I love that level 3 is controlling the entire deck. Has me thinking by level 7 he's going to be in my house showing me how to perform surgery with the cards. Amazing videos as always
Just want to say that you inspired me about half a year ago to get into magic and I have been studiously practicing and honing my skills ever since. Despite this you still manage to baffle and impress me both with your tricks and your presentation. Thank you Daniel.
@NaterTheTat3r Just want to say that I'm inspired by your inspiration that you received from the very inspiring Daniel Roy... I now identify as a can of tuna. Thank you.
Never thought it could be possibile to have such control over cards, I can only imagine how much time and effort it would take to reach such a skill. Chapeau!
For what it’s worth, I stumbled across that video by pure accident and thought “okay yeah that looks interesting enough.” Then I decided to try to learn some basic card handling and now I have a small bag of tricks to entertain my kids and my coworkers. All that to say, thank you for getting TH-cam algorithmed to me.
I've watched your videos so many times, I should be a master by now. But, I'm still a sleight-of-hand chump. You're skills are so amazing, even when I know what you're doing (I think), I'm still amazed every time. So smooth - so perfect. Wow.
Glad you shared this. Even though your talent is next level, makes you think before playing cards for money. To any non-believers, it’s real. No camera tricks, just premium magic tricks. Count yourself lucky to have seen this. Thanks for sharing!
What I love about your style is that you don't rush what you're doing and it flows so naturally. I see way too many sleight of hand artists blitz out their moves as fast as possible which just makes it hard to follow, especially for someone that doesn't know what's going on.
People posting comments like it's fake. I think that's just because they don't understand that this is actually possible. I see and understand all of the "tricks" you do in this video. Which is not the point of the video, it's not about the magic part. It's about the sleight of hand part which you do clearly describe. What's amazing is how well executed this is, it looks so natural and with confidence. It's like seeing somebody really good with an instrumental. You understand what's happening. But most people would not be able to do it. I'll just sit back and appreciate the work. I appreciate you describing what you do as you do it. Center deals or second bottom deals would not be that impressive if we did not know you did it. I remember this video from 2 years ago, I thought in the start this is the same video, but the title don't match. it says way too new of a date and 2.0. It all become clear when you told it in the end :) !
Great video as always Daniel. Glad your still pumping those sub numbers. Crazy your first version of this has 3.5m views. And your shorts are killing it. One with 10M and another with 7.3M. As I said previously (in my first comment on your channel I believe), you've got a great presence and handle yourself great in front of the camera. I believe that you're only getting better and better at it as well over the years. Always great to see new videos from you and I hope your live shows are a blast for you to perform, as I'm sure it is a completely different thrill from just making TH-cam videos.
Started watching magic vids in 2020. Stumbled across your channel a few months ago. You inspired me to pickup Card College Vol 1 (also picked up J.B. Bobo's "Modern Coin Magic"). I'm not going to attempt to be a great magician, I just want to learn something interesting and have fun! Keep up the good work!
I will never not enjoy the non-top shuffles. I start laughing every time, because I can't see what's happening in realtime. It's magical, and it's *hilarious*.
@@lilyofluck371 I think the point is that his control of the deck does not require misdirection. Misdirection is only relevant if the trick requires it, but he doesn't need to misdirect you because his control is flawless. It's not really a debate about misdirection but the validity of misdirection versus control.
You're awesome, man. I've always been impressed by sleight of hand, and your original 10 Levels video absolutely blew my mind. It's wild people ever doubted you. Wouldn't be a very good trick if it were video editing, but I guess it's healthy to maintain a level of skepticism about what one sees online!
Daniel - I’m curious about what teaching older people to do card tricks would do to help with the decline of mental acuity and motor skills. As you are a scientist, it might be worth a look. If that doesn’t interest you, just keep doing these awesome videos. Please!
Thank you, Daniel! Very, very enjoyable and entertaining. Your videos always leave me with a big smile. And they are enjoyable to watch more than once, too. I've been a fan of close-up magic for a long time. Many years ago I had a chance to see Ricky Jay perform close-up and I've never forgotten it. I've been a fan of sleight-of-hand ever since. Wish we lived on the east coast; we'd love to come to one of your shows. May you have a stellar life-long career in magic that makes you very happy.

