For those still watching this, the hidden beauty of this video is the technique he uses for a new deck to Stacked was perfected by Darwin Ortiz called the SI Stebbins Secret that he published in 1988. Once it’s practiced, it can be done really well just like it’s shown in the video. It’s great if you open a fresh deck of USPCC NDO cards and want to go straight into a Chased routine or two! I highly recommend hunting it down, it opens you to a world of possibilities!

I used to use that deck formation when i was a little boy. Its been 30yrs since i have even heard of that. Thanks for the nostalgia. There is so many tricks you can do with that. Great vid.

This really felt good. The we’re all junkies who got fooled once, and we’re chasing that high… comment was the most relatable thing for me to hear. Wizards only worked for this show. Definitely going to try this one out.

I love this effect. My favorite out when a trick like this fails is to say "and the cards match! No? Wouldnt it be cool if that worked?"

This hit home for me on a few levels. Thanks.

This was such a great episode to watch, seeing four magicians nerd out using terms I do not understand; and yet, however, I feel almost like I'm one of them while watching 🤙

Its pretty rare that you see a trick where it amazed you just as much when they explain it.

After 6 years of watching Scam School (and Sam Shoo!) I went from first time handling a deck to instantly figuring out the method and I felt like such a beast when I saw that my guess was correct. Thank you Brian Brushwood! Also, I think it's about time you had me on your show. :D

Best reveal ever on Scam School in this episode! You can find public domain magic books on the internet. I haven't ever even thought about that. I have a brand new ink cartridge on my printer and plan on wearing it out quickly!

This guy has some awesome ideas, and I like that he points to his sources of lesser known books

Loved this episode! Thanks Brian for bringing me joy.

I still watch these and really want to come by you a drink. Huge fan, Brian. Love ya, bro.

This fooled the shit outa me. Gonna use this, such a strong effect

I remember reading and performing this when I was a kid haha..can't believe it's still used lol

Last guy to shuffle was a total bro. If you look, he did a series of cuts and picked up the entire deck each time instead of an actual shuffle. There were only cuts, so he didn't mess up the order If you can get a friend to false shuffle for you, along with someone actually stuffing, it'll look even better.

There was a mention when you put the rest of the cards away and the top and the bottom cards are different, chances are then 50/50. In this case, take both cards in the second deck, move one on the top of the second deck and place the other card next to the card on the table. That way even if it is the wrong card, you can save it by asking someone else to check the top card on the second deck. Or palm the card when you take the other one from the second deck and produce it from somewhere.

Fantastic, Michael! Bravo!

Until you learn just go total beginner route and do a series of false shuffles (which may be too advanced) or at least a bunch of real cuts that make it look like a shuffle and you'll still be in new deck stack, a stack's a stack. And as long as there isn't a lot of scrutiny (the audience noticing it's still in new deck order) you can do the trick. If the top card is 8d and bottom is 10d then your card is 9d. Super-beginner approach but isn't that what Scam School is about?

I'd ask if you can do a perfect faro, apparently that's required. If not then one would most likely need to start with their card artifice first to acquire the skill. However, I think Patrick Redford has this shuffle in 'Temporarily Out of Order'. I've got the book but it's quite too advanced for me but I think it's in there. I'm sure he'd take your $75 and he's one of my favorite card magicians so I'll advertise for him, but it will take some serious work. I'll look into it tonight to see if it's there, but stacking a deck from new deck order using shuffles is advanced card work and certainly nothing I'd expect Brian to be teaching on this channel.

Oh man, 11:15 is gold! "Okay hold on to that." And then never come back? :D

the one thing to keep track of of when dissecting a trick is every action the performer does. In this case that is the handling of the cards before giving it off to someone else, which narrows it down a lot.

Actually it was super easy to figure out. He had a deck in NDO and started doing faro shuffles. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out he’s arranging the deck into a stack, most likely SS. To get the deck from NDO to SS you need what’s called the “SS secret” which is in a book I don’t remember atm. Not hating on the trick, it’s great. But certainly easy to figure out on the first watch if you are familiar with stack deck effects and faro shuffling

Any tutorial on how to setup si Stebbins stack quickly? Like he did?

I like to carry a deck of cards with me wherever I go. If someone walks into the room, I'll say, "Quick! Name any card in the deck!" They'll name a random card like the Queen of Diamonds. I'll cut to the middle of the deck and say, "BAM!" while I hold up the card that I cut to. 99.99% of the time, it's the wrong card. If that's the case, I'll say, "Dang! One day it will work and it will blow everyone's mind!" The first time it did work, I acted like I knew exactly what I was doing. The person in my group thought I was a wizard. A few months ago, I was meeting up with a group of about 10 people for lunch. The 4 that I was with knew the "trick" and would play along if I got it right. The next guy to show up to our table arrived and I told him to name any card. I cut to that card and he almost fell to the floor! He asked me to do it again and I did because I think explaining the gag is more funny than the actual trick. He named a different card and, "BAM!" I actually cut to it! The other guys at the table were freaking out. I played it cool. A few minutes later, another person showed up and the amazed guy was like, "Show him the trick!!!" So I told the new guy to name a card.... "BAM!" I go it right again! I kid you not! 3 times in a row! I decided not to press my luck anymore and refused to do that trick again.

For some reason he thought this was funny, but pretty much everyone there thought it was stupid. Anyways, two friends and I at the meeting that day pretended to act like he had actually gotten it right. The poor guy actually thought he was performing miracles.

If you spot the top and bottom cards and you've 'hit a break', you can pull out both options, get them to show their card and then do an equivoce to get the right one of the two. Just an idea guys.

You could also use Mnemonica or any other stack.

I’ve been here sine 300k subs and loved every video since

This is similar to the only card trick I know. Lol. I don't take so many chances though. Great trick.

Is it something to do with eye stimulation

I love magic that fools magicians by tricking them into eliminating the method they already knew. Years ago, I learned about stacks from Juan Tamariz's excellent book, Mnemonica. By far, the best effect in that book is Mnemonicosis. It's an incredibly strong divination effect where the spectator names a card and the magician gives them some simple directions to locate the card in a deck laying on the table, typically by a cut or count. That description sounds super dry and obvious to anybody who's ever handled a memorized deck but, in practice, it consistently slays people *if* you know how to sell it. Nobody ever suspects a stack because the magician doesn't touch the cards. They try to reconstruct the trick from the improvised directions you give them and they're forced to conclude that it's impossible.

So this is possible with a deck in new deck order? Or how did he get so fast in si stebbins stack?
