  • - Everybody go wild for Steven Bridges!

  • (everybody cheers)

  • We don't have a studio audience so

  • I just did my own intro.

  • Because I just wanted to make it feel more profesh.

  • Isn't that nice?

  • We've got Michael Dean, we've got Toby.

  • Toby has no last name.

  • We're gonna dive right into this.

  • Toby, I'm gonna do this, you just say stop.

  • - [Toby] Stop!

  • - Very nice. - Cool.

  • - We use one, two, three, four, four's good actually.

  • We use four.

  • Michael Dean, you have a different job.

  • I'm gonna deal down my single cards, like this.

  • You just say stop.

  • - [Michael] Stop.

  • - Nice. Cool.

  • - Let's have a little look.

  • One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.

  • No way.

  • That's the same.

  • 'Cause you could've gone for a couple more

  • or a couple more.

  • - Ten.

  • - Yeah. - Those four cards.

  • - Are the four tens.

  • Look.

  • Diamonds, clubs, hearts. - What?

  • - What?

  • - Four tens.

  • - What?

  • - Now what would have happened?

  • - Toby, Toby, real quick, just say stop.

  • - [Toby] Stop.

  • - Cool. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

  • No, that's insane!

  • - Why?

  • - Those four tens?

  • They're now the four sevens.

  • - No. - Look.

  • - [Toby] But you didn't change those cards!

  • - No. No. No. Seven of diamonds, seven of hearts,

  • seven of clubs, seven of spades.

  • (Michael laughs)

  • - There we go.

  • - You all right?

  • - We're just getting started bae.

  • - Oh! There's more?

  • - Oh yeah, there's lots more.

  • Yeah, okay.

  • Let's dive in.

  • Mr Dean just reach and just touch one.

  • Sweet. Yeah touching its fine.

  • It doesn't really matter what you've got...

  • Except we'll go for a new card, seven of spades.

  • We just had the sevens.

  • Don't do that to me Michael Dean.

  • Just reach and just touch one.

  • Cool, flip it out, take it over, show everybody what we got.

  • Michael Dean!

  • I said a new card, he's going for the seven of spades.

  • Toby, just touch one.

  • Yeah, take it out, flip it over, what've we got?

  • - Ha!

  • - Toby, man, don't you let me down as well!

  • Toby, all you have to do is point to a card.

  • Just, like, not the top one, what you doing?

  • That one there, flip it out, turn it over, what've we got?

  • - [Toby] Ha!

  • - Seven of spades, Toby, you're breaking my little heart.

  • You're breaking my little magiciany heart.

  • Michael Dean, actually, here's what I want you to do.

  • Could you just scribble your name,

  • nice and big, across there.

  • Scribble it.

  • What's that?

  • - The pressure - What was that?

  • That's not even writing.

  • - It says Mike Dean-- - Hieroglyphs.

  • - The pressure was on.

  • - Okay, that's really terrible.

  • But that's fine, that's what we've got.

  • Toby, I'm just gonna carve little packets of cards now.

  • Whenever you like just say stop.

  • - [Toby] Stop.

  • - Yeah, drop those?

  • More or less, you happy?

  • - More! - More?

  • - More! - All the rest?

  • - Yeah! - How many?

  • - Some. - Too many?

  • - Two, two more cards! - Eighteen.

  • - Two more cards?

  • Fifty more cards. Two.

  • - Cool, yeah, good.

  • - Happy? - Yeah.

  • - Okay, I'll do--

  • - What!

  • (Michael laughs)

  • - You're ruining this, you're really ruining this!

  • - No!

  • (Michael laughs)

  • - Here's what we're gonna do.

  • Because this is getting confusing.

  • Oh, by the way, you might realise the reason

  • I got you to write your name on the card, Michael Dean,

  • is so that even if I had more than one seven of spades

  • that's the only one with your signature on, right?

  • So we don't have another seven of spades,

  • that's also got your signature on.

  • Because, obviously, you've signed this card.

  • We can't have more than one seven of spades.

  • (Michael laughs)

  • That's got your signature on.

  • 'Cause these are the only cards in play.

  • (Michael laughs)

  • - Some people think that there's more than

  • one seven of spades in the deck.

  • And they think I've got a cheeky 'nother one

  • hiding in the middle of the deck.

  • Or sometimes they think that there's one over here as well.

  • But, obviously, that can't be the case because

  • the only one we've got is the one on the table,

  • with your signature on it, right?

