请教大家一个手法问题。
大家好！
我想请教一下，关于利用 Glide（下滑）手法实现的一个效果。
假设我手里有8张牌，按以下顺序叠放：黑桃K、黑桃A、红桃K、红桃A、梅花K、梅花A、方块K、方块A。此时牌堆最底部（也就是展示牌堆时观众能看到的底牌）是黑桃K。
现在，我将牌堆翻过来展示牌背，利用 Glide 手法将底部的黑桃K向后移，取出后面的黑桃A放在桌面上，让观众以为那是黑桃K。这样一来，我手中剩下的牌，按顺序排列应该是：黑桃K、红桃K、红桃A、梅花K……
接下来我想再次展示牌堆，并露出红桃K，以便对红桃A重复刚才的操作。但现在黑桃K还在最前面，我不知道该如何把它置顶或者神不知鬼不觉地处理掉。
我想对梅花K和梅花A如法炮制，但如果我能成功把红桃A放在桌上并让观众误以为是红桃K，我就能凑齐三张K了。
请问各位高手，这个过程该如何衔接？我觉得这应该是“Find the Queen”这类流程里用到的核心机制。
多谢指教！
Hey everyone, I'm back with another one.
Here's what I came up with. You can check it out here:
The idea is you show the Kings are mixed in with the Aces.
You display a King and set it aside (using a Glide to leave an Ace).
Then you set an Ace aside on the other side (without showing it, because it's actually the King).
And so on until you're left with the last two. Since you can't use the Glide here, my thought was for those final cards to act as 'leader cards' to "attract the rest."
Italo Castillo explains it here, but with other techniques.
He rates it as advanced (you have to know the Emsley Count and the Ascanio's Spread).
I like it better than with the Glide.
Best,
In that trick, four kings transform into four aces. However, the trick Lorenzo is suggesting would be one where the four kings and four aces transpose, not transform.
Hey!
Here's a quick thought: adjust the stack to make it easier on yourself. If you stack the deck, for example, face down, from top to bottom: Ace, King, King, King, King, Ace, Ace, Ace, you can then perform a 'triple cycle' deal, a bottom deal, another 'triple cycle' deal, a bottom deal, a third 'triple cycle' deal, a bottom deal, and a final 'triple cycle' deal (which will now yield a clean double), followed by a regular top deal.
How to get to that stack and how to arrange the cards to square up the suits, I'll leave that up to your research, as I'm a bit under the weather, haha.
Cheers!
What is the triple loop?
@fr_lorenzo quick question: Does it matter if the spectator doesn't know you have the Aces interspersed with the Kings, or is it okay?
I came up with a way to do it, but it relies on showing the setup of the cards right from the start.
I might make a quick video later and upload it...
Find the Queen is explained in Varela and Tamariz's Trucky Card Magic. It's a very easy trick, relying on a gimmicked card and a glide, nothing more.
The idea I mentioned earlier has nothing to do with this; I must have misread it. This effect is about showing eight cards, making it appear as though you deal the Kings as a four-card packet onto the table, only to have the Aces on the table and the Kings in your hand. My mistake.
Hey there,
It's probably not the best idea, but the only thing I can think of is to do a double reverse cut. If you don't know what that is, let me know. Also, I'm interested in the trick and would like to perform it, but how would you continue the routine after turning the 4 Kings into 4 Aces? Because if the routine just ends there, it would feel incomplete.
Best,
I've been doing some research, and what really stands out is Miquel Roman's "Reset" trick. It's not published, but I've managed to reverse-engineer the whole thing myself, and now I've got it down perfectly. Another fantastic routine for the repertoire.
Hey there!
I'm afraid I don't know what a reverse double cut is 😅
For the ending of the routine, I've seen it done where when you're down to just one card in hand (even though it's actually five), you put them under the mat and quickly produce just the card you want (in my example, the final ace) or you pocket them (obviously leaving the four kings inside and producing the ace later).
That's where the patter, of course, and the story you tell come into play to justify why that final card ends up somewhere different from the others. I think the patter for the effect goes something like this: the last of the kings, or queens, stayed to stand guard at the door (the mat) to protect the other three, but even so, all four were kidnapped anyway (that's where you reveal the four aces or whatever card you chose).
If you can explain what a reverse double cut is, I'd really appreciate it! 🙂
Thanks!
With a Pass. You bring it to the top effortlessly.
@ricardorg2283 I know this one, and it's similar, but the one I was explaining doesn't involve an Elmsley or a Wiggle Display.
@ricardorg2283 The whole point is for the spectator to be unaware of the aces until the very end, after the kings have already "vanished" :slight_smile:
Well, if the kings are going to vanish, then this might help you out:
It's not exactly what you're talking about, but I'm sharing it as an idea for the presentation. You'd just have to swap the Double Lift technique for the Glide.
Happy Magician's Day
