- Brian shows you the most powerful principle in magic! It requires a little DIY work, but once you learn how to make this prop yourself, you can use it for almost any card effect you want. Careful, you'll need a ventilated area, a light touch, and enough table space for all that free beer.

Scam School iii
the light at the start looks weird. something is about it
Brian, you said this many times, but I have to agree with you on this one. This is the Best Card Trick Ever.
Yoooo!!!

Mismag the Best card teatcher ever…
2:34 "You got the black cards in one hand and the whi.. red cards in another" funniest part of the entire video loool
+rohando100 yah, rip Brian
Xarz I heard it too
Laugh out out out loud
Best deck ever. I emphasize the "invisible deck" name. I reach into my pocket and come up with nothing, but tell my participant that it's an invisible deck of cards. I make a big deal out of pulling it out of the box, spreading it out, and asking them to draw a card. Sometimes I'll even say, "Oops, you got two, put one back." Then I have them "look" at it, turn it upside down and put it back when I've got my eyes closed. I don't want to see it after all. =) Then I hand the "deck" to another person and ask them to shuffle it. They always feel like a goof shuffling cards that aren't there, but it's always fun.
Then I put the deck back into my pocket, speak the magic word, and pull the real deck out. When the card they name is the one that's upside down, I always get a free beer. Thanks, Shwood!
Do you use the line " shuffle the cards.", then " better take them out of the book first."?
Josh Richardon - The original, and technically correct name for this deck is the Ultramental deck, and it was created by Joe Berg in 1936. The "Invisible Deck" presentation, which is the presentation you used, was created by J.B. Bobo. That later became what lots of people call this deck.
Some people state Eddie Fields created, or others, created the "invisible deck" presentation, but Bobo was first.
Yep, this is kind of my routine also.
No lie: Korey and Martin came out to one of my first ever full-time magician performances... it was at Jazz on 6th street in Austin, in the late 90's.
I love how every card trick is the best card trick
This couple is definitely the only think keeping me watching this episode after learning the trick!! Definitely bring them back!!
Bar owner: ...
Shwood: Tada!
Bar owner: Get out.
2:33 The black cards in one hand and the whi.. red cards in the other
omll xD
I just think that the important thing in magic is not the trick, it's the skill of the magician doing the trick
I do card tricks randomly at my school. I learn them from people here on TH-cam. Here's a fun fact, out of the millions of hits on each video, I meet maybe one person at school that knows how it is done. Even more fun, they still love the method I use for the tricks. Even when they know how it is done, it doesn't ever ruin anything. Heck, I revealed one trick and then did it again a month later and only two people remembered how it was done. The rest knew maybe a step or something.
Is it just me, or is every trick Brian shows us the Best Trick Ever?
I'm sure the bar loved the fumes!
It doesn't work. I yelled at my cards for hours but it never burst into flames
Re-watching your old episodes and that intro made me think of another of the greatest utility gimmicks of all time, that works for all the things you mentioned. Might be less beginner-friendly than 3/4 of this channel, but probably still worth talking about sometime for the viewer who wants to learn magic below the surface.
I'm referring to step 1 of 13.
Got my Invisible deck last week from Scam Stuff! Thought of a cool implication for it, rather than having them verbally say their card. Have them write it on a napkin/paper writing up "so it can touch the deck" then tap the deck on the paper, and ask "did you hear that?" then go through the deck, to find the one they wrote has been flipped!
Failure Story:
I just made my first attempt to do this trick on my family (I normally practice on them first). I completely botched up my performance, due to a lack of experience performing this trick on a live audience. Thought I had the process down, but I got nervous lost my train of thought. When attempting to establish this was a standard deck, one of my family members got suspicious and asked to view the deck. It would have passed inspection by shear luck since they didn't spread the cards to notice the cards were doubled together, however, one of them noticed the back and front of the deck were face up cards.
Due to the growing suspicion I gave up and ended my "performance" stating I screwed up.
Lessons learned: 1) Rehearse the showmanship part, 2) A duplicate deck should be used to establish credibility that the deck is ordinarily, then switched before the start of this trick, and 3) This trick would work better as a closer to card tricks
+SciGuy glad to hear youre still with us.
From experience: I usually don't mention the fact that a deck is "regular" or "normal" in any way. Even trying to emphasize the fact a gaff deck is "normal" can be quite suspicious. For example, saying, "I have here a completely ordinary deck of cards" is one of the worst ways to start off a trick. Mentioning the fact that you are "using a deck of cards for this effect" will be so much more sufficient, and safer.
