    i think the cards are fake, as in not a real playing card. Look at the kings when he flips them over.

    Ok, so I agree they're not Bicycle. But show me a card that can do that.

    Hmmmm

    Shows King Diamonds, puts on top of deck, then puts a card on table.

    Shows King Clubs, puts on top of deck, then puts a card on the table.

    Shows King Diamonds and King Clubs again.

    I'll bet they're real.

    Wow!

    Thats cool as hell!

    And of course there is a trick to it, thats what magic tricks are all about. Doesnt make it any less cool because we cant figure out what that trick is.

    It's got to be in the different way the cards are turned. Watch closely. Sometimes he flips them side-to-side, sometimes end-over-end, and sometimes spun 180 degrees. He's very smooth though... very cool.

    "It's got to be in the different way the cards are turned."

    I highly doubt it. He shows the cards from WAY too many angles for them to be multi-image/multi-angle cards. When they change from the 2 of hearts to the 10 of spades, the cards are still the same direction. That's just sick.

    Some pretty good slight of hand there, but I've seen similar trick decks before. SOPA'd the trick for those that don't want to know...

    They only included one regulation deck and a second deck of one card that was all the same. This deck only adds a third "all the same card" deck. The additional decks are slightly smaller than the regulation deck and depend on static cling to adhere to each other.

    I'm not sure if he's working 2 - Heart 2's and 2 - Spade 10's or four of each. In other words it's not a deck of 52, but a deck of either 104 or 156... available at any magic shop.

    Watch closely how he handles them, flipping to show all the same vs. rubbing off when changing.
    When he first works the 2's, he moves one to the top and then when he moves it to the bottom you can see a second card slide out for a split second.
    When he shows the Kings at the end, he starts by grabbing them by the top and bottom edges (only time he does this)
    There are two Kings of Diamonds and 2 Kings of Clubs, not 4 different kings.
    When he shows the 10 of spades the second time through, it's always the bottom card in his right hand.

    And while I'm at it, there is no Santa Claus...
    More later,

    That is amazing. I don't think there is any illusion, just quick fingers and hands. The four cards are 2 kings, a 2 and a 10. AMAZING

    But thats still a lot to keep up with! Even with a rigged deck it would be hard to pull off.

    Watch David Blaine ("Street Magic") some time. I t hink that guy does real magic. The things he does are impossible unless they're completely staged.

    Tour- I've got a deck like you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure he's doing it with straight up slight of hand. If you watch the edges of the cards you can see where he's not moving the ones you think he is.
