I don't believe for a second this is for real. The effect is so simple and it was done wrongly from the very start, yet he carried on with the instructions. I'm confused.

That can't be real. Surely he realized he was giving the wrong instructions somewhere along the line?? Like Queenie, I'm confused also......

I know yeah.He gave the wrong instructions.He must have had a bad day or something.How he gets out of it at the end is absolutly hilarious,with the 5 and then the last ace is then the 6th card.I was litterally in tears laughing at this!!!Cant imagine it being fake though

My first thought was jet lag.

1. This isn't Valentino. He is much too big. Valentino is much smaller.

2. No professional magician of Valentino's ability would go on live TV and perform a trick available in library books.

3. No professional magician would go on live TV and perform a trick requiring a spectator to deal out cards, its too dangerous.

4. Whoever he is, he held his bottle to some extent and got out of the mess. All credit to him for that.

He was probably just helping Valentino out during the busy period. :D

who ever this is, This video actually serves as a great leson in thinking on your feet. Rather along the lines of vernons trick that cant be explained.

indeed the clip of Chan Canasta getting himself out of the crapp with Michael Parkinson, uses a simalar ruse.
