In-Depth Ambitious Card Routine! (Jumping Card Trick Revealed!)

hey welcome back guys today I’m going to teach you my variation of the ambitious card routine alright before we begin I’d like to thank everyone for leaving such positive comments in my last few videos

I’m really happy that you guys are learning from my tutorials and you guys are going out there and impressing some friends now onto my tutorial and the performance let’s say the spectator

chose the 4th clubs and they have this unique signature on the card what I would do is I would get the card lost somewhere in the middle of the deck push it in right there

like that and in theory because they sign that they have a connection special connection between the card and the spectator so if the spectator snaps her fingers like this in theory the 4 of

clubs should jump to the top let’s try that again take the 4 of clubs push it somewhere in the middle of the deck right there and if I push it in at the same time the 4th

Club is going to jump back up maybe that was too quick for you so this time I want to show you the 4 of clubs and go a bit slower than before take the 4 of clubs right there it’s right here push

it in score them up and in theory you should jump back up like this right but you’re the thing because just you sign the card it only works if you snap your fingers I’ll show you if I take the

4 of clubs and push it in the middle of the middle of the deck if I snap it snap my fingers like this in theory it’s not going to work right but if a different spectator snaps our fingers it’s not

going to work as well it only works if the spectator who signed it with this special sharpie snaps it’s going to work ok that’s pretty simple right now let’s take it a step farther what if I take

the 4 of clubs and kind of fold it like this ok like this so it has a little crease ok and then you can kind of see it right take the 4 clubs and then riffle down push it somewhere in the

middle of the deck right there so you can still see the crease right there and in theory you should see the moment it pops up three two one and there we go four of clubs jumps back to the top and

that’s the performance guys I hope you liked it stick around for the tutorial so in my variation of the ambitious card routine I take it step farther every single phase right so at the very start

it’s kind of cheesy it’s really just it looks like the sign of Han but it becomes more impossible and impossible as you go so in this tutorial I’m going to be using the red card as the signed

spectators card I’m not gonna sign that again and ruin another card I’ve done that enough so right off the bat what I would normally do is after they sign it I would explain to everyone that it’s a

really special card because this is the only card in the world with a signature only ace of spades in the world right and then as I say that I would get a top pinky break on the top card and get

ready to perform the models tilt like so if you don’t know what it is take check the description I’ll leave a link below and then I’ll pretend to push it in to the middle of the deck and at

the same time I would push it in the second from the top like that and then I’ll tell them to snap their fingers and then I would perform the double lift like so and say it jumped to

the top and then from right there I would do another double lift take the top card push it into the middle of the deck show it and then at the same time I’m pushing it I will pull down the top

card like so and then show that it jumped again right now this only works if you if you have spectators right in front of you what do you do if you have spectators right beside you because for

marlow stilt it’s really angle sensitive right if you do that and from the side you can see everything so what I would do is that I would do what Matt Franco did in a GT what I would do is while

everyone’s looking at people while everyone’s taking look at the ace of spades and the spectator is signing their card I would flip the top card over the wrist wrist wrist wrist kill

and then take their card show it to everyone put a face down like this and do another wrist kill like so so that you automatically have a double lift to start with and then from here I

would say I’m gonna take – I’m going to take your card put in the middle of the packet like this and push it in and in theory it’s going to jump back to the

top right so that would be my variation or my recommendation if you’re surrounded by spectators everywhere now you go into phase 2 which is a bit more impossible I guess it’s not a lot more

but it’s kind of a bit more impressive impossible so what I would do is from a mechanic’s grip I’ll transfer that into I’ll just put put my right hand right here thumbs at the bottom at the bottom

index in the ring finger at the top your two fingers are not doing anything pretty much and then using your left finger you’re going to get a pinkie break on the bottom card and then

transfer that into a thumb break now if you’re a beginner you might not know how to do it so for advanced you can just get a pinkie break easily anywhere but for beginners might want to give it a

little slant so it’s easier to stop on the very last card right so you got a pinkie break and then transfer that to a thumb break like so right now you have a clear thumb break and then from here

you’re going to do a swing cut like this if you don’t know how to do it it’s pretty easy you just swing and then cut and pretty much and I think I have a video made on that already and then once

you do that you should have you should still have a break on your right hand like so on the bottom card and from here this is the most important part you’re going to use this packet to flip over

the top card there is spectators card like this you’re going to do it once or twice or three times if you want and on the very last time you’re going to turn it and at the same time you’re going to

drop everything from the break but this is what this is what it’s important whenever you flip the card make sure you overlap and make it look like you’re squaring up so that they don’t see you

dropping this card it’s more invisible if you do this way okay I rink I highly recommend this way so don’t do like that okay now it just looks really sketchy and they can’t they’ll tell they can

tell that you’re not doing something right so you’re gonna do that once twice and then the third one you would drop and then from here you can make a one

handed fan and stick it into the fan like this and put it at the bottom like that or if you don’t have to make a one and defend you can just take the card stick into the middle of the packet and

then put it at the very bottom like so and say it’s at the middle of this deck right do whatever you want whatever you’re comfortable with but in theory if they snap their fingers

again like that it should jump to the top because you’ve controlled it to the top right now state this is phase 4 which is a lot more impossible you’re gonna do the same

thing get a pinky break transfer that to a thumb break swing cut and then turn over a packet once more and then from here you’re going to use a middle finger to push off one card

the spectators cards and then drop everything from the break so it should look like this and you shouldn’t have a break but then as soon as you drop it you’re going to perform a wrist kill

like so so the spectator does not see this card I’ll show you what it looks like if you don’t do the wrist kill from here it goes like that like that like that in that you don’t want them to see

this blue card right they’re going to know what’s up so from here when you but if you perform the wrist kill this is what it should look like at performance speed right

there and then what you’re going to do from here is you can either push it in using this packet while it’s squared up or if you’re advanced you can make a one handed fan and then push it in and then

stick to the fan stick the top part into the fan but if you don’t have to make a fan you can still stick it into the packet like so and then put at the very bottom what you have just done is that

you’ve controlled it to the top but then this time as I said before you’re gonna take it step farther you’re going to say that it only works if the spectator who signed it snaps her fingers so to

demonstrate this you’re going to get a break on their top two cards and then right off the bag you’re gonna snap your fingers and say look it doesn’t work when I do it right because it was a

double lift they are not going to notice like they can’t tell that it’s a double lift but if you do a double lift it will conceal the top card and then from there you’re going to grab the this packet

using your middle finger and your thumb and thence point to a different spectator and say hey now you snap right now you snap and see what happens you’re using this packet you’re going to push

up one card one top card and then flip it over like this this is very important from here say it it doesn’t work you don’t put it on the top you put it at the bottom so you’re kind of like

sandwiching the spectators card right it looks like that from the back so again let’s do it really quick I say it doesn’t work if I do it double lift and then from here flip another card score

them up score push it back put it on top of that again so and if you did it correctly its spectators card should be second from the top from here you’re going to point

to the spectator who actually signed it and say hey this time you try and then you do a double lift from here now this is the end of phase 3 phase 4 comes in now what happened is that as in my

performance I kind of crease the card by bending it like so right I’ll use the cards that are already bent okay I’m pretty sure I flashed in the video or performance but hopefully I didn’t but

anyways so from here you already have a double lift actually it was like this you have a double lift random card and the four of clubs from here you’re just going to grab the top and the bottom

like this of this edge really hard tight and then you’re just going to crease it you’re just going to make it seem like you’re bending the card right crease it without flashing anything and then once

you’ve done that you want to place it on the top like this and show them that it’s there’s a little bent like this right and then what you’re going to do is this is really important you’re going

to keep this card flat with your index finger push it down like so and then while you’re doing that you’re going to riffle down with your thumb would your left thumb like so or on half cut and

then using your thumb right here strip the top card to this packet and show that it’s actually still right here right actually it’s right here so you should have two of these but then

because you’re holding it down with your in their finger they can’t see this so this is happening with your left pocket from here you’re just going to drop this whole packet stay still keeping the

index finger on the top pressurized and then you’re going to transfer this into this grip now if you hold it tight they’re not gonna see this card doing this okay if you hold it tight at the

top in the middle it should keep everything flat and then you’re going to say on three I want you to come with me and snap at the same time go one two three at the same time you’re going to

release the very top card lightly and then it’s going to seem like the top cards jumped from the middle of the deck to the top now if you want something more effective you can go up to their

eye level and then do it at the same time so they can actually see when the card jumps to the top often I would get huge reactions out of this and hopefully you will also get huge reactions out of

this and that’s the tutorial guys I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you learn something good from this and I’ll see you next time peace

As requested, here is my variation to the ambitious card routine!!
