This trick is special to me. In 1978 I was at home with a book on magic I borrowed from the local library. There were lots of tricks in this book with a guide on how to do them. I looked for the hardest one (which was the trick seen here) and I spent an hour or two learning how to do it and I finally cracked it. When I turned all the cards over just as shown here I saw that I had done it as perfect as anyone could do it. I was absolutely on a high with joy and excitement as I knew this trick was so brilliant that it would truly impress anyone that was shown it. The next day I went to my local pub and got a pint. The place was chocka and I waited a little while before I told everyone that they were gonna see a miracle card trick. Everyone gathered round to watch me and I went through my routine and finally turned the cards over to show the line of blacks and reds completely in the order shown here. There were gasps of wonder and surprise when I did this and I was immediately bombarded with ''Please show me how to do it'' and ''How the fuck DID YOU DO THAT?'' etc etc etc. Y'know what, I never told anybody how to do it . I only ever did this that one time and never again. I knew I could never get the feeling of total power I had over a room full of people that believed they were part of a dream of impossibility and craziness. This will always be my all-time fav card trick. Always.
I did a brilliant trick on my friend once, and regret to this day that I told him how I did it. Fuck it didn't even take that long to crack and tell him LOL, I was so excited about how brilliant it was I kinda just wanted to tell him. I definitely shouldn't have. The magic of it died that instant and he wasn't so impressed anymore. (He was going to the store to buy new drum heads and I told him I would predict what he was going to buy. I not only predicted that but predicted the brand of beater that he put on his kick drum. He was completely blown away when I got both correct, and even thought I had called the shop to ask the guy for my friends description and what he'd bought, which I hadn't. It was so good. Should have taken it to the grave).
@@Lyth There's not that many brands that make drum heads, I picked the 5 most popular and wrote them all down and put them in different pockets. Just had to remember what was in what pocket. As for the drum beater guard he bought, I just happened to catch a glimpse of it in the bag and went out to my car immediately to find a pen and write that down on all the papers. When he got to my car I said I have it written down on a piece of paper, and for him to reveal what drum head brand he bought. When he did I reached in the appropriate pocket and pulled out the paper. He was pretty blown away by it. I think I wrote on all of them some snarky remark too.. like, "Of course you bought Remo heads, just like a pussy". Something like that. When we got to our rehearsal space, because I thought it would be funny I pretended to grab something from my pocket, where I had then put all of the papers into, and they all fell out like I accidentally had done it, revealing the trick. It was a funny moment, but I wish I would have just kept him guessing. He had no clue how I did it. He thought I had called the store, LOL.
I've been performing this trick for years but it's better if you do a riffle shuffle at the beginning. Just arrange the deck 13 black 13 red 13 black 13 red then when you split it in half and shuffle it together they're only be one or two in the middle that might be messed up so when you pull out the four for the beginning of the trick you're all set up. The shuffle at the beginning of the trick take this trick to the next level. 👍
Oh man...someone did this trick to me years ago and blew my mind. I do a few card tricks myself and this one had me baffled, thank you so much for the tutorial. Awesome trick.
I google searched 'Churchill' and this shows up on the front page of my TH-cam. At least the algorithms gave me something interesting to watch this time.
its not exactly the same trick but the concept basically the same, there are tweaks that he makes that make his version slightly harder to do but they result in a more convincing trick.
I practise and perform this trick fairly often. It still amazes me when I shuffle the cards, but still see all the reds together and all the blacks together! Sometimes, some stray cards end up in the 'wrong' half, but these can be used as the four cards that will be face up anyway. When I perform the trick, I tend to turn over the 'correct' pile first (as shown in this video), then say 'and I'll do the same with this pile' just before turning the second pile over. This helps to provide the illusion that you are doing the same action with each pile, even though they are slightly different.
I have been performing this trick for over 40 years as a full time magician,and never thought of putting the change over cards in the middle face up( I have always silently counted to 24 then, pretended to find another red and black to turn face up Paul Curry's out of this world)Also very deceptive shuffle.This has never let me down and is a stunning trick.You never stop learning,thank you
Here's a tip if you want to take this trick to the next level. Arrange the deck 13 red 13 black 13 red 13 black. Then at the beginning of the trick split the deck in half and you could actually do a real riffle shuffle. So after that there might be one or two cards in the middle of the deck that are the wrong way so when you take out the four cards to begin the trick you're all set up. After learning this technique I've never had someone figure this trick out.
