my pocket. I tell people that have recently acquired three very beautiful chords that are actually designed dynamics. Notice that I am seeing this as I'm actually presenting the design on the back all being black. The court starts with the same design, but if you leave them long enough on the table here for a second, I picked them up and say, What's fascinating is that design on the back changes. Notice I saved this one. I actually turn the court around to reveal that the design has changed. This actually helps have a bigger impact on the spectator as you're revealing and seeing what's happening at the same time. Do the first one, I put it underneath, the ace of diamonds as well, has changed on the back. And the seven of hearts has changed as well. Or three chords now have a different design. But since there are three chords, I will store that they were going to be three designs. So let's see, yes, we have a last design as well. You can see the ace of diamonds is now blue, the queen of hearts is now blue, and the seven of hearts is now blue as well. Notice how every time I take the time to name the card and the design on the back in the beginning, I don't do it. I just present the course because they're just three normal playing chords. I don't, I don't really feel the need to say anything about them. They've seen the phases, they've seen the backs. But now, as they change color, they become much more important. Notice how the Queen of Hearts has changed its back. The seven of hearts as changed this back. And even the ace of diamonds has changed, is back. Now if we leave them long enough, they're going to change their back. Again. We have the seven of hearts, hope right over there. That was a nice mistake. The queen of hearts and the ace of diamonds. All of them now have a red design on the back. At the end, you can even throw in a bonus floor station count if you want. It is not necessary. But what is necessary is that you have a concept around it. And this is the concept that I really loved. Design dynamic of cards. 8. 8. Making it YOU: Now that you've learned the design dynamic playing cards, you actually have three tools in your hand. Actually, I would say for tools in your hand, you'd have three different ways of counting playing cards, which you can use them in other magical effects which you have learned or want to learn. And you have a trick, a trick, idea, concept, design, dynamic, plain quotes. This is what I love most about learning magic from other magicians, is that if they come up with a nice story, you can actually use the same story, but presented in your own unique way. You have to remember that you have your own unique personality and I have my own unique personality. At the end of the day, if you sit down and come up with your own story, then you're going to have something that caters to your personality and character. And it's going to be much more personal. And when magic is personal, it feels much more impactful. So my advice for you before we end, I want to say IN, but we're ending this Skillshare course together is to take the time to make what you perform. Personal bindings Bears, Thank you very much for watching my Skillshare course. You can learn much more sleight-of-hand encourage magic here on my Skillshare. Be sure to check them out.
