Here’s how the trick is done. If you watch very carefully as he collects the deck, right after placing all 5 cards into it, you will notice that he is a level 10 wizard. This trait allows him to perform magical acts that we can’t begin to fathom
@@xqr_ the deck is in complete order already all the shuffles and cuts are false for example up the ladder and the push through shuffle and also the gamblers combit
This guy was in some movies I remember. Boogie Nights. I recognized his face. Didn’t know he was so good at card magic. Checked his IMDB page and it said he died last year. RIP Ricky Jay
This trick is great, because it is fundamentally really simple: all he does is not mixing the cards. They are presented in exactly the order they were in the deck. The brilliance lies in tricking the audience that he thoroughly mixes the cards. He never does.
Actually, while Rick is a great master, a lot of the switches and fake tosses are visible even on this old blurry video. Whole routine is brilliant though...
If anyone is wondering how he did it, he switches the decks at 1:55 when it goes out of camera shot. Then he just pretends to shuffle the cards to throw you off. Still very impressive though
I feel like this is just perfect execution of a perfect technique. If you riffle shuffle a deck twice (flawlessly, and alternate which half has the card at the bottom of the shuffle) you get the deck back in perfect order. Note, his first two shuffles alternated. So essentially, those first two shuffles didn't matter. The next 4 riffle shuffles were all on the same side. So two cards are moved rotated out of order from the top to the bottom. So basically what I'm saying, unless he is palming something, I think he has worked out the math, and making perfect execution. Which is wildly impressive.
You’re right that it’s a perfect execution of a perfect technique, but two perfect riffle shuffles will only get you a quarter of the way - to restore the original deck order you need to perform eight perfect riffle shuffles (with some fake cuts and fake shuffles thrown in as well). This performance is amazing.
It's great to hear no BS, no obnoxious, loud techno garbage. No, "HERE'S YER BOI RICKY JAY BACK ATCHA WITH ANOTHER VIDEO! REMEMBER TO SMASH LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!"
Pretty sure it's prosthetics on the forearms. They look misshapen to begin with, and then you can see the skin jut out abnormally very late in the video. He's really good, but at least I now know where he keeps his doubles!
Usually I can at least come up with a reasonable theory of how a card performance might work but in this case I can't wrap my head around a single part of it.

There is something about the old sound of the camera and quality that just make the asmr even better
Lo-Fi. Sounds 10x better.
White noise
The pop and crackle is just heavenly
Tru dat
Dats tru mai frend
Love the “I’m the man” look he gives at the end.
Thug Life
He's the man behind the slaughter

@@raezor82 Would go well with the 'Damn it feels good to be a gangster' song 😂
Feels like that’s the look he gives the whole time 😂
Steve martin has been 60 since he was 20
Wtf?
Lol I was wondering the same thing. Since I was a kid he always had that white hair
That is so horrible but so true XD
I was thinking the same thing lol. He's one of those guys like "colin mochrie" who seem to stay the same age for your entire life.
I love that he doesn't have to talk. No bullshit, just talent.
Sometimes bullshit is part of the talent, it's called showmanship.
Seems like a stupid video to me. “Magic” is fucking lame bro.
@@Viktor20689 so is quebec
@@mildgrooveon GOT EM
If you watch of any other video of him you’d learn talking was a great talent of his

Ded.
Lol I actually know how he does it maybe because I my self am a magician but yea he’s still very good and deceptive with everything he does
@@kylogq tell me more
@@xqr_ the deck is in complete order already all the shuffles and cuts are false for example up the ladder and the push through shuffle and also the gamblers combit
Wrong, he is a warlock and he has casted an illusion spell on you. You are bewitched
the way he slams half the deck on top of the other commands respect.
It's actually a way to distract and hide the fake cut he is making.
But it has the added power you mentioned
This guy was in some movies I remember. Boogie Nights. I recognized his face. Didn’t know he was so good at card magic. Checked his IMDB page and it said he died last year. RIP Ricky Jay
Yep. RIP. Ricky Jay wasn't just good. He was a master sleight of hand artist.
Also in an episode of the x files. Cool guy
Magnolia...
