I have been doing this for at least 15 years in my work. THE BEST IN THE HANDS TRIUMPH EVER!!! Its actually one of my top go to card effects. Big thanks Jay for this gem.

Over 15 years later, and 'Back in Time' is still one of my favorite card tricks to perform. The simplicity and structure are beautiful, and prove that powerful magic can be created without the need of complicated gimmicks or techniques. You created a classic in this routine Jay. Thank you for your contribution to our craft.

Three things I like about this trick:
1) It's impromptu.
2) It's a free choice with a shuffled deck.
3) It's sexy visual.

I've seen a similar trick performed using the "poker shuffle" (sometimes called a "drunken shuffle") to force the four aces, a royal flush, etc, but I love the story about time travel. That photo image is such a stronger effect than seemingly shuffling the cards like an inebriated orangutan and coming up with a good poker hand. Thanks, Jay! Top notch as always.

This is really the best in the hands triumph there is. I have heard some super hard core card magicians who can do about anything with a deck of cards, say the slop shuffle is more deceptive to lay audiences than other kinds of shuffles. The sloppiness of the deck just makes it seem like there is no way you can be controlling the cards. I would only add that it is too bad you gave this one away for free. It is a real worker. But thanks for your generosity Jay.

I do a trick extremely similarly to this one, but it's not got the time travel element. This version and presentation makes mine look so dry, I think I'll have to adapt it, thanks Jay. It just proves how it's not the trick, but the magician and their presentation of a trick.

I just tried this but I didn't have a deck of cards on me so I grabbed my grandson's Pokemon cards and it worked great! Something about the weight of the Pokemon cards made the double lift a breeze!

[sheridanillusions]

I can't believe you gave this trick away for free Jay! This has been my go to card trick for about 7-8 years and I love it dearly. Gets absolutely great reactions and you can go straight into ambitious or whatever. Like so much of Sankeys stuff it has a proper plot that genuinely hooks your audiences. Learn this well! Great to see it's even been refined a bit from the version I learned all those years ago.

Finally a time travel eff that's not confusing

recently retired Jay I performed for many years under every venue and conditions possible and you are one of 2 people who's contributions to magic I have found are always real workers ...

[devshah]

You are a genius Jay sankey, i never thought triumph could be used in a way like this! Amazing!

[nikilvincent]

The legend shows a amazing trick again YAY!!!! HATS OFF, Jay Sankey

[KiltedGinger]

I have loved doing this trick now for several months. Obviously my presentation and your differs but still love the effect and it just completely confuses everyone I have shown it to lol. So fun to do.

[Basement_Bro]

I’ve showed this trick to a bunch of people and each and every time I get the BEST reactions! Thank you!!!

[DisBeeMe]

I absolutely love this trick. I spent only a couple days perfecting my personalized performance and when I was comfortable I took it to the bar and it killed. Since learning this last week I get people who come up to me and introduce me to their friends mentioning this totally insane unbelievable "back in time" trick. Thanks so for much for jump starting my love of magic yet again with another incredible trick.

[blairmunro]

I've seen the same routine presented as a Triumph before, but I like this much better. I love impact of having a card change in a spectator's hand, so this strikes me as a superior presentation.

Cheers Jay, keep doing what you're doing!

[ErikSnider]

WOW that's sneaky! I've watched a lot of these types of videos, and I still missed that your shuffle wasn't really making a mess. Very fun trick.

[AbdullahAlam]

I knew all of these tricks. Never thought of putting them together like this with such a story. Goddamn this is awesome!

[LordQueezle]

This is an absolutely fantastic card trick! You fooled me when you did it (not that hard to do I guess) but what really blew me away was the simplicity of this trick! Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[puddingcup]

this trick is awesome! I did it for all my friends at school and their reactions were priceless!

[mahyarnazaripour]

You sir, are AWESOME ! I'm becoming a magician by your tutorials.