+SciGuy Brian Brushwood has a video that mentions how to deal with skeptical magic trick viewers. He said something like, they don't want to appreciate the illusion, instead they want to ruin it and those are not people who you want to perform for. I guess another option, is to say something to get them to commit to not trying to ruin the illusion, such as "would you like to see a magic trick?" and they say yes and you say "okay, well in this magic trick, I am going to use my body language and gestures and careful wording, to get you to tell me something and I will show you that I have already chosen it ahead of time. However, because of this being such a delicate process, you are going to need to only answer my questions directly, without saying anything else because it will cause you to change to a different card." something to where they can't ask you questions and they can't take your cards from you. Also, practicing a skill, can improve your performance, just like the first time you get on a 2 wheel bike, you fall off instead of winning a race. Try using a mirror or recording yourself with a video camera, like a smartphone. Also, practicing your routine on the same person, may be able to help you re-word things and prevent accidents and then they can watch as you try the trick on a new person and maybe even offer help with using the proper words if you stumble or forget.
great videos man
+shalom shalom thanks!
I've had a ton of fun with this trick... thanks for the video!!!
please do more of these. it's to really have learned some cool card tricks like these on Sam school and tons of people would want you to KEEP doing these
that girls reaction was the best ever!!!!!!
yeah, she was pretty great.
that stuff is strong smelling, cant believe they let them spray all that in a bar lol
Brian I love. There I said it. You'll never truely know how much you (and Justin, Andrew,) inspire me
another best card trick added to the collection of best card tricks
why is the video bar different on scam school compared to every other channel
ikr!!
sameeee
18:38 "I know that guy!"
Brian, thanks so much for showing us how you do these tricks...they are awesome conversation starters...and one other thank you is in order. I noticed that in some of the videos, you have some background music playing which is the opening music from the "Dave Allen Show" who was an Irish comedian who had a show back in the 60's-80's. Many of his episodes are on youtube now. Thanks again!!!!
I've been watching this show since the very beginning, and you are awesome brian
"Hi, my name is Brian Brushwood, magician, fire eater, actor, author and father of 2 (?). I'm currently filming this TH-cam episode called Scam School where I teach people to use magic so that they can swindle free drinks out of others. Here's a big tip. Do you mind if we film in that corner over there tonight?...... Do a show for your daughter's sweet 16 in exchange?... Sure.... Great, thanks! We'll be sure to plug in your bar at the beginning of the show...... Oh, by the way, we're gonna be putting an uneven coat of matt finish all over your bar, so if your cleaning rag sticks to the table, you're welcome."
Finally!!!! Finally someone noticed they literally just sprayer matte paint all over a bar/restaurant table in public no big deal lol
Now why are some videos on this channel still using the flash player is the real question. Or is that another magic trick of Brian's lmao.
Excellent host and brilliant trick! Well revealed/taught, thanks Teach! :D
Correct! Excellent exposure by Brian Brushwood
TAKE THAT ATHEISTS!!! lol XD
Wow
The Woman is adorable ^.^
i know quite a few tricks!!!!but by far this is undoubtedly the best one!!!
This is definitely one of my favorite effects to perform!
0:48 Skip Intro, 6:52 Skip Ad, You don't have to thank me. :)
i actually just made €150 with this...
How bro? teach me please
Love this video!, made my own ID with elmer spray adhesive only to make backs slightly tacky, works great!!! First time pulling off a decent trick was thanks to this vid. Very awesome
The invisible deck is now by far my most favourite pack of cards that I have every got it is so easy to handle and do a trick with!!
Pleaaaseee remowe this video,am doing magic tricks and this is one of best card tricks,and now few friends told me they now how its done because of this video,magic should be and stay as a secret
Be original. come up with your own tricks instead of being a copycat
my prediction is theres a fucking x on the back of all the cards. lol cmon I'm baked af and I could tell it right away
+Taylor Pierson well I was mostly correct lmao, now that's magic bitch!
This trick is so cool that I didn't even mind that there's an ad in the middle of it! I actually watched it! I tell ya, you gotta have a really good video before I'll watch the ad, and then actually consider buying something from them. Fortunately, since I can't remember the name of the company, I have to watch the video again, which is seriously cool, since I KNOW I want to see IT again, even though I'm not sure about the ad yet. Oh, well...
Dude this trick is sick!!!!
Heck yeah! Atheists:0 Theists:9999999999999999999999999999999999999991
Andrew Padgett That's very inconsiderate of you, just because you think god exists dose not mean everyone does.I myself am atheist but I don't go hating on any religion.Word of advise think before you comment okay kiddo.
