Registrace 28. 08. 2006
According to post-modern magic stars Penn and Teller, "Jamy Ian Swiss is James Bond with a deck of cards as a pistol!" Swiss has performed internationally for presenters ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the Smithsonian Institution. His television appearances include 48 Hours on CBS, the PBS documentary The Art of Magic, PBS Nova, Comedy Central, and repeat appearances on The Today Show on NBC as well as on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He is the author of two collections of essays, Shattering Illusions and Devious Standards, and of The Art of Magic, the companion book to the PBS documentary. In a profile in The New Yorker, Adam Gopnik writes, Swiss is thought to have one of the most masterly sleight-of-hand techniques in the world today... like seeing Yo-Yo Ma."

He does that very well! Always loved the way he did the pass!
So happy I discovered this. - Biz
He looked at the card quickly at 5:10 !!!
Craig: “I love this stuff.” Narrator: “He doesn’t. He even went so far as to make a point of it on a live Netflix special.” (Show cover of a DVD) (Cut to Craig performing, audio in background) Craig: “….No, I don’t. I hate magic!” Narrator: Which is why he was precisely the man Gob wanted to impress.” Gob: I’ve got this in the bag, Michael. This Craig Ferguson, he loves magic! That’s all they ever do over in Australia! You’ve seen Lord of the Rings.
Yeah that’s why he cut the comic to extend my spot the first time, then booked me back a few months later, and spent the closing segment talking about my performance. You can tell he hated both appearances. 😂😂😂
This was utterly fantastic. Bravo.
I am a club level tennis player who practices regularly. When I watch Rodger Federer hit a tennis ball and know that I will never achieve that level of mastery. I am also an amateur magician. That means I know enough about magic to realize how masterful Mr. Swiss is in this short video. Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.
This was the documentary that got into my magic journey, trying to replicate what Jamy did with this one coin routine and some other card effects he presented as well. Thanks Jamy, because you literally changed my life.
calssic!
This guy has a MAGA face. They say he use to hang around Tannen's and smelled like he dropped a load in his pants.
I remember this segment as a teen - Pure astonishment. I am glad I found you channel
This showed up for my as recommended - I do understand why: flawless, very nice routine, awesome! pity that documentary used apparently a potato to record it. Would love to see that one in HD - even though it has some nice touch having that 90s flair with the VHS flicker. :D
When he said 9D, I had a feeling I knew what would happen next. That was great! (and then he follows it up with the 4C!)
Not only did he name Juan,, but he named two perfect selections. Lucky moment! Lmao.
@@reedoburrito7456 exactly!
@@reedoburrito7456 it would have been two perfect in Juan's but he prefers to play with Simon. 😉
Yeah that's unreal
Amazing! Looks great 😊
I’m excited to see this movie. How cool 😎.
Well done! Looks great!
That was beautifully performed
this is the first time I've ever even heard of this guy. Right off the bat I instantly love him. I'm an instant fan and I will sub right away.
That double lift at 0:39 was amazing. I’ve only ever read about it (In Buckley’s Card Control) but never have I seen it done.
OR CAN U HELP ME MAKE ONE FOR YOUR PAGE ?
CAN I USE SOME OF YOUR FOOTAGE FOR A VIDEO ?
Great trick. I love all the people breaking their arms patting themselves on the back for seeing it...on camera...with only the two men and glass in frame...knowing the NAME of the trick in advance, and even THEN probably rewinding before making themselves feel astute in the comments.
Shows that it’s not a good trick to put on TV though.
Credits: It's really just a combination of two effects viz. Paul Harris' Wack your Pack routined with Doc Eason's card under glass..
I have seen you Japanese Tv 20years ago!
The audience aren't supposed to see sleight of hand. Every move here is clearly visible. It's like you are showboating your technique at the expense of any magical effect. I really don't like this.
Amazing!!!! Flawless routine!
I disagree. At 0:53 his hand dives beneath the table to get a jumbo coin while the camera crudely zooms in on his other hand in an attempt to disguise it. Is this supposed to be "magic" . It was an amateur move.
@@PreservationEnthusiast Wrong dummy, that is done because of the cameras as the camera does not blink, and misdirection is not as easy on a video and to protect against repeat views from idiots like you who watch magic videos 100 times until you can figure them out, and then post how smart you are because you saw what happened after pausing and rewinding after getting fried so many times.
@@sirbrad4 No, I usually pick it first time. That's because I have more experience and knowledge than you, so I know what to watch for.
@@PreservationEnthusiast Oh really? Who originated this coin routine then? I will wait while you scramble to look it up. I highly doubt it as your post proves otherwise. I have been doing magic now for 40 years, 33 years professionally, and I am pretty sure Jamy and I have forgotten more about magic than you have ever learned. Your post only further proves that you are a moron who knows nothing about magic, or why TV magic is done differently on TV to protect the angles and lack of in person misdirection. To say that Jamy, who is one of the best close-up magicians, card conjurer, magic historian, essay writers, and sleight of hand artists in the world among many other titles "amateur" only shows what a complete and uneducated idiot that you are. Also what kind of loser spends all of his time on CZcams busting magic tricks? A loser indeed. Go back to school dummy.
