*"There's an entire arc that happens after this, where my daughter steals my show and puts me out of a job."* 😂
Please tell us that wasn't the end of the arc? Unless a new Dad and Josie arc is coming.
@@eswift8318 That was the end of that arc, and now a new one begins where she starts showing Brian new scams.
I picked the king of hearts but only after switching from the 4 of hearts because I felt like it was going to be a force. I've actually never seen this trick before. Really neat how most people are drawn to the 4.
Same for me
I choose 9◇ and now I feel good about giving it a go. Always support the underdogs that are hated by everyone. ;)
I would have chose the 4 just as the biasing intended, but since I wanted to choose 4 I didn't.
Same, have a tendency of picking anything on the right hand side on any stuff like this.
I picked the 9 as well.
I picked the 9 as well

I’ve been doing the controlled coin flip exactly as described since I created it in 1981. Sad to see it exposed on TH-cam but I probably wasn’t the first to discover it either.
Did you ever release it?
The bar scene is fun, but I love so much getting to see Josie learn and interact with you! As a father of a girl to be, that is so cool to watch!
Is this Matthew Patrick.... game theory MP?
As extremely flattering as that is, because I _LOVE_ all of his channels, I am not him. Interesting, though, that we do have the same name, about the same age, and similar family structure.
Hey, congrats! Yeah, their relationship is really heartwarming, it makes me smile. He did a great job of making sure to stoke her curiosity and she seems so respectful. Here's to a healthy future for you and your daughter as well sir!
@@GRAYgauss thank you Graygoose! I hope to do the same for my girl snd musicianship
TBH i have really enjoyed the last year of shows with you teaching your daughter tricks, it has been very sweet watching you two interact like that.
Honored to have been featured! Can’t wait until we can meet again, got a lot of cool stuff I still want to show!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yep! Very excited for that day!
Subbed! I love all this content, even though I never remember anything and can't pull off a single trick yet xd
@@cranfill Me too Cory.
I love all of your work complicated or not. Been a fan from episode one. My favorite trick is the simplest, the static straw spin. I was in a McD's with my nieces and randomly said "Want to learn a magic trick?" I apparently said it loud enough for most of the people to hear. All of a sudden I had the whole restraint watching the kiddos moving a straw with there minds. Damn good crowd pleaser.
All the guest magicians are great, but I think my favorite is Diamond Jim.
Diamond Jim is just so laid back when he's performing. I feel that even if I was there watching him, I'd still miss his sleight of hand or misdirection because it just feels so natural.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate your kind words. I work hard at my craft to make it look effortless.
@@djtyler I'm glad you replied because I didn't know you had a youtube channel.
Honestly, same.
Whos Brian and wheres the host Jodie?
The small card trick is genuinely one of my favourite tricks of all time. It always get a good laugh and does genuinely confuse people. It's my most requested trick to preform
Where could I find a small 9 of hearts?
@@VylePhinder you should be able to purchase small decks on Amazon but if you can't find any check Bicycles website
It makes the 4♥ look like the cutest card in the set and humans are naturally drawn to cute things.
Well, in trick 2 I picked the 9 of diamonds. In my "too obvious" deduction I avoided the face card, ace, and black card just as mentioned, but went for the edge card cause it seemed least likely to be picked. Sort how everyone picks C in a multiple choice guess.
I choose the black card is that really workin?
I was 'drawn' to the 4, but I also selected the 9 of diamonds. I think my selection was mostly a case of rejecting my first two choices.
You say "3 years," but I remember getting into the back catalogue of Scam School on Revision 3 like 11 years ago, and even that was a few years after the first Scam School episode aired.
In just a few days (on April 6th) it'll be the 13-YEAR anniversary of the first episode of Scam School airing on Rev3. That's CRAZY, man.
Damn, time flies. Congrats on everything, and I can't thank you enough for singlehandedly reviving my childhood love of slight of hand. I've learned so many awesome things from your videos over the years from the magic and bar scams everyone expects to learn, to wild psychology and social engineering hacks, and even got some of my all-time favorite book suggestions from your show.
I still maintain that we need a Modern Rogue Book Club, or a Scam Nation Book Club. _How to Win Friends and Influence People; Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion; The CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception_ ; there are so many incredible books I learned about from you, or because of your show in one way or another.
