- The participant selects and
signs the seven of spades.
The seven of spades is lost
inside the deck of cards,
the playing cards are then
handed to Susan to be shuffled.
The magician reaches to his pocket
to retrieve his wallet.
He opens his wallet to reveal
one playing card inside.
That playing card is revealed
to be the very signed seven of spades.
The magician is actually palming
the wallet the whole time
underneath the deck
and pretending to lose
the playing card inside.
He actually inserts it
directly into the wallet.
He pretends to retrieve
the wallet from his pocket
and reveals the seven of spades inside.
I am Daniel Madison,
this is card to wallet.
Can I call you back in 27 minutes?
(laughing) All right, thanks Jesus.
Susan Sausage selects and
signs the seven of spades.
The magician takes the
signed seven of spades
and inserts it into the back
of the deck of playing cards
as soon as the seven of spades
is lost inside the deck,
the deck is instantly
handed to Susan Sausage.
The magician instantly
reaches into his back pocket
to retrieve his wallet, very cleanly
and very fairly with otherwise empty hands
the magicians opens the wallet
to reveal one playing card inside.
Susan is invited to take the wallet,
she removes the playing
card from the wallet
where she discovers her very
own signed seven of spades.
Susan is then invited
to respond accordingly.
(upbeat jazzy music)
(gasping)
I am Daniel Madison and
this is card to wallet.
I am Daniel Madison, welcome back,
thanks for being here, thanks for choosing
to spend some time with me
and Charlie Madison today.
Boy this is a long video,
long video warning what,
I'm not gonna waste too
much time in introduction
because I know that this
one's gonna be a long video.
This is golden, this is golden.
My favourite card to wallet routines,
not just one, not just two,
but three invaluable lessons,
methods, deceptive methods
on how to get a signed
playing card to a wallet.
Instantly, invisibly, impossibly.
Now because this is a long video,
I'm gonna save a few things
for the next video after this.
First of all, 52,000
subscribers, what the swear word,
thanks, thanks, thank you so much.
I do have a special things planned
to celebrate hitting 50
but I don't want to talk
about them in this video
because this video is long enough,
so join me in the next video
and we'll discuss things,
especially what I'm gonna do
when we get to 100,000 subscribers.
I've made plans, I can see it coming,
it's just around the corner,
Charlie are you ready?
So without further ado,
get yourself a deck of playing cards,
you might want a wallet as well,
I'm Daniel Madison and
this is card to wallet.
The most important part
of this trick of course
is the wallet.
Now I'm a very simple person
and very minimal person,
this is the only wallet I own,
the only time I ever use it
is when I'm doing one of the tricks
I'm gonna teach you in this video.
The thing that you saw at the beginning,
the demonstration that I
used kind of comedically
to I guess perform and
showcase a card to wallet idea,
that's the most basic one,
it's the most ballsy one,
but I'm gonna teach you
a few different ones.
Now I only own this
wallet to do tricks with.
I carry my credit cards and my money
and all that just freely in my pocket,
sometimes I'll put them
inside the card trick box
otherwise I don't use a wallet,
it takes up too much room in my pocket,
so I never really need one.
So carrying one around always
feels a bit strange for me,
my wallet is usually empty
even when I'm doing the trick.
Now what I love about this most of all
is it's a real wallet,
it's not a trick wallet.
There are so many trick wallets out there
that allow you to achieve card to wallet
and they're all so very unnecessary,
we don't need them.
All you need is sleight of
hand and a regular wallet.
Now the things that you
need the right wallet
that you need,
this one here is Max and
Unicorn from Brooklyn
and I believe they call
it a bifold wallet.
It's a very simple very simple wallet,
one piece of leather kind of
folded over and glued over
and I picked this very wallet
because it's nice and small
and it's just the right size
for a playing card, just the right size.
I find that a wallet that is too big
it's almost like an
overcompensatory, what's the word?
You know what I mean.
You've seen those magicians
using those massive wallets,
you ever seen that trick
where they reach inside
and they pull a wallet
out that's about this big?
And it's like a trick device.
