I started a new social care job recently, supporting young males in residential care. They were having a bbq today: I'd made it known at my interview I liked doing card magic. One of my colleagues remembered this, and invited me to do some. I did this one in front a group - along with a couple of others you've posted. They all went down very well - which was a relief 😊

As someone who is trying to get back into things that bring me life, doing card tricks has brought me joy again. I love seeing people's faces in awe trying to figure out what I'm doing. These are great to great tutorials 🙌

Great effect! I've done this a few times and made adjustments to my setup pile. The odd card is placed in the middle of the setup pack instead of the bottom and I use a black card on the bottom as my spotter. Spread the entire deck faceup to start to show everything and then create my two piles from there. An extra final reveal I use, I have another full deck of cards in the box on the table beforehand and mentioned I've also made a prediction the day before revealing in the other deck a face down card being the final odd card. Reactions are pretty amazing. During the shuffling process, I let them riffle shuffle etc, do all the mixing. Thanks for sharing this trick.

I think this is a great trick to follow another trick where you force the three of diamonds to be their chosen card. Also: I think the effect has much more impact if you leave the cards entirely in their hands after you split the deck into two packets. You can just instruct them easily from then on. They can shuffle both packets to their heart's content. You can explain to them how to make the flowers out of the packets. They can flip and mash to their heart's content. Once they've finished flipping/mixing and done the last flip and squished the piles together back into one, It doesn't even matter if they're in a neat pile. All that matters from there is which cards are face up and the fact that they match your prediction. Squaring the deck up yourself just creates unnecessary suspicion even though It's actually fair and you're not actually changing. anything. If they do everything after you split the deck for them, and you never touch the cards again during the trick, it will hit much harder.

Excellent. Love your effects. One word of caution: When you spread the cards to divide into 2 packs , make sure you keep the cards above the 3D together. I messed up by splitting them the wrong way ... duh !! Lol... In presenting the deck . My way to do this : Spread cards face down and ask - " are any of these cards face up ? " they say no .. Now turn them over and say - are any face down? - they'll say no .. now pick them up and spread them in your hands , slowly adding, and all the cards are mixed right? - at this moment you can cut at the 3D and kinda compare packets , saying OK, this looks like 2 evenly cut packs -- which one do you want ?? Boom ! Nice touch-- makes no difference who has which packet . ❤

Genius!! I'm a try this out later

What?! I have not seen the solution yet but this is like magic!

This is an OLD effect and I’ve always loved it. I used to keep a folded paper with multiple folds that would reveal the predictions. Ended up opening to a full page showing the final prediction. Good stuff. EDIT: made this comment before the video finished. I see you mentioned the paper. Mine was printed out but same idea. 😂

great trick.. will try today on my walk about..

Amazing trick mate...thanks bro

Matt...You're absolutely correct...I surprised myself, twice! There really is "magic" in the cards. Your style of presenting and teaching is a joy...I have now nailed 6 of your tricks and I think my grandsons will most likely drop their proverbial Jaws! Cheers

Amazing ❤ mind-blowing magic 🎉

Holy cats! Mind blown. thank you very much.

So fun. Love it. Thank you so much.

Wonderful 🎩

I saw this trick a good five years ago, i really gobsmacked when i saw it, then surprised how straightforward it is to do. Your is different in a big way, especially when you shuffle the cards together. Yours is a lot quicker and easier to do.

I love this trick. Reminds me a lot of Lennart Green’s ”Rain man” which I have been performing for many years. Simon Aronson first published the principle in 1980. By the way, it spells ”Shuffle-bored (it is a play on words).

That was really good ❤

What a great effect! Absolutely loved that one. Really convincing with how mixed up they all are right from the get go!👍👍

You're spreading joy and surprise. I am using your tricks as I go around to Senior Living facilities, re-hab facilities and entertaining shut-ins. Your tricks are so much fun to perform and they never fail to bring joy to the spectators. Thanks from all of them!

Excellent trick and explanation. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks

Love it!

I am so saving this video. Great video

Awesome! My son and I are learning these. Amazed. Thanks!

Matt WOW!! What a trick thank you so much for sharing my new favourite trick take a bow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Best..Card Trick…Ever!! 👏👏👏 Thank you

A really nice trick, well explained, thanks!

Appreciated your efforts for showing every single details also that canva thing thanks man keep making people happy❤️

Love this one 🤯😁♣️♥️♠️♦️

This is an amazing self working trick. I've seen a very similar one that was called 'except the ace of spades' I can't remember it exactly but it was similar to this, I think the jokers were involved for some reason? Anyway, an impressive trick that is nice when you know you're not gonna stuff it up with a botched sleight of hand lol

That is one awesome trick. Gotta try this...

An absolutely superb effect. I’ve been performing for 20+ years and this is completely new to me. It’s fooling everyone I’m showing it to. I LOVE it. Thank you sharing it with us.

