The Flintstone's reference is very interesting. One of the great card magicians is Fred Kaps ("Fred Flinstone"). The "Yabadabadoo" is a code of one of his tricks, also known as "the Mixer" to keen learners of the art of Kaps. I love this show, and how Penn disguises his explanation to the aspiring magicians, who obviously read about the greatest of the classics to get to where they are today.

The other decks in the box were never touched or inspected, so he could easily make them different. If you remove half the cards in each deck, you should be able to feel the difference. After they are shredded you wont be able to tell at a glance if the deck was complete. Another way to do it would be to simply put the decks in a fridge to feel the temprature difference, or put a invisible marker on the decks, like small piece of adhesive film. And there are hundreds of ways to find a selected card in a deck. Its THE most used card trick. I have to admit that i don't know which specific trick he used, though.

it's particularly impressive that you misspelled the word "daub" twice. at least you're consistent. www.dictionary.com/browse/daub

Mark C. I just love your MAGIC. Very cool bro!!!

My original guess what that he felt the edges of the card boxes for the broken seal. Then felt the bottoms of the cards to the marker. But apparently he just marked the box and the card with some kind of sticky substance.

Great show!

Apparently no one (at least that I'm seeing) is getting what Penn is going on about. Fred Flintstone said "Yabba Dabba Doo". Penn is saying "Yauba Dauba Doo". Daub. Daub [dôb]VERB coat or smear (a surface) with a thick or sticky substance in a carelessly rough or liberal way: Bingo players refer to marking their bingo cards as "Daubing". He had a substance on his fingers that he used to mark the card. Notice his right hand, how he is holding his pinky awkwardly, away from the deck, himself, and his other fingers. He slides the pinky up and touches the signed card before he puts the deck back together. It's possible he marks the deck itself in the same way, but if you notice he squeezes (top and bottom) each deck as he's going through them. That box would feel different than all the rest. I believe that he had somehow modified the other decks to feel slightly different than the object deck. Notice they are never touched except by him. He mimes shaking the container, not reaching in and mixing the decks by hand. He pointedly tells Johnathan when he's shaking the container full of decks "...making sure not to drop anything" and when they are dumped on the table "...making sure nothing drops on the floor". He could also be feeling for the difference between an unaltered deck and the deck with the advertising cards and jokers taken out, but it would be more foolproof to have altered the decks in some way.

Penn believed the cards were not gimmick ed right away, but rather during the trick, he probably marked the Frist deck box with wax or some other substance with his thumb right as he took it out and then marked the card as Jonathan took the choice card from his hand with the same substance. From there, you literally feel for the trasnparent wax like marking and that makes it easy to find with your fingers, but near impossible to see with the camera or someones eyes.

mark: puts cards in the chipper *Janitor has left the chat*

Love when they speak in code XD

Still blew my mind

He put something on the card and the deck so he could feel whatever was on the card and deck to find it again. It's a dabba do.

As with any magic trick, the decks had to be marked or coated so that Mark would know which deck that card was in and again the card had to be coated so the feel of the card would be different from all the other cards.

Remember when he took all the promo and jokers out? It made the deck a bit smaller so he could FEEL which deck it was. Then he probably memorized the sequence of the cards. Probably not right about how he found John's card, but im pretty sure about the first thing.

Pre signed one in every deck

is the technique you use to find the card is the same as the seer ?

What was the music at 1:10?

I know nothing about magic but this seemed obvious. Little braille type ridges on the backs of the first deck, as Jonathan writes on his card he clearly spins the deck around in his hand, so that when Jon replaces his card, it is the only one with the ridge on the other end. Same thing with the boxes, they are all smooth but the box with his card in has a little braille type mark on it.