In fact all the trick wallets I've seen,
they're all way too big,
and ideally you want a wallet
that can be completely
thoroughly inspected,
and trick wallets can't do that
because if people look hard enough,
they will find the secret.
There's no need, you don't
need to use a fake wallet,
you can use a real one.
Now I'm gonna show you
the basic versions first
and then we're gonna get into
the details of the performance
and the sleight of hand,
but as you've seen from the video,
I attempted this a few videos back,
this idea and the only person
that I know to credit for
this is Michael Weber,
I don't know if it's his,
but the idea was, taking
a signed playing card
and pretending to put it
into the back of the deck,
I don't know, can somebody
tell me in the comments
what this idea is called, I don't know,
but I don't like using
it, I never liked using it
'cause it's so silly.
Like why would you put a
playing card in like this?
Why would you prove it's
going into the middle
by making a few stick out of the front,
and especially when you
see magicians doing this.
(card tapping)
What are you doing, stop.
So what you do this a
few time to over prove
and then you put it straight
into a Gambler's Cop
so it looks like that
card's gone in the middle,
straighten up, take the deck away,
meanwhile, you've cupped that
little baby out of the deck
so you can take it to your
pocket take it to wherever.
From this idea I love anything risky
and anything dangerous
with sleight of hand.
It improves you as a performer,
as a magician, of knowing
what you can get away with
and what you can't get away with.
I had this very simple
idea of taking the wallet,
folding it backwards so
that these two pockets,
these two main pockets are
wide open right in your hand.
I palm the wallet in my hand.
I hide it with the deck like so,
I'm holding the wallet
right in front of everybody.
Even when I say pick a card
I've got the wallet in my hand.
You don't need to do
that, we'll get into that.
The wallet is hidden underneath the deck
so you can't see it and it's cupped.
Cupping the wallet.
Take the signed playing card,
hit the back a few times,
you've already seen this
in the introduction,
you hit the back a few times, one two,
and then insert it
straight into the wallet.
Take the deck maybe offer
a riffle or a dribble,
put it down, now you can go
instantly on your way down
when you get to the back,
you're gonna let the
first part of this unfold
so that when you go into your pocket
you're going like this,
and then it's now the right way 'round
so you can pull it out the
right way 'round instantly.
Now when I say instantly, this
is when it looks impossible,
this is when it looks like a miracle,
'cause you don't want to do this,
you don't want to get
the card in the wallet
and then go there,
look, it's in my wallet.
You can't be that fast.
But there is something beautiful
about the idea of going
from here where the card is in the deck,
I put the deck down,
look shuffle the cards,
do what you want with cards,
my hands are still here.
Now watch, and my wallet's in my pocket,
I go back I drop the first
part so it folds open,
I come back straight away like this.
Now it has to be realistic,
you can't just go,
you have to go into your pocket,
you actually have to go into your pocket
so you go in, you come back fingertips.
As soon as you come back like this
you want to put that wallet
down or give it to Susan
because you're clean, you're free,
you're free to get the hell out of there,
as soon as you take it
out, I'm out, tricks done,
tricks over, game over.
So from here once you pull it out,
you really want to focus
on being like this,
on holding it like this.
Don't be like this, look,
nothing in my hands,
look I have nothing in my hands,
you don't want to do that,
you just want to come back like this
and then hand the wallet over.
The more you handle that wallet,
the more you do with the wallet,
the more you're just
saying "I just did a trick,
"I just put it in there, I
just put a card in there."
You wave the white flag
you're saying I'm fooling you.
If you come back like this
then it just looks impossible.
So the trick is done at that point,
the trick is really done.
The card's in there, they can do anything,
and its a real wallet so
when you hand it over,
they're holding a real wallet,
their card really is in there, their card.
So there's nothing to find,
there's nothing to uncover,
there's nothing to
discover, the trick is done.
So that's the most basic version.
We'll go over a few.
This isn't my go-to version,
I won't use this as my go-to,
the go-to version that I do,
that's the golden one.
So the people who are still watching,
the people who are still tuned in,
a lot of people checkout
I think at this point
when they figure out the secret,
but the real gold version
is coming up after this.
I just want to cover a more
bits first about this wallet.
Now I would never, I would
never put the card in here.
