Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Malik the Magic Guy for expertvillage.com. Now I want to show you a basic card location using the force that we just did. Now what I had Mr. Hand do was cut the deck; and we’re doing the cross cut force that I taught you, so he cut the cards roughly in half. Now my force card is right here, the 6 of spades. Okay, now Mr. Hand pick up the other half and turn it cross wise, put it on there. So now I know what card Mr. Hand is going to end up with. And I say you could of cut anywhere you wanted. We take this off, he looks at that card, remembers it, I already know what it is. So now no matter what happens to that card, I’m going to find it. So I put the deck back together, I have Mr. Hand pick it up, and he can put the card back in anywhere he wants, he can mix it up because I already know what the card is. And then when I take it I’m going to go through the deck. Now I pulled out a card at first that wasn’t Mr. Hand’s card, and I did this to build a little bit of tension, because I was like, okay maybe not, and then I went through and I found my 6 of spades, my force card, because I know that’s the card he picked, because I forced it on him using the cross cut force. And then I showed it to him, and that’s a great simple location you can do using a force. That works with any of the forces that I just showed ya’ll."