Funny to hear that people don't like the Nine of Diamonds. That's been my favorite card since I bought a Svengali deck as a kid; it had the 9D as the force card.
You guys are all amazing, and doing awesome things. Me and all my buddies appreciate all your hard work!
Keep it up😀
Awesome set of tricks!
Thanks Brian you do realise I'm now going to be tossing cards across the lounge trying to get em to spin back 😀
That Vernon force is insane. I had picked the 7 of clubs until a SPLIT second before and then switched to the 4 of hearts.
I changed my mind at the last second to the 4 of hearts too! And even before that, I wasn't even thinking about picking one of the first 3 cards...it was always between the 4 and the 9!!!
This is sorcery!!!!
These weren't quite good, they were bloody fantastic ❤️
Btw whenever I see coleslaw I still think of that exchange with Diamond Jim and Rex Williams. Laughing at the sight of coleslaw is a disease I'm afflicted with forever.
Cracks me up each time too.
what video was that in?? you have me intrigued
I legitimately freaked out about how cool it was that the 4 of hearts was the chosen card. I haven't watched the rest of the explanation yet but TAKE YOUR DAMN LIKE that was an awesome moment of internet magic lol
Feeling like time traveling.
Glad to see back old bets.
Love your show man👏👏
Heaton is a national treasure. More Heaton, is what I say
He's got a fun political podcast that Brian's on sometimes.
@@WritesMe really? What's it called?
Hey Brian, do you think you could add timestamps to the video? Would be much appreciated :)
I literally chose the Ace of diamonds, but then quickly switched to 4 of hearts. Mind blown!!
That's funny because I had the same experience but the other way round! Still crazy that my gut was to go for the 4 but then some reverse psychology or something to switch to the ace
exactly how my mind worked in the moments we got to choose, i looked at the ace n thought no and 4 of hearts was where i went next.
same dude wth I thought the ace was too obvious then a switched to 4 of hearts
The reason that the trick at 18:22 works is because we use a Base-10 counting system. (We use digits 0-9 and then you move over a column.) Do the same trick with any other base counting system (We will call it Base-x) and the result will always be x - 1.
I couldn’t follow the maths. Can someone give me the formula, please?
@@gordonastley in simple words, all you need to know is if a number is divisible by 9, then the sum of it's digits will be divisible by 9. And the new number made by the sum of the digits of the previous, since that is divisible by 9, then the sum of IT'S digits will also be divisible by 9. So as long as the original number is divisible by 9, then you can keep reducing the number in this way until you get to 9.
And anything that involves 3 * 3 at some point (or any multiples of 3) will be divisible by 9, so you make someone multiply enough numbers together at the start and it's practically guaranteed.
My brain: PICK THR FOUR OF HEARTS ♥️
Me: Ugh fine
Brian: did you pick the four hearts?
Me: dang you you simple brain
its less about being simple minded than it is about over thinking it, my instant reaction was the king, but i thought about it and it felt obvious so quickly reasoned that 4 looks innocuous, sort of the underdog there and switched to that. theres a small window of time the trickster has to allow you just enough time to second guess yourself before forcing the next part. simple tricks like these go pretty deep into how our minds work lol
All I can say is my mind went through every single piece of that five card trick and I wound up Choosing the 4 Of heart and wish I could replicate the feeling I had inside of child bewilderment when you explained the trick and had shown the card I had chose. Lol thankYou.
Night night everyone!! Great show!!
I love Vernon's 5 card mental force. I've long been amazed by it. I learned it from a magi in Pgh back in 1997 and I didn't believe him, but surely...your presentation is even better B. I like the very non chalant way you mention only the two and then roll into it. I haven't seen it done by anyone else in years...thx.
David Blaine did it in one of his early specials
Oh this stuff is brilliant! I can't wait to try these myself
Absolutely brilliant site, it’s my first time viewing and I love it 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice, I learned a few new tricks :)
These tricks were definitely worth the rewatch
I picked the 9 of diamonds
Me too!
So did I, but just after overthinking it. My first impulse was the four of hearts.
Me too!
I've seen most of these videos before, but enjoy watching again. 😁
4.5 cent trick was great when you pulled it on your daughter.
@@robertlang4955 I like this version a little better, no need to have the extra pennies and keeping them in a small envelope is easier. Great trick.
3:30 I, too, picked the four of hearts because it was the only suit that had two cards so it seemed like a "harder" to guess perfectly. I failed to consider the fact that *all* the other cards were outliers.
