00:00OK, I'll do it for you.

00:02Obviously, the world's best card is the one you've got.

00:04So, you put it down there.

00:06You can't swap it with anyone you want.

00:08Have a good look at it.

00:10Try and watch it.

00:12You've got it?

00:14OK, watch closely.

00:16Place it back in its deck.

00:18About half-side.

00:20Find your card.

00:22I'm going to need a few helpers.

00:241, 2, 3, 4.

00:26You might recognise it.

00:28It's a red card, am I right?

00:30It's a half.

00:32I also think it might be a ten.

00:34It's a ten of hearts.

00:36You can't afford them if you're a simple idiot.

00:38You don't even have to show your card.

00:44By the way, my back pocket down here should be

00:46there's a ten of hearts right down there.

00:48I've got that in there, haven't I?

00:50Whilst I'm playing with you,

00:52I'm going to make an old man happy.

00:54Ha ha ha!

00:56Leave the borazers at the top of the deck.

00:58Watch closely.

01:00When we shuffle these cards,

01:02we shuffle overhand like we're doing now.

01:04In America, when they shuffle,

01:06they do what they call a barrow shuffle.

01:08It should be done at the hands.

01:10On the table, I'll do it at the hands.

01:12Look at that.

01:14That's really, really good.

01:16Look at that.

01:18I'm going to try and

01:20put the pieces one by one.

01:22I'm going to try and put them one by one.

01:24I'm going to make sure it's square.

01:26Make sure there's no arrows or bends or crimps in the deck.

01:28I'm going to try and reach over

01:30and putt to an ace if I can.

01:32That should be the first one.

01:34There's no ace there.

01:36There's two ways of doing this.

01:38Of course, the way we're doing it now.

01:40What a bunch, eh?

01:42The second one.

01:44I have worked on an old photo before, you know.

01:46You alright, Mr. Lee?

01:48How are you?

01:50If I do this correctly,

01:52I can get those ace of hearts, no ace there, no ace.

01:54I can do the third one without looking.

01:56I won't even look this time.

01:58The third ace is exactly,

02:00let me have a look here,

02:0215 from top, 15 cards.

02:04What does this mean?

02:061, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

02:0811, 12, 13, 14, 15.

02:10No ace there, no ace there, no ace there.

02:12I'll do it one last time.

02:14We've got three aces.

02:16The last one is the ace of clubs.

02:18There it is.

02:20I'm going to show you one more.

02:22Not with a full deck,

02:24because I've not been working with a full deck for many years.

02:26Four playing cards here.

02:28Four playing cards.

02:30Now, three blacks and a red one.

02:32What you've got to do is, Adam,

02:34keep an eye on the red one.

02:36Where is the red one now?

02:38Very good.

02:40You've won your first fiver.

02:42That is impressive, wasn't it?

02:44Look at this.

02:46If I turn the cards face down,

02:48it should now be second from top.

02:50It's not on top.

02:52It's not second from top.

02:54You can see that.

02:56If I reverse the order now,

02:58it should be at the top, shouldn't it?

03:00It's not on top. It's actually second from top.

03:02Keep an eye on the queen.

03:04The one that's face up

03:06is actually

03:08an ace.

03:10Now look, at this stage,

03:12I've got one, two, three, four cards.

03:14The queen is hard to find

03:16because the queen doesn't actually exist.

03:18She's not there.

03:20Well, she is there, but she's hiding in plain sight.

03:22She's actually down there.

03:24Can you see the mark on the card?

03:26We're not on the face up, we're on the back.

03:28Can you see that?