@@sirbrad4 There's a lot of Ian in that routine with some work by Geoff Latta. If you think it's anything different, I suggest you chat to Ian about his ethics and credits. I've been exposing and tutorialling magic on You Tube for more than 10 years. I've got mentioned many times on the Magic Cafe for my efforts and received 1000's of thanks from magic students for my work. I've been performing longer than you, also. I am the future of transferring magical knowledge. You Sir, are simply a dinosaur.
2 constructive criticisms: 1) Although not as much as many other magicians, you show symptoms of something i have noticed with other magicians on talk show: The irritation when a host spontanously breaks your rehearsed patter and the inability to pick up what the host said and lossen up your patter. It seemed everytime Craig interrupted you, you were just politely either waiting until you could carry on or just smiled. Why not prepare in such a way you can skip a trick when needed but instead be able to last another trick longer than planned in case the situation calls for situation comedy / banter ? Also, magicians should be *aware* of what kind of show it is they're going to appear at. Craig's show had a very loose, anarchic feeling about it so not the best place to talk kinda serious about "magic moments" - because it leaves the feeling a magician unable to adjust to the style of the show but just pulling his magicians thing through. 2) To follow a card to box trick with another card to box trick is a bit confusing / too similar for a lay audience in my view. Just my 2 cents, don't get me wrong, i know you're a great and famous magician, but those wre my subjective observations anyway.
That's a hot one.
3 OF THE PEOPLE COMMENTING BELOW ARE MORONS. Saying you saw how he did it, NO SHIT THAT WAS THE POINT. The point is the black guy didn't see him do any moves & in person you wouldn't have seen any of the moves either. You guys below must be under the age of 18 lordy mercy hahahaha!
Great thinking by clearly a very good magi, I loved it and will be inheriting some of that!
This guy is amazing. I dunno what a pass is, but whatever it is he obviously does it really well. Wish the vid quality was better.
Awesome routine
The idea of that routine was great. Jamy always delivers.
The pass was amazing along with the d'amico double!
ice! fantastic Malini twist! loved it
Great to have you posting videos again Mr.Swiss! Absolutely loved the performance! The magic was flawless and your comebacks clever! Loved it!
Every time I think I've advanced in the craft there's Jamy Ian Freaking Swiss to remind me just how much I suck.
Or reminds you of how much better you could maybe get.... Depends on how you see it 😉
Freaking great classic pass
Thats pure EXCELLENCE
THAT. PASS.
진짜 잘하신다ㄷㄷ
At 0:53 his right hand zips down behind the table to steal the jumbo coin. At the same time, the camera crudely zooms in to attempt to take it out of shot. He just exposed the mechanics of stealing the big coin. This doesn't even work for the cameras, let alone a live spectator. Surely these amateurs should be prevented from exposing stuff on You Tube?
+heelfan1234 I honestly didn't notice til you pointed it out. So who's really the amateur exposing stuff?
Coin Magic Underground If you like the move, then use it in your next effect or coin flurry. Take every opportunity to learn ideas that you think will suit your performance conditions :)
heelfan1234 I have no problem with telling a Magician that I don't like his style or performance. I have no problem telling him why. But what I don't do is expose the work of others. C.M.U. earned the respect of the Magic community. You have not.
+MI Jamy Ian Swiss exposed his own work here with an obvious steal and a very clumsy camera zoom attempting to hide it. Respect or otherwise is irrelevant. If I see some crap I'm going to call it.
+heelfan1234 no you
Wow, very smooth awesomely done Jamie
I love basically what hes trying to say is dont play poker with him youll lose everyth8ng very simple ..
Wooow
u are really an expert of a coin...that's my dream..:( ]
awesome...:) i saw the moves..:)
smooth
The art of palming and misdirection.
Early part of the routine was mainly false transfers and classic palm in his right hand. Then he obviously steals the jumbo coin at 0:53 as his hand dives below the table. Quite amateurish I thought.
I really enjoyed this clip Brother Swiss! My only regret is that wasn't shot in HD, but it was the times, I know. We as magicians complain about everything so I've got that going for me..lol. Great job guy!
vernonclassic Can you explain how this isn't good enough for spectators? David Roth's flurry is still perfectly suited and will forever be, so what makes this different?
vernonclassic For once you are right.This was totally lame. At 0:53 his right hand zips down behind the table to steal the jumbo coin. At the same time, the camera crudely zooms in to attempt to take it out of shot. He just exposed the mechanics of stealing the big coin. This doesn't even work for the cameras, let alone a live spectator. Surely these amateurs should be prevented from exposing stuff on You Tube?
@@PreservationEnthusiast oh shut up moron. A live situation presents much more opportunity for misdirection than a camera. You know nothing except how to open your big foul mouth.
@@jangray395 Why did his hand zip down below the table at 0:53 ? Some people call it magic, other people call it strange. I call it fiddling below the table palming a jumbo coin while the camera zooms in on the other hand. Come on! This is just lame amateur stuff!
@@PreservationEnthusiast I absolutely agree. In many of Jamy's magic on TV you will catch him fumbling, missing a beat, changing tempo. His performances always comes across as arrogant, egotistical, and amateurish. Either that's his personality trait or his ego has overtaken his performance style.
