Man! I'd love to see the rest of the video. I'd love to get into this kind of stuff.

Any idea which false riffle shuffle he's using?

You can see him doing some rearranging and cutting to get the deck in proper order (i.e., 4C on top 9D on the face). The Heinstein dislocates the top card and accommodation must be made to get the deck back in the right order. I am pretty sure Blaine does this. Just before he hands the deck to the spec you can see him riffle the inner end to find 9D and cut it to the bottom. My best guess, anyway... |

Is the second trick here really a subliminal force?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadpvjuwBiY Can anyone please recommend a source to learn this force? Thanks! |

Definitely not the Heinstein--there is no covering top card. However, the truffle leaves the deck cut, and he has to go back and reset it to canonical stack order before commencing Mnemonicosis. |

I've been doing this trick for weeks now. It's the Show off shuffle. You can tell because he riffles through them to flex them back. Also I think any false shuffle will work. Doesn't matter really.

Here's another copy of David's full Cambridge Union performance, for those of you who want to see it.
https://youtu.be/Jc8soAhOKE0 Does anybody know the name of the second trick he does, where he has the girl take out 5 cards and think of one? Where can I learn this? |

As far as I know, this exact divination is not in print. It's a standard one for the type of magic he is doing except for that he names the exact card she was merely thinking of. My best hint is listen to the dialogue at 4:52 and on very carefully over and over and watch what is happening. I think you can figure it out from there

The basic methodology is there, but the effect as seen is not published. What makes it great is the little details before the divination of the card, IMO. And yes, this is Asi's.

Ah I see. Thanks guys!

I assumed it was Asi's or Tamariz's, but it for sure is not in Asi's book.

As I said before, the methodology, not the trick, is in the book. If you own Chapter One and study it, you'll know how this effect is accomplished. However, the trick itself I believe has not been published, and to me the divination of the card, while baffling, isn't what makes the routine. It's like watching someone with a center tear - it's how they milk it that makes it good.

I do own it and have certainly studied it, yet I don't recall the methodology behind this specific divination being in the book within any of the tricks or essays (but my memory is of course not perfect). Upon a cursory second reading sparked by this discussion, I again could not find anything. I am just talking specifically about the divination of the thought of card, nothing else. The rest is all well known and documented (Mnemonicosis, a straightforward stop trick to match the divination, and a basic OOTW, and then a gimmicked sharpie trick). If you have a page number or numbers, I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong.
You are of course right that milking the routine is crucial here, but that's generally true of most tricks, specifically "hands off" routines. To spectators, the Mnemonicosis beforehand is probably at least as impressive, if not more so. I just want to make sure we are on the same page here. EDIT: I found it! It was in the last trick, the SINGLE trick I never read because I didn't care for the effect. I am always glad to be wrong. My apologies. |

Haha glad you found it. It's a very interesting idea.

How about at around 1:35 when he finishes stacking the mnemonica order? What kind of shuffle is this? He used this shuffle (which I assumed was false) in his appearance on Jimmy Fallon as well.

If you haven't already, look at the Truffle Shuffle. Blaine does it differently, but it's basically that. There are a number of people who do similar types of shuffles...