I’ve recently started learning some card tricks, just fun to do with friends and family. But what bothers me is how I always believe my tricks are so easy for the spectator to understand, because I have done the trick so many times it’s hard to understand that they don’t know what’s going on 😅
Thank you for this. It is the simplest execution of this trick I have seen. All of the other performances involve the magician rearranging the cards after the audience shuffles the deck. Yours is extremely simple and, therefore, the most amazing. The magician is doing nothing "odd" to the cards (i.e. rearranging cards after the shuffle), he or she simply "shuffles", pulls out the 4 cards and immediately hands the deck over. Every audience that I've shown YOUR execution to has been utterly flummoxed. Now, to those people that say, what if the other person demands a reshuffle or turns the decks over...you don't want those people as your friends. They are feeble, insecure people who don't appreciate the fun of magic. They are the people that, after someone tells them something that has impressed them or is important to them, says, "Oh, you did'nt know that?? I already knew that." Really fun people to share your life with.
I would let people shuffle the cards but then I would go through and pick out the 4 aces. I rearranged the cards as I went through them looking for the aces. No one ever saw meputting the reds and blacks on top or bottom. I was very fast in doing it.
For slow learners (like me :p), you might be wondering why Churchill's choice didn't affect the ordering why the deck wasn't messed up with a mixture of red and black cards? Well here's why 4:34 ---- 4:49 he is dealing only red cards RESULT = [ *left*- all red; *right* -all red except 1 at the bottom] 5:17 ---- 5:28 he is dealing only black cards RESULT = [ *left*- all red+black; *right* - all red except 1 at the bottom and 1 at the top] Now he just flips! and you can see those 2 extra cards taken out at the start were functioning just as a "marker"
But to determine the correct pile and the wrong pile, the magician needs to know the very first card which the other person guesses..how to know that when the magician is not knowing or seeing that very first card facedown which the pwrson is going to guess red or black?
@@xyzxyz6498 You don't have to put the first color correctly on the correct pile. You just need to know which color is coming up first. If it is Red, then I always put the red pile on the left. The first several cards can all go on the black pile, that does not matter.
@@ggthegoat3455 yes learnt the quote more after but yes originally I believe mw2 or mw3 and I liked it but didn't know it or understand but now i know and i see a different meaning than most people... it's always the good guys who win, how ironic is that "history is written by the victor" to me means that you cant trust the books they only know the winners stories not the losers story.
For some reason I'm not understanding this. If all the cards aren't shuffled and half the upper is red how does he split to the black going back and forth?
Late reply but...One of the piles will be wrong (reversed). A simple sleight (flip) irreverses them. So you put red on the black and black on the red as long as you do the flip correctly at the reveal. Hope that helps. 4:50
When you put black cards on the red and black pile, if you then take the red card that represents the red cards, and switches it with the black card in that pile, that's how you do it.
Is it a magical miracle in itself that Lincoln was fooled by Harry Green (Cooke) and "77" years later, another Harry Green fooled Winston Churchill? I can't say enough about how your style and excellent talent in producing magically pedantic works of art (your superb TH-cam's) have increased the audience reception of my performances...most to audiences on ZOOM! Thank you, I am a huge fan. I love stories and have extensively researched both the Lincoln and Churchill routines. In fact, I find that the extension of the magical performances are big-time enhanced by extending, of course by first asking for and receiving audience approval, the back stories...each one hugely interesting and factually correct! The thirst for story telling is big and seems to be increasing. Are texting and cell phones creating a vacuum? Thanks Owen, your contributions are helping to make many, many people happy in these troubling times. Keep up the great work.
This truly is an amazing trick! It will get really good reactions! If it's done smoothly and with no mistakes it will look like actual magic! This one is my go to magic trick to impress people!
As a little side note: Churchill stayed up ALL NIGHT in bed until he finally worked out how the trick was actually done, it bothered him THAT much that he had been fooled. Admittedly, as most lovers of magic will know, it's much easier to fool a smart person, as they normally discount the basic and obvious. Excellent trick and one of my favourites.
Oscar is the main reason I got into magic, one day my mum bought a deck of cards and I wanted to learn some tricks, but then Oscar opened my eyes to a world of wonders and now this is one of my passions. Thanks!