  • In fact, yeah, some cards--

  • (Toby laughs)

  • Some cards in the deck look like the seven of spades.

  • They look kinda similar.

  • Eight of spades, really close right?

  • But there's only one seven of spades

  • in the deck, with your signature on it.

  • And that's Michael Dean's signed seven of spades.

  • Say what, say what?

  • - What?

  • - What. No you don't have to say what.

  • I'm just hyping my own tricks.

  • I'm just going, what!

  • We are gonna move on from this now

  • and whenever I move on from this trick, people think

  • "Oh! He's gonna use it again!" so I'm actually, genuinely...

  • We don't need that sugar, we got loads of cards.

  • We're on a budget.

  • Oh, actually, hold on, sorry.

  • I do need that one.

  • (Michael laughs)

  • We'll get back to that in a minute.

  • This is a new card trick, I'm getting

  • confused with where we're going.

  • We need that for the end of the show.

  • For the end of the show, nice and exciting, alright?

  • Toby--

  • - Yeah

  • - Would you just reach and just touch one.

  • Cool, take it out, look at it, don't show me.

  • It doesn't matter, it's not the seven of spades.

  • That would be wild, but we're not that wild.

  • Michael Dean, similar kind of deal.

  • I'm gonna flip through the cards, like this.

  • You just point to one, I don't mind.

  • Take it out, have a look at it, show the guys at home.

  • It doesn't really matter if I see

  • but let's just keep it hidden and a nice surprise.

  • Yeah, and then hold the cards face down.

  • Happy? Good.

  • Yeah, so this trick is based on making mistakes.

  • 'Cause one of the things I found being a magician,

  • especially when I was younger,

  • I would drop cards all the time.

  • Oh, by the way, I should probably show you guys

  • that the cards are actually all different.

  • I never really established that when

  • we had all the seven of spades stuff going on.

  • As a magician I'd often drop cards on

  • the playground and people would laugh at me.

  • Because I'm a fool, I drop the cards.

  • And I found an interesting thing.

  • One time, I didn't pick up the cards.

  • I just let them hit the ground.

  • And people didn't make fun of me.

  • It's a weird thing when the cards hit

  • the ground and you've dropped them and

  • you've lost control, people laugh.

  • But when you haven't lost control,

  • you're kinda like "No, it's part of the plan!", you're okay.

  • And sometimes I would drop more cards on the floor

  • and just be like "Oh! I don't care!".

  • You've kinda regained control of the situation.

  • So from this weird little thing I learnt

  • that sometimes, with mistakes, it's better

  • to just go with it and make it worse.

  • And then find a solution within the mistake.

  • I don't know if that makes sense.

  • - So I'm gonna illustrate this with

  • a lovely little card trick.

  • Because that's what we're doing today.

  • Cheeky little shuffle, like this, boom!

  • So in this case, this represents the mistake.

  • And we're dropping the cards on the floor, right?

  • And you remember your card?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Yeah, happy days.

  • We'll stick you, badger, in there.

  • Michael Dean, we'll put yours in there too.

  • So, do you have a phone?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Can you get out your phone.

  • And can you put it on the camera mode?

  • But not the selfie-mode, the other mode.

  • So, yeah, cards a bit of a mess.

  • And I found that if you take the cards and

  • kinda make them worse, like in this case,

  • shuffle them up more.

  • I kind of can help the situation in a weird way.

  • So, in this case, we'll give them one more

  • little, cheeky, shuffle.

  • Yeah, just pop it down on the table, that's great.

  • We're gonna get a lovely photograph with you guys.

  • It's gonna be really nice, a memento of this occasion.

  • Look at that, nice and messy.

  • You can kind of hop up for a second and

  • just kinda crouch down there, and scooch together,

  • so that you're facing me.

  • No, that's wrong, that's wrong.

  • - Where?

  • - You stand over there, Toby, you stand over there.

  • - Oh, Oh!

  • - Now face me.

  • - Okay.

  • - Yeah but kinda crouch together more.

  • Yeah this is great!

  • (everyone laughs)

  • Loving everything about this.

  • Here's what we're gonna do.

  • We'll do a nice little thing like that.

  • Michael Dean, could you hold out your hand, like this?

  • You're gonna grab all those cards

  • but keep that real still, keep that still.

  • Have you got that?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Cool, and I'm gonna grab this thing.

  • Toby, you wanna get in there?

  • Just move a little bit to the side.

  • It's a bit blurry.

