The four cards he's using are the two of hearts, the ten of spades, the king of diamonds, and the king of clubs.
At the end of the movie he probably puts down the two of hearts and ten of spades first, then the two kings. At least, that's what I think.

Yeah, it's just sleight of hand. I used to be able to this years ago (although the version I knew was a lot simpler, mainly just being the first part. Less to keep track of)

- At 1:03 the stack goes like this: 10, king of clubs, 2, king of diamonds (from top to bottom) - First he takes the two bottom cards and passes it off as one, showing the bottom card. - The new order is 2, king of diamonds, 10, king of clubs - He puts the 2 on the table - The new order is king of diamonds, 10, king of clubs - He takes the bottom two again, showing the bottom card. - The new order is 10, king of clubs, king of diamonds - He puts the 10 on the table - Shows the two last cards which are of course the same two kings

Looks like he's using a techinique called 'the glide'; it's a pretty standard card trick manouver :3 I'm also tempted to think he might also be using 'short cards' but the video wasn't playing properly for me so it's hard to tell ^^;

double lifts are also fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
one of the easiest ways to manipulate 'where' a card is via flippling multiple cars at one time so that you can sohw any car 'on top'.
forinstance: 2 is the 3rd card down. triple lift (showing the 2 to be "on top") ditch top card double lift (shwing the 2 "on top") ditch top card show top card
lol triple lift? Double you can get away with but I usually find trying to do 3 is a bit obvious, if not for the thickness then the fact it's lots harder (for me anyways) to nip in under a 3rd card compared to just a second :o
Then again, I think my grandad used to show me a trick using a triple lift so I guess I just need to practice that more :p

I have seen tricks that use tripple lifts.
I havn't practiced in a long time so all of my card skills are now relegated to being able to to a bridge shuffle midair <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Triple lift is possible, but can be a bit of a pain to pull off given the length of your fingernails. I can't do it myself... I much prefer controlling the shuffle to place the card where I want it. The advantage being that you can have your audience lift it, no-tricks style. The down side, to pull off the unicard deck, you need to work with a Svengali deck. Which leaves evidence. :b Any kind of rigged prop does.. well, unless you have big enough hands to switch it before inspection.
you can usually get away with letting people inspect a short-card deck before the trick... they don't understand how it works so they won't know what to look for, plus most people handle cards in similar ways so you just need to make sure you hand them the right way up so it's normal when or more importantly, IF they flick through them. Done it plenty of times :3
I usually let my friends play with the couple of magic tools I have but usually palm an important piece before handing it over... they never notice and I usually get a giggle out of watching them being puzzled as to why it won't work for them XD
I love misdirection and sleight of hand; two best things you'll ever learn from just about any kind of magic.

You can see his left index finger doing all the work....not that you need to slow it down to tell though.
