Bill Malone is the greatest close up card magician today. This guy is very very talented. There may be slightly more skilled magicians or at least more flamboyant by Bill has the best presentation of anyone I know by light years. With the unfortunate death of Ricky Jay he is the leading magician of the day.
As a magician the 21 card trick always seems to be the easiest trick ever and I'm always understimated this trick, but after seeing Bill's performance, I changed my mind a lot
Saw Bill Live at Blackpool Magic convention in the UK, I learned his version of Sam the Bell hop... he is very very skilled and doesn't need trick or gimmicked cards. He says he reads through 600 replies to hecklers and such before every performance, he sure can talk the talk!
I'm noob but... the chosen pile's in the middle, he shuffles and cuts so the top 3 cards revealed come from the chosen pile, so when she says which pile the card is in, the trick is done. He also shuffled so 3 are on the bottom as well, so if she says "no" when he "assumes" she already saw the card, he knows it's one of the 3 bottom cards. 1 card out of 7 is remaining though... in the middle ? Would he ask a 2nd time just after he reveals the middle card ?
It works only for the third part of the trick. How do you explain it with all 3 packs shuffled separately in the first part and the whole 21 cards shuffled in the second part?
I know how 2 do part 1 and 3, but the part 2 is like WOW!!!!!!!!! i mean he must have known the bottom card, but i have no idea when he looked at it, it looks so legit!!!
Part 2 is actually a bit tricky. He knows the card which is at the top of those 7 cards. He then relies on Scotty shuffling them a specific way (one card by one), and not for too long. (That's also why he asks him to stop shuffling fairly quickly). It's important that they're shuffled this way because now the top card is at the bottom, and Bill knows exactly which card it is. And that's the whole trick. After that they can shuffle the cards all they want, because he already knows which card to look for.
it's funny how you say that, because i thought the second phase was easiest, last phase only a few % harder (still easy), but the 1st phase..i must be missing something lol
phase 2 is pretty simple. Bill spreads the cards to see the top card of each pile. Since scotty peels off top card to bottom when he shuffles he can stop him before he puts another card under it! simple but effective
Years ago I invented my own version, with lots of shuffles and also a story to go with it. The story involved treasures offered annually at a temple with altars to three gods, with one of the treasures being a disguised magical artifact. A wandering magician steals the treasure, and the angered gods scatter it far and wide, but not before the magician casts a spell that guarantees he will someday recover the artifact. I am not going to tell CZcams how it was done.
Briliiant ... the 2nd phase is pretty tricky but I got it.. very clever, a little too risky.. But I wont be a heckler.. if anybody wanna know how... =]
I was trying to figure out the second phase and I just couldn't get it. I understand the counting in parts one and three. Any way you can point me to an explanation?
I just figured out phase 2 and came up with a simple way to recover if it doesn't go as planned. Its simply brilliant if it does turn out, but having multiple outs prepared is important :)
It's been a year so I had to replay the video. Well all he does is spreading the piles and watching the bottom card of each one (top one when facing down). When the spectator picks a pile, he remembers the top card of the pile, in this case, the Ace of Hearts. He ask him to shuffel the pile, now he's counting on the method of the shuffeling, watch how the spectator moves the Ace of Hearts to the bottom, then Bill ask him to stop and look at the bottom card, which he knows that it's the Ace of Hearts and the rest is an act. This is why it's tricky because you cannot be sure how he will mess up the cards so you must have a plan B Good luck =]
Phase one. Easy. Phase 2 could have been phase 3 if he shuffled them differently. Note when shuffling small packets people towns to shuffle one card at a time. If he shuffled them too much then he would have proceeded to phase 3, and only had 2 phases.
@@Tumua_ You See he puts the cards face up so he knows the top card of every packet, when the spectator shuffles the cards, first he thumbs off the first card and completes his shuffle, before the spectator begins to shuffle again bill says to him stop and look at the bottom card, that is how he knew it in the performens, he said in the tape i got lucky with This but he offered diffrent methods if the spectator does not thumb off the first card, methods like peeking etc...
So if Scotty wouldn't have shuffled it one-by-one, he would not be able to perform the trick? Anyway this trick must take a lot effort to remember all the cards of every pile in the right order
He knows the exact amount of cards. When he puts out the three stacks face up. He memorizes every card. When Scotty picks up the pack, he shuffles it one-by-one. So Bill knows what card is on the bottom when he tells him to stop. Didn't matter how Scotty shuffled the stacks combined, all he needs to remember is the card Scotty chose.
only works when you're the one shuffling it. in this trick bill lets the spectators shuffle it so unless there in on it or he uses a force, there's no way i can figure this out and your theory is wrong
There are three stacks of seven. Hes placing the chosen card in the 14th position and then when he is "shuffling" hes actually counting down to the 14th card with a few beautiful flourished and cuts to throw you off. Although when the second guy shuffled the whole thing I thought it was going to mess him up but somehow he recovered. That Id like to know.
He see's that the top card goes to the bottom (during the shuffle) and tells the guy to stop before they are shuffled more. He then tells the guy to look at the bottom card. This is just a guess.
Stripper deck. Chosen card rotated 180 degrees. It takes a bit of faith on Bill's part that nobody rotates any other card while they shuffle (very, very small chance -- especially if they don't know what a stripper deck is). If they do, he has a recovery (maybe two or more) planned. Since things came out right, he didn't need the recovery so we don't know what it would have been.
+Shōgun Logun No stripper needed here. Without giving the method away completely I'll just say it's more mental than technical or mechanical. After scrolling further through the comments I see the method has already been spoiled, but I'd still suggest you buy the material and learn it from the man himself. Not only is there great material in the set, but he has some great tips and suggestions to help you out if you really want to be a performer.
What an awesome version!
Bill Malone is my hero.
One of the most amazing performers of all time...
Also GOOD GOD that lady's nails! And how many freaking RINGS she has...
BILL MA-LONE!
Yes, best presentation and sleight-of-hand artist!
This guy is so entertaining. 🙂

