Posted February 11, 2012 0:15. I'm no expert. But I'm going to notice when you do a riffle shuffle and then separate the two halves before they combine. I mean, if he had shuffled, right there, that would've an incredible trick. But he didn't... so... it's meaningless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2012 What about the fact that it was a normal deck and then it wasn't. Or when she cut the deck and he still knew what was coming next near the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2012 The cards aren't completely straight after a cut. He just put them back the way there were immediately after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2012 So? There's always a solution. I personally find tricks with simple solutions beautiful in their simplicity. It's all about illusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2012 And even if you can tell how he did it. It was an interesting way to do a card trick. With a story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2012 It was a pretty cool trick that doesn't work well when the camera's on your hands the entire time. Most tricks depend on the fact that the audience is looking away from where the trick is being pulled off, anyway (and that's clearly his intention, he separates the halves the moment Ellen looks at his face) Still a pretty cool thing to see.

Posted February 12, 2012 Personally, I find the method vastly more interesting than the trick itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2012 What happened to the lego where they didn't tell you what to build? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2012 What happened to the lego where they didn't tell you what to build? If you mean simple block sets, then they are still around. However you can actually use ALL LEGO pieces to build what you want. That is what is so good about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2012 I tried to find simple block sets once but couldn't. That's why I asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I gotta agree I don't see the appeal in lego that has very specific pieces. It's more like a schematic for a single specific toy than the building blocks you're meant to use to create something of your own invention. So? There's always a solution. I personally find tricks with simple solutions beautiful in their simplicity. It's all about illusion. It's just that I saw through this in one go. I wasn't looking for it, I didn't even know what the trick was going to entail, but I saw straight away that he didn't shuffle. No illusion for me!
