"Lets use dice to make sure I'm not doing a force" - then use dice to do a force.
+Peter Dierauer accurate
+Peter Dierauer Yeah, there's this technique in magic...it's called...uhh...Lying. Yes, that's what you do.
I thought the dice thing was common knowledge.. Kinda makes the trick lackluster. It's a clever reveal for a force, but that's a very lame force
you can replace the force with anything you want as long as you move the card to the correct place in the deck
+Jake Abel don't think it's common knowledge no. I didn't know but as soon he gave intruction to add them together I thought that it was probably becausee it always would be the same :)
+Jake Abel I've known this about dice since the first time I saw dice. Because I figured it out in about 10 minutes when I was in elementary school.
+Jeppe Widriksen i think at least half of all ppl in the world who have ever used dice know the 7 trick
+Etothetaui yup, most of us did haha
Did you ever think about doing this trick with the Arcana decks? You could change your prediction to a black card, and put on black Omega card in the white Alpha deck.
+Nathan Benson I totally would have, but we recorded this before I had them in hand.
as someone who lives in texas... this is the first time i have heard of the texas tap, or seen it. so... that is all i know
HEY Scam School You Should See This "Unexpected Shapes (Part 1)" on Numberphile There is a really cool trick at the end
14.... The addition will be 14 always
Brian I love the channel and I always will. You have taught me how to legally obtain drinks*wink wink*.
haven't seen the whole video yet...I m still at the beginning... but getting names while mixing the cards already seems suspicious !
My monitor is broke 😣
+Champy That's understandable. Ever since smartphones arrived, it's been difficult for monitors to find good paying jobs.
I'm the 1,000 viewer
Thank you for featuring "Dicewave" Brian! It truly was meant to be a color changing deck routine that was completely self working. You can always substitute your own force if you do not like the dice force, however it becomes more difficult to hide the odd backed cards as well as control the selection. I have found using the dice to be the simplest method so far.
What do you guys think? Which method of forcing a card would you prefer in this situation? I will be releasing a version 2.0 of this effect, and anyone who is interested in helping to contribute and make it better is completely welcome to comment!
Again, thank you so much Brian for having me on your channel!!!
-Mike
+OBrienMagic I personally like the dice force, and I think netizens are assuming that more people would recognize the force then actually would. An alternative I'd probably use, if I was short on dice or suspect the force will fail, would be the 37 Force. Dice is a guarantee, but the 37 force is much more nefarious and feels miles more honest.
+OBrienMagic Fantastic work, Mike... what a great routine!
+Scam School thank you again guys! Brian and the Scam School/Testube team!
+Matt Kenyon I am unfamiliar with that force. Can you explain it? Or link a video? Thank you for the advice Matt!
+OBrienMagic easily explained, and a common mentalism trick. Think of a two digit number, between one and 52, that uses two different odd numbers. A disproportionate and scientifically tested amount of the time it is 37. Its basically a number version of the classic force, really powerful when it works but not a sure bet.
The color changing deck is a nice subtle effect, but this dice force is one of the weaker ones you've shown on this channel. I'm not terribly good at figuring out tricks, and I didn't even know for a fact that the dice would add to 7, but as soon as he gave the instructions I knew what was up. If I had the dice in my hand I would have instantly checked and verified that every combination equals 7. Now, if I can instantly figure it out, it's safe to assume that there is someone in the room who is as smart/smarter than me. I guess this might work on drunk people/little kids, but if that's a contingency for success, I'll pass on this one.
+Joseph Birch I think you're over-estimating your crowd. If someone in your group wants to sit and analyze your trick (since "real" magic obviously doesn't exist) then as he said in the beginning, do another trick or walk away. Some people can't handle someone else having the spotlight or they feel like they're being made a fool of so they feel the need to ruin the trick. This is NOT the type of people to do the trick for. Most people, even if they get it will play along for the fun and the show. The banter and the "red-faced" bit is fun as well.
+Joseph Birch As a math student I facepalmed at the adding of two dice thing...
