"Torn up Black Lotus. Watch grown men cry..." Omg, Brian had me rolling right there. 🤣🤣 Also, I don't think it gets said enough how awesome it has been to have Josie joining in. As a dad to a little girl, I can only hope and pray to raise a daughter as awesome as Josie and keep as great a relationship with her too.
At first it was a gimmick, then it was really endearing, now a couple years in Josie is well on her way to "circus freak" You can actually watch the change as Brian taught her to hammered a nail into her head. That was the moment.
@@Kinglink you might be right. Her expression of absolute disgust paired with an amazed sense of "holy cow, I'm actually doing it!" was incredible to watch.
I love these videos bc when most other sites give away the magic it seems to be mean spirited...I love how all of these videos give away the answer, but do it in a way that seems to preserve the fun and spirit of the endeavor. Thanks!
Joe Diamond should use Josie's line on his website. 'He's so good I don't want him at my halloween party.' I kind of got the first card but was fooled with the second one, this makes me feel happy because I know that I've learned enough to understand sleight a bit better.
I was pretty sure how it was done then I basically had it confirmed when he was removing them from the deck with their other piece. I use to do magic tricks but I've never done this version before.
The matching torn cards is a really nice presentation. I recognized the principle from the previous episode, but during that previous episode I was a bit stumped (and I also performed that previous trick to some friends, and they had no idea how).
This is really brilliant! I've performed Gemini Twins for years and the idea of using torn cards is fantastic! Plus your idea of using it as an in-betweener before introducing a cold deck is very smart.
This right here is a great example of why I love scam school/nation. Take a classic trick, twist it into something interesting, that makes me actually wanna do a trick I learned over 20 yrs ago. Thanks!
I absolutely love Gemini Twins. It is one of my favorite card tricks. I was super excited to see this trick because I had bought the Karl Fulves book this was in shortly before the pandemic. The application that Joe Diamond did in this episode and the other storylines that he mentioned just go to show how amazing, versatile, and powerful this trick really is.
This trick is awesome! I just want to share:. For those who don't want to use torn cards, this totally works with a normal deck and using the "matching" cards. (7D and 7H, for example). Presentation isn't the same obviously, but is still solid!
This is an AWESOME trick. On a FANTASTIC show. Thank you folks for making this happen. Can we use the same 2 cards to reveal a match everytime in the pack of torn cards? I guess that makes sence, but are there other matching cards in the pile of torn cards, or do we want to show that every half card is different, except for the cards we made the spectator match? Are all the torn cards matches to each other,? It would be more mystifying to use different halves, but maybe not. Lol. What do you think? I guess it really doesnt matter either way. Lol. I know with the paranormal scene with using pics of deceased people, you could use all different halves, except for the person that you are doing the trick to, you would use THEIR family nember, and of course another picture is needed for someone else . Thanks. Peace and love, Glen
Just had this guy at our outdoor theater man is insane. I got to talk with him for a bit and he showed me some tricks and took a pic with him. he is honestly really nice and funny.
Omg, this is such a simple but effective trick. I initially didn't think it was impressive because he looked at the face of the cards, but one the trick ended I was amazed o couldn't figure it out even rewatching in slow motion
A wonderful effect and fooler. I first saw this by Jules Lerner in early 80's at the Magic Castle Bar downstairs. He was nice enough to teach it to me.
I had a feeling this used something we'd seen before very nicely done. I also want to thank you for all your videos here and on Modern Rogue, I recently finished a TTRPG where I gave my players a Spectrogram puzzle, had Diamond Jim as an NPC teach Bears Fishing, which set up for Priory of Rose later on. I may have to use Joe Diamond as a Sorcerer/necromancer in the future.
8:20 It doesn't matter if you pull out the wrong cards, as long as you're consistent (so that they're both wrong), you can just play it off as part of the performance like "of course, since we're in Australia, you should look at the OTHER side of the cards" or "of course, I learned this trick in Australia, so here in the northern hemisphere, we'd have to pull out the OTHER cards, or any excuse to rationalize getting the wrong side". 😉
When Joe said par-annoying and you talked about blackjack immediately afterwards, I revisited the fond memory of being 21 and splitting tens while dudes playing black chips glared at me 😂. We were at circus circus, that's what they get! (An old circus circus side bet. bring a black light to your room and count how many square feet you can find without blood or spunk)
Before I get to the reveal, this one strikes me as pretty easy. Joe already knows which card is on the top of the deck and the bottom, so he just picked those cards' partners out of the deck. Josie's actions put the bottom card above her card, and Brian's actions put the top card above his card. Done and done.
Great trick. First…I’m new to card tricks so I may ask crazy questions. Start with Full deck, minus 2’s and 4’s ? You gave Dave an 8, yet it appears your using Faces through Aces yet I saw a 7 and Daves8. Did you purposefully give them the cards you did? Why must you Lie about how originally the cards were mixed and shuffled Face Up?
Unfortunately it was a little too obvious. I think maybe remove the line ”and put the rest of top”. Not sure how to fix it but maybe just grab the rest of the cards from the hand of the spectator and put them casually on top. Without drawing too much attention to it. Edit: Might only be a problem if you know basic/intermediate/advanced magic theory. But everytime someone says: ”put the rest on top”, it screams out the method. Maybe it’s just because, for a spectator, there is very rarely a practical reason to place the rest on top. But it’s very practical for the magician.
He said because I’m annoying I’m gonna put the torn ends all together. What he meant was since y’all were annoying and decided to mix the direction of all the cards up he would put them back in line hahaha 😝
lo diré en español antes de verlo a ver si le atino, después de mezclarlas y cuando las veía a cada uno le repartió la mitad de la carta que quedaron en los extremos tras badajearla, y con un poco de labia desvió el porque de esas cartas dándole un significado en el momento, como el decir que sean rojas por el color del pelo de Jossie. lo que me interesaría saber es que pasaría si la misma carta resultara en ambos extremos a ver si explican esa posibilidad. proseguiré a terminar de ver el video a ver con que me sorprendo. ^^
Wait, playing cards are the devils playthings, idle hands are the devils playthings, cant keep your hands still and cant move them too elegantly, then what are you supposed to do! Use a fidget spinner? lol

