Chris Pratt Card Trick IMPROVED - Tutorial
PigCakee presents an engaging tutorial on an improved card trick inspired by Chris Pratt, aiming for a more deceptive and streamlined performance. This trick cleverly avoids the need for a 'Glide,' a move PigCakee considers outdated. The core of the routine involves a spectator selecting a card, which seemingly vanishes within the deck before the magician, with apparent intuition, locates and reveals it. PigCakee emphasizes the importance of misdirection, creating the illusion of failure to heighten the surprise of the reveal, and encourages a playful, confident presentation style. He details key techniques like the pinky break, thumb break, and double lift, and even suggests the Elmsley count for added concealment. He also shares that he'll be at Magic Live in Las Vegas, selling his new trick 'Hotspot' and 'Missing Piece' deck, offering a 20% discount on his books with the code 'PIGFACE,' and potentially performing the trick at the Alakazam booth. For those looking to refine their skills, PigCakee directs viewers to his PigCake Magic Academy for tutorials on essential techniques like double lifts and controls.
