(heavy breakbeat)
- Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
People seem to be loving
this new direction, man,
and it's all thanks to you.
So thanks, Charlie Madison, thanks.
I no longer need to get smashed
off of my bits, Charlie,
because this is therapy for me.
This is,
do you understand how important this is?
This is therapy, Charlie.
You know what, you remind
me of a younger me.
You know, before the operation.
And that's a huge compliment, man.
You're special.
And so is this trick.
In this video I'm gonna hide one of my
favourite card forces of all time.
It's a borrowed deck, Charlie.
Charlie, it's a shuffled deck.
You understand?
That it's a borrowed, shuffled deck.
The participant shuffles
the cards, yet I can still,
I can still force any
playing card that I want
from that borrowed, shuffled deck.
It's just madness.
You're gonna enjoy,
you're gonna appreciate
the title of this one, Charlie.
Let's get to it.
I'm Daniel Madison,
you're Charlie Madison.
What's going on?
(Charlie coos)
You're welcome.
The magician takes a
deck of playing cards,
and after shuffling them
he proceeds to remove
four of a kind.
Four playing cards.
All the same value.
He places those four playing
cards on the surface,
and invites his participant to place
their hand on top of those cards.
Jesus.
The magician then invites the participant
to shuffle the playing cards.
- How am I supposed to shuffle the deck
when my hand is on these
four flipping playing cards?
- Maybe you could um, put
an object on top of them,
instead of covering them with your hand.
The magician then invites the participant
to place an object on top
of those four playing cards,
so that he cannot get to them.
Please, place an object on top
of those four playing cards
so that I cannot get to them.
Is that a frozen sausage?
- Yeah.
- The magician, that's
me, then proceeds to
count playing cards one by one
from the top of the deck, like so.
He invites the participant to call stop
at any given moment.
Please, if you would like
to call stop at any moment.
- Stop it.
- You're happy with this?
You can change your mind if you like.
- I am very happy.
- The magician then fairly reveals
the stopped at playing card
to be none other than the nine of clubs.
The rest of the playing
cards are placed aside.
At the beginning I lied to you.
(Charlie coos)
Thanks Charlie, good timing.
I told you that I removed
four playing cards.
I actually only removed three.
These three playing cards need one more
playing card to make up four of a kind.
Those playing cards
are then revealed to be
the nine of diamonds,
the nine of spades,
and the nine of hearts,
making four of a kind.
The magician then hands out the
four of a kind to be inspected,
and the participant responds accordingly.
- Yeah it's all right that, innit.
Are you some kind of
magician or something?
- Yeah.
Yeah I'm a magician, yeah.
Thanks.
I am Daniel Madison and
this is The Sausage Force.
- What are you doing down there?
Does he always do this?
(Charlie coos)
Shut up you.
Get up, Madison.
Get up, magic boy.
Come on, get up.
Stop crying.
Oi, get off my sausage.
- Hi I'm Daniel Madison, welcome back.
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for choosing to spend a little bit
more time with me today.
This is a very special video.
I'm gonna teach a very powerful force,
a force that's been in my
repertoire from day one.
I believe it was in my
first ever lecture notes
over 20 years ago, and I've
been using it ever since.
It's dead simple.
It's direct, it's to the point,
and it looks completely fair.
Now for anybody who doesn't
know what a force is,
it is the act of forcing
a participant to choose
any playing card that
you want them to choose.
I want them to choose the nine of clubs
from a shuffled deck, I use this force,
the card that they choose
will be the nine of clubs.
You heard the name right,
you heard the name correctly.
I'm gonna get straight to it now.
A lot of people say that
I talk too much, and I do,
but the intricacies of
deception cannot be overlooked.
They cannot be overlooked.
So when a video is long, and
when I'm talking too much,
it's because it needs to happen.
I'm obsessed with magic and deception,
specifically but not
limited to playing cards.
Obsessed completely.
I live, breathe, I bleed playing cards.
