The person who made this video did NOT invent the trick. And Shawn does not sell it. And this video is only a guess at how it was done.

Nice explanation, but you don't want to bend the bottom flap behind the 8 of diamonds (as you say in your video) because that will cause you to slide the forced 7 of diamonds to go between the 8 and 9 instead of the 6 and 8. You want to fold the flap in front of the 8 (so it's below the 8 and above the 6.) You should have up jogged the 6 of diamonds (instead of the 8) and folded the flap behind the 6. Thanks for the detailed video!

Excellant tutorial. Very impressive. I have used this idea for years now, BUT, without the gimmick or deck switch. These two subtleies make all the difference. Unfortunately for me, i had never thought of this. My performance was simply to have the force card already in the prepped deck and have this deck in plain sight all the time (card was not signed). Palm out the forced card, hand out the deck to show card is gone, then have spectator open sealed deck to find their card inside. Much more convincing with this method. Thank you so much for sharing.

You gotta have a lot of balls to do a deck switch in front of Pen and Teller and they would be looking for that when you reach in for the Pen. But it is amazing how people focus on what they’re supposed to focus on or not what they could have focussed on, which would’ve been him pulling that deck of cards out of his pocket

@Yupppi Ай бұрын

I feel like I'm too stupid when I couldn't follow what the spectator was supposed to think in the original trick. I do understand that you pull back and forth deck switches, but somehow the missing advertising cards that are with another pack that is not in play are supposed to prove that the pack you pulled that isn't perfect was in fact untouched. Somehow the deck switches shown just make me more confused about what you were supposed to believe.

@SFO_Dragonman 10 күн бұрын

For a regular audience you would only do one deck switch. You switch the real brand new box of cards with the gimmicked box, allowing you to slide their signed card in and seal it up. The trick would end when you reveal that their signed card is miraculously inside a “sealed” box of cards. The audience would never know that you used the gimmicked box with the flap. Penn and Teller though, are not a normal audience. They are likely to want to inspect your cards/props after the trick. The second switch was to get rid of the gimmick box, so he could hand over the perfectly normal box to Penn for him to take back to his chair and examine. He used the advertising cards being in his pocket as an excuse to go back into his pocket and disguise that second switch. Penn and teller saw him do the first switch from real box to gimmick box, they didn’t catch the second one where he switched them back. As a result, they had no idea about the gimmicked box and had no chance to inspect it because he’d taken it out of play right under their noses. So they knew he’d switched decks during the trick, but because of the second switch, they could not figure out how that would allow him to put a signed card into a sealed box.

@CaptainVideo1960 2 ай бұрын

There is a flaw in your explanation. Personally I feel like there has to be a force and I do something similar. However unless they cut out the part where Shawn looked at the deck to located the 7 of diamonds, it seems as though he takes the deck back and has penn immediately touch a card. However I think Penn would have noticed him catching a glimpse and certainly would know he was classic forced. If he knows it was a force, then he and Teller should have come up with some idea how he got it in the deck
