I think the shufflers on stage did know a little too well what to do.

Can't be certain, but what I will say is - you know what the final configuration needs to be before Mel B starts directing them, and you know where they are standing at the beginning. The variable factor is how they walk around in between their initial positions and before getting into a straight line. Focusing on that you may get a sense of what is going on. The question that remains then is how this is achieved...

Nice ,a lttle drawn out for me and why did he have to keep interfuring with the judge placing the card's on the table,he even got a little peeved with it.

Just goes to prove how powerful OOTW is, even in a basic version such as this.
Good to see a magician do so well on this show. It is the perfect TV showcase for magicians. |

Really goes to prove how powerful OOTW is for a lay audience.
Good to see a magician do so well on this show. It is the perfect TV showcase for magicians. I just wish they would stay away from mentalism effects. |

The human cards ended up in 2 rows on each side. However Franco never instructed Mel B to split them that way. But the participants somehow seemed to know where to go.

She controlled the sides (which side) but did not control front or back did she?

I think he probably just forgot, in the moment, to give the instruction for the next people chosen to go to the front. It was unfortunate as it has led to lots of youtube theories that the people on stage simply arranged themselves into red and black.

Well, he did have to do 2 performances on that show, and each was probably put together very hastily out of necessity with very little rehearsal.
Add all that on top of extreme nerves and it is certainly understandable that he could forget an instruction like that. Plus other factors such as dealing with celebrities, etc. make it easy to leave something out. Frankly, I felt that the performances in that episode were Mat's weakest of all. I was honestly surprised that his sleights and loads used in the cups and balls routine weren't more deceptive but at least his take on the rub a dub dub story saved the day for him on that one. The OOTW just seemed very confusing. I had trouble following what the effect was and I even knew what to expect. But it had to be so rushed that he didn't really have time to sell it properly. |

Why did it have to be rushed?

You can see in the video, if Mel sent them to the right they went to the top row and if sent to the left they went to the bottom row. When Mat switched colors, the people switched which row they went to. Unless a lay person knew how OOTW is done, they would not have seen this. |
