Video Transcript

" Hi everybody Malik the magic guy for expertvillage.com. Now I want to show you this swivel cut. This is another cut that is kind of flashy looking. It is simple but it is going to be the basis of some other stuff. So you want to start with your cards held. Just like you did with the swing cut, but this time what I'm going to do is take my first finger here, and instead of breaking off here like this with this finger, I'm going to break off a section of cards with this finger. Now I'm going to pivot them around with my middle finger like this, then I'm going to catch them in my hand and put this half on top. So once more it looks like this. Just like that. Let me show you from the side. Let me show you from the back. I'm going to break off the cards here and bring them around, put that on top. Now you can actually do combinations of cuts, like you can do a swivel cut, a swing cut like this and that is a cool way to do a cut. Now you can also use this as a cool way to reveal a card by having a selected card on top, which you could do with a key card or any of the other techniques that you can learn. And the way that you do that is that you swivel this off, and then as you are coming across you push this up like this, and you take this out and just turn it over like that, and that is a nice way to reveal a card as well. I would show you that one more time. So here is the selected card. You are going to swivel it like that, push up like this, take it out just like that. At speed it is going to look like this. It is a nice way to reveal a card."
