I’m starting to wonder if something unusual is affecting my career

Title: I’m starting to wonder if something unusual is affecting my career

I started my career in 2021. Since then, whenever I get a job, I seem to face some kind of problem after around 6 months, and eventually I lose the job or have to leave it. This has happened repeatedly over the past few years.

Because this pattern keeps repeating, I’ve started wondering whether it could be black magic or something similar. I know there may be practical reasons behind these problems, but the repeated pattern is making me worried and confused.

Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you deal with it and figure out what was actually causing the repeated job problems?

I’m looking for genuine advice and experiences, not judgment.

Which false shuffle is Harrison Kramer doing?

In this Short you can see him doing the shuffle pretty clearly, but it has to be a false riffle shuffle for this trick, right? Does this specific false riffle shuffle have a name or something, because I really can't spot how he did it.

Shared celebrity birthday trick

This may be a long shot, because I can’t even remember exactly how this trick goes. I’m just hoping someone out there knows what I’m talking about.

I saw it performed by a contestant on the game show People Puzzler, hosted by Leah Remini. A contestant boasted that they could perform a cool party trick. She asked Leah what celebrity she shared a birthday with and (this is where it got strange, because Leah didn’t even have to think about it), when she named a celebrity, the contestant said, “Oh, so your birthday is on [some date],” and Leah was shocked as if she had guessed her birthday correctly. She then performed the trick with another contestant and guessed his birthday correctly. Again, the contestant just happened to know which celebrity he shared a birthday with, which was strange. So, were the participants just throwing out any random celebrity name? That would make the trick even more strange, though.

So I guess the trick was supposed be that the performer had memorized every celebrity birthday, which of course is highly unlikely. So what was going on and how was this trick done? I wasn’t able to find anything on Google.

Question about the Ben Blau "Unfazed" card trick

I've been watching this and practicing it with numbered playing cards to try and figure out how it works out. I've been using 2-6 in black and 2-6 in red instead of symbols. I get everything so far except the final decision point with the two stacks of two cards. Following the routine along (I think) exactly, I keep getting screwed up at the end trying to mimic the last choice.

At 7:45, he makes a move with the cards in his hand but I can't quite understand what he's doing with it. It looks like he takes the top two and puts them below the bottom two but I can't quite make it out. However, I'm not sure that matters because in Eugene Burger's version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmsiaV1TeHE) he doesn't do that (4:15 mark).

I'm also trying to understand the configuration the cards are supposed to be in in the two pairs at the end. In both Blau and Burger's videos, the spectator swapped one side and then the top two cards are the match. So if the expected configuration of the piles is XY and YX, that makes sense.

I'm wondering if the choice the spectator makes drives how you pick up the last two cards. Assume XY YX are the two piles...if they swap one side you take the top card. If they pick top or bottom you end up with YY XX so you just take either side pile.

Guessing a written name

I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered multiple times, but from everything I've read I can't find an answer and it's driving me nuts.

Backstory: this happened to me at a friends birthday party. I watched him do the trick with a few others too. Everyone there I knew except the magician and his girlfriend. He was apparently on TV shows and actually a known magician.

The trick: he handed me his card and a sharpie, said to think of someone and write it on the card and fold it up and hold it in my hand. He never touched it after I wrote the name and folded it into my hand. I wrote it around the corner and 100% out of view of him or his girlfriend (or anyone else for that matter). There were no mirrors in the room.

Then he said it's a short name, 5 letters, it ends with a Y. It begins with R. Tell Randy I said hello.

How could he possibly have done that? Nobody at that party even knew who Randy is. Not a single soul. He lives 300 miles away. The only thing I could reasonably think of was the sharpie, because later on he did a trick I caught part of where the answer to the asked question was printed on the sharpie.

I watched him do the same trick to someone else and watched everything closely and he still got the name correct.

It's driving me nuts!

So yesterday I asked about Sam the bellhop, and got some great answers and places to start looking today I’m asking At the 2 minute mark, how does he flip the card up?

The camera angle is just wrong that I can’t see what his hands are doing, but I love that little flourish

Leroy and the 789 club

There is a trick where you take a king off the top of the deck, pull out a card and name that card Leroy, you then cut the deck move some cards (going a few blocks) and then pull out the 3 kings, the 789 followed by a 2 for Leroy tip. This then repeats with the queens, ect.