I'm obsessed with the advancement
and the development of
deception, as an art.
So when I talk for a long time
you better be listening closely,
because it's very important.
On that note, we're
gonna get straight to it,
straight to the teaching.
Thanks for being here.
I'm Daniel Madison and
this is The Sausage Force.
Now we're gonna begin by getting
straight to the mechanics,
straight to the method, and
then we'll cover the intricacies
once you know how this force works.
We're dealing with the bottom
playing card of the deck.
Nine of clubs in my case.
I'm gonna hold the deck
from above, like so,
in my right hand.
Finger to the front, thumb at the back.
Fairly relaxed, nothing
fishy, nothing strange.
Finger one resting on the top.
As I am talking, as you're
spending a little bit of time,
the left hand is gonna come in underneath
and I'm gonna riffle,
I'm gonna bend the deck,
with help from finger one,
and allow the bottom card
to snap away like so.
Just so that I can hold a
break with it, in there,
with my thumb, which looks like that.
It's just a tiny little bit of a gap
that nobody can see from the front.
Nobody can see that.
So I have a little gap there
that allows air to be in between
the deck and this playing card,
allowing the card to
drop away from the deck
easier than it would if it
wasn't for that gap, ha ha.
So in this position, you can
either ask the participant
to call stop as you deal playing cards,
or you take playing cards.
Or you can ask for a
number between one and 52.
Now, to make this simpler
in the learning process
we're gonna chose a number.
So we're gonna keep it low
and go with number nine.
So I ask for a number between
one and 52, they say nine.
I proceed to deal, or peel
playing cards away like this.
With my left thumb on top I
press down, slide it over,
and allow it to be dropped,
to find its way into my left hand.
Like so.
Very relaxed, very easy.
Some people will already see what's coming
and how this works.
So one,
two, three, four,
five, six.
We're on six, the nine is still here.
Six,
seven,
eight.
Now, when I go for the ninth playing card
in the exact same manner,
the exact same behaviour
and body language and
pattern, nothing changes.
I'm gonna drop the nine of clubs
on top of playing card eight.
So I drop it on top, as my thumb
makes contact with the top card.
(Charlie coos)
Thanks Charlie.
Like so.
So the nine of clubs has now
been dropped on to the top.
And I peel this card on top of it like so.
So I now actually have ten
playing cards in my hand.
I'll expose that a little bit more.
So, nine here,
we get a little bit of a gap.
One, two, three.
Obviously don't go this fast,
we'll cover all this after I'm through.
Four, five, six, seven,
eight, drop,
nine on top.
So the nine of clubs,
the forced card is now
the second down in this pile.
There are a few different ways that I can.
There are a few different
things that I can do
with this situation right now.
First of all, two ideas.
Number one, double lift.
Turn over two playing cards
to show the nine of clubs.
That then allows me to turn it back down.
Put this playing card in the middle
looks like the nine of clubs.
In fact it isn't, the nine is here.
Put this packet on top,
push the apparent nine of clubs inside
and it finds its way to the top.
That's not a trick that's a control.
Another thing, or the most,
the thing that I like doing,
the thing that I always
usually do is this.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight,
drop, nine.
Is this, I push the cards over like this
so you can see at least three cards.
And then I raise them up like this
to show you the top card.
Obviously now you've
seen the nine of clubs,
that's not the top card, the top card is,
in this case, the ace of diamonds.
So from here, the ace of diamonds,
we don't need the ace of hearts,
the ace of diamonds is on top here.
When I do this motion where I raise up,
all I'm doing is pulling this card back.
At quite a normal speed with my thumb.
Now fingers two and three of this hand
are pressing against the
face of the nine of clubs
which keeps it in place.
So right now the ace of diamond is here,
I pull it back like so,
as the deck goes up.
So this happens as I'm raising the deck.
Like so.
(Charlie coos)
Thanks again Charlie.
The ace is here.
I lift this up to show you the nine.