It would never go in the
top because that's too easy.
It is way too easy to
achieve, and more importantly,
way too easy for Susan to
figure out, way too easy.
Whereas when a card is
inside a folded wallet,
where there are no other ways in
or out of that compartment of the wallet,
then there's no kind of backtracking,
there's no, oh yeah,
but he could have just slipped
it in his pocket really quick
which you can't do if it's in the top.
I kind of lose respect
and appreciation when I see a magician
with a card just in here.
It's too easy, not too
easy to achieve I guess,
more too easy to figure out
from Susan's point of view.
So with the deck, with the
wallet in this position,
everything's kind of clean
and everything's kind of undiscoverable,
and difficult to work out.
Now you don't have to take
that wallet to your pocket,
here's the real beautiful
thing about this,
because now you see in your hand
you have the freedom to
kind of manipulate it,
put it anywhere you want
and then you've to kind of
base it on the situation
on the performance itself, where you are,
who you're performing
to, what's around you.
The hundreds of times
that I've performed this,
some of the best versions are
where this will appear to be a lost wallet
or somebody else's wallet.
And what I mean by that is,
let's do it from the
ground up, so we're here.
In fact the ground up
means from the ground up.
So I have the playing cards,
freely take any playing card,
they freely take any playing card.
While they're signing it,
the wallet is already ready,
unfolded in position in my back pocket.
While they're signing the
selected playing card,
I simply relax, my hands
go down by my side,
I get the wallet in a cup, I come back,
it's already under the deck,
doesn't really take much explaining
other than a few notes from me to say,
you don't want it to look
like you're doing something,
I've said this in previous
videos, you don't want it
to look like you're
trying to hide something.
If somebody sees you taking
my wallet out of your pocket,
so what?
It's your wallet, they don't
know what's happened yet.
All they know is somebody's
signing a playing card.
No one's gonna see you doing it
because you're a good performer,
you have a good performance,
you have a good crowd management skills,
so no one's gonna see it
because your timing is on point.
They're signing the playing
cards, nothing's happened yet,
nothing to see here because the subject,
the object of deception is in the,
what do you call Susan, is
in the participant's hands.
Nothing to see.
So very relaxed, come down,
get the wallet, come back up,
and we're good to go.
The setup for this doesn't
really need as much explanation
as I'm giving, so I'm
gonna stop right there.
So the card is here, the wallet is here,
the deck's here, the card's been signed,
I take it back, look,
I'm gonna lose your playing
card in the middle of the deck,
as I'm putting this card in the middle,
I am not looking at the deck,
because I don't need to look
at the deck at that point.
If I'm looking at the deck,
I'm forcing everybody around me
to look at the deck too, subconsciously.
If I'm like this, then
everybody's looking at that point.
I want Susan to be looking at me,
'cause this is a non-moment.
It's not really a non-moment,
because it's quite
important matter of fact
because you're losing the card
in the middle of the deck,
that being said, it's not a big moment,
it's not a massive moment,
losing the card in the deck
because nothing's happened yet.
And I'm not saying what's gonna happen,
I'm not giving anything up,
I'm not giving anybody a reason
to want to eyeball this deck.
So if I'm eyeballing this
deck, so is everybody else.
So I take the card,
"Look I'm gonna lose your card
in the middle of the deck."
And what's gonna happen is,
so my body language is
away from the playing cards
and this allows me to do a few things.
It allows me to force people
to look away from the deck,
and it allows me to look
like it's not important
what's happening here.
Because from their point of view,
it shouldn't be important.
All I'm doing is losing the
playing card in the deck.
So my head up, my body language like this,
there's nothing happening,
because if there was something happening,
I'd be on it.
I'd be in that on it
mode, I'd be all right,
I'm gonna fool you now,
watch carefully now,
I'm gonna fool you.
There's nothing happening.
So I'm here, I'm forcing
everybody to look up
and if they don't look up
then you take your time
and also you want to get
all of your tricks, all of your devilry
and sleight of hand to a point
where people can be eyeballing it.
You don't wanna get out of jail,
you don't want to be
only able to do tricks
and deceptions when people aren't looking,
you don't want to be at that point.
