I can walk you through cards A - 7 after that Sorry I'm not seeing it.
A-5 the cards always ended up back on the top of the deck while 6 & 7 were always on the bottom when he sets all 5 cards for the straight on the top of the deck and then slip them closed again notice the order he put them in so that when he gave his false shuffle they end up back on order while 6 & 7 trade to the bottom. When he pulls the 7 to the top the 6 stays on the bottom and he pulls what is called a Hanger. He pulls the top and Bottom card at the same time and shows the six which was on the bottom on top of the 7 which was on the top.
As for the remaining 8 - K I was so busy catching the first A-7 I am sure that I missed how he stacked those. As for making the remaining deck in perfect order. there are two options one is he is using a Svengali Deck (Not Likely) or two when he shuffles he is shuffeling card for card. A VERY difficlut trick in which when you shuffle only on card is released from each side as you shuffle and mathmatically when you shuffle enough times you bring the deck back to perfect order.
I have been doing Card Manipulation for just under 12 years. This guy is WAY better than me and WAY better than most of the table guys I know.
HOWEVER. Because it was filmed and Digitally at that, there is a possibility that everything you saw was an editing trick with VERY good equipment you will notice the darkness of the background ther whole time. But I would like ot believe this guy us just very good.

Also, I know that for two of the tricks he used a slide which is where he palms the cards and while pretending to cut the deck in half he replaces the top cards with what he wants them to be. However I must also admit that I did not actually CATCH him do it I just know that is how it was done. THIS GUY IS GOOD.
