- Alright today is not going to be
your average tutorial day.
(electro music)
so normally for tutorials,
I'm sitting at home, I'm in my office,
and we do the whole,
there's an intro, intro of the video,
then we get down to the details,
the outro, and that's kinda like the format.
Thing is, about formats and about YouTube,
I get tired of them.
Second of all, you get tired of them.
Third of all, if you want to keep stuff interesting
in your life, you've got to change it up.
No one has ever been happy being complacent,
so I wanna change things up a bit for my channel,
now I'm not saying no more tutorials,
I'm just saying maybe I wanna change up the format
a little bit of how I give you guys those tutorials.
I'm on my way to my friend,
Yan's house, Yan who's also my barber,
but him and his brother Shawn are also beat makers
and producers and we're currently working
on something for myself,
maybe I'll give a sneak peek today, maybe, maybe not.
I want to go perform something to them,
and then I'm gonna teach you guys how that works.
Oh by the way, these glasses are like my backup glasses.
I've lost my sunglasses so,
I'm wearing these YouTube glasses.
Don't let that fool you,
these probably cost about 30 cents to make,
probably the cheapest glasses I own.
And to boot, they're too small.
They don't even like wrap around
my ear correctly but when in doubt.
First, I gotta show you this one thing.
Ducks, just sit here all winter long.
I have no idea why, i guess they don't know
that they can go down south.
They're freezing, there's hundreds of them,
and they sit in this little stream,
and they just stay there all winter.
Park here.
Those are all Ducks just sitting there being chill.
Most importantly, you can't show up to the studio
without bringing some gifts.
(knocks)
- [Narrator] Sup?
- (foreign language)
- [Narrator] Mowley!
Hi Mowley what's this?
Is that a camera?
Okay run, run, run. Go, go, go.
Such a cool Dog.
Mowley.
How you doing?
- I'm good man.
- [Narrator] You ready?
- Ready.
- Oh there he is. - Yo yo yo yo.
- [Narrator] (mumbles)
- Good you ?
- [Narrator] Yeah
You ready to make a masterpiece today?
- Everyday all day.
- [Narrator] Always. I'm super saiyan mode today.
Put fire on his head after effects.
(laughs)
Play a beat, make something up on the fly, right now.
(Instrumental music)
add a little lo-fi beat.
(upbeat music)
- Alright guys I promised you a tutorial,
but first we're gonna have a little performance.
So my man Yang here, doesn't know what to expect.
I'm gonna have you hold my phone,
alright, give these a nice little shuffle.
What you're holding right now.
- Your phone.
- Yeah but you're holding something more than my phone,
a piece of the past.
- Okay.
- Yeah. And, at the same time a piece of the future
and I want you to go ahead and say stop whenever you like.
- Stop.
- Right there?
- Yeah.
- Alright. I want you to take that card,
don't show it to me you can show it to the camera.
You got it?
- Yeah
- Alright put it back, we don't need the cards anymore,
we'll put this away.
So you got a card in your mind right now.
- [Yang] Yes sir
- This is cool, hopefully this works.
But what I mean is that, I took a picture on my phone
this morning, but you just picked a card now.
- Yeah.
- So turn my phone over, back out,
alright right there alright?
Can you see that in the camera?
I want you to keep your finger on,
yeah just keep your finger, (mumbles).
(Laughs)
(mumbles)
[Yang] Oh shit.
- Thank you, I'm gonna teach you guys that,
but I'm not gonna teach it to you here
'cause or else these guys will know the secret,
so what I'll do is I'm gonna actually travel to the past,
this morning where I taught it, so let's do that now.
So welcome back to the past,
so again this tutorial is not like the other tutorial.
It's going to be short and sweet
'cause this is actually something that I use
and you know what it's just kinda
like one of those throw away ideas
and one of the things I loved about starting
this sort of tutorial journey where I teach you guys stuff
is not always having something that's super intricate,
complicated, or anything like that but just something
that's honestly, easy to learn ,
easy to do and doesn't take up too much of your time
learning it, so lets get into it.
First off, this works with an iPhone.
Now I know a lot of you Android users
or Samsung users out there are probably really pissed off.
Thing is, I'm pretty sure this also works for Android,
you just kinda have to figure that out on your own.
I don't know Android so I'm not gonna pretend
to explain how to do this for an Android because
I've never actually held one in my hand,
so probably better off is you guys just Google it.
Google live photo on Android,
and you should be able to get it.
I know that the backgrounds on Androids
also allow you to have live photos,
I just don't know how you're going to do that.
