the matter of fact the demonstration is
in such lectures is usually made by
having a section of moving picture in
which you take a number of phenomena and
running the thing backwards and then see
all the left the left that just means
this ain't gonna happen in the real
world but actually that's a kind of a
weak way to put something which is so
obvious and deep as the difference
between the past and the future
[Music]
we remember the past we don't remember
the future we have no we only have it we
have a different kind of awareness about
what might happen then we have what most
likely has happened as a person future
look completely different
psychologically and so forth and the
questions of memory power and freedom of
will in the sense that we feel that we
can do something to affect the future
but none of us or very few of us believe
that there's anything you can do time is
a funny thing
people say you can give someone time you
can take someone's time you have time
you don't have time but realistically we
all have the same amount of time and all
you can do is share that time the
thought of time in a magic effect has
come up time and time again we often
play with the idea of time travel but
realistically we all know that time
travel isn't possible not yet but what
would it feel like if you did give
someone time what would it feel like if
you gave someone just even a couple
seconds more of their life welcome back
to the channel guys my name is Chris
Ramsey and today I'm gonna teach you
guys how to time travel with a deck of
cards this effect known as the time
machine by Roy Walton may be this effect
was developed by Roy Walton but later
changed up a bit one of the rare effects
where the slight complements the effect
the control the card control that you're
going to learn today is a bit Maki and
it's a bit weird and normally not
something you would go and do if you
choose to do a double lift or to replace
the double lift or anything like that
but in this effect particularly it kind
of aids to the effect because the deck
of cards is going to act sort of like a
small quote-unquote time machine that
you can wind up playing around with this
idea a lot it's a very fun effective
reform that's something you can do on
the fly that you don't need any setup
for and that can be done with any board
that should be mentioned as well the
GAVI Pereira's has an amazing routine
that he puts together with the time
machine plot and what more could you
give someone in time it's the most
precious thing we have and so he does
this effect and at the end he turns it
back just one second and says you are
going to have one extra second in your
life
and when you're on your deathbed
surrounded by all your friends and
family and loved ones and you're ready
to go you're gonna realize on your last
breath you have one extra second you're
gonna say to yourself and these are this
is sort of my take on this effect in my
handling for the effect so grab yourself
a deck of cards and let's learn how to
time travel alright for this effect I'm
gonna be using the James Coffey playing
cards these feel really nice they're fun
cards to use they last a long time
I'll leave a link below if you guys are
interested alright so first things first
you're going to have to know a few
things first you're gonna have to know
how to do double left and you're also
going to have to know how to do a
different kind of double lift a center
double and the center double that I use
is a bit different nakki ER than
normally so normally a center double is
you riffle down your index hits that
break your middle finger then gets ready
to grab two cards so your thumb here is
going to sort of riffle off two cards
onto your middle finger like this one
too alright once it catches that your
middle finger
normally pivots it aside and then you
can take the cards out like that and
that's two cards is like this and that's
normally how you do a Center double
however today I'm going to teach you how
to swivel out the center double a little
bit more in a key but definitely
definitely worth learning so they say
stop whenever they want the index
contacts this part your middle finger
goes here one two it's the same thing
now as I rotate it my middle finger on
the dealer's hand is going to contact
that corner as this hand goes this way
and basically swivels it out so what it
looks like
it is kinda like that so now it makes it
sort of protrude to the front and again
that's a double let's try that again
they stop one two you're here and you
sort of swiveled it out inside now
that's gonna take a bit of practice one
two you're here
remember middle finger is here and your
middle finger is going to be that
fulcrum point at that point of pivot for
the cards to go around look simple but
it will take some practice so one two
alright we'll use this card here and the
cards generally stick together really
well when doing that so this is a lot of
fun as you're here is this hands going
to come over top you're going to pinch
the corner here with your middle finger
