Almost forgot, this is TWO tricks in ONE! Don't forget to watch the bonus at the end!

I’ve noticed people that try to make me botch a trick never succeed, but they end up seeing an entirely different trick(a save). It’s usually less impressive but still works

Just a thought - after the spectator has removed the 13 cards, have him shuffle them while you look at the bottom of the remaining cards in your hand. NOW you make the prediction - he has already moved the 13 cards, so your prediction card is safe at the bottom of the cards in your hand. Then continue with him choosing 3 of the 13 cards, etc - and spectator can still do the rest of the work. In this situation the spectator can never take the bottom card, and you're good to go.

Whenever you hear the name Lennart Green, you know it's going to be killer.

Fun fact: Lennart Green was disqualified from FISM (the Olympics of magic) because they thought he used to stooges to "shuffle" a deck of cards. They could not believe they actually shuffled the cards. He came back, and this time had the judges shuffle the cards, and won 1st place in card magic! He was so good the judges couldnt believe it was possible!

This is also one of my favorite self working card tricks. Just something to note when performing. Whenever I have spectators shuffle, 99.9% of laypeople have this habit of flashing the bottom card during a riffle shuffle completion (they have an unconscious habit of squaring up a ruffle shuffle on the table with the faces towards you). If they don’t, all you need to do is notice how they shuffle. Even if they have a decent or good riffle shuffle, you will notice the bottom card of both halves. The first one to fall is your prediction. Another way, even if they manage to hide it, cut the cards, or shuffle like a magician for that matter - is to tell them to hand you the deck. At the right angle (which takes real world performance practice), you will glimpse/peak the bottom card every time. On the off chance you run into the latter, as soon as you have the peak, I usually say “Actually, I don’t want to touch the cards. Put them on the table instead.” Imo, prediction style effects are much more magical when you can genuinely say you never touched the deck until your prediction was written down. It adds an extra layer to prediction style effects that laymen and magicians alike will not be able to reverse engineer (bc there are MANY forces like the red herring force as just one example of one of my favorite forces for a magicians that many professional magicians don’t know). Anywho. Sorry for the book lol. I just thought I’d share the way I perform prediction style effects. Bc if we genuinely do not touch the deck, we can always start by saying “I’m going to write a prediction down after you shuffled, and before I touch the deck.” Then at the end of any prediction style effect, you can recap the honest fact that you didn’t touch the deck until AFTER they shuffled, AND after you wrote your prediction. Happy practicing and performing fellow magicians. Lennart Green, Juan Tamariz, and Dani Daortiz are the greatest card magicians of all time in my humble opinion…including Dai Vernon, Larry Jennings, Ed Marlo, Brother John Hamman, and all the other grandfathers of this wonderful art that’s allowed me to make a living doing what I love. 32 years after learning my first ever sleight of hand effect, my passion has only grown. Never stop learning! There are so many books, VHS/DVD/now instant downloads from old and new masters, that no magician can learn even a minutia of what is out there

Haha! Great trick. When you get old like me, you forget what you just learned 2 days ago. But simple things stick. Like this trick. _So, it'll take me a good week to forget this one!_ ;-))... However. The video is saved for later. _And I like the addition of the "if they do take the bottom card", what then?_ 8-))... EDIT Just tried it out on the missus. _She thinks I'm some evil entity as I texted her the answer!_ 8-))...

This is one of my favorite tricks Michael! I use to perform this all the time in high school as this helped me get over my fear of performing in front of people. I use to have them take the top 13 cards to avoid the bottom card being selected, but now I will give them a free choice because of the second out. Thank you for posting this video as I had forgotten this trick and I didn't know about the second out. Keep up the amazing work! #Roadto2K!

Thank you for this card use trick. I generally use a quick slight of hand card tricks when introducing myself to a class as their substitute school teacher. I then tell the class that they will see more if they behave. It is a reward for good conduct and not a bribe. Most of the times it works to keep the class under control. 👍

Fascinating! The bonus effect is excellent, as well - still very strong and has the advantage of much less dealing

Oh I love this one. Self working and sort of self-setupping... And an alternate version too. Love it. Thank you. 👍😊

Hey this is super cool man! Thank you for teaching us this!! I love it!

Always looking forward to See you performing.

What a great trick and so easy. Really grateful,especially for the back up trick, what a saver. Please keep em coming. TOB

Thank you very much! and thanks for the bonus at the end.

Great video and a mind blowing trick..yet so simple...many thanks. A great new 1st trick, epec for a begiiner! :-)

congratulations for this simple and efficient trick , François

Great trick and explanations. I really like self working tricks. Another way to fix the problem of the spectator taking the bottom card is to wait until they take the 13 cards and then after you scoop up the rest you peek and then write the prediction. Just an idea. Great vid. Thanks for posting!

Great trick and even better tutorial!

