How to FOOL Magicians with a Card to Pocket - TUTORIAL

This tutorial, presented by Lloyd, dives into a deceptively simple yet highly effective card to pocket routine designed to fool even experienced magicians. Lloyd clarifies that the effect is achieved through pure sleight of hand, with no duplicates or forcing involved. The core of his method revolves around a card control technique he calls the Premier Control, originally shared on the Magic Cafe and later released with a magic company. He highlights the subtle nuances that differentiate his version from Steve Draza's Circle Control, making it more practical for real-world performance. Lloyd meticulously breaks down the Premier Control, emphasizing the importance of spreading the cards, a crucial pinky break, a specific overlaying motion, squaring the deck, and a wide one-handed top palm. He also demonstrates tossing the deck back into the other hand, a technique he attributes to Marlo, and using finger motion to reinforce the impression of an empty hand. Throughout the demonstration, Lloyd underscores the importance of naturalness and misdirection, encouraging magicians to explore his Patreon for exclusive content and emphasizing that the routine's effectiveness lies in its deceptive simplicity and the subtle nuances of the Premier Control.
