How would you do that? Just keep doing the cuts until you sneak a peek at one of those cards on the bottom? Sorry if this seems sarcastic, it's not meant to be. I am trying to learn all these little secrets to go with the tricks as I learn them. I have a habit of messing up and any little secret could help. lol

This tip prevents your chances of cutting an ace or king to the top!

@Steventaputoro Hi Steve. Hey l am sending you an email and it will show that it works and where l learned it from. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks 😊

I didn't think that will happen

@@ClipsEtAl it has happened to me *a lot* ! Still looking for an out when it happens - a K or Q on top, and fewer than 11 cards in the stack kills the trick

I have exactly the same questions because it happens to me that one of the top cards was an ace.

Definitely not sure if I'm right, but my thoughts are... Since it is a sequenced deck, if you end up 1-3 cards short, just make up a good story/ reason to move to the next pile and count down from there? And then continue? Since the aces will always be spaced out however many cards down this should correct the off chance there is not enough cards. I might be completely wrong, and you just have to find a way to get them to restock and have them cut again.

Great trick! Indeed, bad luck if you get a K and run out of cards... how do you get away with that?

Hi Steven, I hope all is fantastic with you and your family. I love your videos. Thanks for your PRO tricks and tutorials. I learned tons of excellent tricks over the past 5 or 6 years, and I continue to learn new tricks and new moves to improve the old tricks and possibly add a few flavors to the new tricks that I learn. I always enjoy helping others like you do. ❤ I would love to share a few tricks with you sometime. You had me fooled with this one, but I kept thinking you were using short cards, short corner cards, or each ace had a crimp in it, which I hate. Lol. I recently learned a trick like this that you might already know. You put an ace thru king, all the same suit ( hearts), on the bottom of the deck. The ace of hearts is the bottom card. A card is chosen from the top third of the deck, or a card is forced and put on top of the deck. Cut the deck and complete the cut, putting the ace on the chosen card, somewhere in the middle of the deck. Turn the deck face up, and you or the spectator can cut the cards. Cut the face-up deck and put the top half to the right. If the card that was cut to is not a heart, continue to have the deck cut until you or the spectator cuts to a heart. When you see a heart, turn that half face down so that card is on the bottom, and turn the other half face down and put it on top of the bottom half. Whatever number the heart card was, deal that many cards face down and the last card dealt is the chosen card. Lookin frwd to your next video. Take it easy, man.

Its redundant, the spectator gets the ace, since it would mean to get the first card (ace is first, 2 is second, etc)

Great question. Simply ask them to cut the cuts as even as possible. This will avoid that issue. Hope that helps!

@@SteventaputoroI don’t think that’s a good answer. Exactly even is 13 cards per pile. 12 cards is pretty darn close to even. And if the King shows up, then it’s not in that pile. Could you not just go to the pile next to where that pile was cut from and count down the 1 or 2 you need? Also, if the top card is an Ace, that just goes on the picked card pile. Not sure the best way to present that without ruining the reveal.

Just happened to me. Nice trick but I ran out of cards in 2 piles and everything got screwed up

Happened to me twice, when they drew Kings and the piles didn't have 13 cards. In both cases, I ignored those piles but that kind of muffs the performance. I don't have an elegant way out of that scenario, really.

Have a 2nd deck stacked ready to go :)

@@crackerjackgaming609 woah thats great!!!! Congratulations....!!!

Tadaa!

just tell them in this trick the aces' value is 0 and just put it in the front

I like it 🤙🏽

@@Steventaputoro found your channel by magic😏 now subscribed, excellent stuff

Appreciate the sub mate 💪🏽

Anytime especially for somebody who has done great content and make things easy for stupid English people like me🤗

hi Steve, what happens if the top card is a king and less than 13 cards same with the Q. thanks @@Steventaputoro

Stunning.

It's simple. It has several causes. First of all, you are proving that you only raised one card, excluding the double lift. It might be a bit over the top for a layman, but it doesn't hurt to make sure the viewer doesn't speculate. On the other hand, a tiny little effect that simply looks good or sounds good, so it will be cool to a viewer. Of course there are many other ways that look better, I do it differently. I think it's also satisfying. And eventually, I think it becomes a habit, like when we drop cards or something.

coz you not are magician

​@@sitkeizsoltok. I understand that. Showing that it's one card and not 2. I get it now.

It's just when I learned I learned to try and make the double and single lifts looks the same. That's why I never snapped the card or flicked it with my fingers.

Its just a little bit of flamboyance
