Awesome Bullet trick! (Shoot cards out of the deck!)
hey what’s up guys today I’m going to share with you a really cool card trick called the bullet alright so you’re going to notice that I have a card facing down in the left top corner of a
screen but don’t worry about it I’ll show you and reveal the card when the time comes so to get started we’re actually going to go ahead and pick a random card and
let’s say the spectator or you chose this card I’m not gonna see it I’ll turn away from the camera and hopefully the camera can see it and that’s the card you have chosen hopefully you got a good
glimpse of it and what we’re going to do is we’re going to get the card some are lost in the middle of the deck like so from here we can give the deck a few cuts like this or more use a table
utilize it and you can give the deck a really quick shuffle like so or a few cuts okay or a civil cut I’ve been done this in a while but let’s see if the camera can catch the whole thing there
we go so your card I don’t know what is lost somewhere in the middle of the deck okay now let’s actually reveal what the card here is it’s actually the ace of spades
okay so why the ace people might be asking why do you have these space why did you choose the ace of spades there are four different kinds why the ace of spades so well actually it’s because
this card is actually called a bullock-cart um I don’t know if you guys play poker or if you guys are old enough or if you guys have been playing poker with your friends or families just for
fun but if you have two aces in in your hands while playing Texas Hold’em it’s called bullets or bullet N or whatever you guys want to call it and
the name itself I think actually came from this card trick or this card magic trick so rather than going in depth with a history and all again really boring too boring and stuff
I’m actually going to show you demonstrate why this is going to be called the bullet card okay so if you have a bullet naturally you’re going to be needing a gun okay
so what we’re going to do is we’re going to try our best to make a gun out of our deck of cards like so okay see how this kind of represents a gun see a gun hopefully that makes sense so we’re
going to take the bullet card and we’re actually going to lock it load lock it like this and then if you shoot it towards the mat so it stays on the screen hopefully one card is like oh
come on and that is your card the five of Hearts let’s see how it’s done okay before we get started I do have to apologize for getting the card out of the screen you might think that that was
a false trick or false performance but I assure you I tried my best and that was like my 14th or 15th take but I just could not get the card to stay within this box so I’m sorry but I just went
with it and that’s going to be my take for the performance okay so there are actually two different methods of doing this card trick number one if you’re intermediate you can actually Farrow the
deck of cards and do exactly what I did if you know how to Farrow a deck of cards like so you can follow my performance exactly as it is but if you don’t know how to Farrow a deck of cards
it should be fine as long as you know how to riffle shuffle like so okay so don’t worry at all now let’s get on to the tutorial right away this is for intermediates beginners you can still
watch this and you should so watch this because I’m going to be referencing to this part of the video constantly during your tutorial okay so again you’re going to pick out the
ace of spades it fits in the middle of the deck like so you can actually like tilt the deck away from the spectators so they can’t see what which card you picked out and you can put it on the
table in your pocket do whatever you want okay from here you can get the card or a spectator to pay a random card it doesn’t matter it’s a free choice and for this performance to
make it a lot easier for you guys in this tutorial we won’t use this red card read back hard with just Henry The Joker okay so this is Henry the Joker I think this is a really appropriate name I
don’t know he looks like Henry doesn’t he so let’s say the spectator chose this card what you’re going to do is you’re actually going to take their card and
get it lost in the middle of the deck by rippling down the side I’m pushing it in like so and you’re going to get a pinkie break and do a double on there cut to bring the card to the very top back like
this okay from here what I did in my performance was I gave it a quick riffle shuffle like so while maintaining Henry on the very top okay so for your for you whatever you the card that you’re
practicing would should be remaining at the top from here I gave it a quick fall should cut like this and I think I did a civil cut but you don’t have to do it okay it’s only if you’re comfortable and
you want to be fancy in your trick so you don’t really have to do this but I did it anyways because I don’t know I just felt like it so once you control their car to the very top you’re going
to do something really simple you’re just going to fare with this deck but you’re going to fare with this tag this deck of cards in a very specific way you’re going to Farrow the smaller
packet into the bigger packet and the smaller packet is going to be the top portion of the deck so instead of dividing the cards in half like so which is what you would usually do when you’re
favoring a deck of cards you’re going to split the deck maybe like this okay so the top packet which contains the their card or Henry should be smaller and the bottom packet should be a bit larger
okay this is because you’re going to be fair owing smaller packet into a bigger packet so this is what it would look like okay it doesn’t have to be perfect but it’s really good if it is because it
just helps with the tray okay so that would be a bad example because you’re not favoring completely at the very top okay so if you want to do it perfectly let’s
see if I can do it perfectly there we go that’s a perfect Pharaoh I think maybe one mistake right there or it’s either that or the cards are a bit bent but hopefully farrowing is pretty good
yeah it looks pretty good so far so once you favor the deck of cards you’re actually going to tilt the cards 90 degrees this way to your right right so which will actually form a gun at this
point you’re going to take the ACE and then you’re going to put this loaded the specific matter you’re not gonna shove it anywhere here that’s just not gonna work you’re going to shove it in a
specific way okay actually let’s not use the word shelf let’s use the word place it okay so you’re going to take the bullet and place it by pushing on to the top packet or the red packet in this
case down and if you push the packet like this you’re going to notice that you’re going to create this gap between the top pocket and this packet right here okay so by doing so you can
actually slide a packet like this so push down slide okay that will actually this is what it does I’ll show you what it does by removing this packet this card the bullet card is naturally
