Ben Earl Fool Us

This will just be a short post and is just me rambling. I recently watched Ben Earl's trick on Fool Us again, on youtube. And fuck me the comments pissed me off. Accusations of false shuffles. For a start there was an independent magician backstage who knew all the methods. Therefore if it was a false shuffle do you think he might not have fucking said something about it? Secondly, fucking watch it. It's not a false shuffle. The cards are mixed and he isn't retaining the order. And to say that he used a false shuffle to retain the deck is a bit vague and a shit way of trying to explain it.

Then there is this amazing comment "He never shuffles them when he's going one handed just splits the deck, puts one half on the other half and then back. That's a false shuffle." 


That would be a cut not a shuffle for a start and they never accused him of using a false cut. Of course any magician with half a brain could see he used false cuts in the second half but the first part fooled the shit out of them.


Basically he won't have gotten through if he used a false shuffle, so youtube "magicians"  please shut the fuck up because you don't know what you are talking about.