I grab it here on the corner,
very carefully and delicately.
I pull this packet away
so now this is free from the deck.
Now, depending no what you wanna do,
you can pull this away
and then hold it in place with your thumb.
Now it really is the top card
and it looks like it was
the top card all along.
We'll go over that once again
very quickly from this angle.
And then we're gonna cover
some of the intricacies.
So the nine is, there's a gap
between the nine and the deck.
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight,
drop, nine.
This card that we stopped
on is the nine of clubs.
And we are clean and free to go.
Let's get up close and deal with
some of the more intricate deceptions
with this force.
So the trick that you saw
me doing at the beginning
of this video, the demonstration itself,
where I used four of a kind.
I don't usually do that
but I chose that trick
as a way of demonstrating this force.
However I do wanna teach it to you
'cause I'm sure a few people will
want to know how that works.
And will want a way of performing this.
So I'll perform my first
and then we'll go over
some of the amazing things that
you can do with this force.
Now the deck is thoroughly
shuffled by a participant.
I don't like using the word spectator,
it's kind of, it's a weird disengaging,
disconnecting word that I don't like.
Participant means they're part of it.
Again magic, and in
all magic performances,
the participant, the person
should be participating.
They shouldn't just be
stood there watching,
they should become a part of it.
Very important part of
magic is bringing them in,
allowing them to experience it on
as many levels as possible
with as many senses as possible.
Obviously they don't
wanna smell the magic,
it might smell disgusting.
But they wanna feel it,
they wanna touch it,
they wanna know what magic feels like.
So that's another reason why I like
to allow them to touch the playing cards
as much as possible.
The deck of playing cards is
thoroughly shuffled by the participant.
And then we'll use four of a kind.
And I say that I'm gonna take
out four of a kind and I do.
But I keep one of those
cards back, in this position.
Now the nine just happened to be there
just by coincidence.
In fact, they're all pretty close together
so I'm gonna separate them
for the sake of explaining this trick.
So I go through and I'm gonna
up chuck four of a kind.
I make a point of saying four of a kind
because they need to know that
they're all the same value.
And that there are four of them.
(Charlie coos)
Thanks Charlie.
One, two,
three,
four.
At this point and throughout,
I don't really want anybody,
or the participant to know
what playing cards these are.
Because that's kind of
where the impact lies,
that's where the secret of the
reaction's gonna come from.
I take out the four playing cards
and show four playing cards.
I show four of a kind.
Now I've shifted the nine
of clubs to the back,
so this is, or from your side the front,
this is the nine of clubs.
I show four playing
cards and then I say I'm
gonna put these four playing cards
on the surface right here,
put your hand on top of them.
A very simple action where I am able to
steal the nine of clubs.
Very simple, it's not even a move really.
It's just something where I just basically
put it in the deck.
Deck's here.
I say I'm gonna place
these four playing cards
on the surface right here.
I've just kept behind the nine of clubs.
The playing cards are in a pile,.
They've just seen four playing cards here,
they're in a pile.
It's a non-moment, you
can't tell if there are
three or four playing cards there.
Especially with my
with my attention direction.
I don't like the word misdirection,
I'm not trying to make people look away
from these three playing cards.
But I'm certainly trying
to direct their attention
away from them to something else.
There is a difference, we'll talk
about that in a different video.
At this point you don't have
to invite them to put something.
I invite my participant to put something
on top of those playing cards.
So that I couldn't get to them.
And he put a frozen sausage on there.
But you don't need to do that.
That adds a level of protection
that you don't really need.
Like you don't run unless
you're being chased.
And at this point I've got
nothing to worry about.
And I'm not presenting, I'm not.
I'm not giving any information yet.
This is a very non-moment.
And nothing's happened so far
and they don't know what to expect.
So there's no reason for me
to lie about these playing cards.
Also, I don't want them to know where
my four of a kind is yet.
So they're not gonna
turn them over and look
because this is not part of the secret.
