  • Learn this easy-to-do card trick. In-depth details! Elevator to Portal! Based on the original 'Elevator' card trick called Penetration by Ed Marlo, which was published in the 1940's.
    elevator [el.e.va.tor] 1. one who or that which elevates or raises. 2. a moving platform or cage for conveying goods, persons, etc., from one level to another, as in a building.
    portal [por.tal] 1. a door, gate, or entrance, esp. one of imposing appearance, as in a palace.
    The American College Dictionary '1953'
    "People are not fooled by what they see, they're fooled by what they think they see." ~ Harry Lorayne

    Again. I love that you teach packet tricks. They are so underrated, under used, and under appreciated. It’s ridiculous too bc every layperson is always really into them if presented correctly. It’s almost as if subconsciously they believe it couldn’t be possible to do magic with 3-4 cards.

  • @deliro8758
    @deliro8758 Před 5 lety +41

    I always think that magicians are overestimating the secret parts of their tricks. The trick itself is cool but most people wonder about what happened while it's actually much more fascinating how these sleight of hands are done. Takes so much effort, practice and performance skills to pull even such a basic trick off

      he spreads out the the 4 cards leaving 2 cards shown and a stack of 2 cards as the 3rd card. He then flips the 2 cards over in a way where it only shows it as 1 card. Then he flips it back and puts down the top card which is the 7 of spades

    So I know learning the secret of a magic trick usually takes the fun out of it... but honestly, I think I am equally impressed by how this is done as I was when it was done. I am now a firm believer that there is magic at a magic show... but it isn't the tricks, the magic is the magicians hands. I would think you have to practice this literally hundreds of times to get good enough at it to be the magicians you see on t.v.

    Amazing trick as usual! Hats off to you! The best part about all your card tricks is that you explain each and every step in a perfect way. Every little moves & holding the cards. And you kind of do that twice or thrice while explaining which is a kind of revision that helps to grasp easily. Waiting for more card tricks. More monte tricks (without gimmicks or special preparation) & I would love to learn the four ace production from you! Once again, thank you for this amazing trick 👏👍

    Nice trick thanks for demonstrating the double lift flourish. So many magicians do that part without teaching it.
    I quite like the idea of shoving the three in the middle and saying it got stuck between floors, let's bring it up! Then let them examine the deck.
    Also, if you get the three cards at the beginning by fetching them from the deck to its face, it makes it easier to add the dummy card issuing a pinky break.

      You’re picking up two cards while only revealing the bottom card of the two, hence why you saw the 3 but he placed down the seven, he did a second double lift so you saw the two but he placed the 3, with the ace and two still in his hand he presents it without a flip so only the ace is revealed, the two and ace is set on top of the deck but the two is actually placed on the bottom