Trippy 420 I agree, but c'mon this is the itnernet
Don't get butthurt
Twas a joke you joke around with friends at bars or anywhere if your with a friend unless its serious business
+Andrew Padgett Yes, a magic trick done with glue cards is the proof. Reminds me of all those other tricks from the bible.
i did this to a girl and told her if i got her card, she'd gimme her number... :D LETS JUST SAY IT WORKED
ronin smart idea lol
dude i have done this before, but your routine is sooooo much better :D
Nicely done!
The couple is quite obnoxious
No HE'S obnoxious and I'll bet she figured that out shortly after watching this episode.
Im sure she dumped him by now. She can do way better than lobster face
Your revealing an amazing trick to anyone that wants to watch this... I think that's disrespectful
Wut? Brian's teaching us how to do the trick...
Edward Barfield I agree with david.. there are professional Magicians that make their money doing tricks like this. Do you have any clue how hard it is for a Magician to have confidence and gain some credit as a magician when someone says " Hey, I can do that! I saw it on scamschool!"?
Phillip Hawks exactly... Plus the fact that half the people that were brought to this video only came to know how magicians do it and they dont even give a shit about magic. thats the problem
On top of that scam school is not a magic youtube channel and is revealing all of this to people who subscribed for others reasons apart from magic
thats my opinion
David Soares He was on Pen and
Teller Fool Us.. they had the respect not to turn around and tell the whole crowd how he did his trick.
Well, my opinion is that it's a great resource for those of us trying to become a professional magician.
I understand where you're coming from. I'm not a fan of people who just want to learn a quick trick with no real interest in magic. Videos really help me, and let's be honest. It's not like Scam School is the first one to show a trick and then explain how to do it
all card tricks to Brian r the best
amazing my bro love your channel
Uhhh...its one thing for the host to be hitting on the guy's girlfriend. But when the guy is hitting on his own girlfriend, trying to out funny the host?? Uhh stahp
I think he feels outperformed lol I mean he is red for the majority of the video and the girl is just like so into it and the boyfriend is like love me lol look i can be crazy but cool too
Damn you're insecure lol
most girls will insult the evens cuz they can't even :P
lol
Red Diamond how odd
Fantastic Exposure. Thanks Brian!!!!
Dude. Love this. Props. Set-up story seems like almost half the fun. ^_^
Come on man don't reveal tricks like this one.This is a classic in card magic.TH-cam has totally killed magic.Tutorials everywhere with classic effects.Mismag's tutorial has over a MILLION views,disturb reality has over 600.000 and you have over 600.000.Imagine how big are now the possibilities for someone WHO is not interested in magic to know this effect.
+Skyladikooo Magic education is definitely changing, and there has to be a set of guidelines. Here's mine: th-cam.com/video/fwQJXgQaHiM/w-d-xo.html&lc=z120ttwgdkyoxvony22advry4r3efbkkr
Would love to hear where we disagree. I'm at Brian@shwood.com.
You know, generally, I love Scam School and have learned a lot from it. But I agree with Skyladikooo on this one. I think that the line has to be drawn somewhere. Revealing an iconic mystery like the ID is not "education." It is the indiscriminate tipping of what has been one the most closely guarded secrets in magic for decades. Brian, you are a magician, and should realize that it is one thing to teach a layman a cool trick they can do for their friends or at the bar, and another to reduce one of the GREATEST ICONIC mysteries we have ever had down to, "Oh look, ha, ha, it's just a trick deck." As a professional, who loves to astonish and entertain my audiences, I am saddened by this...
So what? Are you going to go to literature to figure out new tricks? Literature that literally everyone has access to? When 'Magic Books' became popular, everyone talked shit like you do about youtube. Is Brian trying to expose magicians? Is he trying to kill magic? No. He is trying to spread information for people who want to learn magic and have a passion for it.
I think once you decide to watch videos on this channel or any source that explains magic tricks, you have to be ready to expect to stop being amazed by all magic tricks you see elsewhere since you will probably be able to tell or guess how it's done. That's another level of enjoying magic tricks.
love scam school these videos are awesome, dont let these guy get you down brian if they dont like it they dont have to watch. which means more scams for the real loyal viewers
Thanks for teaching me all of the most epic things i know! ive been a sub for ever!
Epic trick man just love it
Completely BEAUTIFUL
I have had this deck for years. After some time I have to replace the deck. You just saved me a lot of money. I never thought of making this deck. One thing I do is get two extra cards, one odd and one even. I place them at each end of the deck with the tops facing out. I take the deck out of the box and I take the extra card that would be the top out so the spectaters see the top, then turn it over to search for the selected card. I started doing this after flashing the wrong side of the deck.
Boy i love me some Brian Brushwood! From Louisiana!
Card tricks are the best! I always have a few decks (depending on the setup i did before hand) when I go out. :D
Brian . It's amazing.. it's mind blowing. Literally it is fabulous.... can you reveal the david blane ACAAN trick too...plz...
