Brilliant trick.You know, you can even throw in a face card to avoid suspicion.If all the cards seem to be in the order you put them in, then you can tell that they had selected the face card, right?

I was doing magic bout 12-13 years but I haven't seen such smart intelligent magic and I can't BELIVE u reveal them!! Thanks for reveals

"Scam School, meow meooooow. Scam School, meow meooooooooooow."

When I was young we had a bicycle deck with two bicycles, a wheel and 3 wings on the back. The wings were such that one was pointing up and the other two were pointing to the sides. I think it's called a league back. I did this trick as a young boy, having arranged the wings to all point in the same direction. Thanks Brian, this video brought back some fond memories.

Seriously one of the best channels ever

Hey Brian im new to Scam School but find every episode ive watched ive enjoyed thank you for bringing back fun times and good laughs

This is now one of my favorite tricks!!! Thanks Brian :)

I came from the FAVORITE card trick of all time video from scamschool and the guys there also picked the 3 of hearts the first time! lol!

good...good...you really deserve the subscription of this simple beginner !

I don't normally like cheesy tricks but this one was pretty cleaver. Thumbs Up

Great trick! Thanks for sharing. Tip: It's much easier to perform if you go through the deck first and put all the "psychic" cards upright (without an audience). That way when you're selecting each card, you don't give away clues by turning some cards upright and not turning others.

So easy and so impressive! thanks mr Brushwood

A oldie but still a great impromptu card effect easy to learn and fun to play at venues or drinking session

i dig this channel dude....its addictive

THis is the best school ever! No need to pay, free learning trick!

These videos are so intersting to me as I see Brian going through the same exact transformation I went through during this time. I also went from being a punk to a husband in about four years.

The best!! I really love this!

Best. Channel. Ever

I love how the only people he doesn't scam is his viewers.

This one was great, so simple and elegant. I'd do it telling them to say "that's not my card" on every card I show them to make it even more confusing (as if I was spoting the card from their tone of voice or something).

I re-invented this trick like 8 or 9 years ago... I was like 10. As soon as I saw him sorting the 3 first cards, I knew what he was gonna do. Still my favorite trick.

i really cant figgure it out :p watched it over and over its a really clever trick awesome thx

Every time I perform his given tricks it works and without any mistakes and as every time thumbs up

cool trick bro :D very happy with this

Wow ! That was brilliant !!!!

OMG this is sooo old... my father showed me this when i was kid. So memorable~

good and easy one ....... just awesome !!!

Cool trick! Very clever. Also nice shirt. :)

i watch scam school all the tim and its getting beter every time

I Love That You Always Have A Big Letter At Each Word!

His T-shirt is a magic trick in its self, it predicts future spongebob memes

haha.. nice come-back :) just found your work on here, i'm in australia, gonna win me some beers

I about fell off my bed laughing when he screamed burn the witch!!! It was hilarious!!!

If you happen to have a non-standard deck where every face is asymmetric, you can make it even more deceptive. Come up with a simple rule like "odd cards are right-side up, even cards are upside down," and as you go through the deck in the beginning, build your "psychic" pile out of cards that are following your rule. That way you can use slightly more cards (26 cards on average, instead of 22) and it'll look like you just picked random cards; there's no risk of someone calling you out for not picking any face cards. You also won't raise suspicion by turning cards around; the cards you use are the ones that are already set up the way you want.

hey guys you are so funny..........I enjoyed it very much......such an amazing trick..

I save a link to this trick. i am going to teach my 8 yr old daughter! (after using it on her...heh)

Can also be done with Tally-Ho Circle Back cards, they have a VERY subtle one-way feature. But I do like this method for the showmanship of having some cards that "speak to you" more than others. And, I guess this also lets you use any deck that the spectator might give you.

Awesome man ! subscribed :)

I love your shirt in this video. Very cool.

I recently just went to a high school freshman retreat. I performed this trick and the controlled cards trick. People loved it! :D also a few people figured out the controlled cards one :(

I use your stuff every time I got to the bar. I don't always get free drinks, but it's always fun.

that was COOL dude!

That feeling when a joke flies over someone's head. For great justice!!! :D

Great trick brian. I learnt it and showed to my buddies and they blew away and they think I have magical skills. Thnxs

Awesome :) I do a similar thing to this with the borders of the cards. Often the top or side borders of the back of a card are different, even if the rest of the card is symmetric. Trips people out big time! :D

I love seeing a trick when I know exactly how it's done when I see it. My uncle taught me this trick not too long ago XD Ppl are absolutely gobsmacked by this!

This is awesoooommmeeeee!!!!!!! :)) I just tricked my colleagues!!! Thanks for sharing!

