This is a worker! I love doing this all the time, and I hope it becomes one of your favorites as well!
Thank you kind sir
Great trick!
I’m commenting below you in the off-chance Brian sees this. Hey Brian, or Joe even if you can help, I wanted to ask about where can I dive deeper into the art of cheating as a whole. I’m a professional magician but lately I’ve become very fascinating with the art and philosophy behind cheating, scams, hustles especially cons and conmen. What are some underground books you’d recommend. And yeah I’ve read the books by Lovell. If you also have a roadmap to get from zero to hero conman I’d also love to hear it out
@@younesmohssen8158 I’d say take a look at Chris Dickson’s appearance on the Modern Rogue, as well as Books like Expert at the Card Table and the Steve Forte books. Cheating isnt my expertise, but I’ve heard multiple experts praise those books
Hi Joe, your trick is FANTASTIC. Thank you for showing it and teaching it.
That was my first force that i learned about 45 yrs ago. Lol.
Joe, i was wondering, Instead of talking about the Mona lisa, and the queen of spades, snd showing it, i was thinking of another common thing that we can compare to and then use a card, like you did w getting the queen and the 2 , but instead of doing the dble lift , just PRETEND to get the Queen of spades, for the mona lisa, and just talk about it, but really just get the force card and show the back of that card, being the chosen card, and put it in the matchbook, then use the deck to blow the card over, revealing the chosen card.
Its the same routine, except not doing the dble lift.
What do you think?
Is it more powerful and amazing to show the queen, then have it change to the chosen card, or just pretend to get the queen, get the chosen card, showing the back, and revealing the chosen card.
Any thoughts. Whatcha think. Just wondering.
I like your way better, but can my idea be just as amazing, some how,,?
I have officially watched too much Scam Nation. I noticed the force and was taken a bit aback by the ballsyness of it. I actually said out loud to myself, "he jsust did a double lift didn't he?"
Though I noticed the elements (for the first time ever) what makes these tricks work is Joe's always excellent story telling.
Came down here to also say that I've watched too much. Spotted the forced 2 with the false cut, moving the 2 back to the top, and the double lift. But to be fair, I knew exactly what I was looking for. To the untrained eye, this would look like magic.
Personally, I've never liked the criss-cross force, I was never able to get the time delay down, some magicians seem to require as little as 15 seconds delay but I've gone for a full 3 minutes and still got called on it, has never once worked for me the way it's supposed to. I usually use either the force Chris used in his attempt at replicating the trick, or the hindu shuffle force, despite the latter being almost as "ballsy" as the criss-cross force I've never been called on it.

