- What's up guys, and welcome back.
I'm super excited to let you know
that I've partnered up with Samsung to create this video
that you're gonna see today.
It was actually a pleasure shooting with the Galaxy Note9
because of the features that come with this phone,
such as the Pro Mode which allows you to choose your ISO,
your aperture, and even your shutter speed.
So we've combined some of the features using the Pro Mode,
as well as the high cool apps
which gives you really cool time lapses,
and the super slow motion.
And here's what we came up.
(slow electronic music)
it was a nice change to get out there and shoot
without having to log around heavy equipment,
it was a nice change of case, and as you can see,
the quality of the footage that came out of it
is really impressive.
He's holding his card.
- No.
- No?
- No.
- No, you're not holding.
He is holding your card.
But I didn't stop there.
I didn't wanted to juts give you guys a few minutes
of insane B Roll Up, but I also wanted to show you
a magic trick that you guys can perform at home.
Here's what that trick looks like.
(slow electronic music)
it's just something I came up with a few years ago
which allows you to change the back
or the face of the playing card multiple times.
So it's great for something you could post on social media.
Literally looks like a camera trick,
but I guarantee you it isn't,
and we're gonna dive into how this is done right now.
All right guys, I hope you enjoyed that intro.
As I said, it was actually a pleasure shooting
'cause of the features that come with this phone.
It acts as a real camera.
So if you're into videography, or photography,
or anything else, this is an actual camera
that you can go out shoot with, so very cool for that.
Al right guys, now I'm gonna teach you this trick.
So, this trick is a very cool visual trick.
I performed this a few years ago,
you might have seen it on my Instagram,
and today, I'm gonna reveal and show you guys
how you can do this at home now.
It is to be noted that this particular trick,
although can work in a real world absolutely,
and you don't have to use playing cards.
You can use objects if you like.
I personally like using this trick for camera.
So, setting up your phone here with a top down set up,
this is a great little visual that you guys can use
to post on your own social media,
and play around with your own playing cards.
Obviously, I'm using the back design,
you could have used the faces, you can do whatever you like.
I'm just gonna teach you the technique
in how I came up with this.
So, super, super simple.
You're gonna need three magnets.
So that's one, two, and three.
And so, very, very basic.
Again, you can do this with one card, two cards,
three cards, four cards.
You can them change up to three times.
So one, two, and then three.
Obviously, the more cards that you add,
the more difficult it's gonna be
because the cards are going to one and misalign
every time you take one off.
So it will take you a few takes.
Took me about five takes to get a proper take,
which isn't so bad.
Basically, this is the setup.
So, you're gonna wanna take a magnet
and strap it to the back of the phone.
Now, these magnets are very thin,
and they're not very strong.
I don't encourage you to use very, very strong magnets
when putting them on your phone,
but use a very, very thin magnet.
You can find them online.
Then you have to figure out the orientation of the magnets.
So I like to put it about here, so that the first card,
si going to hold right about there.
So, you're gonna lay the top card
of whatever you're going to do.
You're gonna lay that face,
like face up on the back of this phone.
And you're going to stick your magnet there,
and make sure that the polarity of the magnet
is attracted to the other one.
Then you're simply gonna take some scotch tape,
and tape that down.
You're also going to do that with another card.
But this time, you want that magnet
to be at a different spot.
So choose a spot that allows the card
to still be hidden by the phone.
But that's not the same spot as this one.
Because you don't want them being picked up
at the exact same time.
So something like that should be fine.
And the final card you're going to reveal,
obviously has the magnet, and that can be shown as clean.
So that is your initial setup.
Pretty simple, nothing complex,
which is how I like to perform magic.
The next step you're going to do, is also very simple.
You're going to have to take a few pictures with your phone.
You're gonna wanna start with the last card first
because in the camera roll, as you swipe through,
it's going to show as the last card.
So you wanna start with the last card first.
So, go ahead and take a picture.
Now once that's done, you wanna take the next card,
and try to get the exact same frame size,
and exactly where it would be positioned.
And you wanna take that.
And that's it.
And now you're done.
So this point, we can go ahead.
And once we're ready to open the camera,
we're already going to have those pictures on file.
So, the setup is as follows, I want the red one on top,
and I want this one here, and I want this one here.
And so, the first magnet is going to be on the bottom.
Now, when I started this video,
you see me cleanly drop these cards down
and they don't fall apart, just like that
which is really nice.
That might take some practice.
You can try a few times, sometimes they will split,
in which case, you just do it again, keep recording.
And once you get that perfect fall down,
that's when you're going to start your tricks.
There we go, we're good, they're not split,
I'm going to open my camera.
And now you're going to hold it in such a fashion
where it allows you to swipe, okay?
You wanna take one picture, about the same distance
you took a picture of the other ones.
And if you're worried about this showing up,
you can also just keep your finger there
- if you're filming it top down, it's not too bad.
You can keep your finger there.
Take a picture.
Now, when you look back, that card is going to be there,
so it's not flashing the other card.
You're gonna go into that camera roll,
and you're going to basically bring this over,
and hover it over.
Now because it's the bottom one,
I wanna start from the bottom,
and you're gonna hear it stick to that, okay?
Once it's stuck to that, obviously we're on the next card.
And now as you see, they split.
So I probably have to restart this shooting process again.
But for the sake of teaching you,
I'm just going to run through it, so.
Boom, that first card is gone, so you wanna swipe,
showing this one.
So now, once that's done, you can go on top of here,
and you wanna swipe again, showing that one.
Put the phone down, and you can turn over this card.
Now you see at the back of here, this is very dirty
and not clean, you'll not wanna show the back of that.
You wanna make sure as well,
that that doesn't happen when you set your phone down,
you want that to be nice and square
because if you do this, they're gonna see that,
and you're gonna have to wanna restart shooting.
So, if ever you didn't get that take on the first try,
super simple, basically you go back into your photos,
and you delete the first one you took.
Delete, back, back,
and restart again.
So, let's try this one more time.
We're here, you can even show that card if you like.
Drop them down, make sure they're not split.
Open up the camera,
we wanna hide that little thumbnail here,
so we're going to do this,
and we're going to take a quick snap.
Let that fit into the pictures.
Show this here.
As that comes up here, you wanna swipe,
you wanna show the next one.
Again, not lined up.
So this point, we would have to restart.
I would go back, and delete this photo, and start again.
It is a little bit time consuming but the way is see it,
is when you're posting something in social media,
you have all the time in the world
to make something look good, especially magic.
You might as well take your time with it.
So again, we're going to start off here.
Put that down.
Oh, it split.
There we go.
Open the camera, we're going to take a picture.
Open up the camera roll, have a look at these cards.
Say, now, you know what, this card won't do,
let's use a different card, let's use this one.
And you know what, that card actually won't do either.
Oops, and you wanna go the other way obviously,
and then show that card, and then you are completely done,
and clean on this card,
and you just put this back in your pocket.
And thank you again to Samsung
for partnering with me on this video.
All right guys, that's it for this video.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Let me tell you, it was fun to get out there
and challenge myself using something
that I'm not necessarily super comfortable with
in getting to know a different technique.
I thought, that really took me outside of my box,
and made me, and forced me to be creative
which is amazing.
Also, I hope you liked that tutorial on the card trick
using a phone.
It's something you guys can use whenever you like
feel free to play around with it,
and maybe come up with your own versions of the trick.
Anyways guys, if you enjoy this video, thumbs up,
subscribe if you're new here, and we'll see you on the next.
Peace out.