So it shouldn't worry you either way,
but me looking up and me
having this body language,
the second thing it does, I know exactly
where everybody's looking.
I can see where you're looking,
I can see if they're looking here
or if they're looking here.
I want them to look here, obviously,
'cause I don't want them
to see what I'm doing.
And this is something
that you can only pick up
from hundreds and
hundreds of performances,
so you can't judge it
before you've done it.
You can't respond to a threat,
you can only respond to what's happening.
So in the situation you just
have to judge it for yourself.
I mean there'll be so many
times where you can just,
you can literally just, I
hate the word literally,
you can actually just do this.
Look, I'm gonna lose your
card in that deck okay,
you could get away with it, (laughing)
but you have to, it's very situational,
you have to be there.
So I'm doing this, I put it in the middle,
I'm gonna put your card in the middle,
and in the moment where
I put it into the wallet,
I do want to tilt up a little bit,
because there's this big
black thing hanging out right,
so I want to tilt it up a little bit
this way this forces
this changes the perception
of what's going on in it,
and it also changes or
deceives the depth perception,
because for me to put this card
straight into the back of the wallet
I have to come back an
unnatural to an unnatural point.
The natural point is obviously here
'cause it goes in the deck.
It's very unnatural for me
to have to come back this far
to put the card in the middle of the deck,
so if I tilt a deck like this to you
then you can't really tell
how far back it's going,
and also this also happens
in such a quick moment,
and again, no rushing, I don't
need to rush, no rushing.
I am actually rushing.
Where was I?
I stood on the light, I burnt my foot
and now I'm talking about a rushing mind,
I don't know.
So the perception, and
it's only for a moment,
you don't want to goose neck
'cause then you're gonna show this.
Goose neck is that, neck tie?
I can't remember I'm
losing my sense of life.
So at this point the card goes in the back
and here, once it's in the middle,
once I'm confident that
it's gone into the wallet,
and they think it's in the middle.
I want to convince them a little bit more
that it's in the middle so
I simply dribble the cards.
This does a few things.
It makes it look like
I've got no control over the
playing cards whatsoever,
just from dribbling, what?
Yeah in fact it does
it, if you just do this
it looks like you couldn't
possibly have control
from a participant, from
an audience point of view
it looks like this is
chaos now to an audience
which is strange, but it's
useful information for you.
So I do this, this also makes it look like
there's nothing else in my hand
other than the deck of playing cards.
Not that I need to convince people
that I've just got a deck
of playing cards in my hand
because obviously,
I've just got a deck of
playing cards in my hand.
What kind of crazy person
would be holding a wallet
underneath a deck of playing cards.
So as soon as I've dribbled,
I want to look back up for a moment,
I want to separate my hands,
I want it to look like
there's not much control over this hand
so everything's really relaxed,
separate for a moment,
take the playing cards,
hold onto the playing cards,
and in that moment
where you hand them over
is a very natural moment.
Now for people who are
used to the Gambler's Cop,
you don't do this.
There's no rushing, you want
to leave this hand there
not as long as possible,
but you want to leave it there.
You want to practise
that uncomfortabilty of holding
something down in your hand
right in front of people
without them knowing,
then while you practise that
the more natural it becomes
and the more you kinda
wanna be in those situations
to master, you have to become an expert
at these kind of deceptive ideas.
So from here I'm gonna take the deck
and say, "Listen, I want you
to take the playing cards
"and give them a shuffle."
So I take the deck, and
it goes from here to here,
it's a very fluid motion,
very fluid behaviour.
The body language is kind of careless,
I just want the playing card
to be shuffled into the deck
so please take the cards and shuffle them.
They take the cards, if
I put them on a table,
this allows me to do
something else as well.
Put the playing cards down,
I am now deciding how far
away people are gonna look
from the dummy hand because
if I go from here to here,
then this area is about this big.
If I stand back and I
go from here to here,
the area is now this big,
so the distance between the deck
and the deception is greater which means
there's less chance of
people looking over here
and seeing this.
That being said, the reason
I want to put it down,
the reason I like putting it down
rather than in somebody's hand
is I can do this, I put it down,
now with both hands I point.
