- Rolling?
- Yeah.
- So it's like, real life scenario.
Let's say this is live.
- You're in the streets.
- Yeah, I'm in the streets.
So I'm just gonna do my thing.
- Hi, hey.
- Hey, what's up man?
- [Lee] You're the puzzle guy.
I really love your puzzle solves.
- Hey man, thanks.
I also do magic too, as you've seen.
- [Lee] Oh, I've never seen those videos.
- Yeah, I do.
Do you want to see a trick right now?
- [Lee] I would love to, do you have any
of your puzzles with you?
Like the little ones, I would
like to do a quick solve.
I'm sure I could do it.
- I don't actually carry puzzles with me.
But if you want to see a trick.
I've got a deck of cards right here.
- [Lee] I'm good man, I got to run.
- I insist, okay.
We're doing a tutorial.
You need to ask me about the magic trick.
- [Lee] Hey Mr. Ramsay.
- Hey, what's up man?
- [Lee] Hey, got any magic tricks?
- Got magic tricks?
- [Lee] You got any magic
tricks, up your sleeve?
Best I got.
- Yeah, I got some, alright,
I'll show you a magic trick.
I've got a joker here,
we're going to get back to
that joker here in a second.
Jokers are wild, much
like me and spring break.
Say stop whenever you
want. I'm just going to run
down the cards like this.
Just say stop whenever you want.
- Stop
- Right there?
- Yep
- The seven of clubs, here Lee,
I want you actually just
touch the seven of clubs.
- [Lee] What?
- [Ramsey] Yeah, that was real.
- Yo what's up guys?
Welcome back, today we're
gonna learn some magic.
Got a deck of cards here,
we're actually going
to review this deck.
Somebody's said this to
me, pretty cool card.
We'll get into that right
before the tutorial.
Today I'm teaching you
my favorite card to mouth
which is better than your card to mouth.
If you have a card to mouth
it's obsolete as of today.
This is better.
I've always loved the card to mouth plot
because it's a cool little fun surprise
where you have them select a
card, put it back in the deck,
and all of a sudden
you're like,where'd it go?
And then, they react, but
we're gonna to make it better
because that sucks.
The one thing I hate about card to mouth
before we get into anything
is the fact that once
I'm here, you know I gotta kind of like
dude look up.
And then this person already sees it.
And I'm like
(mumbling)
It's a super awkward moment,
how do we get rid of that?
I'm gonna teach you how to guy.
Like this video, subscribe
if you're new here
and let's get into it.
So I thought we'd look at these cards
because I found, thanks Lee,
no go ahead answer your phone call.
Anyways, we're gonna get on with this.
So these cards we're sent to me
by a guy by the name of Matt O.
From the Turtle Club in Naples, Florida.
I don't even know where that is.
I don't know what the Turtle Club is,
and I have no idea who Matt is.
But he's very friendly and
he sent me these cards,
so I thought we'd take a look at them,
'cause I really like them.
The top case is like
this super well embossed,
it's got that gold on it.
Reminiscent of the like those
theory eleven style decks,
super nice.
On the inside, there's nothing
going on on the inside.
But the outside, is where it's at.
They got a nice little
seal, little stamp seal.
And that line art turtle on the back.
The cards themselves
feel great, look great.
They do have a one way design,
got the pips in the corners.
Got some palm trees, which I really like.
Aside from that, the deck
is absolutely standard,
except apart from the ace of spades.
It's got some cool art on it.
Joker are identical, little
turtles with joker hats.
Comedy.
So the add card says,
"imagine watching the sunset
while dining al fresco on
the beach with family and"
what the is "al fresco"?
Sounds like an actor,
dining with Al Fresco?
I don't know what that is.
This is the elegant
magic of the turtle club,
which we perform nightly,
join us for a performance.
Soon.
I guess they perform
nightly, at a turtle club.
I'm not sure if you got
to dress up like a turtle?
Maybe have a turtle with you?
Or maybe they give you a
turtle when you get there?
I'm not sure what the
turtles have to do with it.
You can check it out if you're
into turtles or al fresco.
That's it for those cards,
thank you so much for sending those.
That's actually pretty cool.
Let's get into learning this.
As you saw from the beginning,
that was the performance.
Fairly easy, beginner
to intermediate trick,
but hits hard and it's something
you can do walking around,
standing up, sitting down,
laying down, jumping in the air.
You can do this while eating al fresco.
See they call that a call back,
that's comedy when you call back
to something just, you're welcome.
Lee, you want to take it off the sticks?
Let's get off the sticks.
Take your time Lee.
Set up is, you want your identical jokers,
so make sure they're identical.
If you have a duplicate, it works too.