+Joseph Birch Have not had a problem performing this for anyone. If you make a great presentation the force itself will fall out of their mind completely. You are welcome to use the force of your choice, but keep in mind, this is meant to be a "Self-working effect" meaning you can learn this without needing sleight of hand. If you want to perform a more professional looking CCDR, there are plenty others you may find more useful. I appreciate your feedback and thank you for your comment! Just keep in mind, its really easy to analyse a video on the internet, but in live performance, if the audience is having fun, they won't need or want to analyze anything. It all depends on your presentation!
+RanEncounter less people are aware of this then you think. in fact, very few people ever handled dice in their life believe it or not...
+OBrienMagic you are probably right.
Another trick added to my wizardry locker, thanks Brian
Texas Tap well we do it in SC from what I gather it is a away to toast the Bar, Bartender, or both. Also heard it was away to kill the foam from the clink of your beer so that you could chug/swill you beer with less of a problem. It issome rules that you must tap your drink on the table for the judge of a drinking contest to know when you started and also tap when finished. Toast to all my drinking buddies where ever you are.
"texas tap" well i dont know about the american origin, but we do have a simular thing in bavaria. after touching of glasses you have to tap ones on the table before drinking. the one who doesnt tap his beer has to play the next round. but it's only with maß jugs.
Nice presentation, but everybody should know that the numbers on a die are distributed so the opposites add up to 7.
Who in their childhood has never looked at dice?
That's so cool and easy! Can't wait to perform that trick to all of my friends! Thanks Brian! Cheers!
I always like doing that "magician in trouble"-effect once in a routine, especially near the end. If I switch decks during the routine I could implement it. I'll give it a few tries :) like the effect, thanks for the upload!
I can't do this with my friends, we're mostly gamers and are far too aware of how dice work. Still like the deck reveal though.
+Terry Wood NBD. Just use another force, then.
+Scam School That's actually pretty clever. The number 14 isn't necessary to make it work, technically, all you have to do is put the card somewhere in the deck and have them find it, right?
It's finding the right strategy to force the card with the face up deck, any recommendations?
Title made me think Brian was going to screw up the trick
Same
+Roxas13XIII If you watch till the end, you see that he did actually screw it up first
+Colaman112 I did watch the whole thing...
Roxas13XIII Then you saw the blooper where the card they chose wasn't red backed: Brian screwd up
+Colaman112 I meant the initial trick, not when he's explaining it
we also do the "texas tap" in germany but i didn't know where it came from ^^
People used to wipe the bottom of glasses in the table cloth to prevent it from dripping on your lap.
I guess you could say they were... Red harings
+forrest gump YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
+forrest gump Stick to your bench and war stories.
kelpogaming i *herrings
*high fives screen* *watches as monitor falls to the floor*.........Dammit
Because of the title, I was kinda hoping they would mess up the trick when they performed it
Answer for the tap on the table:
The cheers and clinking of glasses together is well documented as having come from medieval times and the sign of trust that your drinking partner didn't slip you deadly poison. But what about the tapping of the glass after the cheers? The reasons for this are simple...
Firstly beer, wine, and liquor, i.e. distilled spirits, were safer to drink in "olden times" than water for purity reasons. We also know that the common man, soldiers and knights, and other lower nobility drank beer because wine and liquor were expensive. Also, back then, drinking was some of the only entertainment to be had and so games and thus traditions that have been carried on to even today, were started by people who drank beer.
So what is the fundamental, and provable, point of the "tap"?
1. After you "clink" your mugs/glasses/pints/etc you cause the head, or the foam, to rise. Tapping it on the bottom causes the head to fall so that you can chug/swill the beer with less of a problem, especially in a drinking contest setting.
2. If you are in a drinking contest the sound of your cup hitting the table, before you drink, and not when you start drinking is usually what the "judges" go by, as to when you started. That is also why the cup is slammed down afterward, to signify the end of your drinking "round".
Where did this tradition come from? Well probably sometime early on when beer became extremely popular as a drink for the masses. Sometimes these obscure traditions and games grew slowly over time and were altered from generation to generation and spread around until we have what we have today. It's like asking about the invention of the game of "Quarters"... but we'll get to that some other time, it is Scam School after all!
+Ethan Harter Nice one!