I loved him in the movie heist with gene hackman great movie
Jim Owen
Mamet used him a lot. So did PTA. RIP Kurt Longjohn
I think the trick is that there is no trick. He's just that good.
I have seen this video dozens and dozens of times.
And I have finally realized...I don't care how he did it.
It's just such a work of art to behold.
☮
There's illusions, there's sleight of hand, and then there's magic. This guy does magic.
it are just a ton of fake shuffles. sleight of hand. decksplits he puts back. riffles he pulls throug.
Frankie O'Hara ...or candy
Frankie O'Hara whores are necessary. Plus most are nice.
Blaise N'kufo ok lets see you do it. I’ll send you $100.
@@richy1993 Thanks for getting the reference lol
There is nothing unintentional about this. This man knew exactly what he was doing. Some of the best asmr you’ll ever find
Hand down the greatest card trick I’ve ever seen.
Same
This trick is great, because it is fundamentally really simple: all he does is not mixing the cards. They are presented in exactly the order they were in the deck. The brilliance lies in tricking the audience that he thoroughly mixes the cards. He never does.
I think that's it. He's shown how fake shuffles are done and I thought I recognized it here. The guy is brilliant.
Why is there a hummingbird flying around the camera? I can clearly hear it's wings.
itslegiTim ha ha same!!!!
@@julieleverton2775 i think it's the microphone picking up the film real spinning
Tracking issues with tape
VHS ftw man
😂🤣😂 kids it's the vhs tape
even beyond the trick itself whats super fascinating is how he appears to give these cards more weight than they have with his hand movements
It goes from “oh that’s pretty cool” to “wait what the” in seconds and it’s brilliant
Ricky jay was the best card mechanic to ever walk the earth
This man is looking at me like he already finished the trick so I assumed my brain was just catching up the whole time
2:43 Watch his left hand
Actually, while Rick is a great master, a lot of the switches and fake tosses are visible even on this old blurry video. Whole routine is brilliant though...
He has to split the deck with one hand. What am I looking at?
Eggchin X Just trying to show you how the trick was done my man... thanks for being gracious
Jack Hubbard It just shows how that trick was done
Yep. It’s quite a well known trick now, but at the time this was mind boggling. Ricky was special.
Tingles af until my mind was blown by the flip trick
4:15 *cue Bad to the Bone
This man is the embodiment of the saying "dont clap....just throw money"
Dafuqqqqqqqqq im scaaaared how much time and dedication goes into learning that amout of controll
Even Mothman takes a minute to admire Ricky Jay's artistry.
What a treat it would have been to see him at a live performance
I remember Ricky's card dealing character in Deadwood.
this was the first video to ever give me asmr, I remember watching this so long ago. Ever since then card tricks were a trigger
This guy is so cool when he goes to bed sheep count him!
But can he do the thing?
The plan was as cute as pailful of kittens
Ben and Teller would have ran out the room in panic! This was the best performance I've ever seen!!
Yeah, I cried. I quite honestly think this is the best trick ever put to film
Bro, what the hell did I just witness? That was incredible! Probably the best card magic I have ever seen.
If anyone is wondering how he did it, he switches the decks at 1:55 when it goes out of camera shot. Then he just pretends to shuffle the cards to throw you off. Still very impressive though
This is incorrect.
RIP RICKY JAY! ONE OF A KIND
“Mr. Gupta...are the cards ready?”
I loved listening to him and his tricks many years earlier even when I was unaware of the asmr phenomenon. RIP.
I feel like this is just perfect execution of a perfect technique.

So basically what I'm saying, unless he is palming something, I think he has worked out the math, and making perfect execution. Which is wildly impressive.
However there were cuts. So this is unlikely (1:55 he swaps hands, 3:40 deck on the left gets bigger).
You’re right that it’s a perfect execution of a perfect technique, but two perfect riffle shuffles will only get you a quarter of the way - to restore the original deck order you need to perform eight perfect riffle shuffles (with some fake cuts and fake shuffles thrown in as well). This performance is amazing.
After watching this and seeing how laid back he is, I have even more respect for Dirk Diggler’s piece
Playing cards are extremely relaxing to me. A personal "ASMR". I used to always have a deck of cards one me.
Would shuffle em around and what not.