Thank you for the kind words about my ballsyness…. That came out weird…. 😂
@@scamschool I'm not super surprised by their results, I will however note that A, 22 people is hardly a representative sample, and B, my distaste for the criss cross force is entirely because *I* have never gotten it to work, obviously if it works reliably for others then that's all that matters, I sincerely don't know what I'm doing wrong but I've gotten called out on it every single time I've tried it, whether people think I'm trying to trick them into taking the top (or bottom) card, or they sincerely think I lost track and are trying to be helpful, I have never once attempted that force and *not* had someone point out that the middle card wasn't the one that was cut to, but rather the top card, and I've tried various amounts of time delay so it clearly isn't a matter of not allowing for enough time to pass.
When it comes to forces, as with most "basic" techniques, the result is far more important than the method, and different things seem to work for different magicians, whether due to skill, charisma, style, whatever. So long as the audience member believes they had a free choice and they wind up with the card the magician wanted them to get, that's all that matters.
I will say that the speed complaint they list for the riffle force might depend on presentation, as I always make sure to riffle at a fairly slow and deliberate pace, allowing for plenty of time for the volunteer to call stop with little chance of going more than a couple cards beyond the time they called stop. Ultimately, it can also be important to note that every method of card selection, beyond them just naming or finding their favorite card, is random (ostensibly), so it doesn't actually matter if you go a little bit further, since it isn't like they were aiming specifically for the jack of spades or whatever, and as such whether a given method of random card selection feels "fair" or not is probably heavily influenced by how the magician presents the method.
I don't know if my audience members feel my riffle force is "fair" because, as noted is common in the article, I have never asked, but I will note that I've never had anyone express issue or dissatisfaction with it the way I have with the criss cross force. I do believe that it must be something about the way *I* present them that is making the difference, however.
I've always liked that The Jerx tries to take a more scientific approach to this stuff, but their methodology is flawed in that their scope is too narrow, for a lot of their findings to be an accurate representation of things they'd need to survey a significantly larger sample size AND they'd need a fairly broad variety of magicians/presenters to account for any unintentional bias that might result from their style. Naturally they probably aren't set up for such a thing, and they do make a good point that we should be more scientific in how we approach things, so it's a step in the right direction but I'd be about as wary of taking their findings as gospel as I would be of taking the claims of any other magic writer about what "works" or what's "the best" way to do something.
Being an "outsider" to magic, and only knowing one very long, very telegraphed trick by heart, I'm always impressed at these videos. Thank you, Brian & Co., for the great videos over the years. I've been watching you since, in the words of Jason Murphy (in the MR episode where Brian forgot the name of the Statue of Liberty), you were just "spiky magician." Thanks for keeping us weirdos company for this long, Brushwood!
GOD DAMN IT! THOSE FORCES WERE AS SMOOOTH AS IT GETS! Both Cris's AND Joe's... Congratulations, guys! Hope I can learn more cool tricks like those from you all!
That's funny, because when Joe picked up the top section, I immediately went "hold on a sec" and rewound to check if it was forced.
Thanks! It’s my favorite force
I saw the force in process, proud of myself I'm learning.
yay, my magician brain is growing. I actually noticed the force this time, lol
Both renditions of the handling were very good. But the patter for the second was soooo good 😂
Totally fair 😂
😂😂😂 I believe you mean my ability to BS lol
@@homegroancomedy "That's not flying... That's falling with style!" - Buzz (the original Toy Story movie)
Thanks for the simple force at control.
Work smart 😁👏
Exactly 😂
Ohhhh!! He's name is Diamond because he's so brilliant!! I get it now!
I love how we get to see the same trick done 2 different ways. This really shows the flexibility and creativity magicians have when performing tricks. Yes there are main critical points you have to hit to make the trick work, but the overall execution of those points is in the magician's hands and each can play to their own strengths to put their own personal touch onto the trick to make it their own.
You can tell some jamming was done with that portable felt. It would be fun to watch what kind of stuff you guys throw at each other
Yes!!
I talk a lot abt cons and stuff when I do magic and I incorporate pickpocketing routines and things, so I will absolutely be adding this trick to my repertoire with the little factoid abt the Mona Lisa being the most stolen painting
This trick is a damn masterpiece.
Right? So good!
I had most of the stuff in this video down but I had to watch Chris' force a few times to understand how it worked, can't believe I've not seen that version considering I'm a huge fan of the under-peel to force the bottom.
i think this trick is great! i think another riff on this that could make it more generic could be to use the phrase "art is in the eye of the beholder" in place of the "two hearts" phrase Joe used. That way you could force any card and kind of get the same structure of the story. just thinking of ideas to play with the word game!
I normally use the Cross Cut to force the bottom card, so when the cards were cut and Joe forced the top card I was very confused 😂
Now what the hell did Chris do?!
I don't want to give it totally away but... watch his left (bottom hand's) fingers when he performs the "stop" and pulls the top cards away.
@@jonathank4927 dude, well spotted! 😂
IIRC that's the riffle force, might have a few other names but I think that is what it was called when I learned it.
The very first card trick I learned (Involving a sleight) when I was 13 or so, was having a card chosen, finding the wrong card, laying that card on the table as I "tried again" to find their card and then finally making the tabled card change to the chosen card. That trick evolved A LOT over the years and now it is about to evolve again into this Mona Lisa version. THANK YOU for showing this! What a great idea!
Oh yeah! I never had a name for that trick but now I do!!!
So cool! We’re always learning & evolving!
Picked it up! Top cut. Double lift. I'm gett'in salty!
Love it. The best effects often use very simple principles.
Exactly
That is awesome 😊👍😊👍
Ok but where’d you get that presentation mat?!
It was made custom for me by a fan of my erdnase work.. you should’ve see the inside!! It has a hidden compartment that houses a ton of gambling cheat devices!
@@homegroancomedy Oof, it's magnificent. Thanks for sharing Chris!
Really cool trick!
Thank you
Where do you guys get the magic card mats
If I owned rare books on magic, pretty sure I'd have it memorized cover to cover
I believe you... for the first 99 or so...

Lol 100, 200, or 300... knowledge is power
Brian is the best fake laugher ever!
Can’t find the full episode

Joe Diamond never disappoints. But this was an easy trick. Wonder why the other two magicians didn't catch it. 🤷🏻♂️
Am I right, Joe?
I think the premise & story need to be engaging in order to draw in people who may know the technique you’re using
Is it bad that the title of this video fooled me? For some reason I read it as “Diamond Jim” and I waited for him the entire video…….
do magicians fall for easy card forces?
No they are just polite lol
Love it boys, although not necessary, you could have the 2 hearts signed, as if they are signing their 'masterpiece. And that you are stealing their painting..... Just a thought
Talking of poker, can you imagine these guys gambling with each other and the insane cheating that would occur?
😂
I'm assuming the card is forced or was it pure coincidence that Joe got the same card?
😂😂😂😂
This one was dumb. The guy cut the deck and the other guy pur the rest of the cards on top, then distracted him so that when the magician took the pile off the top, the guy didn't realize that he just actually pulled the original top card. I'm no magic buff, and I saw this. Bad trick.
Not a bad trick, just not the trick for you. Having used that force myself, you'd be amazed at how well it works in the real world.
@@sensorcelled exactly. And the creator of this worked for $1000 a night at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas while others were saying “Bad Trick” 😂