When you shuffle at the start with the cards sideways it’s not like a riffle shuffle with the bridge and idk how you do it? Can you do a tutorial please? I really wanna learn how! I’m new to magic
to fully assuage all those doubters talking about camera tricks, you could get a few continuously moving elements running in frame of your shot, like an analog clock face, lava lamp, or even a buncha hamsters in a glass tank. heck, get a disco ball and some moving coloured lights that hit all the other moving elements, generating unpredictable combinations, allowing some of the randomised backlight to illuminate your hands and even the cards too. level 11: subvert all these expectations and incorporate actual camera tricks into the sleight of hand while emphasising all of the anti-camera-trick implements.
This is great, nice to shut the whiners down. This makes a nice Birthday present, been enjoying your content for over a year now, it's really fantastic.
Daniel, can you perform a perfect one handed faro shuffle? Not on the table of course. If not, I believe you have a new challenge;) Either way, consider this comment a present in a form of an idea for a new video:)
My question is what state is the deck in when he starts these amazing shuffles, like for instance if I handed him a shuffled deck where he had no idea which card was where, he obviously couldn’t do this then . How does he arrange or prepare the deck to begin this “magic”
Yk what also blows my mind? How do you do that spread? Usually I've seen people do it with the index finger but you do it with pressure somewhat? Tips?
You can’t do like this!!! After your first version, it took me 15 months to find source and learn everything to do that routine. Now that “level 8” will give me a hard time again.
Well done 👍 You have absolutely no tells in your false deals. Perfect rhythm. But can you deal 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths? 🧐 I bet you can. IMO, fluidly going from a 5th, to a 4th, to a 3rd, to a 2nd deal (each # ending up in whatever hand we want) is harder than even a genuine center (which I still don’t do as fluidly as you…I just do pseudo centers and Greek or bottom deal them).
@@DanielRoyMagic It’s an awesome technique! Bc it allows for you to have a simple 4 of a kind stack on top, deal to however many players your spectator(s) name, then you can cleanly deal yourself the aces from the top of the deck! I’m still working on mastery (do we ever achieve TOTAL mastery?), but the tried and true” larger motion covering the smaller motion” applies here and is a huge asset with this technique! I just see your skills with a deck of cards and figured you would either know it and have put the work in, or with your 2nd deal as good as it is, it won’t be too hard for you to get to 5ths, 4ths, 3rds, and 2nds fluidly! Have fun and keep up the great work! It’s nice to see a REAL lover of card magic perform 💯
wow. amazingly smooth with your hands. how many years does it take to get to this level of slickness? i played cards last nite with my buddies. we been playing for over 20 years together. i could of used some of your skills. they took me to the cleaners. 🤣🤣🤣
I love that level 3 is controlling the entire deck. Has me thinking by level 7 he's going to be in my house showing me how to perform surgery with the cards. Amazing videos as always
had the same thought lmao
Sterilise. Always sterilise.
lmao yeah.
Just want to say that you inspired me about half a year ago to get into magic and I have been studiously practicing and honing my skills ever since. Despite this you still manage to baffle and impress me both with your tricks and your presentation. Thank you Daniel.
@NaterTheTat3r Just want to say that I'm inspired by your inspiration that you received from the very inspiring Daniel Roy... I now identify as a can of tuna. Thank you.
Level 11: Stacking cans of tuna
Where did you start learning card tricks?
I just cannot get over the second deal. It's so unbelievably clean that it just looks like you grab a card out of thin air
:)
For me it just looks like he glitches his hand through the first card and then pulls the other out
Legit, I slowed it down and zoomed in and I still couldn't see him grab the second card.
That center deal is legit just magic, amazing dedication to your craft sir
thank you!
Both versions of the 10 levels of Sleight of Hand are extremely impressive. I really like all of the methods that were used in both videos.

Been watching you for over a year. Incredible talent and inspiration! Jaw dropping stuff. Thanks and keep it coming
I think your verbal skills are almost as impressive as your card skills - just as precise.
What I love about your style is that you don't rush what you're doing and it flows so naturally. I see way too many sleight of hand artists blitz out their moves as fast as possible which just makes it hard to follow, especially for someone that doesn't know what's going on.
I'm blown away by your card skills. Keep posting.
Thank you! Will do!
Watched the original 2 years ago and I'm happy to watch this one today. Wish you the best !
Truly outstanding again! I really love those moves! I’m going to try and learn one of them. Wish me luck on the next 70 years of my life.

it's not possible! :)
Nice to see a fellow Yugioh player

glad the videos inspired you!
@@DanielRoyMagic your videos have also inspired me… to never try magic because I can just watch the Master Daniel Roy for free
I will never not enjoy the non-top shuffles. I start laughing every time, because I can't see what's happening in realtime. It's magical, and it's *hilarious*.
Glad to see the return to form! I much prefer these routines over the simple yt shorts.
His misdirections is literally so good, then when he looks up at the camera, I look at his gaze instead of his hands lmao and I know he GOT ME
Is there even any misdirection? The closest thing to it is the false dealing, but the rest (and even the false dealing) is just sheer control.
There's no misdirection, it's purely skill. You clearly don't understand anything at all.
@@XixyLeasor Misdirecting someone by gaze is misdirection. Even if it isn't purposeful, this comment proves there _is_ misdirection in this video.