I noticed that the flip of the incorrect pile reversed the order, I just didn't pause the video to think that through at the time and know for certain that it was part of the trick. Also, for shuffling bit, it seems like one useful thing is that by picking out four cards you can probably correct any minor mistakes in the color mix.
Saw it on tv, Paul Daniels. Within minutes I’d sussed how to do main part of trick. Took me half hour to work out a shuffle…. Realised it works with a totally new pack. .. been doing it for fun for last 40 years… mocking winston for being so thick… it helped me hitch-hiking the world as a way to pay my way for generosity of the many who looked after me
Best tutorial on OOTW that I’ve ran across on TH-cam! Also like the music and back story to the trick. Very well explained. You just got a subscriber! Thank you!
An improvement when selecting the 2 red and 2 black cards: - Do not take the 4 cards right in the middle of the deck (looks too contrived). - As you go through the deck, have someone else say stop to 'randomly' select the 2 red and 2 black cards. You vary the speed of going through the deck to ensure you have the necessary cards. - After pulling out each of the 4 cards, put them face down so as not to unnecessarily give away info about the stacked deck.
This was a demonstration for teaching the basics of the trick to the novice. Like any pursuit, one must learn the fundamentals -you cannot teach a child to read by handing them Ulysses by James Joyce - when they do not yet know the alphabet. 😉 For the intermediate prestidigitator these variations are fair suggestions. Of course, if one were a world-class, magician I am certain they could come up with infinite variations of this manipulation.
So what if the card is red on top, but they guess it is in the black pile incorrectly at the beginning? Then the first card is in the wrong pile unless a slight, force, or mental manipulation is performed. Or if you show them the card to show whether they are right or wrong in the first guess as a way to ensure that you put it in the right pile
This is a really powerful trick you fooled me, I thank you for revealing it. This trick has 2 moves really, you control shuffle the deck and do a slight at the end, so simple but so powerful. For other people that are looking for amazing magic tricks my all time favorite is 2 Card Monte that was first perform by David Blane years ago, that one is little more advance than this one but as powerful.
The best setup for this is quarter red, quarter black, quarter red, quarter black. Then one faro shuffle with the deck split exactly in half will put the deck into red black order with a real shuffle
Yeah that's a neat idea. Of course, you can use any false shuffle you want as well. I thought the one in the video was particularly nice because it looks like a normal overhand shuffle, and exploits the fact that the rules are different when all you care about is color.
I suppose. But unless you're doing a tabled faro, I've always thought it looked a bit suspicious. The first time I saw it, my immediate reaction was "wtf, you can just push the cards together?"
Geraint Clarke talks about a similar idea of stacking the deck (in mnemonica, for example), then doing an anti-faro prior to the performance. Then you can do a completely genuine shuffle and end up in stack.
Owen, I have a question. During the first shuffle, how we do know we’ve reach half of the cards? Since we don’t want to mixed up red and black cards together
The spectator of the trick would make the way the trick works obvious if they were to put every card on red the whole time, but it would still technically have the appearance of working based on the move the magician does on the second pile
Great effect and video! My only question is, when performing this, what explanation is given to the spectator for putting a black and red card face up in the center of the deck? I don’t think you’re hiding this from anyone, but I’m also not sure what to say when it’s being done. Thanks!
All I say is that “I’m going to put two cards face up in the middle. These will act as marker cards, I’ll tell you about them later” or something like that. As you said - there is nothing to hide here so your audience won’t be suspicious at all!
I figured it out immediately!! Sorry to brag, but I'm a big fan of Churchill, and now I can actually say, sarcastically of course, that I'm smarter than Winston Churchill!!
I’ve tried it on my daughter but instead of a fake shuffle i split the deck-easy when theres a color split- then i asked her to pick a pile and shuffle without looking at the cards and id do the same.. then after both are actually shuffled i put the two back together and carry on with the rest 👍
When all the cards are same color till approx 1/2 the deck, and the cards are played to either pile (red and black), both colors go to each pile. I fail to see how this can work to result with all 1 color being in each pile?
