After seeing an amazing CZcams video of a magic trick, Ellen invited illusionist Eric Ross to make his television debut. His tricks left Ellen speechless.
+Bobby Sherman I know a lot and I'm still amazed. I can even see some of the tricks, but I'm still amazed by the skillfulness. For example the rubber band trick is obvious, but it's executed so smooth that is still amazing.
Jakub Szymaniak You see when he is pulling the bands to show he can "shoot her in her eye" and that the bands doesn't go through each other - that's the moment he switches his fingers and the small band flips and find itself on the other side. But I still enjoy watching it. Great execution.
GOOD FUCKING GOD! Who cares HOW he did it? Do you HAVE to know and say "it's fake" when we already know it is? It is amazing and doesn't need to be explained, that's the charm. Let it be and don't try to ruin it just because you can't understand it!
I will never understand this mentality on the internet that you suddenly feel a higher sense of entitlement and doucheyness when it comes to figuring out magic tricks. Of course there is a method, why did you not think there was a method to begin with, as opposed to him conjuring cards out of the underworld? Do you want a cookie for figuring that out?
To all of the ignorant and jealous people constantly saying "He sucks he has no talent", or, "This guy is so unoriginal and I can do this and I'm 15", if you could, wouldn't you be on the show too? If you're that good that you could fool entire audiences LIVE, wouldn't you be signed and have a contract already? Oh and btw, EVERY trick that people perform has been done in one way or another, SO THERE IS NOTHING ORIGINAL. Like calm down. So many people on this video constantly saying the same thing over and over. Unless you put up a video of yourself doing these tricks live AND ones that have NEVER been done before in the history of human life, shut up as you and your pointless argument is invalid.
I WAS COMPLETELY AMAZED BY EVERY SINGLE TRICK HE DID. NO MATTER HOW EASY IT IS OR HOW CLICHE IT IS. THIS GUY DID THE TRICKS JUST SO SMOOTHLY AND I LOVED IT
My eyes can't catch everything what he does, so for me it's magic. I have no clue how he does that. And I like this feeling. It's better than bitching all these ''I can do better''. If you could, smartasses, you would be on Ellen. No credits are given for writing comments. Actions speaks louder. Awesome guy! :)
Lord, I can't believe how many people on this thread are critical. He's an entertainer, not a Warlock with a magic wand. He's not trying to make anyone believe he's doing things that are impossible, he's just using good old fashioned props and slight of hand to create _illusions_. Why so critical and hateful towards him? What he does is make people smile, there's nothing wrong with that.
+Firsto Frado Because their are two types of people in this world. People who have the unrelenting urge to know everything and the people who are satisfied with their ignorance.
Munira Aden Duplicates king cards,double lifts,passes, here and there trick. Very standard and basic card tricks. If u are really interested go search it up in youtube. Just write "here and therw card trick" and the names that I mentioned above and you'll realise how lame is actually is.
after someone pointed out that the guy used a clear sleeve for the last trick, i re-watched the part and saw the clear sleeve roll down . there's a reason why he's called an illusionist, not a magician. lol
Jiggy Giuliani I couldn't figure out how he did any of it although I realize he probably brought props with him that were designed to aid an illusionist.
Jiggy Giuliani I wonder if his deck of "Ellen" cards from the gift shop might have been altered by him somehow? Why would Ellen be selling cards anyway? hahaha
Silly, these are tricks you learn when you're bored af in math. I learned them all in about a week with less than an hours practice a day. I can sure as hell do them better than this guy.
+Part Time Gamer As weird as it sounds, all of these tricks are very beginner tricks, I've only been performing for a few years so I cant comment on an expert level, But I too learned some of these as my first tricks and was able to get them down within the week.
And you can't make an argument without insulting. What has my english to do with it? I won't come back and answer you again, you sir are immature, If you understand what he does when he does it, it can make the trick even better. Have a nice day
At 1:39 you see him flip the top card over and it's the king. He blew his own trick. He puts a king in your hand with misdirection and shows you a second King that's in the deck.
This guy is good. I think he needs to work on his "act" a bit. Maybe get a bit wittier or whatever. But he is very talented. Idk why people like to know how someone does a trick. I like not knowing. Once you know it cheapens it.
phileagfan I like to know how he did it, because I am into magic myself so I would love to preform them myself! although some of them I already know ^^
edkroketje1 Look up ambitious card routine and hand sandwich card trick. Neither of these are created by him nor should he have taken any credit for them. He is not original and that's why he isn't famous.
+phileagfan One you know the trick, and what it takes to pull it off, it makes it more impressive, because as far as you're aware, this is all pre-staged with Ellen and possibly the audience if you don't know the process.
Oh, man! I've learned just enough tricks to find this silly. I'm glad people here like it though. I thought I was redundant but not quite, this guy is on Ellen!
That last one is pretty easy. 7 of hearts forced, and the picture on his arm predrawn ahead of time. some kind of invisible magic store sticky substance folding his skin up to hide the 7 and make it look like just the one card drawn. might add a bit more black at the fold in his skin to help hide it. when he rubs his arm it just in sticks and releases the fold. watch how he holds his arm the while time. only need the 7 predrawn and hidden with the fold actually.
Everything ellen says always makes people laugh, but then there's me. I tell me friends "Their cards." And they stare at me, but when ellen says "Their cards." People crack up. It's a whole different story when ellen says it, her voice just makes everyone smile.
Joe Williams nope. when he pulls back and says "I can shoot you in the eye" he grabs the rubber band with his middle finger then slips his index finger back in causing the rubber band to be on the other side.
Are you people serious? Why do you have to ruin something as amazing as this? Just because "you can do it too". Well. I'm just guessing half the people that watched this, can't. So let us appreciate and be amazed by this guy.
don kaspersky there are some things better left unknown. We can find these things by thinking about it. "Will not knowing hurt me?" If it wont, they what is the harm in not knowing?
At 6.00 it looks as if he's wearing some sort of transparent armwear, as you can kind of see the ends on his wrists. But this guy is really impressive! Gotta learn me some illusion-making!
The one where he said did the two rubber bands watch when he says, 'I could shoot you in the eye but I wouldn't do that' he used that to distract you and quickly move fingers to the other side, it's not 'magic' just illusion, the whole name of the game is to distract and do the unexpected
The last one's actually pretty easy to figure out. First, it didn't matter where he stopped the deck, as I believe he did a slight of hand to grab the one which was already on the top. When he was drawing the card, he was actually wearing a sleeve. He's just tracing over what's already there. If you look very carefully at his wrist when he's "shaking" the deck, you can see the end of the sleeve, which looks like a thin, skin-colored band. He just pulls on the sleeve to reveal the extra part.
The elastic band trick you can clearly see he switches fingers when he says he could shoot her in the face with it. Even slow the video down its soo obvious
He actually uses 2 kings in his deck :) Because he shows the 2 of clubs with the double lift. puts a king in her hand. then takes the 2 of clubs and rubs it on ellens card(king) and then if you play the video at 0.25 speed 01:39 you see he accidentally flips up the top card in his deck and flashes the other king when ellen is holding her king.
Fuckers you people don't know what magic is, aren't every trick so simple once you know the secret. Thats the problem of youtube, they reveal tricks which is strickly prohibited in magic. Get the fuck out of youtube and grab some books.
the last trick is simple, he cuts the deck at the 7 of hearts because he knows where it is, or the whole deck is 7 of hearts, his hand has the 7 of hearts on it from before thats why he didnt show his sleeve, and he drew a little bit on it. when he wiped he removed the glue that was holding back the 7 of hearts and that is it. i think
Actually I think it was a clear sleeve with the card drawn on. You can look closely and see the sleeve peel back a little right below his palm on his wrist.
First trick was a double lift, where he makes us think that the chosen card is not on top. The rubber band is extremely simple, as he switches the band from his index to middle finger when he does the "I would shoot you in the eye" move. The third is puzzling, but has either a card force or prepared deck.
www.reference.com/beauty-fashion/meaning-solid-black-armband-tattoos-ff3bf6053bd83fc2 Black armband tattoos take their roots from black cloth armbands traditionally worn as a sign of mourning. These circles of cloth were worn over the sleeve of a shirt or jacket or just on the skin in the days and weeks following the passing of a loved one. In order to carry the memories of a lost friend or family member past the duration of wearing a physical arm band, many people choose to have black arm bands tattooed on their skin. This serves as a permanent, personal reminder of a special person and shows an individual's dedication to the remembrance of the person he lost. Black armband tattoos are commonly placed on the wrists and ankles. Some people elect to have bands on their upper arm near the shoulder or on the top of the forearm by the elbow. Black armband tattoos are placed as single or double bands and vary in thickness depending on the recipient's wishes.
Wow, I was replying to a guy who said he wasn't original, and then suddenly I realized how many of you seem to agree. What are you all, elitists? I mean, of course he might not have all of his tricks be original, but he's great! I mean, why does it matter if the majority doesn't know and gets that genuine thrill, regardless of what kind of "beliefs" they tag with it? I wager the most of us wouldn't go up onto Ellen's show and attempt an entire series of routines that are completely original to ourselves, that's just impossible in most cases. Aside from that, the magic community is small as it is, so I think this sort of exposure of a pretty skilled guy is fantastic. It's better than a clown or any one of us (mostly teenagers making these condescending remarks) who feel we're more skilled than he is but seriously, who cares? He didn't flash, it's likely NOBODY in the audience knows what he did unless they're a heckler or have cared enough to learn the secrets before-hand, so why does it matter what he did? Jeez, get over yourselves.
I'm no magician and I like to watch them but this guy has lousy stage presence, he doesn't articulate his tricks well, and when he does his finale of the trick he goes through it so fast that the audience is a bit confused as to what happened. Ellen had to tell him a few times to do the trick again so the audience can grasp what he actually did.
Am I the only one who doesn't know a thing about magic and am actually amazed by every CZcams video I've seen about it?
No Homie
+Bobby Sherman I do miss that.
+Bobby Sherman I know a lot and I'm still amazed. I can even see some of the tricks, but I'm still amazed by the skillfulness. For example the rubber band trick is obvious, but it's executed so smooth that is still amazing.
+AGEMO please elaborate
Jakub Szymaniak You see when he is pulling the bands to show he can "shoot her in her eye" and that the bands doesn't go through each other - that's the moment he switches his fingers and the small band flips and find itself on the other side. But I still enjoy watching it. Great execution.
"Do it again!!" "Do that thing again!!!" Hahaha Ellen really loves magic :))
+Trojan BackDoor.Flashback it's not a chin. It's like showing how big the smile is. The more ")"s, the bigger the smile. Sth like that.
+princessguardian Who doesn't like magic? haha
She is so cute! 😊
Those single moms in the audience laugh at any single word Ellen musters up
I thought I was the only one who noticed
It's because there is a screen telling them when to laugh, it's all scripted
+SAM thestopmotionman how do you know that?
GOOD FUCKING GOD! Who cares HOW he did it? Do you HAVE to know and say "it's fake" when we already know it is? It is amazing and doesn't need to be explained, that's the charm. Let it be and don't try to ruin it just because you can't understand it!
***** i care....
***** People get into magic to learn how tricks are done, that's 90% the point of being a magician/illusionist.
+DjZenitSwe The real question is, why do you care that others care how he did it?
To all the people saying "THIS ISN'T MAGIC!!!1!!!" Did you notice the part where it said he's an illusionist?
purls before swine Creative Consultant never said illusionist.
FUCK YOU ETHAN!!
+Hermann D. Ortega Bet you feel dumb
+안녕하세요 piff thats what they want you to think..like its not magic...but it actually is
4:18
I will never understand this mentality on the internet that you suddenly feel a higher sense of entitlement and doucheyness when it comes to figuring out magic tricks.
Of course there is a method, why did you not think there was a method to begin with, as opposed to him conjuring cards out of the underworld? Do you want a cookie for figuring that out?
Since this is my post, all your comments are getting deleted, because I can't be bothered with other humans on this day.
How do you delete other comments?
CallMeJonesy Psh, I wish. You offering?
Kaleb H Nice one!
Kaleb H haha as someone who is not gay; I had to laugh dude that was funny
To all of the ignorant and jealous people constantly saying "He sucks he has no talent", or, "This guy is so unoriginal and I can do this and I'm 15", if you could, wouldn't you be on the show too? If you're that good that you could fool entire audiences LIVE, wouldn't you be signed and have a contract already?

dont enrage the internet geniouses
its not that fact that the skills are easy. its the fact that they are not well executed. like the 2 obvious (to a magician) double lifts at the start
yea there just ass holes this guy was cool
gusdahlehhater if you can then why arent you on the show? btw have i told you about the time when i was 14 and traveled to mars??
Holy hell you're just as much of a hater as they are
stop saying it's fake. he's an illusionist. ofc it's fake.
I WAS COMPLETELY AMAZED BY EVERY SINGLE TRICK HE DID. NO MATTER HOW EASY IT IS OR HOW CLICHE IT IS. THIS GUY DID THE TRICKS JUST SO SMOOTHLY AND I LOVED IT
You are the kind of dumbass i hate
Antoine Badawi care to elaborate why?
he did simple effects
+Shikhanshu Agarwal yeah he just did double lifts, and at the end he forced the 7 of hearts
Yeah that's what it's about. This is not a fucking card trick competition or some elaborate magic geek show. ^^
My eyes can't catch everything what he does, so for me it's magic. I have no clue how he does that. And I like this feeling. It's better than bitching all these ''I can do better''. If you could, smartasses, you would be on Ellen. No credits are given for writing comments. Actions speaks louder. Awesome guy! :)
illusnists>magicians
rusiru161
nice
His tricks are so basic and unoriginal. All his tricks he just copied off of other magicians.
Michael Silva You just said "His tricks are... unoriginal" while also saying "he just copied off of other magicians." What?
"Mhm ok mhm yep mhm mhm WOW! "
LOL i know xD
OK okay 😀😀
Lindsay Ashton
Got a little irritating
the first trick is actually david blaines trick.
Sr. Asnoman The sandwich trick that he did, That was David Blaine trick.
It's everyone's trick
Well you're right John. That's one of my favorite tricks to do in an intimate setting.
Lol just cuz u saw david blaine do it first that doesn't mean he invented it
+TheKeisari he actually shows the second king of hearts if you pay attention...
Lord, I can't believe how many people on this thread are critical. He's an entertainer, not a Warlock with a magic wand. He's not trying to make anyone believe he's doing things that are impossible, he's just using good old fashioned props and slight of hand to create _illusions_. Why so critical and hateful towards him?
What he does is make people smile, there's nothing wrong with that.
the problem is that why can't we being amazed with his work rather than try finding solution or the tricks of it?
+Firsto Frado well thats stupid, why would i be amazed if i can do it ?
its hard to be amazed when you know what is he doing the whole time :|
+danial lau what is he doing
+Firsto Frado Because their are two types of people in this world. People who have the unrelenting urge to know everything and the people who are satisfied with their ignorance.
Munira Aden Duplicates king cards,double lifts,passes, here and there trick. Very standard and basic card tricks. If u are really interested go search it up in youtube. Just write "here and therw card trick" and the names that I mentioned above and you'll realise how lame is actually is.
Ellen sounds like a child "😆what r u gonna do now?" I LOVE IT
after someone pointed out that the guy used a clear sleeve for the last trick, i re-watched the part and saw the clear sleeve roll down . there's a reason why he's called an illusionist, not a magician. lol
That's one of his rubber bands rolling down on his wrist. Remember? He pulled rubber bands from that wrist, that's one of them.
Kelline Pickett ohh that could be it as well. :/
Jiggy Giuliani I couldn't figure out how he did any of it although I realize he probably brought props with him that were designed to aid an illusionist.
Kelline Pickett oh absolutely. i know there are props specifically made for professional illusionist.
Jiggy Giuliani I wonder if his deck of "Ellen" cards from the gift shop might have been altered by him somehow? Why would Ellen be selling cards anyway? hahaha
It's like I'm seeing Dory (in human form) saying "do that again" 😂
Why is it that just about everyone in the comments suddenly become born magicians?
Silly, these are tricks you learn when you're bored af in math. I learned them all in about a week with less than an hours practice a day. I can sure as hell do them better than this guy.
+Andrew Park Sure you can
+Part Time Gamer As weird as it sounds, all of these tricks are very beginner tricks, I've only been performing for a few years so I cant comment on an expert level, But I too learned some of these as my first tricks and was able to get them down within the week.
Hahaha yeah suddenly all of them are practicing this for years some of them graduated from Hogwarts come on, attention whores.
Mario Marinić You don't need to practice this for years to get it down -.-
LOVE ELLEN REACTION! ! Like a cute kid amazed. . too good!! good illusionist! !
This man did the rubber band trick 10 inches away from my face. It is unbelievable how illusions can work.
This guy was good, but I wanna see him do something extraordinary like make the whole audience disappear
On god
This dudes on tv doing the things the magician at the Mexican restaurant does by my house for tips.. Lol
jack davis That restaurant guy needs a better agent.
Also, I'm sure he's better looking than the restaurant guy. How the World Works 101
I know Eric personally and he has one of the best minds in magic today. The effects he creates are original and amazing!
Splendid :)
Wow !!
Lol, what a lovely card force in the last trick. I know some of them but not all, he's very good :)
speebyda I think quite some people know what a card force is. But i just think that this one was very obvious but well executed.
And you can't make an argument without insulting. What has my english to do with it? I won't come back and answer you again, you sir are immature, If you understand what he does when he does it, it can make the trick even better.
Have a nice day
speebyda You need to relax. If this one comment can set you off like that, you need to consider anger management. That is by no means an insult.
Lol very good there all 7❤ that's y he didn't show the rest of the cards
At 1:39 you see him flip the top card over and it's the king. He blew his own trick. He puts a king in your hand with misdirection and shows you a second King that's in the deck.
Well no one there saw that I guess
knew it was a trick deck... smh cheating the game isnt he?
not a trick deck, just simple tripple and double lift. basics of "magic"
+Vaganhope Gaming so how did he have a king of hearts in his hand when it was in women's hands? Maybe not a trick deck but perhaps a dupe card?
+IcySlime it had a king on top of a 2 and a dupe king under the 2
The real magic is how he supposedly drew the 7 of hearts with only a black sharpie.
I love magicians that make old stuff better.
i like the part when he said "Oh good you did you research"
he's so good!
My two favourite things in one video Ellen and Magic!
That's really cool!
funny how much the 'double lift' can impress the average person.
Well... It does.
and it's a bad double lift oO
And it was extremely obvious, too.
I see Ellen but hear dory
She's Dory
Lloyd Franklin love it😂
though the same thing
Geilson Neville I'm pretty sure Ellen does dory's voice
Anime Lover she does. Everybody knows that
These are tricks we've all seen performed one way or another, but the guy still has talent. I'd like to see original tricks from him.
I LOVE it when she says "Oh come on!" Ellen makes a great audience!
This guy is good. I think he needs to work on his "act" a bit. Maybe get a bit wittier or whatever. But he is very talented. Idk why people like to know how someone does a trick. I like not knowing. Once you know it cheapens it.
phileagfan I like to know how he did it, because I am into magic myself so I would love to preform them myself!
although some of them I already know ^^
edkroketje1 Look up ambitious card routine and hand sandwich card trick. Neither of these are created by him nor should he have taken any credit for them. He is not original and that's why he isn't famous.
scout101499 I know he didn't create them ^^
+phileagfan One you know the trick, and what it takes to pull it off, it makes it more impressive,
because as far as you're aware, this is all pre-staged with Ellen and possibly the audience if you don't know the process.
