Great trick. I love all the people breaking their arms patting themselves on the back for seeing it...on camera...with only the two men and glass in frame...knowing the NAME of the trick in advance, and even THEN probably rewinding before making themselves feel astute in the comments.
I am a club level tennis player who practices regularly. When I watch Rodger Federer hit a tennis ball and know that I will never achieve that level of mastery. I am also an amateur magician. That means I know enough about magic to realize how masterful Mr. Swiss is in this short video. Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.
Mr. Swiss, you are truly a master. Your article from the New Yorker ("The Real Work") is absolutely one of my most prized documents. It inspired me to be a better performer and a better all around magician. It is rare in this new age of magic (though I am part of it) to find an abundance of magicians who truly THINK about their art. Words cannot express my respect for your outlook on the art. Inspiring.
I appreciate the kind words. The combination with "Reflex" (the original title) is my own, and I would very much appreciate that you not use it. For the record: Performance is not publication. That said, I do thank you sincerely for asking.
The timing of putting the card under the glass was remarkable!
this is the first time I've ever even heard of this guy. Right off the bat I instantly love him. I'm an instant fan and I will sub right away.

Shows that it’s not a good trick to put on TV though.
Credits: It's really just a combination of two effects viz. Paul Harris' Wack your Pack routined with Doc Eason's card under glass..

I can't believe that (as I watch this) there have only been 1984 views. I know that I have watched this about 1243 times. Damn he's good.

nice routine.
I love basically what hes trying to say is dont play poker with him youll lose everyth8ng very simple ..
I watched it twice and SAW you slip the card under the glass, BUT your moves are really slick. Feel free to take me for $10 anytime!
why did you cut your hair and remove your beard? you looked so much cooler back then. a great artist should look like an artist
awesome...:) i saw the moves..:)
Omg I saw how he did it
tricks cant fool the camera mate.