With dirty hand I can point convincingly
and hide that wallet.
I know I can do it just from practising ,
just from practise this in the mirror
practise it on people
who it's not gonna matter
if you mess up.
And that includes real
world people you don't know.
The amount of times I've messed up
and failed that I'm thankful for,
thankful for, grateful for,
which you should be too.
Don't be afraid of failing,
you learn more about a chess player
when you purposefully fail the game.
I said that wrong, but
meant the same thing.
So from here to here, I've got
all the time in the world now
especially when they're shuffling
because back to the beginning,
the point I made at the beginning,
they're focused on this.
Their signed card is in here,
they have hold of everything
and I'm free.
I can say even with the wallet in my hand
I can say, "Listen I have
a wallet in my pocket,
I'm gonna get it."
They're not gonna look at my hands
and go "Hold on, show me your hands."
They're not gonna do that
because you've just been handling
the deck of playing cards
for Christ's sake, and no
one's gonna look at your hands.
Why would you be holding a wallet,
how could you be holding a wallet?
So I like to say that first,
like to point at the deck,
shuffle the cards for me.
"Look, I have a wallet in my pocket."
Now I can do a clean up,
come back with the wallet,
fingertips, look, you
shuffled the playing card
into the deck, the wallet
straight from my pocket,
open it up I'm not gonna
touch anything, trick done.
Now with all that being said,
and everything's that gone on,
I want to move on to the
golden card to pocket,
my personal favourite, but
not only for the technique
but for the performance of it,
but for the execution of how you deliver
and how you completely mess
with somebody's perception of time
and creating this impossible moment
where a card goes instantly
from one place to a wallet.
In fact before I get to that,
I missed a point.
I don't need to reveal this in my pocket,
this is the point that I was getting to.
The times that I've done this,
once the card is in the wallet
and it's in my hand,
I don't need to go to my pocket.
Some of the best moments ever
have been once it's in
there, once I'm free
and I've given the deck up,
I will put this in somebody else's pocket,
or a lot of times,
I will fling this wallet across the room,
under the table, that way
this way, somewhere else,
I will fling it, obviously
they can't see it,
they can't see that happen,
so you do it with good timing.
I think I've told the story before
where I got somebody's phone
and I was working a gig
and I did this little move
where the phone shoots up your sleeve
so I make it vanish
and it missed my sleeve
and it shot across the room
and I heard it bouncing on the floor,
these guys didn't hear it,
and I'm like oh no, and I look behind
and it's all the way over under the table,
so I thought, it's gone,
and they were like "Wow, where is it?"
And I'm like, "Your phone reappears
"all the way across the
room under the table."
And they were completely amazed,
and he picks it up and he
goes, "Whoa, he even managed
"to turn it off."
And then he looks closer and he's like,
"And he managed to scratch
it a little bit too."
But the magic of it took away from,
I mean distracted from
damage and the real method.
They were so amazed that that happened.
The wallet if they're looking up,
if they're in the right direction
and the timing's right, you have a gap
you have an opening,
I will fling that wallet across the room
and the moment that it lands,
(coughing)
(laughing)
I'm joking don't do that.
The moment it lands, it
depends on your environment
but when it lands you can say look,
has somebody dropped a wallet,
has somebody lost a wallet?
Is there ID in there,
you know all this jazz
and then they open it and find the card.
It's a real miracle it really is.
I'm talking too much.
We're gonna get to the golden method so,
let's change the camera angle,
so we don't need the deck for this,
all I need is the seven of spades,
I'm also gonna need a wallet.
I don't want to use anybody else's wallet
I'll just use my own wallet.
So I'm gonna take the signed seven,
how do I get the signed seven
of spades into the wallet
without you seeing?
How do I do it?
It's actually a trick question,
the trick has already been done.
The seven is no longer there,
you invite Susan to open up the wallet,
she does, she finds the
very signed seven of spades,
now I'm at a bad angle on purpose,
I want you to see everything,
this is one of a few variations
that I love to achieve
and of course I'm holding
two playing cards,
seven of spades with the card behind it.
So I say, "Look, seven of spades,
"we're gonna use this seven of spades",
I cup it away, this is the ace,
"And a wallet."
