Avoid this SCAM in Las Vegas! 👀🔥 NEW WAVE by Joao Miranda and Victor Sanz

This video serves as a cautionary tale and a review of 'New Wave,' a trick created by Joao Miranda and Victor Sanz, experienced firsthand by the creator in Las Vegas. He recounts being targeted by a street performer using this deceptive illusion, which involves a seemingly impossible prediction where the performer claims to know the card a spectator will choose. The trick utilizes a series of choices – a four-of-a-kind, color (red or black), and suit (hearts or diamonds) – leading the spectator to believe their choice was predetermined. While the video doesn't reveal the method, the creator speculates on possible techniques, suggesting a combination of misdirection, psychological manipulation, and a clever setup involving colored bags. The creator strongly condemns the unethical way the trick was presented, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and avoiding such deceptive practices that exploit spectators. Despite the negative experience, he acknowledges the ingenuity and deceptive power of 'New Wave,' appreciating the skill required to execute it effectively.