So you guys check that out.
But for those of you who have iPhones,
this is actually a pretty cool thing.
So first of all, all you need is deck of cards,
now mind you this does not have to be a playing card,
it could be a word, it could be a color, a shape,
or anything you want to force.
So once you force this,
then all you have to do is reveal it.
So this is a really cool way of revealing a playing card..
What I did in the video is,
I just used a simple riffle force,
which looks like this, you got the nine of spades on top,
you want to cut it to the middle,
and keep a pinkie break.
You ask them to say stop as you riffle down here,
and no matter where they say,
you're going to cut at that break.
Okay, but when you do it in fast succession,
it kinda looks like this.
Feels like they stopped wherever they wanted to,
but they actually stopped the card you forced them.
If you're interested in learning any other methods
to force a card, I have a whole video
on three different forces that are super easy
that you can do, go check that video out.
And then after that, all you need to do is take a photo,
a live photo, so you grab your iPhone ,
i'll show you this in real time,
so this is my playing card,
this is the photo I'm going to take.
You're going to make sure this is on,
this up here is your live photo indicator,
that it's off now it's on,
meaning you have a live photo.
All you're gonna do here is very simple,
you're gonna turn the card this way,
to see the back of it, and you're going to take a photo,
and then just show that side.
Now when I look back at that photo,
boom so here it is, and you keep your finger on this photo,
here's what it looks like.
And obviously you won't get the audio capted on that.
You will only get the video when you put it as a background.
So then, very simple, you go to your settings,
once you're in settings, you go to the wallpaper,
you then click choose new background,
and set as lock screen and there you go.
After that, you're all set and
you will have this image of a playing card,
the back of a playing card on your phone.
You just have them put their finger on it,
and that picture should start moving without sound
and you'll be able to reveal a card.
The reason again that I love this so much is that
its so simple and honestly,
one of the more powerful effects in magic is,
when obviously you don't force a card.
If it's a freely named or freely thought of card
or object or word and so sometimes,
just having that on your phone, not actually using it,
having someone pick card randomly,
or saying a card and they say eight of clubs
or queen of hearts, or whatever it is.
Just having that on your phone
and being like oh here's my phone check It out,
keep your finger on the lock screen and bam,
there's that card and you know,
you don't necessarily have to force it.
It could just be a backup for when that miraculous moment
happens, which is kind of what I use it for,
but you know if you got a deck of card,
someone's like show me a trick, have them hold your phone,
force a card, do that onto (mumbles)
and that should work just fine.
So that is a really cool way of revealing a card.
Hope you enjoyed that, and by the way I got some packages,
let's check 'em out.
(singing)
got a few little packages in the mail.
I got this cool puzzle in the mail from Quinton,
who bought this off "art of play" so thank you Quinton.
I'm going to check that out and try to solve it,
just not right now.
Also, Bruce Lee deck. I do not currently
own a Bruce Lee deck, so thank you so much,
let me take these out, see what they
look like for a second here.
This kid also sent me a Resume apparently.
Matthew thank you so much for the heart felt,
printed out document letter'
(laughs)
Just kidding man, appreciate you.
Thank you for the cards.
I'm gonna definitely check these out.
These are the Bruce Lee cards (mumbles)
So on one side they look like this,
which is really cool, which is really nice,
nice little back design going on here,
but on the other side, check this out, like water.
I love that little black line,
Bruce lee jokers where he's like kicking your face,
these are actually super dope.
They look really cool, I wouldn't use these to perform,
because obviously.thanks Matthew.
Alright guys, that's it for today's video.
Hope you enjoyed this, slash vlog, slash stuff.
I wanna bring you guys into my world a little bit more,
and take you outside of this office from time to time
because its driving me nuts a little bit.
By the way, the 24th I will be in Columbus Ohio
for Magi-Fest which is going to be super dope,
so if you don't know that already,
Magi-Fest is a convention for magicians of all types.
So whether you're a beginner, an amateur or an expert,
or whatever, you're always invited to Magi-Fest,
if you don't have a pass, I don't know if there are
any passes left, however if you're in the Ohio area,
and the Columbus area, you can come hang out at the hotel,
people hanging out at the lobby all day,
they don't have a pass,
not encouraging free loaders here,
but if you're in the area, come drop by we'll be (mumbles)
we'll be hanging out, I'm looking forward to seeing
a lot of friends and getting a lotta content.
What did I just do to my setup?
Alright guys that's it. Thank you for watching,
like this video if you did,
