I don't usually post in this section .... BUT .....

..... I think this merits a post in here :)

I have absolutely no idea at all how this could be achieved:

Thoughts anyone ??

I'm not asking for direct hints .... I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea how this could be done ??

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

That is madness!!

Well the only visible thing I can see are the counts. I'm no media expert but it doesn't look as if the film is cut in any way to edit the change of packet. Really, really interesting.

Watched it 8 times now!!!!

My thoughts exactly.

First thing I thought when he was counting the cards was E*****y count, but that doesn't help explain a single thing.

I've watched it too many times now .... my head is spinning >.<

Each time the pack is discarded it sets up - just as in an E*****y count - the next revelation........probably totally wrong but that's one theory.

Peter Pellikaan has a website where he sells downloads of his tricks; I bought a couple off him. He has some really unusual and interesting stuff. The site seems to be down at the moment, I'm not sure for how long.

Peter is just an absolute legend. I have seen him do things no others can. I often don't want to know because I love being fooled.

He is a machine. lol

I'd definitely buy those downloads. The effect is fantastic. Shown my wife the youtube video and she was totally bemused.

Brilliant and it totally had me fooled. Then I remembered something and on my fifth run through I saw what it was. I only know this because I was once performing an effect at a magic convention and Martin Gardner happened to be watching and he showed me a little something which would help with the effect. Mr. Gardner could not actually demonstrate the move convincingly and I never have been able to either. And now here I sit watching it to perfection. Absolutly wonderful.

I don't mind not being able to perform a certain move, etc ..... it's the not knowing, that winds me up .... and if there's no camera trickery involved in this (which I doubt there is) .... I am well and truly out of ideas - apart from the previously mentioned lapping, which I also doubt it is :(

That's pretty beautiful. Clearly, as others have noted, a combination of an E****** C**** and a very swish ditch, but I had to go through frame-by-frame before I was sure. Wow.

It looks like his site/shop is back up again, also some of his downloads are available from Lybrary.com.