I’m thinking about it! 😂 🎃

The fact that you can so easily put this into a set and set up a deck switch with it is so beautiful
Right? It’s so usable
The matching torn cards is a really nice presentation.
I recognized the principle from the previous episode, but during that previous episode I was a bit stumped (and I also performed that previous trick to some friends, and they had no idea how).
Thank you. I’ve gotten so much use out of this. It’s amazing how presentation can change the effect without changing the method

Really slick presentation but fantastic design. The torn cards though really add to the experience. .
Thank you
I remember learning this when I was younger, such an amazing effect!
Right? So good! The torn cards really puts this together in a cool way
@@JoeDiamondLive always enjoy your work! Need to drive up for a show soon!
Old photos are such a great idea, or even postcards of "haunted" sites.
Oh, postcards are a GREAT idea
A wonderful effect and fooler. I first saw this by Jules Lerner in early 80's at the Magic Castle Bar downstairs. He was nice enough to teach it to me.
Epic 🤩
Tried this using big chunky puzzle pieces. Absolutely blew my 3 year old's mind
I literally just bought a lot of old photos on eBay because I liked that idea so much
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
great effect Joe It's going into my close up set straight away in fact im already doing it
Very nice, clean site and plenty of scope to use 👌

Absolute props for the MtG reference!
So it's basically the "rainbow Deck" but with old torn cards....I like it👍👍
I like it too 😊
Great trick! This is one of the first tricks I was able to figure out. Cool to see the years of watching this channel pay off.
I love how the most amazing tricks are often the simplest ones to do lol
Exactly! Thank you!
The most magical thing about this video was... NO ad!
This isn’t a new trick. you guys showed something very similar before. But the presentation is awesome! I like the idea of using torn photos.
That’s what it’s all about. Taking old tricks and principles and giving them a fresh presentation
When Joe Diamond is on i know itll always be a great magic trick.
agreed!!
Thank you! 😊
The best magic trio!!
Thank you 😊
You got Diamond Jim Tyler'd as if you were Rex himself! I hope you shared this with him to see you get absolutely owned so he's not alone.
Fantastic effect 😊👍😊
Thank you
Nice. I'll give this a shot. I do this trick with Aces and an entire deck of blank cards.
OHHH DAMN! That was awesome
Thank you!
I loved this alwaysssssss ❤️but I didn't expect he will teach this😱
How are yA? YEP they always teach the tricks on scam school/ scam nation.

Fun fact: Modern playing cards are based on tarot cards and some super religious people that know this call all playing cards evil.
There are some great effects with the same torn cards: Match Them For Us Now as well as ...darn I forgot the name of the other one.
Awesome cast here!
Thanks!
Thank you! I love it

No shit.... We got a genius here folks... He explained the method after the video explains the method...
Lol, it cracks me up every time when you repeat, exactly what they just said, I guess to point out that this is your channel. We don’t need that. 🤣
Other then removing 2's and 4's, how many cards should you use for the trick?
He said 10-12 cards in half gives you 20-24 pieces.
That's a good one!
Thank you!
This trick kills 🔥
but what if the top and bottom card match? and this would look great with Bicycle 1900 cards from Ellusionist
No worries. Just take the top as your first card, and then you’re good to go
This reminds me of lennart green's 'stolen cards'
Love lennert.
I now use this to make 1 find the other's card when showing off to 2 at once
Great trick. First…I’m new to card tricks so I may ask crazy questions. Start with Full deck, minus 2’s and 4’s ?

When they started dealing cards, I instantly knew what was going on

I also use toen cards in the effect "will the cards match"
Brilliant
Thank you
As soon as he looked at the cards After the shuffle I got it
Damn this really is easy, I'll be doing it with borrowed decks and just pair cards up like the 2 red kings or something like that though.
He said because I’m annoying I’m gonna put the torn ends all together. What he meant was since y’all were annoying and decided to mix the direction of all the cards up he would put them back in line hahaha 😝
Wait, Joe was Miss Wisconsin? I mean I'm not that surprised but sheesh
Miss Wisconsin? Wait where we at?
I already know this trick
I'm using tarot cards for this lol. I had an extra deck anyway
Epic! Let me know how it goes!
@@JoeDiamondLive it went "well" but I think I scared them. But isn't that the idea?
One catch to be ready for is if the top and bottom cards match. Then you can only match one card, i guess.
No worries. Just take the top as your first card, and then you’re good to go
Craig Pettie should do a TALK MAGIC interview with Brian Brushwood on MAGIC TV
oh, man! I worked with Craig almost 3 decades ago!! I've really enjoyed his work on youtube.
I don't know if it's ever been said- did Josie volunteer to be the magic student, or was she conscripted?

Am I using all 52 cards or 26 cards?
He said he was only using 10-12 cards, so 20-24 halves
