Anyone know how this is done?

I figured out how he did the 10 of spades part, he kept putting the 10 of spades back if you watch closely you can see it. He keeps the 10 of spades at the bottom the entire time and keeps sliding the other 3 cards back from the top.

Ok I figured it out, he has the 2 of hearts, the 10 of spades, king of clubs and king of diamonds the entire time, and switches the kinds out at the end, much the same way he switches out the 10 of spades. I still can't see him siwtching the 2 of hearts. If you mute it, it destroys the trick.

That trick although it looks very sneaky can be done pretty easily. My friend learned it through some book. You don't even need a rigged deck or anything. You just need to be really quick with your hands but still make it look like you only have one card, when infact you are holding 2 cards at once. Once you have the movements/senario down it's easy to do.

That's Jumping Gemini, a great illusion originally thought of by the legendary magician Darwin Ortiz. I learned it from Michael Ammar's Easy To Master Card Miracles volume 6 (pretty sure it was 6) and use it in my routine quite often.

Great thing about the effect is it is completely ungaffed, ie. the cards are just normal playing cards. It's done with nothing but sleight of hand. The trick starts with 4 (yes, 4, no more no less) different cards and ends with the exact same 4 cards.

Since it's an effect I perform I aint gonna tell you exactly how it's done, but I will tell you it involves a hell of a lot of block push-offs and double lifts, as well as some fake counts. Oh, and SAJN, it's not 'pretty easy' to do! It takes a lot of practice to be able to handle cards that well. I've been performing Jumping Gemini for a good few months now and still have it far from perfect.

It's a really neat effect

They have over 3000 videos, mostly recorded with webcams like that one, of amateurs performing magic. I can spend hours there...

Man, this talk of magic has got me thinking of David Blaine. I swear that that man actually has magic powers. Seriously.

Hah. No he doesnt. He's just a freakishly good performer.

But I do
