Blind card mechanic fools Penn & Teller

yellowcsays...

I'm guessing the cards have a tell etched in to the sides, he does a subtle thumb riffle at about 4:47 while distracting everyone. The idea that the cards are well and truly shuffled drops everyones guard for that 5seconds after.

The "playing seconds" I'm sure is a large role in the final bit as well and at normal speed with his technique, it really is impossible to notice.

I did notice in his last riffle shuffle and cut, he kept the cards in the same order, didn't pull the top half off the bottom, but pulled both halves just shuffled apart.