"Cole's law". Best joke ever.
Ha ha.
Ok, I’m definitly doing the “4.5 cents” one on my friends tomorrow.
cutting a penny in half is harder than you might first expect
And I love Heaton's response
@@harmonslytherin no kidding, its easier to grind down half of it on a belt, just make sure u mask up first. Also i think english pennies are heavier so the blowing it into a glass trick really takes some doing.
I just use two pairs of pliers and bend it back and forth until it snaps in two.
@@djtyler this is doable with an english penny too but takes sooo much effort to snap like that. still, good tip!
Always love your stuff. Your GREAT
I love this channel so much!!!!
Me too!!!!
I remember the do as I do from the great Harry Andersons book. Great show guys, keep it up!
The card spinning move they did at 23:44, I never knew this was a trick. I do this a lot at work when bored just because I wanted to do something with my hand.
Here's how it worked. I saw the 5 cards. I thought Ace.........wait, no that's too obvious. Then I thought 7.........wait no, it's the only black card and its the number seven. What's a card that is least likely to be picked? 4 of hearts. Low number, nothing special, one of the 4 red cards. Got me.
that's exactly what it relies on
I picked it too
You had me at 3 of hearts. These are awesome!
I have to admire this..its Slick and though they make it sound easy..its not..not to appear natural..very very well executed!
My favorite is the polar bears fishing with Diamond Jim.
I like that one a lot too. I did it for a friend today. I do it I think just so I can tell the stupid joke at then end. LOL
6:08 restrained "please don't laugh" xD
Thank you Carmen
28:21 Yeaaah I’m all set with that trick....
You can keep that one
4:04 by everything apart from the 4 of hearts being an outlier, this makes the 4 of hearts itself become an outlier as it is the only one that is not one. Thus they are all outliers.
WHILE being actually true by definition the PERSON is not specifically told that. Choose one......Psychologically I want to choose the LEAST obvious choice........via 4H
I like that card trick, it's clever psychology, the center calls your attention already and it's an ace so you think obviously that's the one so you're changing your mind. The black 7 is the odd one out so it's the obvious next choice to skip. 4 is the next closest option and it's out. King would be an obvious one to avoid as it's the very first. I went with the 9 based off all that ^
27:45 This is a good trick to do after vodka shot if you have a napkin because you can use some of the vodka to sterilize the edge of the desk. That said, there's still some risk because even vodka has typically about 40% alcohol and proper sterilization requires 70+.
Was that the greatest card trick ever?
Me who picked the ace: -_-
I picked King
I was trying to be tricky and my dumb ass picked the 4 of hearts.
Went for the 7.
9 here, sorry
Ace here......sorry. wont use this one EVER.
5:35 omg that got me so good im just cackling in the bathroom like a lunatic
Rick Smith Jr.!! Love him!
you def got me with the 4 of hearts, that blew my mind.
yea I picked it too, and for pretty much the reasons he mentioned
I picked the 4 of hearts!! 😅 well played video, well played!
have you seen the" smoking quarter" bar trick?......it requires old-school paper matchbooks and a bit of prep, but it works......
That card boomerang effect is something I discovered as a kid, playing with a frisbee.
That card one was weird, my mind was just like “well obviously the ace is the most obvious pick but they’d expect that and I don’t want to be on the edge cause I like the center and I don’t want to be near either of the face cards so I’ll pick the 4 of hearts” that’s crazy
I picked the Ace and my wife picked the 7. Guess we are the odd ones...lol.
My ALL TIME favorite tricks that I learned and consistently perform are the one where you slap the cards out of their hands at the end and the 3 coin trick. The latter isn't on TH-cam because you have to pay for it but it is strong and simple
I picked the king of hearts. In my head I knew I was being primed to pick something less obvious, so I intentionally picked the most obvious one. This was all subconscious of course, but I found it interesting.
I picked the 7 of clubs BECAUSE it was obvious, because I knew that you'd know that I won't pick the obvious choice.
Which means that the obvious choice is the cards who are not obvious which makes the 7 of clubs not obvious.
I love the 9 of diamonds!
"#11 was so good I wasn't allowed in a bar for over a year!"
