Haven’t shown any magic for a while.
Can’t be bothered to record a new trick.
Here’s an old one.

It’s Magic Monday. I tried to record a trick but my brain is fried from drunken activities over the weekend and so instead you are getting the result of me attempting to record a trick and failing. Many times.

the best card trick in the world

It’s Monday which means I owe you a magic trick. I recorded this one a few days ago in the pub. There’s no sound so I’m going to explain what’s going on. The camera angle is not ideal, but this can be used to your advantage because it makes it pretty easy to figure out how the trick is done. So watch, learn, and impress your friends.

2 spectators pick a card each and then place them on top of the deck. The deck is shuffled and cut into two equal piles. A spectator holds one pile while the magician holds the other. The magician takes half of the cards from one pile and turns them face up and places them on the face down half. The same is done with the pile the spectator is holding. These 2 piles are then put on top of each other. The cards magically all turn back the right way around except for the 2 cards the spectators chose.

I’ve decided that I’m going to rename Mondays to Magic Mondays. Why? Every Monday I’m going to post a video of me doing a magic trick. You’ll either see the trick working or you’ll get to laugh when it goes wrong. Either way, it’s a win-win situation for you. If you’re in the London area, watch out. In the next few weeks I will be approaching unsuspecting people on the street and sawing them in half. You don’t want that one to go wrong.

The videos will start off with basic tricks to get you in the mood, and will slowly build up to bursts of awesome.

So, are you ready? Let the show begin. [cue scary thundery music]