They don't need to know yet.
At this moment I can shuffle
the playing cards myself.
Freely you can shuffle the
playing cards yourself.
And you're still gonna have
the same impact with the trick.
For me, I like my
deceptions to be dangerous
and risky and I like
to go one step further.
For me I will cop the the hell
out of that nine of clubs.
It's on the bottom of the deck.
I've got so much time while I'm
explaining what's gonna happen
to shift that nine of
clubs into a gambler's cop.
Before I hand the playing
cards out to be shuffled.
Meanwhile stealing the nine of clubs.
Now I keep that nine of clubs in my hand
whilst the participant
shuffles the playing cards.
When they give me the playing cards back
I just load the nine
of clubs from the palm
straight to the bottom of the deck
and it's now in position
where it needs to be.
(Charlie coos)
Thanks Charlie.
You don't need to do this,
you don't need to do it.
You can just shuffle the
playing cards yourself,
controlling the nine
of clubs by any means.
I'm simply just keeping my fingers against
it so they stay in the
bottom when I'm shuffling.
This keeps it in position.
You don't need to hand it out.
I just think it adds so
much to the deception
where they've shuffled,
in this important
moment, they've shuffled.
That's what they'll tell when
they go and tell somebody.
"Yeah, oh he showed me
this incredible thing
"with a deck of playing cards
"where it was a freely chosen playing card
"and I shuffled."
It's an important part of
that memory and that story.
You can change that,
you can change that after the trick
when they're saying, "wow, what happened?
"What happened? How did you do that?"
At this moment I can get
into their mind and say,
"yeah and you shuffled them,
"remember you shuffled the cards!"
And they'll go, "yeah I did, I shuffled."
Through the excitement and through the
stupidity of it.
I don't know what word to use.
Anyway, the nine of clubs is at the bottom
of the deck and I'm ready to go.
Everything's ready to go.
Now I can invite the
participant to call stop
as I deal playing cards like this.
Or I can ask for a number
between one and 52.
It's really up to you.
If you say, ask them to call stop,
when you get to this position
when they've called stop.
I'm now gonna ask them if they
want this card or this card.
Because when they call
stop I might be over here
and the nine's still here.
If they call stop while I'm here
I drop the nine of clubs off
and I can say do you want
this card or this card?
If they say this card,
it is the nine of clubs
so I've got nothing to hide.
It's perfect trick.
If they say this card, perfect.
I just deal one more playing card off
and continue as planned
as I already explained
where you pull this card back,
where you spread it back.
Ten of spades, show the nine of clubs.
If you ask for a number between one and 52
then there's no option.
You don't give them an
option, this or this.
Because this is gonna be the number
that they told you to deal to.
I prefer asking them to call stop because
if I say name a number between one and 52
they might question this and say
why can't I deal the cards?
Then you have to change the trick.
Then it becomes something else.
Then it's gonna become controller.
So there's a way out of this.
But for the purpose of this trick
I don't want them to do that.
I want full control over this.
That's why I say call stop at any point.
And though it doesn't
matter where they call stop
as you know because the
nine of clubs is here.
So let's just get to
it, they call stop here.
I deal that playing card and
make it as fair as possible.
Push it over down here
so they can still see it.
Then raise my hand at a normal speed,
not fast, not slow.
Carefully hold it like this.
Put these playing cards face up,
these playing cards face up.
Always as hands off as possible.
Now, the moment where you
take a card like this,
you don't need to take the card like that.
You don't need to do that.
But it does have something about it
that makes it feel more fair.
Makes it feel like you are proving that
that's the top playing card.
And at this point you're free,
you're good to go.
There's a chance that
they might have counted
the playing cards as you're doing this.
They might be going,
one, two, three, four.
They might be counting.
And you might worry because you're
gonna have an extra playing card.
I drop the nine of clubs
and peel this off.
There's one more playing card in the deck
than there should be.
But this is only an obsessive person who,
it's never happened in 20 years for me,
it's probably never gonna happen for you.
