you at the end of this video with what's been going on but right now you're about to see

a phenomenal performer, Keith Barry blowing my mind with a card trick. I don't even know

if you should call it a card trick or a memory stunt or just mind reading. I don't even know

what it is, it's just incredible - you're gonna love it. And then at the end we'll have

a bit of a catch up. But right now, without further ado, here is Keith Barry blowing my

mind. So Steven I've got an interesting concept which is memory. I've trained my memory in

ways that are different to most people. I wouldn't say I've got a photographic memory,

I've just got a pretty good memory. Do you know if you're left brain or right brained,

do you know? No. No? No I don't think I do. And you haven't even tried this as a magician?

I might have looked at it once. Okay close your eyes. Think of a piece of furniture.

Open your eyes. Did you see a chair? Yep. But you saw a picture of a chair. Yep. Rather

than a word. Yeah. So even magicians, different people think differently. Some magicians or

people out there, they would have seen a spelling of a chair. So C H A I R. Which would have

mean't that they're left brained. They're linear in their thinking. Right brained people

like yourself, creatives, they think in pictures. So that's why you thought of a chair. And

yes, most people will think of a chair. So at home, tell people to close their eyes.

Tell them to think of a piece of furniture. And boom, tell them it's a chair. They'll

freak out. We're gonna use a deck of cards in this demonstration. One of my favourite

movies was rain man. Yeah yeah. Dustin Hoffman. So this was kind of, inspired by Rain Man.

Alright, so. It's important that no two cards are the same and so on and that you're happy

with the cards. Yep. Yep. Good. Alright. So here's the idea. We're gonna shuffle these

cards but in a very specific way if you like. Now it's important that people realise all

the backs are the same. And oh. Do you know exactly how to check for marked cards? I forgot

to say this. I do yeah. You do. Okay you can have a look. Yeah. There's no marks. They

are, yep, normal deck of cards. Straight deck. That was interesting. You never checked the

other end though so we'll check the other end as well. Oh yeah. Okay we'll riffle through

like this. And what he's looking for is any discrepancies in the backs of the cards. So

here's what we'll do. We're gonna use a whole bunch of cards. You're gonna take some. I'll

take some. You take these. Okay. And just go ahead and shuffle them up any way you want.

I don't mind. Alrighty. Okay now let's swap, when you're ready. No, no, go ahead. I wanna

do two shuffles just to for fun you know. Just for fun. I'll do the same. There we go.

You take, I'll take. Sweet. So I'll shuffle this. You shuffle those. And here's where

it gets kind of interesting. Put them down on the table like this. And I want you to

just go ahead and cut a portion like that. Perfect. Now I'm just gonna do this. Twist

them like that. I'll twist mine as well. Put your hands on top like this and smoosh. I

like that word, smoosh. Lovin' it. And here's where it kind of gets interesting if you like.

I'm gonna let you do all this. Just so it's hands off for me. I want you to take a bunch

of my cards. Take a few of them. And turn them face up and put them next to yours. Take

a bunch. There we go. Face up next to yours. Do the same with yours. Take a bunch and put

them face up next to mine. Okay, put your hands on top. And smoosh. Smoosh. Okay good,

you don't need to square them up. So, let's do that again. Take a bunch of yours, turn

them face up, put them over here. Take a bunch of mine, face up, put them next to yours.

Put your hands on top and smoosh. Now this next decision will be yours. Do you want to

do that again or not? I feel pretty good about it. Pretty good, okay. Well we are going to

have one last smoosh. Because you're going to put those into those. So one last smoosh.

Smoosh the whole lot together. Okay good. Now, I'll square them up very quickly. The

hard part yeah. It's fine. So, here's the idea. As a magician we're both gonna look

at them at the same time. Okay. I'm gonna flick them past your eyes like so, we'll do

it up the way, just like this, okay good. Okay. And we'll do the other side as well.

Good. Having done that. Do you know now, for certainty as a magician how many cards are

face down? No. There's no way to tell. But actually when I was looking at the cards I

was quickly as best as I could taking a mental snapshot of the cards and trying to figure

out how many cards are face down. I'm gonna go with 21. 21 cards face down Steven. Take

them yourself, I don't wanna do it. We're gonna just discard the face up cards. Forget

those. Then count the face down ones. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Ah 21! 21 face down cards. I'll tell you what, take those. And

fan them towards yourself. Don't let me see them. Okay. That's important. Alright. And

I'm gonna look away so even if the cards were marked, he checked them, I'm gonna look away

anyway. I'm gonna go with ah, I'm gonna say that there's, I'm gonna go with 10 red cards.

Take out the red cards, don't let me see the other ones. You can count them into my hand

this time. Okay. That is 5 so far. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 10. 10 red cards. 10 red cards. So

that means you've obviously got 11 black cards. I'm gonna go with eh. See here's the idea.

We saw the backs of the cards but we didn't see the faces, correct? Yeah. Incorrect. Becasue

I flipped the deck over both times so I actually tried to memorise some of the faces as well.

I'm gonna go with 6 black cards. Sorry, 6 clubs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ooh we've got 7. 6,

7. Oh 7 clubs, off by 1. So 7 clubs. And you've got 4 left. Erm, allow your eyes to scan over

and back. Over and back over the cards. Allow your eyes to settle on one. I think, is there

an ace of spades there. Take that out, hand it to me. You've also got, if I've memorised

these correctly. You've also got the 7 of spades. Yep. I think you've got the 4 of spades.

Yeah. And finally you've got the King of Spades. Ah, that was incredible. Damn. That was absolutely

incredible. Thanks. Everyone's gonna be blown away. Ah man. Check out Keith Barry's social

links in the description. He's got a YouTube channel. And in a couple of days time I'll

be uploading an interview I did with Keith, super interesting chat. We talked about so

much, including the new Now You See Me 2 film which I recommend you go and check out. All

that to come in a couple of days. Anyway, if you're wondering where I've been. I've

been working on a magic video that took me 4 weeks of planning and then filming and then

editing and at the end of the day it just wasn't what I envisaged. It wasn't as good

as I wanted it to be. As a result, I'm kind of going back to the drawing board on that.

But it's slowed down my whole upload schedule. But don't you worry. If you were worried.

There's gonna be a lot of videos on the way in the very soon. In the very soon. My grammar

is astounding. And just before I go make a cup of tea, a quick thank you to everyone

that's supporting me on Patreon. You guys are really helping me out, so thank you so

much. There'll be a link in the description to Patreon if you guys are interested in what

that is. And that's it. We're done. There we go. Thanks for watching. See ya guys soon.

Thank you.