I go back to get my wallet,
as I go back to get it, I load
the seven of spades inside.
Now I'm gonna move the table
hopefully you can see exactly
what this looks like.
So the seven goes into my,
sorry the wallet goes
into my pocket like so,
opened turned inside out,
one of those sides goes in
so I've got a whole wallet hanging out,
now notice this acts as a huge pocket
the wallet itself acts as a pocket.
Jesus, that's how I'm set
up from the beginning.
So seven ace,
seven and ace,
so look we're gonna
use the seven of spades
and I'm gonna use my wallet,
now this is how I load it,
hopefully you can see this on the film,
this is how I load it,
I have the seven here,
I come back, I simply
rush it into the wallet,
it's hard to show on film,
into the open wallet,
as messily as I can.
I then pull it straight
up, fold, bring it 'round.
It's a very very messy process,
there's no gracious,
there's no grace about this,
it's just ram it in there
as quickly as you can.
Now this does, that's what she said.
This does take a lot of time,
a lot of practise to get right
and the amount of times
I've messed this up
or taken too long because the
card goes in the wrong place
and you mess up.
I've got a point where I
go from a Gambler's Cop
to 'round here to just
holding it basically like this
and feeding it in, feeling with my fingers
and as soon as it's in I pull this out
and it's a very rushed process
but from the front when
you see me from the front,
it just looks like I'm
going into my pocket
to get my wallet out.
Now just imagine this, in fact
practise this along with me.
So the wallet is in
your pocket hanging out,
the wallet is prepared.
Two playing cards, now your timing in this
is vital, you need to be
on point with your timing.
So seven ace, "Look we're
gonna use this seven of spades,
"and I'm gonna use my wallet too,
"I don't want to use
anybody else's wallet."
That took way too long, it
felt like it took way too long
and I was stumbling with my words.
Usually goes faster than that,
that's why it's gonna take
so much so much practise
and also looking at the monitor,
I don't wanna excuse this,
but still in that time, even though I took
what felt for me like too long,
that playing card's still here,
I'm still within a good timeframe
for this to be believed
to be their playing card
from here, I'm already clean
I'm good, the seven's here
they believe it's here.
So it's one of those
beautiful moments where
it looks like people are still waiting
for something to happen,
they're waiting for the moment,
they're waiting to catch
you out at this point.
They don't you that you're
already one step ahead,
you're already clean, you're already done.
So at this point you can do
one of so many different things
with this playing card.
There's a thing that I
really like to do a lot
where you palm the card
or you pick it up in your hand like this
and then you can make it vanish,
so you can make it vanish
over the top of the wallet,
it's just that Gambler's Cop idea.
The idea of just saying
how do I get this seven
into the wallet without you seeing,
well I already fooled
you, this isn't the seven.
And that the most basic minimal version
is probably the best.
Or you could put the
seven on top of the deck,
you do all kind of things.
What do you call that thing,
what do you call this where you do this?
Ten vanish I think?
It's up to you, there's
so many different ideas.
The fact is you're clean
right from the start.
So being very conscious of time,
we're gonna change that
angle one more time
and I'm gonna show you something augh,
something I've been desperate
to show people for so long.
All right if anybody knows repocket,
a very similar idea with the wallet,
which I got out.
I feel like kind of
apologising a little bit
for my reluctance to maybe teach
the golden version of this,
I know Charlie, in such great detail,
I'm so protective over this idea,
card to wallet idea
that I think that's why
I skipped the teaching of it slightly,
and I feel bad about that.
So giving up the repocket idea I think
hopefully kind of compensates
in some way, let me get,
here in focus, hopefully
you're gonna love this idea.
The wallet,
you wanna have a random playing card
already in place in the wallet.
Now, reverse engineer
this and imagine the way
that you're gonna palm
that seven of spades
to the wallet and how you're
gonna feed it into the wallet.
So start with the wallet in your pocket,
the seven's here, it's gonna be cupped,
you're gonna go into your pocket like so.
This one is difficult but,
the stranger card is gonna help you.
So you're gonna put the
stranger card inside like this,
in the feeding pocket like this.
