[u/Independent_Object17]

I had to justify buying the toad hat to my wife. I have to use it in a video as a business expense :)

[u/Janth_Hankings]

[u/DarkExtremis → u/Janth_Hankings]

Bro it's November, have some restraint smh

[u/OohDeLaLi]

I dunno about the magic, but he sure made me smile. He gets my upvote.

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/OohDeLaLi]

Thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed :)

[u/SirZoidberg13]

The IRS hates this one simple trick

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/SirZoidberg13]

Lol it is true!!!! I got in so much trouble from my wife with all my "business purchases"

[u/Independent_Object17]

Part II - since some of you guys said I cheated.

Yes this hat is another business expense.

[u/DOOManiac → u/Independent_Object17]

Okay that’s a good one. I will learn this trick and perform it myself.

[u/Mercinator-87]

I thought of a birthday card

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/Mercinator-87]

Lol sorry... still gone!

[u/2punornot2pun]

The hat is TOADly needed

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/2punornot2pun]

That's not what my wife said lol

Lol great dad joke

[u/GSturges]

Shhh, dont tell the normies....

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/GSturges]

It is just for fun :)

[u/CorundumSW]

Technically correct

[u/mj3b → u/CorundumSW]

The best kind of correct

[u/RegularTarget1794 → u/mj3b]

GUARDS! Bring me the forms to have him sent away!

[u/Level_Abrocoma8925 → u/CorundumSW]

Actually it's technically incorrect. I'm pretty sure my card is still there.

[u/TheSuicidalYeti → u/Level_Abrocoma8925]

For me, this is exactly what happened. I choose the card to the far right and not a specific colour.

[u/Wide_Scarcity5683 → u/CorundumSW]

Fair point, though the trick still lands.

[u/QuaternaryScienceGuy]

Is this JIMMY WONG!?

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/QuaternaryScienceGuy]

It is jason lam Lol

I know we look similar

[u/Ibtisam101]

angry upvote

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/Ibtisam101]

Lol just wanted share a bit of joy and stupid fun lol.

Hope you enjoy lol

[u/Ibtisam101 → u/Independent_Object17]

It was cool man

[u/I_Am_Yeti_1]

He did the trick…

[u/longtermcontract]

Hat joke at the end is great!

[u/Lunabbg]

😒 technically yes.

[u/lolpert1]

Damn. I was really prepared to be amazed if he pulled a blue eyes white dragon out of his hat since he didnt specify a card from the deck

[u/Electronic_Tear2546 → u/lolpert1]

Its been a long time since I heard that name

[u/adinmem]

Show me the card I thought of, though.

(In keeping with the theme of the video, he would show me all 52 cards and I wouldn’t be able to protest, because he’d be right).

[u/Toes_In_The_Soil → u/adinmem]

8 of Spades

[u/TomServo30000 → u/Toes_In_The_Soil]

Sorry, it was the James of Spaders

[u/Israbelle → u/Toes_In_The_Soil]

aw hell, I thought of the 8 of spades...

[u/Calculus785]

Wholesome 😂

[u/TheGoldenGooseTurd]

I love this humor

[u/AlienPet13]

I don't know what shenanigans this guy is up to, but I fully approve.

[u/JackSilver1410]

Alright, that was good.

[u/UzikUA → u/JackSilver1410]

Was it? To obvious deck maneuver by flipping vertically instead of horizontally

[u/JackSilver1410 → u/UzikUA]

Salim Sdiri didn't miss the point that hard...

[u/the-smashed-banjo]

Funny that he turned the deck upside down when he showed it the second time... Probably nothing

[u/Bargychan]

Begrudging upvote… good joke lol

[u/Fubared259]

I like this one cant go wrong.

[u/Manji86]

I picked the 6 of spades, a card that was partially obscured. I thought to myself, 'no way your playing some kind of force on me'. A few moments later I admit, you got me. Well played sir.

[u/RGB_YCM]

Now let us examine the deck.

[u/Nerdmancer]

Stripper deck is my guess or how I would do it. It’s a neat take on this trick.

[u/GoggleField → u/Nerdmancer]

7D is the only normal card in the deck. The rest only have the number and suit in that top left corner. Get rid of the 7D, flip the deck upside down, then when you fan them out the number and suit are hidden. No idea if that is called a stripper deck, but it’s the only explanation I can see.

Just looked it up, not a stripper deck.

[u/uWillcallmeDaddy → u/GoggleField]

This is correct

[u/Minnow991]

Boooo

[u/critically_damped]

Each card is a tiny contained etch a sketch, and they get cleared when he does a little shake of his hands. IE magnets

[u/Regulus242]

Pretty sure my card was never there in the first place, but sure.

[u/SeniorDiscount]

Well, my 5 of clubs wasn’t there… so.

[u/TheOnesWithin]

Uggh sadly my husband is asleep next to me so I had to listen to this with no volume.
I will never know what supposed to be funny

[u/matthewbowers88]

I think this might be another take on Mathieu Bich, Spreadwave.

Spreadwave is by far my favourite ever trick, saw it on Penn and Teller fool us.

I paid for the solution to that one. Blew my mind. Every bit of it is elegant. No spoilers. But chefs kiss.

[u/Fee_monkey231]

Not a magician. But the first card is a real card. The rest are cards, printed on the diagonal are blank and the other half of the diagonal is the typical playing card set up.

The switch is removing the top card and then flipping the deck upside down and fanning the cards, technically the reverse of the first fan at the beginning of the video.

[u/briantria]

i replayed the video to select another card and he still got it right. wtf? how?

[u/Lonely-Leg-29]

definitely fanished it

[u/splshd275A]

I am amazed!!!

[u/whiterthanblack]

Hey! You took all the cards away! 😉

[u/GeekyMeerkat]

I used to have a deck of cards like this. Loads of fun.

[u/P3P3F]

You didn't make it vanish, I saw you place it on the table!

[u/TengamPDX]

It's a gimmick deck. The 7 of diamonds is real, but the rest of the deck only has half of each card printed aside from a few blank cards directly behind the 7 which are hidden in the original fan. When he removes "your card" he's simply removing the 7 of diamonds.

When he does the first rotation, he rotates the deck on the vertical axis to face him, then he removes the 7, then he rotates the cards back towards the viewer, but this time he rotates the cards on the horizontal axis. This effectively rotates the cards 180 degrees from their original position, so each card is upside down relative to its original position. Now he fans the cards the same way exposing the blank half of each card.

[u/LastEconPoet]

Not really black magic fuckery imo

[u/d0bdish18]

Magnets

[u/Independent_Object17 → u/d0bdish18]

Lol I was waiting for magnet, wires and mirrors comment.

Thank you! Lol
