The following shots are authentic.
People filmed are not stooges or actors. Some people connect the playing cards
with a game. Others connect them
with magic tricks or with gambling… I’ve always been passionate
about the cards and I challenged myself
to make people believe something I want them
to believe… So they’ll be willing to bet
their own money on! “Janja, when I give you this card
what value do you believe it is?” “It’s the QUEEN OF CLUBS.” “Correct! Are you 100% sure?
Would you bet 100 EUR on it?” “If you win, you get 200 EUR.
Would you bet?” -“Yes!” -“So you’re a gambler!
Let’s have a look!” “You’re correct! And here I have
a QUEEN OF HEARTS!” “Let’s turn them both around.” “Now I give you my QUEEN
and you give me yours.” “So if I ask you:
Which QUEEN is in your hand?” -“QUEEN OF HEARTS!” -“I give you your QUEEN back.
Which QUEEN is which?” -“This is the QUEEN OF HEARTS and
this is the QUEEN OF CLUBS!” -“Of, course, and would you bet 100 EUR
on each of them?” – “Yes.” -“Ok, look. I’m not going even
to touch them!” “Did you feel anything?”
-“No!” “Look at the upper card!” “What about the second card?”
– “But…. HOW?” “You are truly a magician!” -“For this? Yes, I would bet!”
-“100 EUR?” -“I would bet more!” -“Can you turn them around?” -“You gave me two ACES!
How is this possible?” OK, so far I’m successful with the people
who don’t know about these techniques… What about somebody
who is a specialist? I went to a prestigeous CASINO, where
I got a chance to play this game with a proffessional croupier. I admit I was not sure
if I can succeed! Could I succeed to play for high stakes
and win a LOT of money??? “You have shuffled the deck, right?”
-“Yes, the cards are shuffled and checked!” “So I give you the QUEEN of HEARTS…
What card I just gave you?” -“The QUEEN of HEARTS!” -“Would you bet 20.000 EUR on it?
If you win you get 40.000 EUR!” -“Absolutely!” “So you ARE a gambling person!”
– “A little bit, I guess.” “Please check! You just won 40.000 EUR!
-“That’s perfect!” -“Now I give you the QUEEN of CLUBS
and I take your QUEEN of HEARTS!” “I ask you one more time:
which QUEEN is in your hands?” -“The QUEEN of CLUBS!” -“And I have the QUEEN OF HEARTS?”
-“Correct!” “Would you put ALL IN?”
-“Sure.” Look closely: the croupier has
just bet 100.000 EUR! -“This is the QUEEN of CLUBS and
this is the QUEEN of HEARTS!” -“Can you turn them around?”
-“Oooops!” Can I take something back?” -“What about the second card?” -“Well…that’s interesting!?”
-“We can check the deck for the QUEENS!” -“Next time I would take you with me
to the poker tournament!” “This is very interesting!
I think our guests wouldn’t like it!” -“Would I be banned from the Casino?
-“Most probably yes!” -“So I don’t have a chance…?
-“Definately not!” -“Do you tell anybody about your techniques?”
-“Sure not!” -“Dude, that’s amazing! Respect!”
-“Thank you! Just a friendly advice…:” “Don’t gamble on the streets,
you will loose everything!”
WTF =O
