YOU NEED These Card Controls in Your ARSENAL!!🔥🤯 #shorts
This short and energetic tutorial from RFSleights focuses on two essential card controls for any magician: the Double Undercut and a variation of the Bottom Deal. The video emphasizes the deceptive simplicity of both techniques, demonstrating how they can be used to subtly influence spectator choices. The Double Undercut allows a spectator's touched card to be secretly controlled to the top of the deck, with the specific card being almost irrelevant to the method. Following this, RFSleights showcases a bottom deal control, where a group of cards (four aces) can be left anywhere in the deck and subsequently controlled to the bottom with a simple snap. This is then linked to a routine where a spectator names a card and a number, and the magician can accurately reveal that card in the specified position within the deck, even after handing the deck to the spectator for a free deal. The creator advocates for a natural and confident handling style, highlighting the importance of handing the deck to the spectator to enhance the illusion of fairness and unpredictability. Ultimately, RFSleights believes these two controls are fundamental building blocks for a magician's repertoire, encouraging viewers to practice them diligently for a smooth and deceptive performance.
