After nearly 50 years of being amazed by magicians, I'm just starting to learn about it. Thanks for making videos like this. Having the skills to be able to pull stuff like this off all feels a long way away. But everyone had to start somewhere. It's great finding out the techniques and rather than spoiling the magic, it just makes me more awestruck at how much skill is involved. Keep it up man!
Great trick.Great first I thought he's going to do the rising card trick.Im sure you know how that works.About 15 years ago they came out with these hard to see elastic bands.When they picked their card.you lay it out out and put the deck back in the pack along with the band all the way around the pack .You slide their card in slowly as the invisible elastic wants to push it back out.You know the rest of the story.My ? Is have you ever seen them and if so w j ere can you buy them.
Hey Jay I saw this trick a while ago and I came back to it to refine my performance, and I thought that instead of palming a card, you can leave the card under the card case, and shake the deck slowly, and drop the card while shaking the case. This is a simple alternative to palming, and I think it might help people who struggle with palming. It would be great if I could get your thoughts on this idea! Thanks for the awesome ideas man!
Jay, Your ideas never cease to amaze or inspire me. You've just given me a greater reason for the ambitious card: The card being "drawn" to the spectator's touch rather than just rising to the top. And for the finale, the card jumps out of the box to be with them. I may just call it the amorous card. Many thanks for all you contribute to magic community.
Jay, I have been learning from you for over 30 years. One of my first 10 magic books was Sankey Panky when I was around 15 or 16. After reading 9 (or so) other good books on magic (there was no youtube then, we had to read and break it down back then...remember)? I came across your book. It changed my entire understanding of what could actually be done in close up. This trick is a perfect example of how clever your thinking and teaching is. you are so good because you break down and "understand" every subtlety of your magic and such a great teacher because of your ability to get me to change my thinking. You are truly a master....
Great stuff! I'm a nursing student currently in pediatrics working with sick kids. I thought it'd be cool to learn some simple magic tricks to entertain the kids while they're hospitalized. It's amazing how even the simplest of magic tricks can brighten their days and temporarily get their minds off of their conditions. Thank you!
I love that you're telling people to create their own versions. When I buy a gimmick, I never watch the trailer. I don't want to know what that creator had in mind for it. I take the gimmick and put my influence on it. Thanks for what you do man, I really appreciate what you do.
Hi Jay.. I've been practicing magic for over 10 yrs now and I have to say your tutorials are awesome and so clear and direct.. your my favourite teacher out there in the world of magic.
Jay, just started to watch your channel Im now retired and looking for magic tricks for my grandson with the hope of encouraging him to learn something so he can impress his friends with at parties etc, thanks for sharing love the palm switch!
"which I'm crap at..." I love your honesty. I'm crap at that move too... Just can't trust myself to only pinky one card, so I do the thumb move as well. Keep being awesome... and honest!
I love this, Jay. It's a superb finish to the Ambitious Card! Visual, easy to understand and, most importantly - I will be able to remember how to do it since there's no 6,432.85 step set up! Thanks for all of your years of sharing such great magic.
Awesome video. Palming took me time to learn, and took more time to get over that nervousness of thinking people will see the move. Huge tip that Jay has covered many times, making it look natural and hiding it wit your movements of the performance or misdirection. I’ve been caught at it once so far and it was because I couldn’t distract the person from intently burning my hands. I should have used a larger movement or a bigger distraction... it was an impromptu card to wallet that I hadn’t done recently. I learned a lot in just a few minutes on that mistake.
I loved your comment about overcoming physical problems like small hands or skinny fingers. I have been trying to learn coin magic, and I still can't imagine palming a card as effortlessly as you do. Right now I am trying to improve my coin magic. I love it because people always have coins. They are so familiar and the metal is so solid they take people by surprise. I would love to have a copy of Crash Course in Coin Magic. I have a long way to go, and I think I could learn a lot. I would also like to pass the book on to my oldest grandson.
Jay, I never get tired of watching your videos. You are my favorite magician of all time man. I wish I could do just one of your tricks. Maybe someday I'll get the confidence to learn one.
Just came across you today on here.. thanks! And I'm just starting at age 40 to try and learn the mist I can because my kids are at that age where it's hard to amuse them .. And yes! I wish I had bigger hands .. never realized how big cards were until you try and hide one. Thanks again.. I hope to learn a lot from you.
Awesome effect man. I only started magic about a year ago, and work every day on different slights, florishes, presentations, ect. I do door to door sales and I use card magic in my presentations. I'm excited to start practicing this routine for my clients.
Bullet Proof , Jay this -in my humble opinion is one of the best tricks you have and I want to learn them so that someday I can be as professional as you are.
First of all, loved this trick. The moment at the end was stunning and it's brilliant how it's not as complex as it looks. As for the contest, whilst I would have any one of the selection, the one I'm interested in the most is Devil's Knot. It looks beautiful and the effect is beautiful. (A close second was Assassin's Pouch just because of how practical it is)
Sankey! I just wanted to tell you, you are a badass! From your attention to detail and subtleties of each trick, to your humor and personality, to your skill and knowledge. You truly bring a unique, entertaining and informative perspective and I appreciate you on many levels man. Seriously thank you immensely for sharing your expertise on your craft so selflessly, and your a funny bastard Sankey, I hope I get to meet you one day. Take care bruv.
Hey Jay I love this video not just for an awesome trick but for reminding us all about presentation. I have not got great skills with slights and i definitely dont get enough practice time in but i get lots of positive reviews by presenting "simple " tricks with personality. You can cover slow hands with a fast mouth and many times make something that other magicians might dismiss as to basic seem incredible to an audience ...we all have our own style but id love you to do a video on the verbal tricks that raise your performance
This is one of the best card tricks I have seen, I am definitely going to put time in learning this trick. Thank you for the tutorial ;) Kind regards Jesse
I enjoy watching your instructions. Very easy to follow. Would you suggest a starter kit, say maybe off of amazon or something? Just to entertain my son and eventually friends.
Jay I'm a big fan of your tricks and your perspective of magic. I would love bullet proof because I feel like it would really add to my magic repertoire.
Jay you are so funny, loved watching this video. You are casually explaining the trick and then out of the blue you start talking about sneezing and snot, lol it made me burst out laughing.....
Thank you so much for putting so much passion thought and technical explanations into your videos. I think they are gold not only for beginners. Cheers... have joy.
I've always been very scared of palming, I've got those stinkin windows. I learned the convincing control from the submarine trick (now one of my all time favorites) and I wanted to revisit this. I need to practice palming a lot (I hate practice) but this is a truly astonishing trick. I love your tricks Jay, you're my favorite card trick teacher. You're an amazing man, keep making inspiring content!
Thank you for the mention of using a pinky pull down. I've never gotten the knack for riffling off a card or two at the bottom of the deck and just figured out the pull down recently - having other techniques opens up so many options. As for the giveaway - definitely Bulletproof.
Another beautiful tree brother I loved it and the best part is I learned palm cards I’ve been palm cards for years the seen this trick years ago watched your video was doing it in 5 mins
Well taught I have been into magic most my life but never took it seriously then was on TH-cam about a year ago and came across your channel and now at 30 watching your video that's all I think about and practice every chance I get always a deck of cards in pocket almost feel like a kid again but been beating my self up cuz I can't seem to get the palming to look natural but at end of video hearing your last thoughts that it takes time maybe now I can just chill lol your the best Jay
Now this is a good one. Flashed a lil' at 0:51, tho I was looking for it, and the chosen production at the end just fits perfectly. Really one of my favourites on your channel (because cards), simple as it is I can't deny one bit of its beauty. And that bloody intro...
I used to do something similar in high school! I don't remember what brand it was but I bought some cards at the dollar store that had a portion of a face of a card as the back design. I'd have to start by forcing the selection. Then I would fairly put away all the cards (except an extra card I cut to look like the rest of the card on the back). Next I pushed the gimmick card out of palm the way you did, (except I would reveal it face up and I'd have to be careful not to flash the cut corner. Then after the reveal settled in I would pretend to have difficulty getting the card off the deck, pretend to peel it off, and then give it away in frustration that it didn't come off all the way.
Wonderful, Jay. Great variation of the old method where the deck has to be tossed in the air for the selected card revelation. This method provides a more visual revelation the is eye popping baffling. Watching your work causes me to think in terms of creating magical effects.
This is a truly amazing trick. I wanted to leave a comment before seeing the reveal. On first viewing, even knowing what I've learned on this channel, the appearance of the card on the top of the deck is really stunning. You are an amazing magician, Jay. Another superb video from the master. If you choose me in the contest, I've love to get the CONTAINED trick. You don't use many gimmicks in your videos, so I'm intrigued to see how your own gimmick tricks work.
You teach like a professor. Oh and just so you know I've been doing pretty good with the deck in balloon trick. Yes palming was hard at first. But I started just walking around or while I watch TV to just a card in palm and hold it there. And move my hand around to figure out angles. Thanks for all you tutorials. Peace
Jay I am a long time fan watched just about every video and I wanted to say thanks and do you have any tips on performing. Also the trick I would like is devils tail because I want to expand past cards and coins.
just subscribed and I love the video's. When i get this trick down it's going to be my favorite card trick! Thank you so much for teaching it in so much detail!

My hands are pretty smAll.. I use bridge size cards mainly for palming.. So this trick is nice..💪💪👍👍

Amazing! This trick can be Added at the final of the ambitous card routine!
Hi Jay.. I've been practicing magic for over 10 yrs now and I have to say your tutorials are awesome and so clear and direct.. your my favourite teacher out there in the world of magic.
This is literally the best effect I've ever seen! I love that it is so simple and then BOOM!
Brilliant trick, thank you so much. I am new to magic at 71 yrs of age but with you help I am getting better and better.Kelvin
Absolutely brilliant!!! "Which I'm crap at!" LMFAO
Jay, just started to watch your channel Im now retired and looking for magic tricks for my grandson with the hope of encouraging him to learn something so he can impress his friends with at parties etc, thanks for sharing love the palm switch!
Great trick. Really like how you explain everything, you made it easier to understand how to do it.
"which I'm crap at..." I love your honesty. I'm crap at that move too... Just can't trust myself to only pinky one card, so I do the thumb move as well. Keep being awesome... and honest!

This trick was explained very well and I'm sure with a lot of practice anyone can accomplish this with his instructions....
Besttest Teacher of Magic on this Universe😊😊😊

You rock! All the detail and all those notions that go beyond the simple explanation of the trick, and the power to bring them to the video!. Amasing!
My kids and I really enjoy your videos and practicing the tricks on each other
I loved your comment about overcoming physical problems like small hands or skinny fingers. I have been trying to learn coin magic, and I still can't imagine palming a card as effortlessly as you do. Right now I am trying to improve my coin magic. I love it because people always have coins. They are so familiar and the metal is so solid they take people by surprise.

I love the Channel. My daughter loves me to do a trick and then show her how it happens. I’ve learned a lot of cool tricks from you. Thanks.
Jay, I never get tired of watching your videos. You are my favorite magician of all time man. I wish I could do just one of your tricks. Maybe someday I'll get the confidence to learn one.
Good stuff Jay. TY.
The smoothness the way he slides that card is bananas even after i rewatched it over ans over 🙌
Just came across you today on here.. thanks!
And I'm just starting at age 40 to try and learn the mist I can because my kids are at that age where it's hard to amuse them ..
And yes! I wish I had bigger hands .. never realized how big cards were until you try and hide one.
Thanks again.. I hope to learn a lot from you.
Really good idea. I love your ideas sir especially from beyond magic. It really helped me connect with the few people I show magic to.
This was a really good trick, maybe the best I saw, no gimick and not too hard slideofhand. Thank you for sharing.
happy thanksgiving Jay! I'm grateful for you teaching us all.
This effect blew me away. I am not a card guy, but this is well worth putting in the time, to be an awesome addition. Thanks Jay!
Awesome effect man. I only started magic about a year ago, and work every day on different slights, florishes, presentations, ect. I do door to door sales and I use card magic in my presentations. I'm excited to start practicing this routine for my clients.
Excellent trick, energy and explanation
Bullet Proof , Jay this -in my humble opinion is one of the best tricks you have and I want to learn them so that someday I can be as professional as you are.
I haven’t been so excited about a trick. Can not wait to work on this.
Put in the time - it feels so RIGHT in the hands!
I love this trick. I'm going to start on it....great!!!
Reason I love magic is SANKEY
First of all, loved this trick. The moment at the end was stunning and it's brilliant how it's not as complex as it looks.

Awesome trick Jay ! Thank You !