My spontanious thought was the 4H but i quickly switched to 9D. :P
I picked the 7 of clubs. Only one black card meant I should pick it, because I should’ve done it, so there was no way that was going to be the card.
the 4.5 trick is good...I know another 9's trick thats cool too. But on this one, if Im at a bar, I say - "look I got change in both my pockets (tap tap) - chose a pocket (each has 4.5 cents and other stuff that I keep segregated....) I pull them out - jingle in my hand - and put them into a napkin. Then progress from there - adds a wee bit of more mystery......I thought jeez if Im cutting a penny in half then I might as well us both....adds another layer of randomness to the mark. Works every time....just only do it once though as per usual.
4:30 I have been the victim of this trick and done it twice to people twice, a loooong time ago. I solved it with some nimble fingers, victim 1 solved it by grabbing the glass with the mouth. Victim 2 just dumped it on the floor "your trick, your floor".
Ohh, love Libertarian Andy.
11:27 - who ever tosses a coin like this? It's usually launched from the nail thumb.
Choose the 4 of Hearts... my girlfriend just picked the Ace... because its the highest one... I think it only works if you think to much about it. ^^
Brushwood! I’ve found you! I loved scam school! I feel like I just hit the jackpot!
Did the 4 of Hearts trick for my wife and that's the card she picked. Funny thing was, when I grabbed a deck to search for the 5 required cards, the very first card I saw, as I turned the deck over, was the 4 of Hearts at the bottom of the deck. So good trick, but how'd the hell did you manage that, lol.
Boomerang cards.... Thanks, there's now a card stuck behind my TV xD
I did pick the 4 of
Gotta love Austin, Texas
God damned 4 of hearts got me lol
Since age 9
4 has been My favorite number 👏👏👏
Well done My friend
What, what? That 4❤ was my third and final choice. I thought ppl would go for ace or black!
I picked the 9 of diamonds. I did eliminate the Ace and King immediately due to their popularity, but I was deciding between the 7 of clubs and the 9. In this case, I would've "won". So is there a way around this or do you just go with the odds and hope it works? And, I assume, you can only play the odds, but how do you play it off if they don't pick the correct card?
I hate you Brian!! With that second trick I definitely did pick the 4 of Hearts lol
I chose the Ace precisely because I knew you were not expecting me to choose the most obvious one :))
@ 6:07 Brian got the joke. Haha
28:00 Hair spikes are back baby! They have been passed on like an olympic torch
Not gonna lie, in the second trick, after you talked about the ace in the middle and to choose a card I knew it was some type of force, and it made me look at the 4 and I was about to choose it but I chose the 9 because I thought that somehow it would be the 4 and that’s exactly what you would want. Not to be “oh I outsmarted it!” It’s more like I had naturally wanted to choose the 4, and in doing so I chose against my natural choice because I thought it might be the one he chose?? If that makes sense! Cool trick though!! That’s cool how that exact set up makes you naturally want to choose the 4
28:25 that look on the boys face is so satisfying
I picked the nine, why because I went with the gut instinct (the 4) and shifted it one down.
"PRACITCE" makes perfect
I picked the four. Blew my mind when you picked it.
The number nine trick works because as soon as you add the sum of any number above nine then subtract it from the original number that number will become divisible by 9 . Any number that the sum of the numbers equal nine , will be divisible by nine - examples 18 27 36 45 54 or the sum will be equivalent to a multiple of 9 .
You and your daughter are a fantastic duo
I picked the 4 of Hearts... wow nice
I thought that same thing on the Dai Vernon trick, so I picked the 9 of diamonds lol
Exactly. The four of hearts is 1) the only even card, but it's 2) NOT the center-of-the-spread Ace [which seems too obvious a choice], 3) NOT the only black card [and too obvious], 4) NOT the only face card [and too obvious], and 5) NOT an end card [and too obvious]. My experience with similar tricks tells me that the four should be chosen by more than 80% of the people asked.
That was .... actually pretty impressive. 4 of hearts it was
Lol, saw the 4, figured thats what i was supposed to pick, went back to my actual favorite king ;)
People hate the 9 of diamonds, me: Hey thats my card LOL
Same.
Damn you, Brushwood. I picked the 4 of hearts.
Witchcraft!
I don't know how I did that, but my first reaction was the 4 of hearts for all the reasons you mentioned, but somehow my brain knew that was too inconspicuous and then went with the 9 of diamonds.
Same
you got me on the 4. I thought Ace then thought naw go with the 4...