  • Oh that is absolutely...

  • Are you waving in the background there Tom Mack?

  • I wondered why you waved your hand.

  • (Michael laughs)

  • That's perfect, we'll leave that there for now.

  • Great, you can go sit back on your chair.

  • Alright, nice, lock that.

  • Okay, so as we're on about, cards being in a mess.

  • I really want you to see that this is legit, right?

  • So you got some cards face up,

  • you got some cards face down.

  • The important thing, too, is that

  • there's no sort of cheeky patterns, right?

  • It's not like I've got every other card

  • is face up or face down.

  • They are just in a mess and there's

  • no real sort of specific order to it.

  • Some face down, some face up, some face down.

  • - Sure.

  • - If you see your card, by the way,

  • don't say anything, I don't wanna hear it.

  • - Okay.

  • - Michael Dean, I want you to see and

  • you can even touch the cards, feel that?

  • You feel that they're face up, face down?

  • I know it's weird but they're all a bit of a mess, right?

  • So here's what I'm on about with problems

  • and solving them and going further.

  • If you take a trick and you build it out of a mistake.

  • You can do something a little bit different, watch.

  • What was your card?

  • - You want me to-- - Yeah, yeah tell me.

  • - King of diamonds.

  • - King of diamonds.

  • Every single card, in the deck, sorted out.

  • Every single one, look, except--

  • - [Toby] Oh!

  • - King, of diamonds!

  • What?

  • - Oh!

  • - There we go.

  • Michael Dean, sorry, your card wasn't there was it?

  • What was your card Michael?

  • - It was clubs...

  • - Clubs?

  • (Michael laughs)

  • - Was it? It was the eight.

  • - Did you see it?

  • - I didn't see it--

  • - These guys at home will see.

  • Oh this is great.

  • - Tom Mack?

  • - [Tom] Eight of spades, yeah.

  • - Eight? Yeah? Eight.

  • Five? Five!

  • - Whatever you want, you want a five?

  • It was either the eight or the five.

  • - Okay - Sorry I got distracted

  • - This is-- - Open up your phone.

  • - [Tom] I think it might've been a five.

  • - Five? - Five?

  • - Yeah. Five.

  • - Look at the photograph that we took.

  • - Okay.

  • - Oh!

  • - Show Michael.

  • - Oh!

  • - Wait but when I was holding it, there were so many--

  • - Yeah, they were messy. - More--

  • - That's the trick Michael Dean.

  • - Show the guys at home. - No! What?

  • - Give a little bit of a cheeky closeup.

  • - What is happening there?

  • The other cards were the other way around.

  • - I know right?

  • - That's so weird!

  • - I like that you can see Tom Mack in there.

  • (laughs)

  • - I know, yeah, that's what we want.

  • Okay, let's move on, let's move on.

  • - So weird.

  • - There's your little souvenir for the Instagrams.

  • - Should we use...

  • 'cause yours was a five, yours was a king, right?

  • King of diamonds.

  • Kings or fives?

  • - Kings!

  • - Kings?

  • Sweet, kings it is, alright.

  • (cards shuffling)

  • There we go, there's the four kings.

  • - What?

  • - I know, right?

  • Let's do something...

  • Toby-- - Yeah

  • - How are your powers of observation?

  • - Oh!

  • - It's a really easy observation test.

  • - Okay. - Toby.

  • - All you've gotta do is worry

  • about the suits, right, or the colours.

  • What's this, black?

  • - [Toby] Black.

  • - [Steven] Spade?

  • - [Toby] Yeah. - You got that? Nice.

  • Put your finger on top.

  • And what's this?

  • - Black, club.

  • - Yeah, nice, good. - Cool

  • - We'll slide that in there too.

  • And we're gonna take the red ones so

  • that they're face-to-face, like this, watch.

  • (silence)

  • And now we get the blacks here.

  • (Toby sighs)

  • - What was under my hand was the reds.

  • - Two red kings.

  • - What?

  • - Michael Dean, I feel like you're gonna

  • give this trick a try, alright?

  • So you're gonna hold the cards just how I did.

  • So give it like a little pinch motion.

  • I'm gonna take the two black kings like this

  • and we're sort of gonna line them up like that.

  • Pinch them, hold that real still.

  • Perfect, that's perfect.

  • And, look, we'll do this with the red kings.

  • Okay, when I say, I want you to sort of rub.

  • When I say, not too early, okay?

  • Here we go.