5:12 I added another funny thing. When you give the pile to the spectator show the downside of the deck by accident. He/she will see a black card. I did this with a friend of mine by accident, wasn't ment to be. He thought: Aha, I'm going to put the last card in de red row, because I know it's black so I ruin the trick. Lol, the look on his face when the cards were revealed
So will a card SHARP. No such thing as a card shark. A card sharp will eat you alive if he hears this out of your mouth because he knows you know nothing about cards.
That’s exactly what people will miss; they’ll only notice that the black cards are all together, instead of realizing that they guessed all of those red.
When *wasn't* Churchill drunk? He only had the balls to face down Hitler because he was out of his gourd on drugs (in this case, alcohol). Anybody sober would have given up from the get go.
A guy I worked with did magic tricks like this, with coins mostly. He would show it to you for free the first time. If you wanted him to repeat it again it would cost money. It was a good way to pick up pocket change for him, as curiosity usually was overwhelming to us spectators.
Neither do I - since it says that it was Churchill who decided in which pile the card would go; but when it's "revealed" it's the dealer who decides which pile to put the card in. What am I missing here?
Okay, I think I got it - it doesn't matter which pile Churchill placed the cards in since at the beginning they all were red and in the end all were black. Thanks!
Another improvement may be when 'shuffling' the deck: - At the beginning, alternate between 'shuffling' 1 card, a group of cards, 1 card, a group of cards, and so on. - In the middle, keep 'shuffling 1 card, 1 card, 1 card, and so on. - At the end, alternate between 'shuffling' 1 card, a group of cards, 1 card, a group of cards, and so on
The BEST setup for this trick is a genuinely shuffled deck. Then you can go into 2-1 separation (Lennart Greene) as a memory-demonstration technique or whatever you like. 3 runs are always enough to have entire deck separated into red and black. Then you go into out of this world. Again, starting with a borrowed shuffled desk is 100x better.
NO spectator should ever ask to shuffle. Just watch the fucking trick. Afterwards, you can smile and say "Could you have still done it if I'd shuffled at the start?". Penn and Teller don't get up on stage and start interfering when a magician is trying to fool them. Just watch and try and figure it out without being a dick.
This trick is special to me.
In 1978 I was at home with a book on magic I borrowed from the local library.
There were lots of tricks in this book with a guide on how to do them.
I looked for the hardest one (which was the trick seen here) and I spent an hour or two learning how to do it and I finally cracked it.
When I turned all the cards over just as shown here I saw that I had done it as perfect as anyone could do it.
I was absolutely on a high with joy and excitement as I knew this trick was so brilliant that it would truly impress anyone that was shown it.
The next day I went to my local pub and got a pint. The place was chocka and I waited a little while before I told everyone that they were gonna see a miracle card trick.
Everyone gathered round to watch me and I went through my routine and finally turned the cards over to show the line of blacks and reds completely in the order shown here.
There were gasps of wonder and surprise when I did this and I was immediately bombarded with ''Please show me how to do it'' and ''How the fuck DID YOU DO THAT?'' etc etc etc.
Y'know what, I never told anybody how to do it .
I only ever did this that one time and never again. I knew I could never get the feeling of total power I had over a room full of people that believed they were part of a dream of impossibility and craziness.
This will always be my all-time fav card trick.
Always.
I did a brilliant trick on my friend once, and regret to this day that I told him how I did it. Fuck it didn't even take that long to crack and tell him LOL, I was so excited about how brilliant it was I kinda just wanted to tell him. I definitely shouldn't have. The magic of it died that instant and he wasn't so impressed anymore.
(He was going to the store to buy new drum heads and I told him I would predict what he was going to buy. I not only predicted that but predicted the brand of beater that he put on his kick drum. He was completely blown away when I got both correct, and even thought I had called the shop to ask the guy for my friends description and what he'd bought, which I hadn't. It was so good. Should have taken it to the grave).
@@urwholefamilydied How did you predict it then? Might as well tell us too!
@@Lyth There's not that many brands that make drum heads, I picked the 5 most popular and wrote them all down and put them in different pockets. Just had to remember what was in what pocket.

Why use a vulgar word in the explanation. You demean yourself.

I agree! This manner helps sell it. Great truck and repeatable, as Mr. Churchill found out.
Churchill "wow! Show me that again!"
Magician "er, ok, just give me a minute to, um, sort the cards"
They’re already sorted when the trick is over. The reds and blacks are all separated, all he has to do is stack them.
