Magician Juan Tamariz on John Fisher's 'The Best of Magic' on 4th October 1989. With Annabel Croft and Simon Mayo. From The MagicWeek Video Archive www.magicweek.co.uk
All these minutes are actual magic of the highest level: the time when he install his character as goofy and funny lower the the attention on cards, take it on him. The shuffle he made instead of the host, the little trick in the middle which is only helping to focus off the audience and host on what just happened with the deck shuffle, everyone is also focused on direct manipulation and don't consider he will "move things at a distance". Damn, seeing this just makes me learning so much it's crazy. Going after him on this show must have been really hard for the performer
It is funny to see all those magicians being "serious" these days (I love them though) while Juan Tamariz, acting like he's on cocaine doing weird stuff like that fastest card trick in the world, is considered without a doubt one of the greatest (if not the greatest) minds of magic of our era. Amazing Tamariz, love it.
Love him. He comes across like he's just escaped an institution and has absolutely no skill with handling cards at all. Its pure genius. I much prefer to ed marlo style, where its no secret he is incredible skilled with card. For me the real magic is in a guy who doesn't appear to do anything handles the cards so naturally if not clumsily. Yet stuff happens....that's magic
Tamariz was the funniest magician in Spain when I was a kid. Then, a lot follow his steps mixing humour and magic. I would say that Piedrahita is now the best card magician with humour
if your into structure and a theatrical setting for deception, the prediction is GENIUS! Super smart guy, he fools you with the moves you already know! GENIUS
locke2517 that’s not a faro or anti faro. There are multiple cards clumped on each side. The key to this is that the top is preserved. Look closely, the first 10-15 cards are not shuffled. From there he just needs to get the girl to pick a low number.
Amazing! Only thing I can imagine here is that he has the deck that is in the case in a pre-arranged order he has memorized. And so when she says 7, he knows that is the ace of spades, and then he forces the ace of spades in his finger-over-cards selection. But what would have happened if she waited a while to say "stop"?? He spread them so wide he couldn't just force the ace of spades from anywhere his finger was, could he have? Maybe he would have found a way to still justify forcing the ace.... What an amazing trick. Him acting like such a lunatic really sells it too
Okay I will explain the shuffle So I guess 6 out faros bring the deck back into the order before the first faro so she faroed the deck 5 times and when he faroed for the 6th time on set and he pushed the cards together, it was back into order before the first faro which I presume is mnemonica because of 7 and Ace Of Spades
Yes, but he did it long before the woman chose a number, so how did that card end up at that number? Perhaps he has the order of the enclosed deck memorized, but once she says a number how does he manage to get her to say "stop" at a place where he can plausibly pick out the card he knows he needs to "find"?
@@LorenzoGodioit's a timing force and he hovered his hand very high so he can adjust it slightly. So 1, he knew the seventh card is the ace of spade(very popular so if chosen she wouldnt change her mind) 2, he saw the ace of spade is near the end so he cut it towards the middle 3, he timed it perfectly so she would say stop(like seeing her lips parting preparing to say sssssss) 4, the most important part(this is pure genius) at first he(tamariz) did an anti faro and spreaded it so he(second spectator) would push them together without changing the order, he(tamariz) never touched the deck for the entire time, performed 1-3 and the miracle happen it satisfied 3/4 of "the berglas effect" conditions 1, A shuffled deck is on the table in full view ✅(at least it seemed so) 2, A number 1-52 is freely named ✅ 3, a card is freely selected/named ❌ 4, The performer never touched the deck ✅ TL;DR : Tamariz is the GOAT and performed ACAAN with a stacked deck, let the spectator shuffled it without changing the order, forced the second spectator a card after knowing a freely chosen number and the card is in that number in a deck never touched
That's the wonderful part. The forcing had to be absolutely clean and open. If you read his books you can find out so many subtleties... He is as good as that
Just in case is not clear, when she chooses seven he knows the seventh card in the closed case is the ace of spades so he must force her to choose the ace of spades. He could have used any of the classical methods to force a card that never fail but he decided to take. the risk. That is what makes it so special. Actually you enjoy it more if you know how the trick works
@@Malsabidillo It's like he found a bimbo who would herself be most predictable. All he had to do to force a card was stick it in the middle of the spread (she really didn't have a choice to stay "stop" sooner). If she had delayed saying "stop", he'd have to move to plan B.
This is the problem with many kids getting into magic today. They think it’s all moves and fooling the eye. Juan’s opener was pure genius for several reasons here’s a couple: 1. It broke the ice with the audience letting them know it’s about having fun (also served to relax their senses). 2. It was more entertaining on it’s own than most “fooler” tricks. Also notice how the intensity of tricks started low and built up to miracle level at the end. It’s less about staring at your hands in the mirror and more about creating an experience.
She goes along with it because she enjoys the fun of the behavior, character and situation. Don't bring your twisted sjw values into the beautiful world of magic
Important to realise he doesn’t kiss her at all, she kisses him. So whilst he’s joking he’s not doing it in an unpleasant manner because he’s not in charge of how strong the kisses are, the lady is.
Several minutes of zero actual magic and the audience loves him. What a legend.

