ok, look at seconds 55~63, where he shows u all 4 are 10 of spades. There, he actually just takes a card from the top each time, while repeatedly showing you the bottom one, creating the illusion that he is actually showing you different cards.

I dunno how he does the rest, but i suspect that he may have foldable cards, or something else to that effect.

hmm, and notice that the four kings do not have all four suits, but are only diamond and clubs. Why? I have no clue.

Well. Clearly he is holding at least 6 different cards, not four. Those kings are actually useful in tracking the illusion. I played it back at half speed, and realized that he was doing some interesting things to give the illusion that the card was sliding off the top or bottom, but I still can't pinpoint it so I can do it myself.

perhaps playing it backwards slowly might force our minds to not assume things that we might have missed.

nevermind, you're right, its only 4 cards, not 6. The kings are duplicated.

playing it slower, i see now that it's just a long combination of very smooth moves. Just a lot of practice with a lot of skill.