😂😂😂
There are loads of ways around this! I just didn't teach them in the video :)
How did 154 people give this a thumbs up? Like the others said you have the cards sorted when the trick is finished lol.

By the 6th time I would assume Churchill was sober?
Churchill was a political leader not a magician. Of course is gonna fool him
Yeah he's got other things on his mind
Yeah this trick is literally so easy to figure out to anyone who as ever preformed a magic trick
I love your profile picture
He is also one of the smartest in the world he could have figured it out

For slow learners (like me :p), you might be wondering why Churchill's choice didn't affect the ordering why the deck wasn't messed up with a mixture of red and black cards?

I noticed that the flip of the incorrect pile reversed the order, I just didn't pause the video to think that through at the time and know for certain that it was part of the trick. Also, for shuffling bit, it seems like one useful thing is that by picking out four cards you can probably correct any minor mistakes in the color mix.
Saw it on tv, Paul Daniels. Within minutes I’d sussed how to do main part of trick. Took me half hour to work out a shuffle…. Realised it works with a totally new pack. .. been doing it for fun for last 40 years… mocking winston for being so thick… it helped me hitch-hiking the world as a way to pay my way for generosity of the many who looked after me

Thanks
This really works
I like his magic so much but still it is a little hard
I like your magic a lot

Best tutorial on OOTW that I’ve ran across on TH-cam! Also like the music and back story to the trick. Very well explained. You just got a subscriber! Thank you!
An improvement when selecting the 2 red and 2 black cards:
- Do not take the 4 cards right in the middle of the deck (looks too contrived).
- As you go through the deck, have someone else say stop to 'randomly' select the 2 red and 2 black cards. You vary the speed of going through the deck to ensure you have the necessary cards.
- After pulling out each of the 4 cards, put them face down so as not to unnecessarily give away info about the stacked deck.
you can also say something like "i like aces",and search the deck for 4 aces to start the trick
This was a demonstration for teaching the basics of the trick to the novice. Like any pursuit, one must learn the fundamentals -you cannot teach a child to read by handing them Ulysses by James Joyce - when they do not yet know the alphabet. 😉
For the intermediate prestidigitator these variations are fair suggestions. Of course, if one were a world-class, magician I am certain they could come up with infinite variations of this manipulation.
@@defiantlemming2039 Yes. Great trick. On behalf of my grandchildren, thank you.
I literally got the solution up to the last turnaround, i knew you had to with some sleight of hand switch em around somehow but i didnt know how
Fooled my grandma, mom and brother with this trick. My dad is too good with cards to fall for it though.
Nevertheless, great trick.
Is iy really works.?? Will u explain?
@@Random_vibess it does
So what if the card is red on top, but they guess it is in the black pile incorrectly at the beginning? Then the first card is in the wrong pile unless a slight, force, or mental manipulation is performed. Or if you show them the card to show whether they are right or wrong in the first guess as a way to ensure that you put it in the right pile
It's going to be red no matter what
I know you just explained it but I’m honestly more confused than before 💀
This is a really powerful trick you fooled me, I thank you for revealing it. This trick has 2 moves really, you control shuffle the deck and do a slight at the end, so simple but so powerful. For other people that are looking for amazing magic tricks my all time favorite is 2 Card Monte that was first perform by David Blane years ago, that one is little more advance than this one but as powerful.
When I came home last night, I turned into a driveway!
what
How can I know,which card has to be on the red pile and which on the black pile? The Shuffeling part is clear!
This guy explained me the trick and i didint even know how tf he do that
This trick is INSANE!
The best setup for this is quarter red, quarter black, quarter red, quarter black. Then one faro shuffle with the deck split exactly in half will put the deck into red black order with a real shuffle
Nice.
Yeah that's a neat idea. Of course, you can use any false shuffle you want as well. I thought the one in the video was particularly nice because it looks like a normal overhand shuffle, and exploits the fact that the rules are different when all you care about is color.
You can, but I prefer to do it this way, then there's nothing to see because you're actually shuffling. Nothing looks as real as real.
I suppose. But unless you're doing a tabled faro, I've always thought it looked a bit suspicious. The first time I saw it, my immediate reaction was "wtf, you can just push the cards together?"