For me I'm gonna use the ace of hearts,
so this is gonna be on the outside.
So I feed one half of the
wallet into my pocket,
the ace of hearts is on my outside.
This is gonna help you dramatically,
drastically when you're
feeding signed playing card
into the wallet.
So do the whole setup first,
you're gonna get rid of that playing card,
so two playing cards held as one,
seven as spades, we're
gonna use one playing cards,
we're gonna use a signed
playing card and my wallet.
So I steal the seven of spades,
I come to my pocket and the
ace helps me guide the seven in
because the seven touches
the face of the ace
and it simply slides into my wallet,
so easy, it makes the
whole process so easy
and so quick.
No fumbling, no messing
around, it just hits the card
and slides in.
All that's left to do, make
sure they're both pushed in,
pull the wallet back like so, closed.
At this point you're gonna
be squeezing the wallet
to make sure that both
those cards are lined up.
Now one discrepancy with this,
you have to be the one to
reveal the playing card.
So this is where the battle of your mind
is gonna come into play
because you lose such a beautiful moment
where Susan can handle everything,
she can take the wallet herself,
she can do everything,
so you're gonna lose that
because you're the one
handling everything.
However, this sacrifice
does bring along with it
something incredible, there
are two playing cards in here
I bring the wallet out like this
so very fairly, open it up so very fairly,
there's one playing card inside,
I take it out so very fairly
because they're facing outwards.
You see that seven right from the start,
you see it like this,
there are two options now.
I'm holding two playing cards,
I can keep the wallet in play
show the seven, steal the seven off again
as I hold this playing card,
go straight into the move,
again, into the trick again,
I take the wallet and I say,
"Look I'm gonna put the
wallet back in my pocket."
As you're talking
you're gonna be feeding the
playing card back inside.
This isn't a recommended version,
but it is very clean.
You're feeding back inside
the wallet goes straight
back into your pocket.
Completely clean this time
you can pull the wallet out
completely fairly and allow
Susan to do everything.
So you've kind of made up for it.
The idea that I love about
this more than anything,
on that first time when you
bring the wallet 'round,
Susan can't handle anything, unfortunate,
we're gonna make up for it.
I pull the wallet out, unfold,
reveal the seven of spades,
there are two playing cards here,
reveal the seven of spades,
as soon as she's satisfied,
as soon as everybody's satisfied
that the seven of spades
was in the wallet,
one card, her signed playing card,
your language the way
you're gonna explain this
is gonna cover everything.
You need to think about
the way you script it
and think about the way
you're gonna deliver this
because now you're gonna
show this one playing card,
and you're gonna say, "Look,
your card went from the deck
"into my wallet right?
"Did anybody see how it was done,
"does anybody have any
ideas how it was done?"
As I'm talking I take
the playing card out,
the seven of spades, put the
wallet down or in my pocket,
I don't have the seven of
spades, I have the ace of hearts.
This leaves me in such
a beautiful position,
I can leave the wallet on the table,
go straight into a move.
"You didn't see how I did it?
"Look I'll do it again,
watch this time much faster."
Poof gone, lap this, get rid of it,
get rid of it however you want,
instantly your card has
gone back into the wallet.
This time it really is impossible,
especially when they check.
They've just seen that playing card
come out of the wallet in your hand
and it's instantly in the wallet.
And yet again, and it's a real wallet,
it's not a fake wallet.
It's a real card, it's signed by Susan.
This is a miracle, an absolute miracle
and the only way I
think you can appreciate
how much of a miracle that idea is,
is by going out and performing it.
Now I called it repocket,
I refer to it as repocket.
I published this 2005 I
believe, the first time,
where the very simple idea,
where I would do a card to pocket,
which I'm gonna teach on this channel
a few different card to pocket ideas,
but I'll do a card to pocket
where I would show somebody
I would expose the method,
I would say, "Look I'm gonna show you
"how I got it to my pocket,
it's not rocket science.
"I hid it in my palm,
I went into my pocket,
"and then all I had to do was reveal it.
"I'll show you it again, but
I'll do it so much faster."
This time I come back with an ace,
they think this is still their card,
"I'll show you again, but I'll
do it so much faster, watch.