Nah my brain is so smooth after watching this im absolutely psychologically devastated
Whoa......”Who’s your Daddy now?” (Describing the look at the end.) 👌🏻
I’ve looked at this for 5 hours now.
Ungodly... That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen
At the end he's like "Yup, that's right, I'm good and I know it"
Omg the best unintentional ASMR!
The Knife sequence is the best part
He makes it look so effortless
It's great to hear no BS, no obnoxious, loud techno garbage. No, "HERE'S YER BOI RICKY JAY BACK ATCHA WITH ANOTHER VIDEO! REMEMBER TO SMASH LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!"
That is the most amazing trick I have ever seen
He was even better in Boogie Nights..
Came here for asmr and in the first few seconds was just STEVE MARTIN WHAT
I love the bird in the backround
Yooo guys look at 3:41 at his left deck,for some reasons the deck got a little bit bigger by itself 😅😅😅
Wtf so it's not majic but camera affects
@Corvus Morve I feel like one of the cards just got bent a little sicne they're fresh from pack and it jsut popped back into its proper position.
@@keatonkuuuun well you might be right
I can only see it happening on his right deck
@Corvus Morve It's not even so hard to do as magic routine. But the handling here is unmatchable.
He spared us the techno babble...(chortle)
THE FEEDBACK FROM THE CAMERA MADE MY EYES ROLL BACK!! FUCKK!!
The photography of the film was excellent here.
Never heard of this guy but I'm sure he was in an episode of the X files called "The Amazing Maleeni".
They say it takes 10,000 hours of a skill to become a master at it. Ricky was no master, he was a God
I came here for asmr but ended up getting my mind blown
Hey, that's Eddie Sawyer! (Deadwood character Ricky Jay plays) Working on his skills for when he robs Cy for Joanie.
Deadwood was so good
Rip Ricky Jay.
Best cameraman in Boogie Nights hands down
0:12 "OK JIM!" ~ Harold Lederman
Now that is a great card mechanic
asmr aside... what kind of ridiculous magic have i just witnessed?!
The Playback error that's clapping in the background actually sounds great lol.
1:47 how
Wish I could’ve seen ya in real life Ricky. It would’ve been an honor.
it might just be magic, but dang. That’s some good stuff right there.
“I call it Gupta’s law of creative anomalies”
👌🏻
Thsi is the greatest card trick I’ve seen
this is too short
Everybody knows that the man when it comes to cards is Richard turner
that was CRAZY good!
That first move was slick af
Would have been awesome to see him in Penn and Teller.
The cards paid actors
I love how David Mamet of all people is gasing this guy up.
Amazing, almost as good as Terence Hill
Pretty sure it's prosthetics on the forearms. They look misshapen to begin with, and then you can see the skin jut out abnormally very late in the video. He's really good, but at least I now know where he keeps his doubles!
I don’t know what is more confusing: Rickys awesome tricks or whatever the hell Steve Martin is trying to say.
@Corvus Morve That’s a real possibility. And it’s “wasn’t,” not “was’nt.”
I thought it was pretty clear!? What’s confusing about it?
His breathing is asmr enough
RIP Ricky - GOAT
Boogie Nights ❤️
This is the man behind the slaughter
Наверняка, есть какие-то хитрости, как в фокусах, но все-равно это было очень круто! ✨
This is 'nam all over again, I can still hear the choppers.
His "Chad" Lazer are too Bright. At the ending That... is the face of Someone who understand how Pro they are... Ahhhhh
Absolutely spectacular! 👏🏻
This trick was nuts
Beautiful. Perfect.
That was awesome
Yes,i finally found this,YEEEES
They knew what they were door
IT IS ASMR
Steve Martin and Glenn Gould mentioned in the same video is almost unintentional comedy if you've seen the Jiminy Glick video with Steve.
me at the start of the video "man where tf this ricky guy at lmao"
Usually I can at least come up with a reasonable theory of how a card performance might work but in this case I can't wrap my head around a single part of it.
because you miss an info that was edited out of the video ;)
This is amazing
Ever fuck up a "is this your card" trick so bad you go through the whole deck
*Gambito watching this video*
"why do I hear boss music?"
He is a magician