Geraint Clarke talks about a similar idea of stacking the deck (in mnemonica, for example), then doing an anti-faro prior to the performance. Then you can do a completely genuine shuffle and end up in stack.
Owen, I have a question. During the first shuffle, how we do know we’ve reach half of the cards? Since we don’t want to mixed up red and black cards together
just have ti make a rough guess
Instructions unclear, how long am I suppose to keep my hamster in the microwave?
This is not funny, Kid. I should put ur sorry ass in a microwave.
what if there is a mix of both black and red cards in one of the piles, how would you separate them?
What if the spectator guesses that 40 cards is red?
It won't actually matter because of the 2 middle cards, and the fact that they will all flip over for the other side
+ it's impossible to have 40 red cards in a standard deck
The spectator of the trick would make the way the trick works obvious if they were to put every card on red the whole time, but it would still technically have the appearance of working based on the move the magician does on the second pile
Moral of the story is if someone is doing a trick for you, don't be a jerk by doing something extreme like that
@@tiger5869 this is why you're the guy at the party that guys want to be and women want to be with. Sorry for assuming your gender there.
Great effect and video!
My only question is, when performing this, what explanation is given to the spectator for putting a black and red card face up in the center of the deck? I don’t think you’re hiding this from anyone, but I’m also not sure what to say when it’s being done.
Thanks!
All I say is that “I’m going to put two cards face up in the middle. These will act as marker cards, I’ll tell you about them later” or something like that. As you said - there is nothing to hide here so your audience won’t be suspicious at all!
cool, thanks!
oscar owen I subscribed you about many months ago...and every time you impress me with your cool.....stuff....😊 😊 😊 😊 😎 buddy hats of to you..
I'm confused by the description of the trick. Does the other person say which pile each card goes to? How do you put the correct card in each pile?
Thanks for teaching me this amazing magic that i can show my friends later on. I enjoy your videos it helps a lot thanks
No problem Bruce! Glad you liked it
I figured it out immediately!! Sorry to brag, but I'm a big fan of Churchill, and now I can actually say, sarcastically of course, that I'm smarter than Winston Churchill!!
Look!!! I even gave myself a thumbs up!
2:53 u saw him flip the deck the other way, so he changed the sequence.
I’m not done with this video yet, but someone did this card trick to me and to this day I’ve never understood how I’m excited to see how it’s done!!
I’ve tried it on my daughter but instead of a fake shuffle i split the deck-easy when theres a color split- then i asked her to pick a pile and shuffle without looking at the cards and id do the same.. then after both are actually shuffled i put the two back together and carry on with the rest 👍
I like this trick and your card magic pro course is best I learn Magic in 2 weeks thanks Oscar Owen to make card Magic pro course love you
Churchill should've asked to shuffle the cards himself.
When all the cards are same color till approx 1/2 the deck, and the cards are played to either pile (red and black), both colors go to each pile. I fail to see how this can work to result with all 1 color being in each pile?
Had the same confusion, after re-watching twice figured it out. Read my comment above.
i actually did this trick to my sister. she flipped the f out haha ty my mab
5:12
I added another funny thing. When you give the pile to the spectator show the downside of the deck by accident. He/she will see a black card.
I did this with a friend of mine by accident, wasn't ment to be. He thought: Aha, I'm going to put the last card in de red row, because I know it's black so I ruin the trick.
Lol, the look on his face when the cards were revealed
Churchill was not a card shark, a card shark will know straight away what the crooked dealer is doing.
So will a card SHARP. No such thing as a card shark. A card sharp will eat you alive if he hears this out of your mouth because he knows you know nothing about cards.
CCPaintballvideos It varies, both "card shark" and "card sharp" can bear the same meaning, with "sharp" being preferred in British English
Redblade being a bit pedantic but it a card sharp not shark..... just saying 👍
CCPaintballvideos triggered
So the moral of the story is, DON'T TRY THIS TRICK ON A CARD SHARP!
2:57 on the right side if u look carefully the newly top cards were supposed to be red before
That’s exactly what people will miss; they’ll only notice that the black cards are all together, instead of realizing that they guessed all of those red.
@@matthewhollier exactly
Thanks Jacob

2:32 when he snapped I got a notification and it scared me😭😂
I don't know but I'm very confused at the last pert. How are they in order?
the tick that made mat franco wiN THE AGT xD
Wow! So simple! Yet so Brilliant
If Churchill asked him to perform it 6 times in a row, how could he reorder the deck to be half red half black while everyone looked at him?