I’m not even sure how or why this works, but it does. Mind blown, thank you very much. 🖤

Wow what a great trick. You are giving me great pleasure as I am learning all your tricks as they are so much fun. Another truly great trick. Make sure you keep them coming

Great performance. This is one of the best tricks I’ve had from BBM and this one has a different twist which is awesome

I tried this - the first time it didn't work. However, after trying again, it worked. Tried a third time to make sure it wasn't a fluke - it worked again. I've done the instagram thing you spoke about (with a thanks to you in the description) and I can now add it to my arsonal of card magic/tricks 😊

Learned this also from Oscar Owen, your version is smoother and easier. Thanks for sharing!

This is very awesome

Great! Beginner here, but I've been tinkering with a trick idea (no gimmicks or slights, easy force) and realized a shufflebored stack could be recycled at the end of shuffleboard for what I have in mind! I'd love to hear your thoughts and improvements, and share if you like it. Great videos!

Another nice trick 😮

Yes this is a fantastic trick. I did it only last week to a group and the reactions were great. I have the set-up above a short card do i can riffle up to the break.

I just want to say .. I am very picky about the tricks I like to learn and perform .. there are so many on here that state they are the best trick ever and I end up turning it off even before the tutorial…. However .. this trick you showed ( and explained very clearly) is well up there with those I enjoy showing and leave the bewildered victim thinking …. How ??

consider my mind blown - great trick

Totally gob smacked. I’ll think I’ll be using this for….. ever! We’ll done mate!

Learned this from Oscar Owen. I like your version better. Thanks!

Thanks. Figger'd out how it works, and developed other tricks on this format.

thank you sir. I'm getting back in magic since i was a 10year old. So thanks for these fantastic tutorials.

Thank you for sharing this beauty, btw I just became your follower no. 10101 😂

hi Matt as a kid you ran my magic circle you really supported me with the magic and drove me down to Blackpool one year for the convention, So weird seeing your face pop up on YT all these years later im 38 now! hahaha good to see you again.

I once watched a movie, produced in around 1993....but i dont know it's title. A young newbie magician showed how to make dissapear a coin in his hand to a professional magician. The professional magician responded by snapping his fingers and produces the whole deck of cards in his hand. Tilli now i am still wondering if such a trick can be done, or just a special effect 🤔

So this trick could be done with any cards, and any number of cards as long as it doesn't look too uneven. Which means you could make any prediction you like in any way, which is nice. My first thought was to have a second deck of cards where the top cards are the same, in a random order, and use them to predict what cards should be.

wow... this is incredible. I am wondering, how could it working... but i am wondering much more, how could someone find out such a trick? It is great! Many thanks for sharing with us! :)

Classic.

#Lennart Green #Rain Man #Paul Wilson #Feeling nostalgic

Just unreal.. thank you so much this is fucking awesome 😂😂😂

You made another prediction that came true.... I fooled myself! Another BRILLIANT trick. Thank you so much. Cant wait to try this one out in the community,

Great performance, hope you're enjoying the cruise (assuming you're still on it)

Hi Matt, if one wants to do several self working tricks in a row but they require different set ups, how do you deal with that. Thanks!!!!

Could you give a bit more detail where/how you created the slide on your instagram? Many thanks. Btw, Ali Bongo had a very way of unfolding the paper predictions.

Great trick! Quick question though. How do u make it sio the spectators actually flip over a pack over easily? I find that some ppl arent good at handling cards and might drop a few cards from the mess.

This is one of my favourite tricks that always fools 👍👍👍👍

❤

Question: Does it matter what shuffle is used by either yourself or your audience ? Brilliant trick by the way !

wow this is so old you made a small change to the end I did this so many years ago Ali Bongo showed it to me like 40yrs or more ago I think it was his trick.

Great trick. How would you do this if you're a grown man who's not on social media?

Is it possible to do the trick without making the flowers with the cards?

Remonds me of an Aldo Columbini effect

Matt, I’ve tried the trick 15 times and it isn’t working. Followed your directions exactly but it keeps giving me the wrong numbers. I can’t figure out what I may be doing wrong. Can you help?

He said that they will surely say the 3 of diamonds is not even. I tried this on my parents none of them realised 😂😂😂😂

Lennart Green original trick ☝👌

it doesnt work for me i follow each step exactly but its always off theres always more face up cards lots of uneven reds and yeah what are the importants you cant. mess up

This is just brilliant, thanks for the reveal. But I'm wokdering5, how are you able to reveal this without the inventor getting super mad at you?

Is this the Gilberth principal? What is the source of the trick?

use vine boom instead of that explosion it'll be funnier

Lennart green

There was someone with the last name McGurk on Fox News. He appeared along with Greg Gutfeld on O'Reilly's show. Are you related to him?

Since when is a 5 even?

It’s good but it’s hardly the best card trick in the world. I mean, I do a signed card to wallet with the card being under my driver’s license sleeve, in a buttoned pocket, with an examinable wallet. That trick kills and has beat both Penn and Teller and Uri Geller.

The commercial in the intro is just way too much over the top. Typical american style... 🤢🤮🤮🤮

But,i don't understand, why does it work? how does it function.... please answer!!
