Cool trick
That was amazing
Why it’s only for about 8seconds?
I can’t watch the full length.
Now that’s how you control a stacked deck!!!!!!!!!!! Briliant!!!!
well the cards he uses are diffrent then the ones that he was shuffleing the ones on the table were blue!
The cards on the table weren’t blue.
that was kinda dumb
That was a good trick, but, it should have ended with a ace high roll flush. Earl
Wonderful tricks, I actually found myself laughing and applauding.
Best I’ve seen, and at 65 I have seen plenty.
that trick was amazing!
@Earl
It is impossible to end that trick on a Royal as if you were paying attention all four of the Kings, Queens, and Jacks were used early on in the trick as as first in walked four guys all dressed as kings, then Sam went to get some more players and found four guys named jack, then he went and got some ladies each of them queens.
See early in the trick you have forced off the ability to make a royal at the end so the best possible hand to make is a straight flush. Remember that he only has one deck of cards.
But yes Amazing Card Control is required to even attempt this trick
I’m not much of a card player(only kid games)at 47 but that was amazing and entertaining,i wish i could have taped it,i’d like to see his show!I was cheering myself.

what an easy trick to figure out, I know how he does that, so simple!
To Owyn999…You need to watch the video again and listen at the end. He said the trick WAS ended with a STRAIGHT flush, not a royal which you said couldn’t be done and which you thought he said.
Bravo!
Sometimes the hustle is more fun than the trick.
That was good. Thank you.
That was great!
amazing! that was great.. I have watched it more than once and I’m always amazed. And, the bantering with the audience makes it even better! BRAVO
Best stacked deck card trick I have ever seen. At 64 I have seen a few. The amazing thing is he has to re-stack the deck before each table play, while bantering. Timmy O’Tool says it is easy and he figured it out. I Call You, Timmy. How? I can hear the silence!!!!!!!!!
I had the opportunity to stand around a table and watch him do this one live. He was hired in ‘93 by one of the smaller software companies to work their COMDEX booth in Las Vegas. I doubt even a dozen people could have fit around that small booth to watch his act, but Malone is a close-up magician, and that company wasn’t going to draw large crowds, no matter what. Anyway, he would do a 15 minute act twice each hour, always including a couple of his signature illusions. Always including Sam the Bellhop. I managed to get back to see him perform four times that day. Even knowing how to do some of the individual techniques, I’m still baffled and amazed.

Excellent trick……:-)
that card trick was so cool i was amazed
Good act! Especially how he tells the story and uses his character in it.
absolutly good performance,and a real Magicien
best i have seen yet
Easy slight of hand trick which also uses four members of the audience who have already been told the trick. Try this at home and you will amaze yourself at how stupid you are if you thought this guy was good.
Great story and audience participation. I’ve done this trick for nearly 30 years but my version is about a poker game & the players. It’s pretty simple to do. It’s interesting to see everyone guess at what they think is going on. The audience members have nothing to do with it.
that guy looks like a perv
I enjoyed the trick. very entertaining.
Thank you
I enjoyed the trick. very entertaining.

Great trick, his work is very impressive. Google Bill Malone!

I thought it was a great trick. He told a story, the cards went along with the story and it amazed people. That was the intention of the trick. So people, STOP saying bullcrap remarks about the man and his trick!
Great Entertainer!!! Had the audience eating out of his hand!!
I know nothing about card tricks, but am amazed how he can tell the story and make the cards do what HE wants them to do….even after audience members cut the deck and so on. He entertained me!!
I do a few card tricks myself, but this one is simply amazing. and to use every card in the deck and have not one left over just blew me away.

Tom, and Thurston, You don’t know what you are talking about. I am a Magician, and know how Sam The Bellhop is done. The audience has nothing to do with it, and anyone who says it is easy to perform, obviously doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Bill Malone does about the best version I’ve seen so far.
Great trick, but the guy is so cheesy–total lounge lizard.