I'd guess this story has some artistic license added to it, to enhance the effect.
But the deck is ordered each time at the end of the trick
I knew how its done but this shuffling fooled me soo Hard. Well done !!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Churchill was really drunk at the time.
Drunk at the time as in "between 1935 and 1945"?
When *wasn't* Churchill drunk? He only had the balls to face down Hitler because he was out of his gourd on drugs (in this case, alcohol). Anybody sober would have given up from the get go.
A guy I worked with did magic tricks like this, with coins mostly. He would show it to you for free the first time. If you wanted him to repeat it again it would cost money. It was a good way to pick up pocket change for him, as curiosity usually was overwhelming to us spectators.
Dude your videos are awesome you should upload a video every day
I love you ♥❤
Thanks mate!
❤
Of all your videos this one is my favorite
Damn ur editing and trick was awesome keep it up
Cheers Shivam!
Hi Oscar! I stopped the video before you tell how to do it. I prefere to stay amazed :-)
ahahaha nice!!
I think Matt Franco preformed something like this
Sydney Law he did I just finished watching it
I still don’t get it. When you are “peeling off chunks of cards” how do you know you haven’t taken too many?
“One of the greatest minds ever known”. Hahahah
Ingenious!! Many thanks for sharing, I'm going to try this out on my wife, lol.
you are telling me how to do this and i still don't understand how it works.
Tristram Coffin that’s because the explanation actually makes no sense.
The Best magic TH-camr ever
I still don’t get it 😳
Neither do I - since it says that it was Churchill who decided in which pile the card would go; but when it's "revealed" it's the dealer who decides which pile to put the card in. What am I missing here?
It's pretty obvious... they're just all the same color for the entire first/second half
Yes, but what if Churchill randomly placed the cards in a pile?
He doesn't, the magician does, but they're all the same so it doesn't matter 3:49
Okay, I think I got it - it doesn't matter which pile Churchill placed the cards in since at the beginning they all were red and in the end all were black. Thanks!
Another improvement may be when 'shuffling' the deck:
- At the beginning, alternate between 'shuffling' 1 card, a group of cards, 1 card, a group of cards, and so on.
- In the middle, keep 'shuffling 1 card, 1 card, 1 card, and so on.
- At the end, alternate between 'shuffling' 1 card, a group of cards, 1 card, a group of cards, and so on
Nobody says he had one of the greatest minds ever.
The guy who made this video did so, yea.
wow this really works thanks for your amazing card tricks Oscar
Thanks for your support!
the next Xavier perret
Alper's World I don't know but I miss him a lot...
Awesome card trick. This is in one of Paul Carey's book called Out of this World.
Yes indeed it is!
Nice tricks
The BEST setup for this trick is a genuinely shuffled deck. Then you can go into 2-1 separation (Lennart Greene) as a memory-demonstration technique or whatever you like. 3 runs are always enough to have entire deck separated into red and black. Then you go into out of this world. Again, starting with a borrowed shuffled desk is 100x better.
"Go ahead, mr. Joestar."
nooo "go ahead mr. joestuuur"
I’ve seen this card trick before, it’s pretty simple but also very impressive!
I saw it first time through.
Folks too scared to say Churchill was dull...
True, lard ass alcoholics are not known for their intelligence.
Thank You even after Your explanation the trick is still attractive to see once again.
So if the spectator wants to shuffle...you have to say no..kinda gives it away right there.
James yeah that's a problem i had that you 😫🤐😪🤤
James to*
NO spectator should ever ask to shuffle. Just watch the fucking trick. Afterwards, you can smile and say "Could you have still done it if I'd shuffled at the start?". Penn and Teller don't get up on stage and start interfering when a magician is trying to fool them. Just watch and try and figure it out without being a dick.
A friend of mine showed me this trick in the 80s when we were kids. It was quite amazing to me back then.
This is the reason why I love TH-cam. Thank you..
guess green got *_BAMBOOZLED_*
He was the one who did it...
what if the the person puts more cards in the red pile than the black, and once its inverted, he puts more cards in the black pile to even it out?
Fucking good...this is I'm looking for....mind blowing card trick
All ur video totally awesome..👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers Ivan!