I'm speechless. Best trick ever - as you said.
Thanks for that very cool video.
are you still making episodes? i love the show man!
I've really enjoyed the rest of the serious, buddy. A fun, cool, series dedicated to scamming in a fun cool way. But this... This is just unconscionable. Congratulations. Now you're Valentino.
whether or not a trick is revealed on this channel or someone who specializes in magic, it's still revealed. If anyone were to really want to learn a trick, i'm sure they could very well search for it and find their solution.
even if an audience knows the mechanics of the trick, i would say that the showmanship and presentation of the trick is what keeps it exciting.
There are many tricks revealed that magicians still use. it all depends on how you present it
At school, I use this deck frequently in the last 5 minutes of After School Detention with the kids most anxious to go home and most fidgety during the hour. I have seen time and again this kid be the last to leave and want more, and look forward to another detention time!!!
another one of Brian's favourite trick haha
Brian is a better magician than you'll ever be. He has done a great job exposing this.
He needs to expose more stuff like the chop cup (magnet in the top to hold magnetic ball out of sight) or the double lift where you lift two card as one!
Yes I agree with you, It is the classics of magic.
0:00-0:44 It's funny how the addition of a camera changes the nature of an event. If he wasn't being filmed, it would just be a guy prancing around in the street, loudly exclaiming about magic, mind control and predicting the future.
so far amused a few ppl with pulling money from my phone, and learned about 5 or 6 card tricks I can pull off without much if any slight of hand, I might have to give the invisible deck a try.
scamschool best show everrrrrrrr :DDDD
Invisible deck...THE BEST CARD TRICK IN THE WORLD, I HAVE GOT THE BEST REACTIONS FROM THIS!!!!!
How do I order them to get even more impressed than the last if I watch them in one go? It's so hard to pick the beginning of best although I've seen them, but I'd say this is by far my favorite. I love the way there are so many different ways the invisible deck gets used.
lol i see u used mismag822's advice of using the matte finish!! awesome! you guys rock as a team! i'd really love to see you both in one video! thumbs up and make it happen guys!!
Amazing!
I can't wait to try this on my class second graders. Deceiving children is half the reason I got into this business.
thank you man
Haha, great exposure Brian. Please reveal more top tricks like the chop cup (with a magnet in the top to hold the ball) or the double lift (he lifted two cards as one) the pass (to transpose the two halves of the deck) invisible thread (fine thread you can't see) used to levitate small objects or perform PK , the one ahead principle, black art , false cuts and shuffles, false transfer of one object from one hand to another.
love the trick brian :D
I'm sure we'll have some kind of bundles in the future, but really the SC4 and the KW1 should cover 95 percent of all residential locks
invisible deck is my fav trick. i was really hoping you wouldn't reveal it... but owell. i did like that set up you did though.
This is actually some good magic stuff, it's the first time I see someone teaching how to do an invisible deck, thanks tho.
Awesome pls keep making videos!
Lol 15:50 -16:00 is hilarious "if I can just communicate to you that we are a couple" she says something to interrupt him before shit gets out of hand my gosh the boyfriend looks like he is going to spontaneously combust
Invisible deck is actually a pretty common and well-known trick and if you look it up around youtube you can see that they have already been revealed so it will not make any differences if Ryan revealed this trick.
That is awesome.
Hey Brian, this idea for making an invisible deck is a very smart way to make one and its kinda for free. The sad thing is that I don't have that much card decks but I will buy an invisible deck or make one. I just don't want to use up my only 4 decks of cards and the other 4 I just got them.
But again, very smart idea to do it that way.
Thanks!
this worked great! thank you Brian! I was told I was a true wizard and they refuse to be around me now hahaha. thanks again!
i love this
thanks, man!
what i love to do with an invisible deck is to put a joker on the even side that way when I pull out the deck the volunteer will see the red/blue back first. if it's odd, I turn over the pack which is normal. if it's even, I take off the joker and reveal the evens, then continue on.
Ok, so Brain has revealed the key card technique, i'm sure I've seen a couple of card controls in there and all manner of sleights, and no one raises an eyebrow, BUT he dares to reveal the invisible deck and somehow he's suddenly breaking the magician's code. Yes, it's a professional quality trick, and some people make their living off of it, but the same could be said of half the tricks taught on this show. Even so, it does feel a little wrong, but it is a perfect trick for scamschool.
Her facial expression says she did choose the queen of hearts and she was ashamed of herself 😂
This enthralled and infuriated so many people when I pulled this trick. Great replay too, I pulled it 6 times in a row on a guy (his insistence) and he was blown away even more every single time.
