On the TUBE, it's simply titled "magic trick"

Clearly, I’m going insane.

I don’t even know where to begin.

First of all, the title…”magic trick” – those terms are both used very, VERY loosely. It should have been called “semi-interesting anomaly”. Boring magic set to Rob Zombie is STILL boring magic. This is a demonstration of cards moving about while retaining their order. Yay! When you retain their order, they stay in order.

Trying to make a “counting card” trick interesting by adding bad-ass music doesn’t work. All it does is amplify the absurdity. I’m so sorry to tell you, but it’s just not cool at all.

Here’s another idea for you to work on. Take out the four aces, put them on the bottom of the deck. Spin around in circles seven times, then show everyone that even though you spun in circles, the aces are still on the bottom. AMAZING! Oh, and so people don’t get bored, do the whole thing while Iron Maiden’s “Can I Play with Madness” is blasting in the background.

What I’m trying to say is, there is no effect here. So don’t try to make it look cool. I would have been much happier with a totally bad-ass magic trick, and crappy music in the background. (I’m not a jerk. I’d much rather compliment the magic and make fun of the music selection!)

Rating: Six Milks. One for every time you cut the deck.

(Rating system is completely arbitrary, and based somewhat on my recent caffeine intake.)
