The Binary Routine (a tribute to Arthur C. Clarke)
Uploaded by: Mathematician2
Video Description:
"There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't..."
If you don't understand this quote, then here's a quick review on binary:
In the regularly used decimal system, each digit represents a multiple of a power of ten. (For example: 900=9*10 to the 2nd) In binary, each digit either represents a plus value of a power of 2 or zero.
(Binary=Decimal notation=powers of 2)
1 = 1 = 2 to the 0
10 = 2 = 2 to the 1st
100 = 4 = 2 to the 2nd
1000 = 8 = 2 to the 3rd
10000 = 16 =2 to the 4th
And when you have more than one 1 in a number, add up the powers of two
10101 = 21 = 16+0+4+0+1
Google "binary" for a more thorough description.
In this routine, a face-down packet is a 0, a face-up packet is a 1, the top packet is the first digit, and the bottom packet is the last digit. Simple as that.
Sir Arthur C. Clarke (1917-March 2008) is one of the most famous science fiction authors of all time and he is mostly known as the author of "2001: A Space Odyssey" a story that was also made into an equally confusing, yet epically awesome movie. His recent death was very disappointing to me and he will be missed and remembered in the years to come.
Now, for the actual routine itself, it is entirely false, except for the final phase with the card change and it is extremely simple. This is an original routine of mine, and it mainly contains some sybil, charlier, swivel cut, and molecule elements in it (heh, "molecule elements"). I can do this faster, but I slowed down my movements so that the binary numbers wouldn't mix up so quickly. Now for the XCM artists out there, yes, I'm sure there will be plenty of criticism about me being too slow, the routine too easy, or the binary too distracting; but I will accept all constructive criticism as long as it is, in fact, constructive and not just some stupid, spiteful comment from a random jerk. To me this video is just as much about binary and Clarke and his writings as it is about card manipulation.

| I might make a tutorial eventually, but you'll have to know how to do the charlier cut, a basic 3-packet sybil, and the swivel cut. All easy moves. You can probably watch this video enough times to figure out exactly what I'm doing. |

| Nice job. It looked like many of those were false cuts, but not all. Am I wrong in thinking that some of those were false and others real, or did I miss it? I'd love to see your top speed added to the end of the video. |