+Tyrope Games Thanks, wasn't to hard to find. All I know is nothing came up for Texas Tap. haha
+Ethan Harter we are doing the same thing in Germany just. But we are knocking with our hands and not tapping with the glass. When it first started there where fly traps on the tables. In there the flys hung at the top under them was a liquid and if they fell in it they died, and they stayed at the top. If you then tap the table the flies fell down into the liquid and died so it was a friendly gesture to tap the table. Nowadays it is just used as way of greeting in germany at a bar if you dont know all the names of the people at the table or dont want greet everyone indivdually.
+Kai Ditt That's really odd. I don't want to think about killing flies while drinking beer...
Nathan F Im also not a big fan of killing flies or anything.
Spider House: Where people walk backwards.
If you know the 7 thing, it kinda kills the trick dead on arrival, though.
+Thomas Giles Parts of it. But there's more to the trick than guessing the card.
Horrible force. It's suspicious and seems contrived.
+Colin Green th-cam.com/video/pWdd6_ZxX8c/w-d-xo.html
+Scam School haha xD this is great
first trick on the channel that I figured out before the explanation.
Same
Same

+Jay A Unless you knew he was going to change the color of the deck you didn't fully figure it out. That's part of the trick. Many of us on here are interested in magic so we know that dice add up to 7. I honestly had no clue he was going to go a step further and change the card color, which is part of the overall trick. Even if you guessed part of it the "red-faced" bit is fun and will get people laughing and entertained, which is the reason to do magic tricks.
I knew something fishy was going on when Brian "forgot" the jokers and left them in the deck. He probably never forgets to get the jokers out
+ilijastefanov :-P
Cool trick, but Id consider the 14th card being red so that the NAGICIAN (You) are right and as Mr. Brian might say then righter. I worked with at risk minors and adults. They have difficulty comprehending the joke of being wrong then being right. You'd lose half of them the second the Prediction said Red and you show a black. So Prediction must say red...ok standard stuff ..then the kicker of uniquely RED. Caught Red Handed.
I know the first part; the total of a dice roll and the total on it's opposite side will always be 7, and with two dice the total will be 14. The second part fooled the pants off me. Which is not as rude as you may think.
I high fived my monitor like Brian told me to.
Nice
All about the texas tap that I could finde was that there seems to be an organisation that has to do with craft beer and they call themselfs "Texas on Tap" and they make differnt typs of events, but I don´t know if they are responsible for the "Texas Tap" I was looking for :/
"To a number that none of us could have predicted" Well... i know that on a regular 6 sided dice the opposite site numbers add up to seven. And since (A+B)+(C+D) is no different from (A+C) + (B+D) the number is 7+7 = 14 no matter what they rolled. So I assume you just controlled the predicted card to the 14th spot
There are a few different theories about why people in Texas tap their glasses on the table before taking a drink of beer.
* **To settle the foam.** This is the most common explanation. When beer is poured, it can form a lot of foam on top. Tapping the glass on the table helps to break up the foam and make it easier to drink.
* **To remove sediment.** Sometimes, beer can have sediment in it. Tapping the glass on the table can help to dislodge the sediment and keep it from getting into your mouth.
* **As a sign of respect to the bartender.** This is less common, but some people believe that tapping the glass on the table is a way of showing appreciation to the bartender for serving them.
* **As a way to ward off evil spirits.** This is an old superstition that is said to have originated in Ireland. The belief is that tapping the glass on the table scares away any evil spirits that might be lurking in the beer.
Ultimately, the reason why people in Texas tap their glasses on the table before taking a drink of beer is up to individual interpretation. There is no single, definitive answer.
Here are some other possible reasons:
* To get everyone's attention before taking a shot.
* To show that you're ready to drink.
* To add a little bit of drama to the moment.
* To simply follow the crowd.
Whatever the reason, tapping your glass on the table before taking a drink is a common practice in Texas and other parts of the world. It's a way of bonding with fellow drinkers and celebrating the moment.
Brian, im a person who performs magic ocassionally. And I have performed this trick in the past. The question I am going to ask has never actually happened to me. But after watching you perform this I have realized something. What happens if the person you a performing this for asks. "Why are the jokers red" What's a good reply. Like I said this has never been asked to me before but I feel like it may eventually happen.
Brian I want to go back to the How many HEADS on a dollar bill bet. You have told us there are Fourteen. But there are at least SIXTEEN. Can you find them??
