2 tips on card controls : If you feel overwhelmed and just want to use simple controls choose the card control that fits best the: 1. the way you are displaying the cards for a selection . For example if you do it from a fan you can you Paul le Paul automatic jog control . If you like to control from a spread cull control is a good option to. 2. Your way of shuffling after inserting the selection in the deck : If you like to do an overhand shuffle after loosing the card in the deck you can use the mahatma control , if you like to riffle shuffle after loosing the card in the deck I would suggest you the consistent control by R.Paul Wilson. Both of these 2 controls are excellent, are angle proof and will give you the possibility of having a glimpse of the card while during the shuffle. If you do not like shuffling after losing the card in the deck I would suggest you Dan & Dave DMB spread control ( Franco Pascali & Alex Hanford version are great) It will also depend on the context of the trick you are doing.
@mohamednayad great advice!! 100% agree with the degrees of freedom. The way in which you have a card chosen, must match the way you control it. Or at least as close as possible. Dribble for a selection, do a dribble control.
That is fantastic control and one i've not heard of. Really well taught. Kind of reminds me of the miller cascade but broken into two parts. On the theme of pass substitutes, would you do a breakdown of the Cervon free turn pass and how to cover the angles by any chance? I think a series going over a few pass substitutes could be good even if some are a bit more advanced
Absolutely super-duper control Sean. Thanks for this video. Having some difficulties when deck is only 50% in one hand to out-control the target card... perhaps some ideas for improvement will be appreciated...cheers..
This is fantastic man.. it's great man.. but seriously wow 0.o with the dribble that is practically invisible! I'm still struggling with my dribble, but I will most definitely be adding the reversal to my repertoire! Thanks for sharing and teaching 👍🤓👍
This will look even better if you get used to do "the move" while having your pointer finger in front of the deck (like you have normally and in a relaxed state) It's a little bit harder to pull down with the pinky. But trust me it's worth it. 🤗
Cool! You make it look so soft. My first thought would be to raise the rest of the deck to the fingertips while tilting it to meet the controlled card. In a soft sqauring the deck type of action. You make it look really good, but I have this tendency to «add» the card to the top after the dribble. And it looks a little unatural in my hands. So to compensate I try to raise the deck towards the card instead. Not sure about angles when doing that yet. I love practicing new moves! Thanks for sharing. Oh here comes another idea. I think Jack Tighe, in relation to a different move, mentions moving the top portion of the deck in front of the lower portion as you turn your head away and show the selection. Now it is more «natural» that the top portion comes from the front and back towards the body as they are dribbled. Since that is where they are waiting when you show the selection. Just ideas and thoughts. Haven’t worked on them yet, so maybe I am just cluttering the move :)
Great card control Sean, u probably r not aware but that pinky move is harder for women to do especially the fewer cards u r holding. Thank you for ur vast knowledge!
I dislike angly moves intensely - I prefer to know I can do everything I can do while surrounded - but do love the elegant simplicity of this one. Thanks for sharing.
I need to read more, accidently discovered this when I was messing around with a deck and was practicing the top shot. Thought I had something that was mine dammit.
Thanks for this great tutorial video! but when i do the move, the selection makes some noise with dribbled cards. sounds like dadadada. how can i do the dribble move without making this odd sound? is there any tip for this?
Hey Sean, thanks for another nice move. Can you, like the videos with multiple different cuts or counts, do a video with multiple effects or uses for a double faces or a double backer card please? I love finding a chapter in some old book where it lists those cos i love tricks that use especially the double backer as I think itnis so simple it's pure genius! But I'm crap at making up tricks with one and I don't know enough of them! Thanks again mate 🎲🃏♣️♥️♠️♦️🃏🎲
This is a easy pass but wouldnt say its the best of all time lol 😮💨 Diagonal palm shift the selected card to the top and finish with a dribble looks better in my opinion because you dont need all the cover 🙌🏼 Regardless good video like always, love ya man
It depends on what criteria you think 'best' requires. Cos this Is so much easier than a DPS for most people then it is already better than a DPS for that reason alone. Remember, a move should be rated by the effect from the audience point of view not the magicians. If the move is easier then the chances are most magicians will do it really well and so the audience will have a better experience than if they are watching a complex sleight being done poorly. Of course, magicians shouldn't be even trying a sleight in front of an audience if they can't do it really well but try telling most magicians that. . . 🤣
@@paulhamj6175 I do totally agree that laymen dont know how hard or complex the sleights are when youre showing them a trick, so sometimes simplicity is the best… As a magician though(and i am far from a magician) I personally like trying to see what i can get away with… i love the feeling when you do a nacky force or control and it goes unseen To the spectator it looks as if i dribbled the cards and shuffled normally… but instead i forced a duplicate card, dps’d it to the top, shuffled it 4th from the top lol Same end result a million roads to get there… and then a million roads that branch off after youre at that spot lol… you do a couple ambitious cards and than boom duplicate in the wallet lol… and thats why i enjoy it so much 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@jeffreykemp7327 I am with you there,....I am always trying the boldest move I can try and get away with because I absolutely love getting away with them haha! Not been caught hardly more than a few times when I started out!
The best control is the one that doesn’t look like a control. The hands and fingers should look as natural as possible so if you open your palm up like your doing a color change, the spectator will know that something happened. They don’t know what, but they lose a bit of their assurance that all is fair if you do something that isn’t natural. David Ortiz’s “Strong Magic” deals a lot with the psyche of the spectator and this control (while it looks good) is not the best for a lay person. For a magician? Sure. Appreciate the art. But for a lay person, the more natural one is best. Even an “Oops Control” is better because it’s an off-beat control.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!!
w veiwer
This is genuinely brilliant! So simple but yet so versatile. You can never have too many options to control a card.
Just getting into card control and feel a little overwhelmed by all the different moves out there but this one is super cool. Thanks.