and thumb and now your index is going to
be the fulcrum point on this part so
what you're gonna do is your thumbs
gonna slide this way and your middle
fingers gonna slide that way okay so
that card is now going into palm here's
here's where gets complicated the index
is going to swivel this card like this
your other index underneath is going to
be the other fulcrum point okay they say
stop on to swivel it out now here you're
going to pinch that top and your index
is going to just swivel that top card as
this one goes down into palm basically
and your index on the other side is
contacting the card that is there they
think this is their card but their cards
actually here being called out you're
going to leave your index there because
it creates a nice pivot point see if my
index is contacting it allows it with
the pressure to be rotated like that
which is kind of nice this card pinch at
the top middle finger here thumb here
index is just used to sort of swivel
this out thumb goes this way middle
finger goes in so that your plumbing at
this card
index is on the bottom and just like
that now you're in this sort of lateral
palm and from the front is is very nice
because you can even open up your
fingers it's kind of like a natural
position to be in
and once you're here well you're gonna
have to replace this card and the
justification for replacing that is to
swivel this which is for me kind of like
winding up a clock on a time machine
here as I go to replace notice my thumb
is here the entire time because I can
slide it right under and as I'm here my
middle fingers here it's going to reach
over here and give that one more turn
before I push it in they see the card
you're here and again the idea is I want
to rotate this card right so to do that
I have to come on this side of the deck
and that's when I'm dropping the cards
on here and then I'm rotating all in one
motion so that becomes completely
invisible and even from the front just
the right amount of blocking so again
this can be performed from the front so
you're here
as this is here notice I'm in pom my
thumb is down which is fine which is a
nice little visual retention I'm gonna
replace it under my thumb in my middle
finger and then I can show everything
super clean as I push that in okay now
essentially you've sort of wound up the
clock and by the way there's this little
I like to use my necklace for this you
know half you can use your thumb but it
kind of looks like you're winding up a
little trinket so if you just riffle
there and keep pressure here
you're gonna get a cool little sound so
you can before the effect starts wind it
up go for the double they see the card
as in here it's pushed in and now the
card is controlled on top so ask them to
remember a card before you start this
you can say listen you're gonna have to
remember two cards I really want you to
pay attention or you can do this to two
spectators now you're going to double
lift off the top
whatever double lift you're comfortable
with showing this card asking them to
remember this then you're going to take
that card and place it into the middle
but not all the way now normally with
the time trial with the time machine
this goes in and just out to reveal the
card I like to turn it the other way or
seemingly the other way I'll tell them
I'm gonna turn it the opposite way
because we've wound up this clock and
now I just take my middle finger I'm at
the same pivot point on my index go here
and now the index go here and now I can
take it out in the veal that it was the
first card and the other one is still on
top show them a card you say I'm gonna
wind this up just like a clock
leave it somewhere in the middle and
we'll take the next card down which is
the ace of hearts and we're gonna leave
the Ace of Hearts somewhere in the
middle but I'm actually gonna turn back
time just just a little bit just before
your six of Spades was put in the middle
and the Ace of Hearts was still on top
and that with the time machine all right
guys so that was my version of the time
machine I hope you guys enjoyed that I
hope you guys practice this a lot it
does it will take some practice for it
to look naturally the replacement
obviously is a bit Maki and you don't
want any cards protruding or any weird
unnecessary finger movement so to get to
that point it will take some time but I
have faith in you you can do it so
thanks again make sure to LIKE this
video if you did subscribe if you're new
here and check out the links below I
dropped also one of Roy Waltons books
that you guys can check out which has a
ton of more card magic effects that are
highly practical and beautiful and I
highly recommend it we'll see you on the
next video oh by the way I'm going to
New York next week I'm spending a week
there I can't tell you for what just yet
I don't think we're allowed to announce
it but really really exciting
nonetheless I'm gonna be linking up with
other youtubers and we'll see what comes
of it but guys thanks so much for tuning
in and we'll see on the next video