naturally going to find the Joker okay see how they’re in the same compartment in a way so again if you push down and then slide it down you’re actually going to be in the same compartment so that if
you push the Joker from the bottom you’re actually going to be pushing I mean the ace from the bottom you’re going to be pushing the red card like so okay so again if you find the right
space you’re going to do this now once you find the right space you’re going to be the ACE is going to be out jogged quite a bit so what you’re going to do is you’re going to slightly slowly very
slowly push it in from the very bottom and you’re going to feel this nudge or feel this kind of barrier and that barrier is your card hitting the Joker or the bullet card or
the spectators card from here if you push it a bit too much see the card will slide out so just play with it so you’ll feel the nudge see I just felt that there on another one and another one see
every time I do it the top card actually moves forwards a bit so once you feel that nudge you’re going to stop pushing it in and you’re going to do one of two things you can either flick it like how
I did in my performance or you can actually tap it or tap it harder depending on what you want to do now this is the fun part you can actually get the spectator to catch the card you
can be like okay I’m going to try to shoot out one card to you it’s not gonna hurt it’s just gonna fly and then you you know it’s gonna like levitate for a second it’s not gonna hit you in the eye
okay so don’t worry about that it’s gonna go really slow to you so try to catch it and that’s what you’re gonna say and you’re going to aim the card and then jam it at the very bottom which
will actually get the Joker or the spectators card to fly out to them okay so that’s why I think this is such a great trick it’s fun interactive and everyone loves this trick okay
so I’ll try to do it from this end and if you push it from right there see one card flies out and those are relatively weak push that’s why it’s lonely that much but in theory if you push it really
hard or jam it the card is going to spin out like so okay and it should go towards spectators so if you practice this enough you’re going to get a feel for it and you’re actually going to find
out which strength works best for you okay sorry for shaking the camera a bit now that’s pretty much the tutorial for the beginner I mean intermediates and here’s one tip
before I move on for to the beginners when you hold the gun don’t hold it too tight it’s not a death grip you just want to have your middle finger ring finger and your pinky finger and the
smaller edge and your thumb should be resting on the top and your index finger should be like laying across like this at the back okay and if you hold it too loose the cars are going to slip and
fall okay so try not to hold it too loose or too tight it should be like a modern the intermediate kind of strength so that’s pretty much the tutorial for the
intermediates and I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial now let’s get on to the beginners so um for beginners instead of faring the cards you’re going to be doing a riffle shuffle and if you
guys don’t know what that is get out of my challenge I’m just kidding just kidding you can find various other channels on YouTube that teaches you how to shuffle cards by rippling like so
which is really cool okay you look professional and I think this is a basics format a lot of magicians so you’re going to do the exact same thing let’s say they pick up their car this
red card what we’re going to do is we’re going to get the card lost in the middle of the deck and bring in to the top by controlling it very controlling just pop like so okay I’m gonna just a camera
because the lighting is really bad right now so I’m gonna have to apologize for that but anyways once you have controlled Henry to the very top you’re going to riffle the deck of cards in a
very specific way after you introduce the ace of spades okay so when your riffle riffle shuffle almost refill the cards you’re going to do the exact same thing you’re going to take the smaller
packet which is going to be at the top portion and riffle it inside or between the large packet okay so let’s say instead of like instead of rippling it down like this as you you’re
doing a real riffle shuffle you it’s a lot better if you cut it like this from the side so you have a visual of what how much of the cards you’re cutting okay so from here you have a smaller
packet on your right hand and bigger packet on your left hand so you’re going to start off with your left hand riffle down the few cards like so okay that allows you to make a gun okay so it’s
very important that you start with your left hand so riffle down with your left hand a few cards and then you’re gonna grifoll as if you’re actually reeling about the parts and once you get to the
very end of your right packet or the red packet your very last card you’re going to hold onto it and riffle down on your left hand a few times and then riffle down on your right hand and
the riffle what that does is that it creates the exact same effect of the Faro shuffle it isolates the spectators card away from every other card see how it’s isolated by three cards from this
card and nothing else on the very top this allows you to perform this trick at a per performance speed this is what it would look like just in case you guys want to know what it looks like so you
riffle down if you want to see I can get the size pretty relatively really well but if you don’t come feel comfortable you can actually do that cut it off like so and again you’re going to start
whittling down this card see what I’ve just done is that isolated the red part away from every other card just by doing so okay so oh come on why did I just do that so once you get that down once you
get that down you’re going to do the exact same thing and tilt the cards 90 degrees like so as if it’s a gun then you’re going to hold onto this packet the bigger packet and notice how because
you started rippling with this this card pack this packet and and the riffle with this packet you’re going to be able to hold it like so like this okay which is perfect and from here you’re going to do
the exact same thing that I’ve taught the intermediates you’re going to take the bullet card and push it down stick it in like so and give it a slow nudge which we and you’re in the feel that
you’re going to be reaching the river card from here you can actually flick or just tap which will make the card fly out like so and that was a really recap that’s why it just fell off but if you
tap it a bit harder it’s just gonna shoot out across the room and that’s pretty much the tutorial guys I know it’s long but I had to create two different tutorials for two different
levels of people so everyone can know how to do this trick so anyways I hope you really enjoy this trick and and you can actually perform this and show a lot of friends and impress the out of
them and have a really good time doing this I hope you enjoyed enjoyed watching my video and I’ll see you guys time peace