Its called showmanship. Es muy importante!

@Lost Stratagem Well I remember I actually decided to watch some Lennart Green performances right after that video haha, love them so much
@Lost Stratagem Juan Tamariz is the teacher of Danny Da Ortiz
He's the Roberto Benigni of Magic.

Juan Tamariz is a true genius.
Honestly, I mostly keep coming back for the “fastest card trick in the world”. It’s so fun to watch.
The Roberto Benigni of Magic.
I thought the same thing in the first 5 seconds of video, magic!
Joder, que bien entiendo el inglés de Juan...
@Achilles Layton @policía
What a lovely personality. Love this guy
Tamariz was the funniest magician in Spain when I was a kid. Then, a lot follow his steps mixing humour and magic. I would say that Piedrahita is now the best card magician with humour
Didn't know, will look for him. Thanks
Juan is an absolute master of his craft! An absolute pleasure to experience his character.
You again....
..one of my favorite performances
Beautiful piece of a treasure
He’s just so so so so good. The best.
Love it
Acojonante. Es un máquina
El mejor mago con diferencia. Siempre he apreciado a este hombre y su magia.
Performance is everything
@@infjason8470 how tho
Genio y figura
Bueno figura no mucha :) ni falta que le hace
I adore this guy.
Awesome
8:10 "we'll be back in a couple of minutes with STACKS more magic" lol
amazing tamariz !!
Isn't it incredible that so much people (even if not enough) watched this video and didn't like it. Are they empty inside?
Un genio.
Spettacolo
Simply magic. Simply Juan Tamaríz.
A true genius.
Perfectamundo!
if your into structure and a theatrical setting for deception, the prediction is GENIUS! Super smart guy, he fools you with the moves you already know! GENIUS
He is so entertaining and fun to watch. Even if you're not impressed by the magic its still entertaining.
Magic is the total defiance, of all natural laws and science. With magic, the impossible becomes possible.
The best.
Big article on him in NY Times Magazine Jan 8 2023.
the best magician

great magician XD
¡The fastest card trick in the world! Hahaha ooh the laughs I miss.

Thank you - I should have added them from the start and have now updated.
best card magician in Spain
In the world
@@nicobva si amigo!
In the world, and to me, in the history.
Time to add Rene Lavand as well to the list of real Genius Masters...
And in the world
What a beautiful lady ❤️ ❤️❤️
Oh, grow up! 😠
Anthea Turner
@@tompow2832 No it isn't. She's called Annabel Croft
She went to the hairdresser and asked for a Tamariz😂
Perfect performance and so funny. What is her name btw
Annabel Croft
Her gaze at 4'32 is gold. She is so astonished
Otro super mago fue Rene Lavand de Argentina.
Grande entre los grandes.
god european magicians were so entertaining and funny.
This is why mnemonica is great for ACAAN...
Did he switch the guys deck for a deck in mnemonica stack?
@@locke2517 yes... then everything is acting...
I looked at it again, I think he actually anti faros the deck then he spreads it then he has the spectator "mix" the deck
@@locke2517 oh... saw it too... sorry... he did not switch...
locke2517 that’s not a faro or anti faro. There are multiple cards clumped on each side. The key to this is that the top is preserved. Look closely, the first 10-15 cards are not shuffled. From there he just needs to get the girl to pick a low number.
"Stacks" more magic... Wow.... did he know?! ;)
0:30-0:34 5:22-5:43 love the patter
what a snag 1:03
LOLOLI QUE CHISTOSO SO FUNNY