Great vid, man I totally fooled my mom. SHE FREAKED OUT!

I tried this for the school talent show and I got first place, thank you so much!

I learned this trick in a book, I knew exactly what it was from the get go. I use it all the time it's my favorite card trick.

Brushwood's a Daniel Johnston fan! Love it

i've got a deck where there are markings on the back that tell me if it's upside down or not...... well, i only found one of the markings but it's actually pretty genius. so, thanks scam school, i can perform this trick with any deck, or add a bit of variety with my own :D

11:57 XD LAWLZ! I could watch that all day! "Oh my god it's a wizard!!"

Barber : What style do u want Him : I want something that will make peoples jaws drop Barber : say no more

One way that I like to end it is that I take a look at the cards and then count which order their card is at. Then I say: "Okay, I am going to play a game with you." I deal the cards, knowing the exact location of their card I secretly count to know where their card is. Then I say "Okay, you have to find YOUR card with the cards faced DOWN" (Sometimes I make piles of three, piles of four etc.) And I tell them that they have to guess. (Of course with multiple chances) And while you know where the card is, they will barely guess the exact card. It gives you a great reaction because it involves the audience and it puzzles them because it just gives them more questions to ask like "How did he know my card when he shuffled it without any funny moves" "How did he know which card was mine when it was faced down?"

I miss scam school, I'm glad they youtube'd it

Who here stopped watching the main part and look at a clip from the background basketball game for a few seconds?

Did this to my friend, he instantly caught up on it. Watched my hand and how i was setting the cards down every time.

Thnx MAN !!!!!!!! It's AWESOME

Brilliant trick!

I'm kinda surprised you've met professional magicians that were fooled. I thought of this trick myself as a kid (but without a "psychic card" setup, I just started with a part deck). I was reminded of it by the obviousness that the ace of spades has a top and bottom, then was certain by the way he kept the cards the same way when he ripple shuffled.

my grandfather taught me this trick when i was young and after that i showed it to all my friends they were just flabbergasted

all about the daniel johnson shirt brian. nice touch.

wow, this trick is pretty cool

i know this trick and leaves an awesome expresion on the tricked persons faces...it is awesome

awesome i can figure out lots of tricks as i do tons of card magic myself but i didnt catch this at all

Your tricks are useful

thanks brian best trick

Cool trick, how do you know which side they are going to put in first based on how they are holding it?

I came up with this trick, when I was a kid, all on my own. Fyi: can do with an entire deck, if it's a picture deck, or other asymmetrical back/front (although if the back is TOO asymmetrical, it's way too obvious, and requires some funny handling of the cards not to give it away)

I learn it it's really easy and awesome!

Really awesome trick Brian! But what would you do if someone drops your deck of "psychic" cards while shuffling and messes up the one way principal?

Super cool trick. Sometimes when I do it. Mainly to people who already seen it. I discard some of the asymmetrical cards too,( I have only 3 nines or 2 sevens). So people dont see the pattern so easily.

Ironically, my dad loves tricks and scams, so his secret stash actually consisted of many trick coins, cards, and cutlery.

amazing trick!

I learned this trick when I was a child: just about 50 years ago.

well after two videos I'm subscribing

nice Daniel Johnston shirt :)

I just messed with a master magician 7 years in the making. Feeling so proud.

cool shirt brian:D

aweeeeeeesome trick!!

thats the same couple thats in "Trick Friends like a Con Man with Cards!" episode... wow thats amazing, how did Brian do that?

Very cool tricks tnx

Scam School Been performing this trick for 20ish years. I use a reveal where I tell them to watch the cards and not react in the same way, however, I flip them one at a time and pretend to study their face. When I their card is flipped, I'll say "$5 says it'll be the very next card flipped" they take the bait every time and I flip their card face down.

I actually knew this one before I saw this video. It baffled me too the first time

They looked so awkward when you said "now lets thank the people that make scam school possible" lol

This trick is brilliant

Nice shirt brotha

thats my trick damnnit!!! always use it, its easy and fast!

I actually already knew this one except I use the back of the cards. some decks have a white outline around the back edge of the card and the top is thicker than the bottom or left is thicker than right this way you don't even have to look at the front of the cards and I think it's a lil better that way and more psychic. besides that I do it the exact same way

Nice shirt brushwood!

cool i have got to try that

ive known this trick for years n have been doing this trick on many people n my ive learned from my mom whos learned from over 40yrs ago n i was just thinking about telling you this one

AWESOME!!!

I was surprised when I saw that Utah sign in the back at the end of the video. lol I'm from Utah xD PS. This trick is really cool thank you!!!!!!

That is mental!

this is really awsome

Awesome magic trick ever!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😎😎😎😜😜

Brushwood - u rock