I never knew it was called the Texas Tap, but I'm from Fort Worth and I've been doing it at least 10 years, I'll ask my parents if they know
Wow I'm early
I haven't seen he solution yet but know where the force came in without seeing this trick done before or knowing of it before
first he did some false shuffling on all regular dice the opposite sides add up to the number 7 so 2+5 are opposites and 3+4 are opposite I have known the thing about dice for like 10 years when i was still in primary school (I live in the UK)
I saw mismag882 do a similar trick but with a double sided back card that were different colours. Similar effect, very cool trick both of them
Brian if you wanted to do something really cool then listen to me right now because I think this would be a cool thing to do!
If you do a card related episode you should give the people a free arcana deck to promote it!
Just giving you an idea!!!
Sincerely,
Rhett Lowderman
I don't know about Texas, but where I come from you have to pay the next round, if you don't tap your glass before the first sip.
The "Texas Tap" has a few theories.
The first is that a 5th century peasant named Aldwyn was the first person to just randomly tap their drink on the table, and it somehow became a tradition.
The Irish thought alcohol had harmful spirits that were only dispelled by tapping the glass on the table.
Some people say it's a mark of respect to the bartender.
Others say you cheers to the future, and tap to acknowledge the past (my personal favorite theory).
A more scientific theory is that it helps settle the foam that makes drinking contests easier.
The final theory is that it is a silent tribute to absent friends and comrades.
Hey Brian, can you do a Casino special?
+th3thin9 great suggestion!
Remember Brian, its one die, multiple dice. I'm telling you this not to be a grammar nazi but because I know one day you will make a horrible joke with this knowledge and it will make me laugh.
Could someone plz tell me what to buy an xbox1 or a ps4 my favorite games are halo,call of duty,and minecraft.
The scam with the dice was easy to figure out, because everyone who's played with dice knows about their number positions
The "Texas Tap" is a regional thing. Other places do something similar and it represents something else. In Alaska, for instance, the initial cheers is toasting the future, tapping the table is toasting the past, and the last cheers is for the people you're with. Honestly it's an industry thing
To the tap: there are to theories,
1: It's done to make the foam shrink before drinking, after it rose by hitting the glasses together.
2: It was first done for drinking competitions, as the judges knew when to start taking time: when your glass made bang on the table.
From what I know about the tap (never heard it called the Texas tap) I'm from Canada and ive always done it from the time I've started drinking because I cheers for the people around me and tap the table for all the dead people buried in the ground (be it friends family whoever) then I drink that and the small amount of fluid lost if the shot or beer is really full doesn't spill on me
Brian what other force could I use without revealing the cards? I noticed that I could also use false cuts if they are facing up, and even false shuffles. But it looks suspicious to have em face side up the whole time. Any suggestions?
According to reddit, after clinking cups the head of the beer would rise and tapping the table would cause the head to lower back down.
I live in Ca and I was taught that you toast the people you're with and the place you are at. I've never heard it called the "Texas Tap" before, but we do it as a sign of respect or thanks to the home or establishment we are drinking in.
Her reaction at 4:08 is priceless
At 1:49, I thought he did something while he asked for the audience's names and was pretty sure that had something to do with the trick (kind of?). So close yet so far.
The tapping of the glasses on the table originated as an Irish tradition. All liquors are considered spirits and those spirits are believed to have adverse effects on a persons personality while drinking, so, the tap was a superstitious way of relieving the alcohol of those spirits for a more successful night of drinking.
the Texas tap is to get all the bubbles off the side of your glass so they don't pop and squirt in your face. it's called the Texas tap because drinking is big in texas.
I live in Colorado and the Texas tap isn't called the Texas tap here obviously, but everyone I know does it and it signifies toasting to the people that can't be there to toast.
"Texas Tap" US military do it to honor friend's who have fallen or for fallen comrades
I hive fived my computer so hard that now I'm on my phone! Thanks Brian ==
In Romania when somebody taps the glass on the table it usually means they remember the dead and they cheer with them. It's like a sign in the honor of those who had passed away. ... there's a lot of drinking here in Romania too :D
You know when you put cold beverages in a glass and the outside gets wet? Well gravity pulls that to the bottom of the glass and when you take a sip some of that forms a drop that falls off and usually on you. The tap was originally used on a paper towel to take that away and keep your clothes clean and dry at a fancy dinner.