This is elegant! Great video sir. And thank you.
This is awesome, thank you!
So smooth…you are definitely a MASTER card magician!
molto interessante, è simile al FAN CONTROL di Pandrea, stesso concetto ma sfruttato bene, grazie !
Excellent!!!👏👏👏 A huge hug from Argentina
Love it! Thanks for sharing. 👍

That was awesome,thank you very much!
Great content as always! Keep it up!
Awesome control!!!
i always wondered how that move works but didnt knew what its called. Soo yes i did learn something new today. Thanks Sean :)
Great tutorial as always. Also, I love the new cards. I just got my packs last week and I love them. I hope you do too.
Very cool and a smooth one 😎 👌
Gonna master this 🔥
Fantastic...
And your teaching method is marvelous.. you should be teacher in any school/college... LOVE FROM INDIA...

This is a great move Sean! A little advanced for me right now but I can always start practicing it.
Love the move!

Omg, it’s really not that harder and now I wonder why I’ve been doing Cardini color change in the other position all the time… thanks!

Man that's a great one 🏆🏆 Love it for sure!
Thanks Jorge!! Glad you like it!
I love it!!!
So good. Another tool for our arsenal!
such a nice move!
Sean, this is the best control. It's also pretty much angle proof. Thanks a bunch bud!
You can also use it to reverse the card under the top packet so it's the other way around in the middle of the deck.
That’s sweet!
Great card control Sean, u probably r not aware but that pinky move is harder for women to do especially the fewer cards u r holding. Thank you for ur vast knowledge!
I dislike angly moves intensely - I prefer to know I can do everything I can do while surrounded - but do love the elegant simplicity of this one. Thanks for sharing.
I know this move as "WOW CONTROL" by OLMAC
I need to read more, accidently discovered this when I was messing around with a deck and was practicing the top shot. Thought I had something that was mine dammit.
Grazie.
Thank you!!! ♥️♥️

A double face/double back video is on my list!
@@SeanDevine I hoped it might be! Cheers!!!!
It's deff fun to learn but why would this be the "best" ? There are so many controls that are 100% angle proof and far more practical.
Holy shit that’s good
This is The Wow Control by Olmac !
I’ve never heard of that. But per the history of the move that I explained in the video, the person you mentioned did not create it.
This is a easy pass but wouldnt say its the best of all time lol 😮💨

Anybody has the trouble with the sound when we dribble??
4 of spades
Yup lol.
I still say DPS is best control for its multiple uses but this top 5 easy. Louise control by ever so sleight is up there too
🤟❤
I like the control, but i dont like the noise of dribbling cards against the controlled card. :/
Only u know that noise is from the controlled card the spectator will think it’s from dribbling.
c'est le controle de Cardini
Funnily i stumble upon this when messing around with card control. I thought i found a new card control, but i guess it already existed 😂
Happens to me ALOT!!
Happens to me all the time lol.
