This is a Tabled Bridge Riffle Shuffle with a fancy bridge/cascade ending to square up the deck. It’s a super elegant shuffing method with a visually interesting ending, and it does a great job of actually mixing the cards.

Description
This video covers an amazing visual color change technique that can be done with just one hand. It’s called the Filppant move by Looy Simonoff. In principle, the move is extremely simple; but when done with the right timing and the right cover it looks like pure magic.

This move is credited to Looy Simonoff. I got the idea of adding a snapping cover motion from Greg Wilson.

Description
The aces magically vanish one at a time, and then reappear moments later next to the leader ace (the ace of spades). This is a classic plot in magic and so many different magicians have worked on it throughout the years. Even David Copperfield performed a version of this on national television; and for a very good reason.
Difficulty
Intermediate.

This is a very old effect in magic and so many different magicians have worked on it throughout the years. I’m not really sure who to credit as the original source.