  • Slowly start to rub.

  • And we get out.

  • Sorry these are the fives.

  • Actually, let's have a look.

  • (participants laugh)

  • And now we've got the fives.

  • - How is he doing this?

  • (Michael laughs)

  • - Too much free time and sad, alone in my bedroom.

  • - You're a wizard, Steven.

  • - Michael Dean, how is your shuffling? It doesn't have to--

  • - Mediocre.

  • - Mediocre?

  • Mediocre is good, that's what we're aiming for.

  • Shall we use... Yeah we'll use the fives.

  • Can you do the overhand shuffle?

  • That's like the standard kind of shuffle.

  • - Yeah

  • - You give them a little bit of cheeky overhand shuffle.

  • You gonna judge your talent on it?

  • That's perfect, not too much, it makes it hard.

  • - Okay. - Now it's fine.

  • - Alright, thanks man.

  • - Told you it was mediocre.

  • - Yeah, yeah, okay chuck 'em back on the table face down.

  • And Michael Dean, just say stop.

  • - Stop.

  • - Yeah, one, two, three, four, five.

  • That was nice, all the fives.

  • Toby, I feel like you wanna try this as well?

  • - Yeah. - How is your shuffling?

  • - I play a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh!

  • - You play a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh!?

  • Can you do a riffle shuffle or--

  • - No I just--

  • - So just a boring one? - Yeah just a boring one.

  • - Yeah do the boring one, it's fine.

  • - Give them a shuffle.

  • Pop them down here.

  • There we go, nice.

  • Ready? Watch.

  • Say stop.

  • - Stop!

  • - [Steven] Underneath the box.

  • - [Toby] What? How did they... What?

  • - One, two, three, four, Five!

  • (Steven cheers)

  • If there was a crowd here, we'd have a little bit of a clap.

  • But that's fine.

  • (observer claps)

  • - We have one anyway.

  • - Thank you, one person in the background there. Hey Bry!

  • Right, we're gonna do the big finish now, the finale.

  • - Hey that was nice, I liked that anticipation.

  • We have a seven of spades,

  • with Michael Dean's signature on it.

  • We're gonna get back to that in a moment.

  • But we'll use..

  • Toby.

  • Just point to one.

  • Maybe one with a bit more white space, go on.

  • Cool, that's fine.

  • Here's what we'll do.

  • Could you just...

  • How is the best way of doing this?

  • Yeah, alright, here's what we're gonna do.

  • Sort of making this up as I go along.

  • Actually, could you grab the Sharpie and click the Sharpie?

  • Now write your name, nice and big, across that card.

  • I love giving people...

  • When I hold the cards it makes it hard to write.

  • That is absolutely terrible, it's more like Tubby.

  • - Yeah, a little bit.

  • - Okay, here's what we're gonna do.

  • Right, this is the gimp.

  • Could you hold out a hand, like this, for me Toby?

  • Like that, perfect.

  • We're gonna hold these so that they're

  • sort of facing back-to-back.

  • Could you hold out a hand, too, Michael Dean.

  • Like this.

  • Let's line these up perfectly, like this.

  • So we keep them perfectly square and neat.

  • Turn your hand over.

  • Okay, don't put it down yet.

  • You wanna hold that square.

  • Put your hand down but try not to spread the cards out.

  • Perfect, keep that still there, nice.

  • Alright guys, I just wanna say

  • thanks very much for watching this

  • and being a part of this.

  • Thank you guys, very much, for watching.

  • If you wanna subscribe, I do videos, do that.

  • Like this video if you liked it.

  • And thank you, that's pretty much the end.

  • I'm just gonna go get coffee, I will see you guys later.

  • Thanks very much for being a part of it.

  • I really enjoyed that.

  • - Oh!

  • - [Steven] But, yeah, just thank you very much and I'll...

  • - Bye!

  • - [Steven] See you.

  • - What do I do?

  • - I'm still holding on to your hand, to be fair.

  • - Yeah, it's quite nice.

  • - It's good.

  • - Tom Mack, do you know what we do?

  • - Do we just look?

  • Do we just have a look and see what we've got in our hand?

  • Is that the..

  • - I think so.

  • - Go on then.

  • Let's see what we've...

  • We've got the exact same--

  • (Michael shouts)

  • - It's one card!

  • It's one card!

  • It is. - Yeah

  • - He turned it into one bit of card!

  • (observer clapping)

- Everybody go wild for Steven Bridges!