"Poof, it's in my pocket."
It looks impossible.
Now I don't believe that idea is mine.
The idea that I published was the idea of
I used to be a pickpocket,
so this skill of being able to load things
onto people and take things from people
kinda came naturally to me.
And having a signed playing
card disappear from a deck
and appear in your participant's pocket
is an actual miracle.
Taking that one step further
and revealing it to them,
showing them how you're doing it,
showing them how you achieve that
but then turn it into a trick,
it doesn't get more magical than that.
So the way that I would do that,
I would do it for real,
get the card on them,
shirt, breast pocket would be the best,
and the easiest access.
I would then go on to explain it to them
and I would hide the ace of hearts,
I would hide the playing card
behind the signed seven of spades
it was palming, I palmed the card,
I got a little bit too close to you,
standing on a light again,
no good for my feet,
I got a little bit too close to you,
and when I pat you on the chest,
I actually lowered the
card into your pocket.
So while you're patting them on the chest,
and you expose it to them,
just show them, just say,
"Look, I patted you on the pocket,
"and I put them in your pocket.
"I put the card in your pocket, sorry."
So once you've done it, they go,
"Oh man, that's brilliant,
what a fantastic idea."
As they're kinda responding to it
you pull out the other
card, the ace of heats,
leaving the signed playing
card in their pocket.
Right because they see you
take the seven of spades
out of their pocket, they
don't see the face of it,
but they see the playing card.
Now you can buy yourself
a huge amount of time
by saying, "Look I'll
show you something else,
"look forget your card for now,
"I'll show you something else."
And as you're showing them a trick,
at the end of the trick, you say,
"By the way, did you feel
me touch your chest again?"
And they'd be like, "No."
"Look in your pocket."
And the miracle of that is just,
you have to kind of perform it
and experience it to understand
and really appreciate it.
I mean you could do the same thing again,
once you leave that seven
of spades in their pocket,
you come out with the ace of hearts,
you could do that thing
again where you say,
"Look I'll do it again,
"this time I'll make it more impossible,
"I'll stand back here."
And then you make it vanish
and it's in their pocket.
Not a huge fan of that idea
because it seems too magical,
I'd like them to they saw a method,
I'd like them to think that.
Because if I take it out of their pocket,
it's still in there, the
seven, I use the ace of hearts.
If I take the seven and then
do this and make it vanish,
all I'm doing is kind of exposing myself
as a fraud.
I'm saying "Oh it's
magic, it's really magic."
And they're going "Yeah, but it is though,
"because that's impossible,
that actually can't happen."
Whereas if you buy yourself some time
and make them believe that at some point
you went back to their pocket
and the have to think
did he, did he really?
Well yeah he must have
done, because it's in there.
That's when it becomes
something special I believe.
And this is a very long video.
So thanks for watching,
and thanks for spending some time with me
I will try and make my future
videos shorter than this.
It's going to the other room.
So that was card to wallet.
Like I said in the introduction,
these are, I consider this trick,
and the methods that I've
taught you in this video,
golden, golden trickery,
golden sleight of hand.
And I don't want to talk about
it too much in this video,
but everything that I'm preaching
and everything that I'm teaching
everything that I'm guiding,
that's right Charlie,
everything that I'm giving on this channel
when we get to 100,000,
this time I'm putting my
money where my mouth is.
As soon as we hit 100,000 subscribers,
I'm gonna show you everything
that I'm teaching you in performance,
live on the street like with real people.
Right now I wanna keep
my focus on teaching,
I'm a teacher, I'm a
teacher, I'm a teacher.
But when we get to 100,000,
we're gonna go out there,
we're gonna see some live performances
from Daddy Maddy.
Oh, did I really just call
myself Daddy Maddy Charlie,
Do you know what, I've
had some time off as well,
and there's so many things
I want to update you with,
but I'm very conscious of
how long this video is,
so I'm gonna save it all for next time.
Right now all I've gotta
say is thanks, thanks,
and thank, I'm Daniel Madison,
this was card to wallet.
See you next time.
Daniel, Daniel, oh Daniel,
Daniel, I need you help,
I've had an accident with
a frozen sausage, ow.
