"You have blown my mind!" Northampton magician wows professional poker players with another card trick

Fresh from wowing the nation on Britain's Got Talent, Northampton magician Sean Heydon is back at it - even during the coronavirus crisis.

His latest trick involved three professional poker players, their own decks of cards and a video conference call.

Joe Beevers, Jeff Kimber and Jesse May were amazed when they all picked out the cards they were thinking of after shuffling the deck and cutting it into three.

Sean told the Chronicle & Echo: "After my appearance on BGT I received international press, loads of it!

"From OK magazine to evening the Evening Standard calling me Britain’s 'most jaw-dropping magician'.

"Because of all of this press I was contacted by some of the world's top poker players, challenging me to trick them and this video is the result."

Last month, Sean's time-travelling card trick on Britain's Got Talent: Unseen on the ITV Hub stunned the judges and the audience, with Simon Cowell proclaiming: "Magic is real."

The stunt with the poker stars, held on a conference call from their individual homes and set up by The Metro, started with the pros shuffling their own decks.

They then split the decks in three piles and got rid of two of them before shuffling the remaining pile of cards - "to make it even more random," Sean said in the video.

"The bottom card to my packet is the 10 of clubs, what we are going to do next is that we are going to do a little ritual," he explained.

"I am going to spell out the 10 of clubs, I am going to do it first and then you guys copy in a minute."

The poker professionals copied and were stunned as they said what card they were picturing before it came out of the bottom of each deck.

Jesse said: "You have blown my mind! I have no idea how that worked!"
