    4:15 so I haven't downloaded or bought the trick but I think I k ow how it's done. So I've been doing magic seriously for about 3 years now (I'm 14yrs old) and I have ADHD and slight autism. Most people think of it as some type of disability but having both of those things changes how your brain works. It can sometimes make me hyperfocus and can make me think of things in a different way. I feel like having this "disability" more helps me and helps start up a new way of thinking. The only reason I'm really saying this is one because as Chris Ramsey said, he thinks in a while different way. The other reason is to encourage people that have "problems" like me to not be upset that you have this but to use it and show people how it's better than most people think. I know this is a bit random but I hope this helps someone and keeps them going through these hard and rough times in the world right now.

      My nephew has autism (he's non verbal) and most my family has ADHD. It is in no way a "disability." I also think a little differently than most. It's an advantage in certain areas. Where you may struggle in certain areas in life you will also excell in others. I'm glad to hear you're using it to your advantage. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
      Always remember some of the smartest and creative people in the world have autism. Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick, Rodney Mullen, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Henry Cavendish, even Michaelangelo are just some of the countless autistic people to grace our world.

That is one thing but then just now I go to hit the thumbs up button and I see 75 people hit the thumbs down button and it blows my mind as much as Calen's tricks. I know it's all just a part of being successful on CZcams but I hope it does not get you down like ie does me and I know you are working extra hard this year to turn that around. I know you will prosper a lot in your new space with your new ideas for content. I have been a fan for a long time now. Can't wait to see what you have in store. Much love from the US!

      It could all just be an act to sell some form of entertainment or the reason he acts so monotone like David Blaine is because the amount of Xanax he takes , exceeds normal doses. Just so he doesn't freak out over the truth of our reality. Just look up the film "they live", which the lead actor died a few months after he stated on twitter that the film is a "documentary ". That is only one of the many coincidences you can speculate on.
      These non-human entites pick on us because they see us as non-sentient , similar to west world androids. Their anger towards God is so extreme, that they go to great lengths to torment our existence, as a means to satisfy their own frustrations with God. Even though these entities know we are much more capable than we ourselves realize. It's just like a magician setting the illusion that we cannot understand the trick, that we are powerless , when in fact, we are powerful. It's all just about understanding the trick.
      These malevolent forces torment us to feel in control, all because God is more powerful than them. A pity that their existence is consumed by hatred for conciousness.

      And some can only be done with editing software, the melting card one for example, the deck had all the middles cut out with one full card on top and then the middles were replaced by using a second shot of a regular deck.
      Same thing with the warped card, he was holding the boxy card the whole time and edited in a regular looking card/touched up the edges to remove the modified card, there's some weird movements with the card too, he lets go with both hands and the card appears to spin around, actually now that I wrote it out he absolutely just had the modded card behind the normal one and just let go of the normal one when he spun them around. Probably still needed to edit out the normal card though

Maybe a pulley system like the raven or gecko, or maybe something as simple as a tenkai/gamblers palm or even lapping. But as for the flap, I notice its completely closed at the beginning and slightly opened after the vanish of the sticker.

    He's amazingly good but I also see that as a magician he's been alot more impressive for you. His magic obviously takes some magical understanding to truly see what makes h so special. He does it so well and so smoothly that as a layman it's hard to really pull apart what makes h stand apart from other magicians.
    Oh and sorry but I've always hated that David Blain doped up but not slow talking thing that some magicians seem to have taken on.

    He's approaching magic from the standpoint almost of a student of neuroscience. He's taking really impressive advantage of the human brain's propensity for making assumptions about the things it observes or senses. You don't have conscious control over what unconscious assumptions your brain and mind will make. You can even be fully aware that your brain is about to make an assumption, like right before you look at an optical illusion you can prepare yourself the effect, and your brain will still make those assumptions and leaps and you'll still experience the outcome in the exact same way. Our brains are WAY more fallible than we're comfortable admitting.
    Your brain filters everything you sense, especially with your eyes. It adds things, it subtracts other things, and a huge percentage of your overall concept of reality itself is based on things that never happened, information that never actually existed, and it's so convincing that there's no true way for you to know for sure what's real and what's been created by your own brain.
    It's a neurological betrayal of the highest order, by your own brain,
    And it's fantastic.

      You can clearly see another layer over the flap of the box. nothing to do with inside the box. I'm guessing the box case has some sort of slinky/3D paper art/origami/thingamajig that he can make collapse with the slight same time the lighter gets turned around.

I've played around, attempting this exact trick before this video and my only conclusion was I needed magnets in the card, which they do make small enough magnets you could get them inside of a card, especially when you have this guys resources. The weight of the deck is enough to hold behind the smaller pieces of the card while the magnets detach. It's cut twice with two sets of magnets, so he can do the corner first, then the larger top portion.

    Opening effect you can really only do with bic. There are many like this including burnt stickers, adding a sticker removing a sticker ; because bic lighters are essentially the same on both sides and if you use a “paddle” move you can do some awesome effects like this one. I’ve never seen this one done before (gain similar) and I really really like it! Especially with the card box! If I MAY make one suggestion as a tip for your audience (viewers)?
    Tip: keep the bic lighter and box relativity close but either
    1. Remember ; Dai Vernon said “a large action covers a small action”
    For me that “paddle” turnover was very viable and most of my focus was on the Bic, so much so that I initially missed the transport from box (vanish) to Bic (appearance) but I didn’t miss the move that revealed the transport. Maybe wave the hands a bit to cover the rotation.
    2. Try to bring more attention to the box (gimmicked, assume haven’t watched the whole video yet, I’m 20 seconds in 😂) the move is so much more subtle but just as visual! If not more visual. This way it vanishes then they look up and see it on the lighter. This gives you a bit more cover and very intentional misdirection. Don’t say “look at the sticker” maybe say “want to see something cool with a card box?” This way they focus more on the box as a whole whole the lighter is just off a bit and more in peripheral or slightly blurred from being out of focus.
    Just my two cents! And what I noticed right off the bat! I apologize!