Beautiful!!!!! You are truly a master at sleight of hand! Always a mazing the watch.
Beautiful!!!!! You are truly a master at sleight of hand!
Could watch these all day such an elegant way of cuts & controls only thing is missing is a glass of whiskey on the side and you wearing a suit ♥️

@@DanielRoyMagic It looks so easy to me, when you play the cards. Well done.
Your videos always give me some sort of stress headache by the end but I can't get enough. I want to learn!
mission accomplished haha
Im a magician and I know nearly all these techniques but nevertheless you still melt my brain
You don't even need to call this magic because it is so genuinely impressive how well controlled the cards are.
So Incredible, I love your tricks
Smooth Daniel. Smooth.
Amazing ! Always watching your videos like a child , with a kind of dumb smile !
Bravo à toi Daniel
Lot of practice. Keep make us dream.

That's a pretty cool update! Let's go, Dan!
This requires an enormous amount of practice 👏👏👏👏👏
Your first version was the video that introduced me to your channel, super cool to see you making a revamp!
Absolutely love this series, been waiting for another 10 levels video for a long time. Thanks and keep up the good magic!
God bless everyone and have a good day,
This is one of my favorite effects to perform. Well done on your handling 👏
Bravo bravo! Your confident and smooth delivery reminds me of a wise old wizard haha
Thanks you very much for entertainment. Greetings from croatia 😎
your center deal is flawless.
thanks :)
Agreed 110%
I always love the presentation of your videos!
Very nice! Congrats on the anniversary.
Thank you very much!
Oh wow, just yesterday I searched up your v1.0 tutorial on a whim XD
What a coincidence you'd released an updated version today!
perfect timing :)
When you shuffle at the start with the cards sideways it’s not like a riffle shuffle with the bridge and idk how you do it? Can you do a tutorial please? I really wanna learn how! I’m new to magic
Brilliant work man- absolutely amazing
Just amazing. Love this video so much. Thank you Daniel.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats on the success. Very well deserved.
Much appreciated!
This is truely amazing! It looks like real magic!
I loved both videos, watched them back to back.
Seriously, I need to learn at least one of these skills, but not to show off lol.
Keep It up Daniel!

Absolute adore this.
Accidentally came to this video and i love it
Could you maybe show how the trick is done?. I'd really like to learn it.
Wow, thank you for showing this.👍
I would love to know how you do stuff like this and how I would practice something like this
Mesmerizing!
Doc Holliday would be proud! Your my huckleberry!
Thank you for this.
When level 2 already seems insane it's intimidating to say the least

This is amaaaaazing.
Are you planning to live stream again ? I‘d love to be in your stream again
You can’t do like this!!! After your first version, it took me 15 months to find source and learn everything to do that routine. Now that “level 8” will give me a hard time again.

Everyone: Didn't you do this video already?
Daniel: It's rewind time
pretty much haha
I know already that this is gonna be a great video❤️🔥
Beautiful video! Well performed but also interesting and with good flow :)
Love your channel! Been learning a lot!
Glad to hear it!
So this is why you have to rotate dealer when playing with strangers. Haha. Amazing sleight of hand sir. :)
Do you think you will stream “Card Shark” again? Also, congrats on 200k subs!!
Possibly!
Nice work!
So are you keeping track of all the cards from the last time you saw the entire deck?
Big Ricky Jay vibes during your explanations, great work
Wow, thanks!
What a crazy skill sleight of hand
Awesome stuff
"Do what must be done, Lord Roy. Do not hestiate. Show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with Dark Side to save your Playing Cards"
I noticed you switched from bicycles to tally ho’s(my preferred deck). Was there any particular reason for it?
Woah. Awesome video.
Amazing skill
Legend has it my dad never came home with the milk because he was actually in Daniel Roy’s poker hand.
You got skills!
wow. amazingly smooth with your hands. how many years does it take to get to this level of slickness? i played cards last nite with my buddies. we been playing for over 20 years together. i could of used some of your skills. they took me to the cleaners. 🤣🤣🤣
took me about 20,000 hours lol
Wow...I came here from Ireman5 ..Your card control is insane..