"Today"? Is he still working? All I ever see on CZcams is stuff from 20+ years ago.
Yet another brilliant performance!
hes amazing, and one of the guys who i saw on tv as a kid.

amazing!
Bill Malone is truly a master with card tricks.
The Great Bill malone
Love the trick, i can do the selights now just to work on my presentation for this trick
Brilliant
its self working controling the position and order of cards
but the second version fooled me
any trick is funny with Bill Malone performing lol
amazing l0l

Daaaaang, this is impressive. There has to be something in how they shuffle.
Last one is so easy to figure out but the others are aweaome good job mr malone
the second phase is crazy.
Watching these ladies shuffling is painful!
i can do a version of this ... always works .....but bill malone is a true master ......unbelievable skills ...
where do you buy the whole set? I'm interested in learning how this trick is done
I have the finally solution, thank you, congratulation Malone ! :)
is it worth to buy this volume? do i need to have seen the previous volumes to understand what happens?
BM : ..have you heard of the 21 Card Trick?

Well then tell us about it
I finally figure how he does all 3 of them :D
how?
I can't figure out phase two...
I bet he could do a sick rear palm. I wish I had bigger hands
my favorite trick until now. After I figured it out I use it every time I perform card tricks
Wtf bro tell us how to do it lol

the good thing about it is that if phase 2 doesn't go as planned, he can move straight into phase 3 as a backup plan.
Hi I have no idea how this is done. Can anyone let me know. Thanks
I have a tutorial on my channel! Make sure you check it out

I just don't know how he does the 1st phase, I know the other 2 though
u sure you've been doing magic for 4 years? O.o
Do you know the twenty one card trick?

Makes Jason Ladanye look bad!
Can someone please explain to me phase 2.
6 years later, I figured out phase two which could have been phase 3 but wasn’t. Well played bill. Well played.
@@d_e_a_n Dude that is consistant coming back 6 years later to figure it out.
Phase one. Easy.

U gotta stop person shuffling when he reaches last card.
That seems a bit of a stretch to rely on that. What if someone riffle shuffles?
Me gustaria saber lo que habla, si alguien fuera tan amable de agregarle subtitulos al español :p
Last phase of the trick, easy. 1st phase of the trick, a little harder, but it can be figured out. The second phase, I have no clue.
@DerRitterFIPS I think dani daortiz's version is even better
tommy wonder is like that to.
@soemad5 I know i got 5 of them :D I accepted, I'm fooled :)

I know how he did the first trick but i pass at the second one
where can i get this effect please guys
buy his DVD Series : Malone Meets Marlo, there are six volumes with a lot of good tricks
Ok great thankyou
No problem man
Best Version of this trick and it has only 428 views!! I figured it out by the way...
the girl has scary nails
So if Scotty wouldn't have shuffled it one-by-one, he would not be able to perform the trick?
Anyway this trick must take a lot effort to remember all the cards of every pile in the right order
I actally know the secret to the second one he did
Haha everyone wants to know how it's done, just enjoy it, geash
Knowing the trick and performing it yourself is fun too, jeez

It's a math trick.
clever based on a dia vernon idea have you seen it yet!
such a easy simple trick but yet soooooo sooooo fooling
only works when you're the one shuffling it. in this trick bill lets the spectators shuffle it so unless there in on it or he uses a force, there's no way i can figure this out and your theory is wrong
in the last scene the others couldnt have known what her card was but still clapped. rigged
They could see her reaction you dullard.
This trick is Very simple. 3 piles of seven. The bottom card in the middle pile is theirs. so, shuffle off the top 13 cards, and theirs is on the top.

Is it a stripper deck? Otherwise I (a magician for about 4 years) am seriously fooled...
No its not, can be done with a normal deck
its 1000000% impromptu

+Dave Mitchell nope not correct
+Poecky Yes, correct. I've done the trick myself many times.
+Dave Mitchell well, it's a solution you might use, but it's definitely not what BM uses in any of his 3 phases (:
