Magic Tricks

Arrangements by Lennart Green is quick, to the point, easy to learn, and should be added to the tool belt of any magician. It utilizes some very basic principles that refreshingly do not take weeks, days, or even hours to learn. But these principles combined with your own creativity or even just the tricks Lennart shows you, can pack a serious punch! Even when you know you are doing the false shuffle, it fools your own eyes.

As I watched the video, I had a note pad open and began writing down all the possibilities that were coming to my head. If you are a student of mnemonica, the rosetta shuffle can be a powerful accomplice to show that the deck is in fact randomized.

The simple technique he teaches of arranging the deck into separate colors is so genius and easy that you'll wonder why you haven't learned it your first week of practicing magic. If it is your first week, I highly recommend investing $10 on this gem of knowledge. You'll never forget how to do it. And the practical technique is resistant to perishability if you allow your cards to gather dust now and then.