As far as i can tell Texas tap is after cheers-ing cheers is to enjoy the future tap is to the past making you are who you are and everything you've done in life to get to that moment in time enjoying a drink with friends etc.
There is also another trick named revolver it's another card colour changing trick
the "Texas Tap" is done to make the foam or "head" of the beer fall to chug it more smoothly especially in a contest.
Search for "reddit cheers-ing" and you'll get people weighing in on the tap/
hahaha corn
sweetsauce
mismag does something kinda like this on his channel
i like the idea of this trick, but it seems like its a very easy trick to mess up not because of something you did but the other person could easily miss count a card.
My wife has done the "Texas Tap" since I met her, and she was raised in Virginia...
i almost think he screw this want up. but cool trick brian
And for a more factual reason why people tap the glass is when you cheers other glasses the head rises and the tap makes it fall a little bit
wtf is the texas tap....theres nothing on the internet about it and its driving me mad already
hey Brian are in or soon to be having a magic show plz let me know😁😁😁🎩✨
Why does Brian look like Phineas from Phineas and Ferb?
my monitor is drilled into the table! mwahaha!
I realised something was off when both jokers were on the top
i used to do the "texas tap" in new jersey and the people ive met in texas dont
You do this tap because if this drink is poisend , it will spill to others too
foolish magician! the jokers are red too! ___________D:
How do all of these people not know opposite sides of a die equal 7?
Thumbs up for the War Games advert :)
Texas tap been in Lubbock since at least 2000
Fuck i broke my monitor high fived it a bot too hard
my moniter broke :/ hahaha now you know how it works out
Lol, jay sankey did a bit of this trick
what if you rolled a dice and get pairs (like 6:6 and the backside 1:1)
+Papuna Lomouri It still works, just slightly more obvious in this case. If it were the case that it came up doubles, I personally would probably modify the trick a bit, but that's just me and how I would play it. Being a card guy has its advantages and sometimes allows you to jazz when weird things happen.
I love your vids Brian!!!
it way great untill i vracked my screen
What I like about this is that there's the added deception coming from adding the two numbers on the dice first. If you're thinking, say, 5+2=7 you might be suspicious, but if you're thinking 5+3 then 8+6 (remember, it's a split task), it's no longer that obvious. For the record though, as soon as I heard "dice", I knew it had to be this trick.
The card at the end of the video though, that was... gold!
+888SpinR I see what you did there.
not sure when he put the red card in the 14th place and how
The "Texas tap" (if that's what you want to call it) is, from my understanding a German military tradition. Which makes sense considering how many German immigrants came to Texas. From what I was told, only the most superior officer at a table or circle could drink. If he tapped after a cheers, it meant that person could also drink at their table. It means that "I consider you a friend and an equal despite the etiquette of rank." At least that's what my grandfather told me.

+pip caveness nice! Good intel.
The 'Texas Tap' is actually an Irish tradition.
According to Irish lore you tap your glass on the table to thank the Leprechauns for all your good luck.
+bkbroiler200 Where did you hear that one? I'm Irish (by which I mean, I'm _from_ Ireland, not Irish-American) and I've never heard of 'thanking the Leprechauns'.
I love scam school! Your so cool Brian!
Why is Brian always at a different bar
at 3:00 in i see the trick here, if you add up the numbers from opposite sides of a 6-sided die (well any good 6-sided die) it will always equal 7. i know this because i did a bit of research before i started making my own dice cause i wanted cooler dice.
anyway what this means is whatever they roll the total will be 14... anyway back to watching the video
this is true for any good dice which has a number of sides that is even. if you add up opposite sides it will equal the number of sides +1. so a 20 sides dice if you add up opposite sides they will equal 21.
there is one common exception, that is the d% which its sides are 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90. so instead opposite sides on that dice add up to 90 as opposed to the expected 11 because 10 sides
also sometimes the d10 will start with 0 and end with 9 as opposed to starting with 1 and ending with 10, so opposite sides on some d10s total up to 9
That was soon simple, fun and easy