Do ya THINK?
All illusions and slight of hand?
Thanks for the tip, Einstein.
Sheesh…
Go here and see how it’s done. All tricks REVEALED by looking them up

I really liked it.Very enjoyable to see something humorous, when all you see and read is so MISERABLE right now.
No matter how the trick is done, this is great entertainment! Bill is very good and slick! The talent is in the ruse, not in the stacking the cards! I would love to see him in person!
Very Cool and very entertaining!
Loved it!
the deck is sat up in that order to go with the story, and all the “shuffles” are not shuffles at all, it is good slight of had and good cuts, after he lets the audience cut it he always cuts it again him self staring at the deck to look for the key card to set him up for the next card for the story, very well put together trick but magic is slight of hand
This is the kind of miracle that Jesus used to do.
Bill rocks !! He’s a wonderful entertainer and the audience just loves him !! Can’t say enough.

I seen this befor, but he did it wonderfully!
that was the coolest trick ever!
Does anybody know how to spell
sleight of hand anymore? What the hell
is slight of hand.
That was a great card trick! How does he remember it all, I can’t ever remember short jokes!
Very cool! He’s a humorous guy! Slight of hand means they can sneak things/tricks past you and you don’t notice. Even if you stare at his hands. Slight is so fast and so precisely controlled, it takes alot of practice to fool people up close.
This is absolutly incredible!!!!!

Hear, hear, Marvin! There is no such thing as “slight of hand” unless you’re describing someone who has thin hands [like a "slight build"]. The proper term is SLEIGHT OF HAND. And yes, that is what this kind of magic is, whether simple to figure out or not.
I once knew/worked with Col
Carl Pike, who could and did do this trick. Never play cards with a person like this\!!
Extremely entertaining — and so very
professionally done. Seen many a card
trick in my 80 years, but this is most
certainly, one of the very best. Thanks
for sharing.
Har, har!!!I got the biggest kick reading all the responses,,,thanks #92 for the answer to the trick, thanks to #85 for the call-out for the spelling dilemma and also to #90 for the spelling lesson!!

The guy named Sam did a fantastic hands on performance, that’s why he got a 4 Star rating, because he’s a professional and does a great job.
Do you want to be my partner in the group for playing poker ?? Good tricks.
So for people who say that the audience is “in on it” and that it’s “slight of hand,” SO WHAT? Are you implying that there are “real” “magic” tricks out there??? Maybe you’re a moron for believing in “magic.” I, for one, take entertainment at face value, and this trick was extremely entertaining!
That was not only entertaining, but very humorous, too. Yes, I believe in magic, it’s made for the young at heart.

I was shown a variation of this trick in Australia in 1992, the story involved ‘Fred and the 789 club’. I was amazed to see such a perfect card trick. After showing my own favorite trick to the magician, we exchanged ‘tricks’,I was shown exactly how to do it and use the trick myself, alas my card control needs some work. as with all tricks, its easy when you know how.
cool very well done
cool very good

Brilliant - what an amazing feat of memory and sleight of hand. It doesn’t matter HOW he does, he does it! And entertaining at the same time - what a legend!!
I don’t care what Brian says, I think the trick was tremendous. Hats off to the magician….
Absolutely brilliant! Who cares how it is done, who is invloved. It is a trick you knuckle heads! And he did it with absolute precision and it could not have been done any better. Amazing trick. Well Done!!
this trick is the granddaddy of ‘em all. my eyes popped out of my head in such astonishment when he revealed the straight flush. incredible trick, but question: was it something he made up on his own or did he steal it from someone else who actually pioneered the trick? in my opinion, he was trying to show off in such a slick way that he won’t get off the hook so easy. as long as that happens, I WILL SURELY SUE HIS ASS.

Good trick…..but shitty comments. Most of you appear to be dumb ass’s!
A superior interpretation of a classic.
Who cares if it’s a trick? It’s the enjoymnet factor that counts, and Molone is among the best