And also at this point
where you take the nine
and put this part down.
You're gonna put this packet
straight on top of it anyway.
So the chances of them tracking
and reverse engineering this
are very slim.
It's never happened with me,
but there you go.
For the performance that
I showed you in this video
I ended up with this card and I say,
"I lied to you earlier, I told you
"that I put four of a kind down.
"I didn't, I only put three
of those four of a kind down
"and I kept another one in the deck.
"Look."
Now they see that there's
three blind cards there
and all of a sudden it becomes strange.
It becomes mysterious, it becomes,
whoa, hold on, now I understand.
Now this makes sense,
all this counting cards,
all this shuffling.
Now I get what's coming.
The anticipation, the predetermination
of what's gonna happen
and also in that moment when they say
nine of diamonds,
nine of hearts,
and nine of spades.
I always do that as a bit of a joke.
And then you're clean,
obviously you're clean.
Everything's done.
And you're good to go.
So that's basically, that's the video
that you saw at the beginning.
That's the demonstration that you saw
at the beginning of this video.
Let's talk a bit more
about the force itself
and how to use it away from this situation
as a force itself and some of the other
interesting things that
you can do with it.
But when you start playing
around with this force itself,
isolated without the
trick that I showed you.
And you start experimenting and playing
with different things
that you can do with it.
You find that there are so many things
and it's such a powerful force.
And it's dead simple, you don't need,
you don't need to be completely skilled
with slight of hand.
You can still be in
early stages of learning
and achieve this very easily.
There's not much going on
in terms of slight of hand.
This isn't a classic force, for example,
which is arguably quite
difficult for beginners.
This is something that,
although I don't advise it,
anybody who's new to this
could pick up a deck of cards
and achieve this instantly.
I don't advise that, I try to
I try to promote the idea that we need
to spend as much of our lives as possible
developing and learning and advancing
our skill levels in deceptions like on our
playing cards before we
even go out and perform.
Saying that, it's a tough argument because
the only really practise
will come from performing.
Just like this trick,
just like this slight,
just like this force I mean.
You will learn the most from this,
as with any other deception,
from actually going
out there and doing it.
You'll learn the rights, the wrongs,
the right things to do,
the wrong things to do.
The best angles, what's
safe, what isn't safe.
Fortunately this is a
force that doesn't need
too much control over the angles.
There's that one moment where
you drop the playing card
into position, where you
have to over brake too.
There's that moment there too.
But there's not too much
that you have to cover.
When you lift the card up,
when you lift it to show it,
again you might want to
hide the back side of that.
But then, if you're
worried about that you can
revert and you can do the double lift.
Let's take a quick look at it.
And we'll get the nine of
clubs back in position.
And we'll do nine again.
So one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
drop, nine.
In this position, let's
take a look at this.
If you were completely surrounded,
what's the best way to do this?
Now, we can get into second dealing,
you could hit a second deal right now.
A second deal is the act of dealing the
second playing card down in the deck.
Whilst apparently it looks like
you're dealing the top card fairly.
You could do a second deal, you could do.
It's difficult and we're
not gonna get into that yet.
I do have the second deal
masterclass on the way
but that's in the future,
that's nothing to worry soon.
For me I think the easiest
solution, the easiest option
here when it comes to
angles and protection
is hitting a double lift, showing
the nine of clubs, showing the force card,
turning that card back down.
You're left in a position
now where you have
so many different avenues
that you could take.
You've forced the nine of clubs,
you've stopped at that card,
they've named, they've called stop.
You're fairly sure of that
card to be the nine of clubs.
You can now turn that
double card face down,
apparently take the nine of clubs,
actually the six of diamonds.
Take the nine of clubs,
put it in the deck, put
the rest of the deck on top
and it looks like the nine
of clubs is lost inside.
Meanwhile you've controlled
it, it's at the top.
So this can be used as a
very interesting control too.
