I've been a member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood for around a quarter of a century, which means I've seen a lot of great magicians. One of the best — and that isn't just my opinion, it's everyone's in the world of magic — is Whit Haydn. He's an amazing manipulator of cards and a historian of cheats and swindles. (He's also a fine teacher. I took a class from him once at the Castle and learned to do a couple of his tricks about one ten-thousandth as well as he does them…which is still not too terrible.) Anyway, in our clip today, you'll see Whit performing a trick called "The Ambitious Card." A number of magicians do their versions of this feat but no one does it better.
