I used to work in a magic shop about 30 years ago and learned all the standard sleights and associated tricks. Over time I’ve found that I don’t really enjoy watching routines with sleights because once you know what to look for, it really spoils the effect. Lately I’ve been on a tear learning amazing ‘no sleight’ effects like this and it’s really been fun!

I'm a Care Worker for very poorly people in the community. I've never done magic, so learning your self working magic tricks has been great, and the reactions I have had from those I support has been AMAZING!
Thank you so much from myself, and those I have performed these to x x x

I only started three months ago, the smiles I get of people when I show them a trick makes it so worthwhile.👍

Hi Matt.
Just starting off in close up magic and cards seem to work best. I work as a school chaplain and just found it is a lot easier to have a deck of cards on hand than to carry a heap of props and gimmicks. I use the tricks to introduce myself to new students and they are great icebreakers for me to get to talking to them. Now I'm always being asked to "do a trick" with the cards so I am increasing my repertoire. Your channel I enjoy, especially the tricks where there is zero setup and/or the spectator does the working without me touching the cards. Keep up the great work.

I watched it to the end, then got out a deck of cards and it worked first time. Pretty good considering I did it with miniature cards from a Christmas cracker. I dropped two cards on the floor and picked them up after a shuffle, guessing which way they faced, so I got lucky there. Did it again with no errors and it worked again. Great trick. I'm seeing my grandchildren on the 21st and using their terminology, this will "fry their brains".

I'm in my 80s and came across card magic by chance and got hooked!! I prefer selfworking tricks as my manual dexterity is too poor for many of the sleight of hand tricks. I already perform a different version of this trick.

I started doing card tricks at parties in the 1970's, and I've seen variations of this one recently, but this is, hands down (pun intended), the most elegant version. Thanks again Matt.

Here’s why it works:

The easiest way to understand it is to imagine that you begin with 20 face down cards in a pile (ie none of the cards is reversed). Now proceed with the mixing:

Step 1: Count off 10 cards into a pile.
Step 2: Shuffle both piles.
Step 3: Turn either pile face up.
Step 4: Alternate the cards into one pile.
Step 5: Cut the pile as much as you like.

Situation currently is that the cards lie in pairs - EITHER a) with every pair face to face, OR b) with every pair back to back.

Step 6: Take pairs of cards one at a time from the top of the pile and place them down, either as they are or by first flipping them over. This has no resulting effect, as each pair remains as it was (ie all pairs face to face or all pairs back to back).

Step 7: Deal four hands of cards. Piles A and C will both face the same way. Piles B and D will both face the same way (but opposite to A and B).
Step 8: Put piles A and C together to make pile X.
Step 9: Put piles B and D together to make pile Y.

Situation is that all cards in pile X face one way, and all cards in pile Y face the opposite way.

Step 10: Turn over either pile X or pile Y, then put the piles together.

Situation is that all the cards now face the same way - ie we’re back where we started.

So… if we’re back where we started, then we can change our starting position to anything we like, and at the end that’s where we’ll be.

In this case, Matt starts with four face up queens, so at the end that is where he ends up - with four face up queens.

It’s a difficult-to-track procedure for forcing any number of cards from a packet of cards. Quite useful.

I’m an amateur magic nut. Love these self working tricks and have just tried this one. The final stage I thought ‘no way is this going to work’… but it did! Amazing!!

[LarryDMitchell]

NICE. Over the last two days I've bookmarked five of your videos, including this one and now I need to get down to practicing so I can remember them. Thanks for the great channel.

[ajitpatel]

Another absolutely fantastic video. More of these videos PLEASE.

[Rover]

I'm just starting out with learning a few card tricks and this one is going to be a regular for me. Thanks for posting the excellent video. Great style!

[jeff-pyrt]

Fabulous trick and just started since a shoulder op 6 weeks ago and have been totally learning your card tricks and getting better and better. Keep up the tuition it's great

[gusdog]

Hey Matt,
Love the channel and thanks for performing and explaining so many strong and awesome self working card magic.
I'm learning as many as possible to perform at my marina this summer in the USA.
Keep uploading your content.

[wizardwillbonner]

I'm always looking for new effects to add my routine, this will definitely be added. I would also love to learn your "flash of the queen" move, definite attention grabber! Thank you for sharing this.

[brianparker]

Insanity! That's brilliant, I will definitely be learning it 😀

[markcoward]

Great effect Matt! Definitely going into my set. I have a set that is purely self-workers, strung together so they flow one into the other, and spectators love it. Thanks for sharing this!

[RJR]

Awesome I have no idea you showed up in my feed but glad you did. I can’t wait to try this out for my kids.

[matthewbeauregard]

This is Awesome, I have a trip planned next week, so I'm trying brush up on all your card tricks, thanks for all the video tutorials.

[HughLindsay]