I did publish something
else with my late friend
some years back, Randall Freeman.
I can't remember the name,
I think we called it counting crows?
But either way I'm gonna
show you this interesting
idea that you can do
as a four card reveal.
And then we'll leave it there
because I wanna see what
you guys can come up with.
But before we get to that, let me show you
this interesting idea
where you can produce
four of a kind by using this force.
I have one nine on top of the deck
the other three nines are on the bottom.
I ask the participant
to name a number between
one and 52, they say nine.
I have my brake between the bottom card
and the rest of the deck,
like so.
They say nine and one,
so that's our first nine.
Two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
drop the card, nine.
With my left hand I'm
gonna square those two
cards up and get a
brake and I'm gonna open
this packet with my right hand like so.
And clamp those two cards
together inside, like so.
There are two cards here now.
I'm gonna use finger two of my left hand
(Charlie coos)
to reach underneath.
Thanks Charlie.
To reach underneath this packet
and peel out the bottom playing card
to the top of this packet like so.
So they look like this.
I now turn both my hands over
as so to reveal all four nines.
This is a very, very
strange and simple idea.
It's one of those things that doesn't need
to be a thing, it's just a cute thing
you can do with playing cards.
By teaching this on film,
by teaching the force
I was reminded of this, so I thought
it would be worth sharing.
Three of my nines to the bottom,
one on top, get your brake
between the bottom card
and the rest of the deck.
Ask for the number between one and nine
which is very irrelevant when
you get to the end of this.
But still.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Remember the top card has been dealt off
so the nine is already here.
The rest are at the bottom of the deck.
When I deal the, when I
drop the nine of diamonds
to the deck, because I've just gone eight.
I keep my pinkie in place so that
it doesn't fall on top of the deck.
I drop, peel the top card off
and now I've got a natural brake
between my pinkie.
So these two cards are held together.
Finger one, I pull open this
pocket, I brake it open.
You know, I clamp those
two playing cards inside.
So now I have nine of diamonds
with a card hidden behind it
with a random stopped
card hidden behind it.
Two nines here and one nine here.
So I wanna create this
same shape with this hand
so I peel the bottom
playing card off the deck
as soon as I see it,
grab it with my thumb.
Now they look the same
and I rotate my hands
in opposite directions to reveal
all four of the nines.
A very non-trick, very semi-cute
little thing nonetheless.
I really wanted to share it (laughs)
So The Sausage Force, The Sausage Force.
Remember, practise, practise, practise.
Don't go performing this until
you feel very very confident.
And work the trick out first.
Develop your own trick,
create your own trick
that can be used with this force.
Let me know what you do with
it, use the comment section.
I'm very interested.
You know me, I'm very
interested in developing
and advancing the art of magic.
So I wanna see what other
people create with these ideas.
This isn't my idea, I developed
this over 20 years ago.
When you come up with something,
when you develop something,
when you discover something,
in the world of magic,
in the world of any art I guess.
When you publish it, when you share it,
it's no longer yours.
So you watching this right now,
this is now your force.
You take it and do
whatever you want with it.
Call it what you want.
You can feel free to call
it The Sausage Force,
that's my favourite (laughs)
That's my favourite title for a force.
"Oh yeah, do you know
that force by Madison,
"you know, The Sausage Force?"
"What?"
Ha ha, it just makes people smile.
So take it and do what you want with it.
I'm gonna be sharing
so much more like this,
so much more of my slight of hand
my magic, my deceptions.
And it's all gonna be on my
YouTube channel, this channel.
We're gonna develop together.
And me as the teacher I guess,
the teacher of magic and deception,
you as my student.
All I ask is make sure you subscribe.
Let me know what you think of this video
and let me know what you
think of the force itself
and what you do with it.
I will be in the comment
section to this video.
I'll be right there with you.
Thanks for watching this video.
Thanks Charlie, thanks Charlie.
I'm dying of embarrassment.
See you next time.
(sighs) What am I doing?
