Shen a rather the joke. Good morning, I can see the outfit. Yeah, I love So here's the thing last time you're here you blew us away, I mean after you left we're also yeah figure out how you did it and before we start I do want to make it clear we want to mention that we we're providing this deck of cards what I pick it up, yeah, we're providing someone she needs a shuffle to okay. The remove the remove the ad cards, okay, I'll add cars and shuffle that. Of course you have to keep it. Offensive okay, so I'm doing that okay, and everyone at home make sure you grab for regular playing cards. Yeah, it's going to take some time to do so in the meantime we're going to warm up now guys okay in life things always kind of sometimes a line. Yeah, yeah, I would say they're kind of in sync to just stop the car, no not like that haha okay, Craig here. All of the cards is crazy is that we might have lost cards are not aware. So I want to almost have a prediction out here OK now Al yes, Sir. Make sure no one touches these hold on tight to your hand all right down you say stop at any time you want. Stop right here. Take a look at the card. Okay, and everyone see it, it's take take the card. Yeah, yeah, just just just the car just to show people at home. Yeah, yeah, show to everyone. Yeah, yeah, I want I want to look at the screen outlook right at the background over here, okay, got a nice background. I didn't go anywhere near those cards right out and remember everyone I said things are in sync how it what what is that card and now it doesn't matter that time is a Jack right how many Jacks are there in the deck, there's 4 to 4, yeah, look at the 3 cards in your hand and show to everyone at home that move for Jax so we're going to try this. This time here. Yeah, the Jax but I could take any 4 cards any 4 cards at all yeah, everyone's can take any 4 cards and everyone everybody got the 4 cards of the day. Yeah, any 4 cards any 4. It really doesn't. I think you have you know 3. Any 4 can you give me any 4 cards Craig. Okay, one. Already her okay. So we look at everyone at home do exactly as I'm doing we're going to learn how to cut the cards. So this is how you cut the cards like at a casino talking about because you know they take top cards like this go ahead and cut it to the bottom right like that very good to take the car from the top from to the bottom that can be one or 2 or 3. All right so everyone does anyway, yeah, but as long as you're cutting the cars from the top to the bottom to the bottom of a very good everyone have 4 cards. Yeah, I know we're going to make it even more difficult. Okay, we're going to turn this into 8 cards and usually dealers have to do this with 52, but we're going to start slow to tear all 4 cards in half hold a sideways like this this way to the cause I ways like this and tired and have yeah, go ahead, you can do it believe in yourself okay, push as hard as you can to start with it very good okay, and place one packet on top of the other all right. All right now do the same thing kind of some cars from the top doesn't matter how many doesn't matter how many from the top and on the bottom okay, cutting the cards right now. Yeah, doing that and and Dylan any number. Numbers in one 5 go got to say it up to 2 everyone take the top 2 cards cut to the bottom. Now we have to follow exactly what Dylan says okay, how any numbers in one 5 go. No 3, 3, 3, this time everyone take the top 3 cards right take the top 3 cars and insert it into the middle. The top 3 cards and insert it into the middle just. Yeah in the exact middle. Essentially not now we're really shuffling that I don't know if that's what my name is foxy you want to and once you've done that ever take the top card take the top card card into your pocket. If you have a pocket you can sit on the card. In a ruffle. I know how you said 3 so everyone think of that number 3 in your head to 3 spread the cars like this in a little fan. Take one card from the middle. The middle, yeah, take a look at the middle and toward the shoulder. All right, good do it again take a look at it from the middle of the shoulder anywhere from the middle. Yeah, keep going on to the left with just 3 cards, I'm really worried about this one. Yeah, this is for good luck. Okay, so but we're trying to see where all 3 have 3 keep going to have 3. All right very good. Top middle bottom. No no take the middle card and throw it over his shoulder. Yeah, a choice. Bottom. Top part and throw the top part of your shoulder there. All right, so let's go over what we just did we shuffled those cars. It was very messy so I really hope we're all in think we might not be. Everyone take the car from your Wait a shuffle of the cards, okay. So hopefully not only does the backs of the cars match. What the. And I had the Joker wow oh perfect.
