Would love to know if anyone has this one figured out. Other than Cyril that is.

The first one's...interesting.
Not too difficult to figure out if you watch closely. Not to nitpick, but that might be the worst false shuffle I've seen.
It's all in the reflexes.

Look since you stated you were pretty new,and since I don't know your age,I'm going to grant myself some latitude here. I am going to assume that you are young.[We all know what happens when you assume] that's right magic! There are strange and mysterious objects out there containing arcanic scriblings which if properly deciphered, can give you the answers to that which you seek. In my day they were called books. Sorry if this post offends you, but I don't believe in instant gratification. I worked long and hard for the knowledge I have, as have many others. I would suggest you start by learning an amb.card routine, and take it from there.

Well, the jump cuts don't help, but I'm reminded of something by Greg Wilson with the whole box thing.

Scrap,
It's not difficult to reverse engineer it if you're studied in card magic. Everything in this piece is covered in the literature, though I'd HIGHLY recommend doing a different false shuffle than the one Cyril used. It was terrible.

Scrapdizzy have you read the rules for the Café?
If you did, then you would know that tipping secrets is not allowed in this section.

How does Cyril make a woman see what he want her to see?(in the second vid)
I think David blaine did this too. Is there a special gaffed deck? or Is it merely slight of hand? Moving pips is simply speechless. I got goose bumps... |

Nothing new here. Although he really performs them flawlessly.

A good false shuffle or not, he's got those girls in the palm of his hand. Just like the David Blaine threads, you get people analyzing the technique, when the most interesting thing is how he works the specs.
I love Cyril. I may just start learning Japanese. Gruss, Jeff Goettingen |

I'm not a "finger flinger" so I couldn't pass judgement on the shuffle. Some of the stuff he did looked "artifical," I couldn't actually catch a sleight, but it did look convoluted. Having said that, I did enjoy the routine.