Jokers just work really well with this
because you're kind of
like 'oh this is a joker,
I'm going to leave it here for now."
Up here Lee, there you go.
I'll leave it here for now.
And it makes sense.
And I like this in a stand
up environment because
if you were sitting down you
would just leave this turtle
to the side, this card to the side.
But because we're standing
up I need a place to put it,
so I'm just going to hold onto it.
I like that justification here.
Both jokers on top,
identical jokers on top.
You take one, you say "okay
we're gonna try something here,
actually we'll hold onto the joker."
For the sake of this trick I'm just going
to put the joker here so
that I can keep talking
without having something in
my mouth 'cause that's rude.
Something you would not
do while eating al fresco.
I did another call back
here to the al fresco joke,
and I think two's enough.
Two's the right number,
any other call back
after that not gonna be as funny.
So, you're welcome.
You want to have them select
a card now legitimately,
this seems like a free
choice, it's very nice.
It's a very nice way to do it.
So here's what you're gonna do.
You're going to take about half the pack,
you're holding the rest of the cards
in you're hand like this.
You're going to take about half the pack,
and with your thumb, you're
just going to strip off
that top card and you're
going to keep stripping off
the top cards.
But this first top card, which is your,
the card you want in play.
You're gonna do something
a little bit different.
So you're going to go here
and then once you're here,
you're gonna come back around
as if to strip the next one off.
But what you're doing is you're grabbing
a small break right here on that card.
So, in sequence it kind
of looks like this.
So this looks like a fair
choice at this point.
They can say stop whenever
they want and remember,
I have a break here under this card.
So whenever they decide to say stop,
here's the beautiful part.
I use this deck to flip that card over.
Now they see the nine of spades.
I'm going to use the deck again,
and flip it over but this time
I'm going to drop this card
on top at the same time.
So here's what it looks like in real time.
So you see nine of spades and I say,
"here" and that's already done.
Now you're going to use this
hand to do a one handed fan,
pretty sure I got a tutorial
out there somewhere,
if not there's a tutorial
out there somewhere.
You're gonna take that card,
which they think is the nine of spades,
and you're going to put it here.
Now normally in a card
to mouth they push it in.
And that gives me enough
time to take their card,
up here Lee, and put
it in my mouth, right.
But that's not what
we're going to do here,
because that creates that
weird moment where I'm here.
They put it in and I'm like (mumbles).
And I got to point at
people and I look stupid.
I look stupid right now.
Instead, let's start this over here.
We're here, we got that break,
we're going to go like this.
They say stop, wherever
the seven of hearts.
I replace it with that
other card, the joker.
Put it here, in the center,
I'm just going to say,
"touch the back of the card."
Now, pan up, this card
is gonna be in my mouth,
at this point, right?
As they touch the card, try
to keep us both in frame.
I'll be further away from the cards.
But as they touch that,
I'm just doing that.
So as soon as they touch
it, I turn it around.
It's now the joker, they
realize it's the joker,
which used to be in my mouth.
So they pan up and they see this.
So I don't have to point or anything else,
they get the idea.
And, why this is so great?
Because there are no extra moves.
You are doing the exact
same thing you would do
in a card to mouth scenario,
which is putting a card to your mouth.
So there's no extra moves here.
What's happening here?
Panicking, panicky, manicky,
flaniquin, mannequin.
Card to mouth normally would be just,
while they're doing the
thing, you go like this,
and because it's the same move.
You're doing this,
and with my thumb, I'm just gonna.
Right, that's all you're
doing, just switching a card,
same move, switching a card.
Okay, same move but different.
All in all, this is what it looks like.
We're gonna start off by saying,
"okay jokers are wild,
we'll leave this joker here,
it'll come into play a bit later."
Alright, say stop whenever you want.
Lee, say stop whenever you want.
- Stop.
- Right there?
- Yeah.
- Ten of hearts.
I want to, Lee could you actually
just touch the ten of hearts?
Look at that, pan up, and there you go.
Switched, don't act
surprised, don't do that.
So that is card to mouth, my version.
Which I call, better
than your card to mouth.
Because it is.
If you want to learn it, rewind the video.
I'm not gonna go over it again,
I think that was pretty thorough.
And that's it, so it's
a great thing to do.
You can do it walking around,
stand up environments,
you can be sitting down if
you want to, that's weird.
Could you imagine?
Hey everybody, sit down, and
nobody sits down except you.
I might cut that bit,
that's not that funny.
Okay guys, I tried.
Hope you enjoyed that.
This was really fun to teach.
By the way, people doing
card springs in public.
(grunts)
People doing card springs
in public, these guys.
Don't do that.
Just don't do it, don't do it.
Okay, all right.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