This is one of the best by far 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Really good trick! I would love to see more shuffled borrowed impromptu tricks please :) Thanks

Wow what an incredible trick!Thank you for tutorial btw

Wow ,this is awesome, it's about math too. Thanks for sharing this video. I'll do this with my kids.

Nice man, 2 tricks in one indeed!

Nice one... boss trick, defo gonna use this one

Great performance and super trick !

I love card tricks like this thanks

Excellent Bro ! Support from Belgium 🤘🇧🇪

Terrific, thanks!

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

Thanks for showing this great card trick…. Love selfworking card tricks …. I Will use the King on the bottom since its a 13 nr card trick..😅

Really... really... good card trick, bravo 👏

Hi Mr. Six, This is indeed a wonderful trick to add to my routine, thanks so much for your hard work and time, you truly are what keeps my passion on fire. Hope to see more as your performances and tutorials are the best so informative.

This one was a very cool one, I like the set up.. self working magic tricks are awesome as well I think. The bonus feature on this one was a real good idea as well Michael. thanks for sharing definitely would like to use this one on others,

Fantastic performance and tutorial, liked the bonus at the end, you sometimes get that one spectator.🤜🔥🤛👏👏👏👍👍😊😊

The best way I know of and use to see the bottom card is to just casually shuffle the deck a couple of times or cut the cards whatever. Then just play with the deck in your hands turning them over casually a time or two as you pretend not to notice the bottom card. No one will suspect a thing; you're just playing with the deck.

You even have a third way to deal with these routine. Let face down one of the 3 cards and let the Spectator choose a random card instead. The rest of the procedure is still the same, but add some of randomness to the effect. Can do the same with 12 cards to choose, and 8 going back under the (last) key card. I met Mr Green in Seville (Spain) in a close up session. I had the pleasure to show him one of his own automatic trick, with a different presentation as his. A wonderfull trick with no set up, and mathematicly imposible to guess for lay man...A real number one.

Great trick. Thanks for sharing.

Lol, that marker cracked me up.

Brilliant!

magnefiques routines rapides er faciles merci bien Monsieur Six

Brilliant.

I HATE counting card tricks but this one baffled me so much I LOVE IT. I have Lennert Greenes stuff i havent watched yet Theres Greene Files and another One is 6 cds one is 4 cds or maybe 6cds too but I have not yet watched any yet bc I have a shitload of card magic cds. TRULY IMPOSSIBLE this cannot be explained ... now for the tutorial....

Thanks!

Pls more self working card trick love the channel

And xavior spade is the best. Love this one six

I just discovered another way to peek to the last card while riffle shuffling just see how it's done u can rotate a little bit more and see it 😁

The marker was so loud that at first I thought it was you doing the sound as a joke :)

The subtitle had a one of spades ♠️ 😂😂

Thank you Michael for this nice tutorial with Xavior’s Dead Hand playing cards ! A little suggestion for this trick, to give an even more random impression, if a court card is choosen (J, Q or K) you can let choose to the spectator the value (1 to 13) he wants like a Joker. 😃

Huge fan

Awesome trick thank you!

Nifty!

Liked the trick alot It was a nice one 😎😋😍😘🤩

Love the out method but I just have them cut the deck and take the next 13 cards. So many ways to do this but a great novice trick.

Hello Six, enjoying your videos....can you share with us the best way to do john Bannon Botton bluff force? TKU Amigo..."Carlini" NYC

Who knew 13 could be such a lucky number?!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I instantly figured out the math behind this one, and I'm not all that great at math.

AAANNND Hes done it again! Tbh i liked the vid before i watched it because at this point we just know its gonna be a workers treasure trove. And of corse this coming from Lennart Green was always gonna be good. Would have liked to see you perform this with tin foil around your head tho Micheal! 😂 if you know, you know.

A neat trick clearly explained. Love a self worker. But hate the annoying lift music - which seems to a trend in many videos these days.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

i do this magic long time ago

What happens if one of the 3 face down cards are 2 or 6?

I subbed, but I wanna see Michael Seven or Magic Seven.

I turned my own deck over and it was the 8 of spades 😲😵

Hey nice trick! but what if the sum of the three cards that have been chosen is so high that I don't have any cards left... I don't know what to do next

What deck of cards are these?

Must the 2 jokers be inside?

I tried the trick and the spectator’s three random cards were the Ace and two queens. 1 + 12 + 12…somehow the trick is off with this sequence. I tried replicating it with a 3 and two queens (12 + 12) and it didn’t work. Are the two queens throwing this off?

You had to add that line to the heart only to make 8 of spade but buddy

What if it a A’s

Wawa laid

😁😁🎈🎈👍👍😀😃

You could decide to make the prediction after the spectator selected 13 cards to avoid taking the bottom card. Why didn’t you explain the math? Its easy.

Just so happens their three choices are all spades….hum…So after they count 13, and lay out three cards….the rest of their cards go on top of remaining deck….Hum?

first

A 5,3 and an Ace is 9, not a 8