@@internet1619 that's a mnemonica stack deck order
Okay I will explain the shuffle

4:03
the best acaan EVER
That's a ballsy force!!!
I`m also dumb as shit
Immanuel Jerom yeah can‘t do that to most spectators
It’s not a force, if you read his book Mnemonica Miricals, you should figure it out after learning about the beautiful concepts he came up with.
@Rui Zhang : didn't he, to match the 7th of the second deck?
At he end it seems the woman said: How did you do that? hehehe...
She already did in the middle
Why does he do the violin thing?
its a little postscript he does everytime he finishes a trick.
Trademark since he started, some 50 years ago
The host did not shuffle, Juan shuffled and he accomodated the cards. Great example of misdirection, telling the host he shuffled.😁
Yes, but he did it long before the woman chose a number, so how did that card end up at that number? Perhaps he has the order of the enclosed deck memorized, but once she says a number how does he manage to get her to say "stop" at a place where he can plausibly pick out the card he knows he needs to "find"?
Como se nota que es español ompare
qué coño es "ompare" ? XD
@@Dariet88 Compadre*
Abreviatura de Compadre ....se puede abreviar más ....
Pare....
Que paja pare!!!
(Pero ya sería un andaluz muy castizo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
si todos los españoles fueramos tan listos como tamariz seriamos la mayor potencia del mundo.
That lady is so pretty
yes, she is si beauty.
Simps.
Grow up, ffs. 🙄
Anthea Turner
Wait a moment... he just memorized the entire first deck in an instant and then picked the seventh card when hovering?
it's mnemonica, a stack invented by him and he already had known it for years
How can he force the choose during the hovering?
@@LorenzoGodioit's a timing force and he hovered his hand very high so he can adjust it slightly.
So
1, he knew the seventh card is the ace of spade(very popular so if chosen she wouldnt change her mind)
2, he saw the ace of spade is near the end so he cut it towards the middle
3, he timed it perfectly so she would say stop(like seeing her lips parting preparing to say sssssss)
4, the most important part(this is pure genius)
at first he(tamariz) did an anti faro and spreaded it so he(second spectator) would push them together without changing the order, he(tamariz) never touched the deck for the entire time, performed 1-3 and the miracle happen
it satisfied 3/4 of "the berglas effect" conditions
1, A shuffled deck is on the table in full view ✅(at least it seemed so)
2, A number 1-52 is freely named ✅
3, a card is freely selected/named ❌
4, The performer never touched the deck ✅
TL;DR : Tamariz is the GOAT and performed ACAAN with a stacked deck, let the spectator shuffled it without changing the order, forced the second spectator a card after knowing a freely chosen number and the card is in that number in a deck never touched
@@trongvu1018 wow thank you for your explanation.
i need to see more uses of the deck stack to be convinced. seems to obvious.
Bill Gates alter ego, Juan Tamariz
Bit rude at 2:13 "w*nker w*nker"
He meant to say "one card, one card"
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
She has to be a Stooge. How could he have that Ace be the 7th card without her being a stooge?
Well that's the trick, but I can tell you that she's not a stooge, it's all skill.
That's the wonderful part. The forcing had to be absolutely clean and open. If you read his books you can find out so many subtleties... He is as good as that
Just in case is not clear, when she chooses seven he knows the seventh card in the closed case is the ace of spades so he must force her to choose the ace of spades.

3:00 the actual start
What do you mean 3:00 actual start?????? omfg.... do you even know what magic is about?
Are you fucking serious?

@@PabloPips Why so butt hurt?
Didn't appreciate the inappropriate kissing at the end
Legend Says he had Dirty Sex With her after the show. Sorry for you

Its a joke! The master Tamariz always does that.

Important to realise he doesn’t kiss her at all, she kisses him. So whilst he’s joking he’s not doing it in an unpleasant manner because he’s not in charge of how strong the kisses are, the lady is.