+Genes Its his first time on TV. He is a guy from youtube. Of course he is a bit awkward. Over time he will get use to it.
Not the most charismatic dude but those tricks were impressive.
Very nicely done great job
Oh, man! I've learned just enough tricks to find this silly. I'm glad people here like it though. I thought I was redundant but not quite, this guy is on Ellen!
The number of times she says 'mm hmm' is unreal.
That last one is pretty easy. 7 of hearts forced, and the picture on his arm predrawn ahead of time. some kind of invisible magic store sticky substance folding his skin up to hide the 7 and make it look like just the one card drawn. might add a bit more black at the fold in his skin to help hide it. when he rubs his arm it just in sticks and releases the fold. watch how he holds his arm the while time. only need the 7 predrawn and hidden with the fold actually.
Everything ellen says always makes people laugh, but then there's me. I tell me friends "Their cards." And they stare at me, but when ellen says "Their cards." People crack up. It's a whole different story when ellen says it, her voice just makes everyone smile.
the more i watch the more i love this
When he says "I can shoot you im the eye" he does something with the fingers and he did the same the second time.
it looks like he flips the rubber band
luke mc exactly
The trick happens when he slides the band from right to left, I'm not going to say exactly what's happening, you can search that for yourself :)
Joe Williams nope. when he pulls back and says "I can shoot you in the eye" he grabs the rubber band with his middle finger then slips his index finger back in causing the rubber band to be on the other side.
Joe Williams no thats not where the move happens. its after that.
you can't say amateur magician without "copying david blaine's tricks"
😒
😒
😒
+SkizzlePiano david blane has no tricks.. loser.
this guy isn't a beginner, he has actually created very great illusions for ellusionist.com. Eric Ross isn't a copycat Either
The rubber band thing is literally the simplest of simple beginner tricks lol but everything else blew my mind haha
getting a tattoo !! that is commitment!!!
Are you people serious? Why do you have to ruin something as amazing as this? Just because "you can do it too". Well. I'm just guessing half the people that watched this, can't. So let us appreciate and be amazed by this guy.
good point
don kaspersky there are some things better left unknown. We can find these things by thinking about it. "Will not knowing hurt me?" If it wont, they what is the harm in not knowing?
He didn't have a red marker so how could he draw a 7 of hearts? Magic is so confusing and cool lol.
take a shot everytime ellen says *mhmm* or *okay* 😂
David Blain creates these tricks and everyone else repeats them and people are still amazed, now that's amazing.
I dare you to count how many times Ellen said mm hmm and okay or mm kay
hahaha oh my God I was thinking exactly that..
He is just a Disturb Reality fan!
Holy crap, that is incredible!
He's sooooooooooooo nervous and awkward! I love it!
BUTTER
At 6.00 it looks as if he's wearing some sort of transparent armwear, as you can kind of see the ends on his wrists.
But this guy is really impressive! Gotta learn me some illusion-making!
***** Hate to break it to you, but that's a rubber band.
+HoodedOracle no he has an arm colored sleve
the trick is a sleve the thing he saw was a rubber band
The only one that impressed me was the rubber band one cause the other ms are easy
And the drawing one that was impressive
Ellen is freaking hilarious! And this guy! Wow! God has truly blessed him! I hope he uses it for good!
CRAZYNESS..!! Haha..somehow i find that would rather amusing..
The one where he said did the two rubber bands watch when he says, 'I could shoot you in the eye but I wouldn't do that' he used that to distract you and quickly move fingers to the other side, it's not 'magic' just illusion, the whole name of the game is to distract and do the unexpected
Uhm, that's why he's called an 'illusionist', hello?
Hate not the secret of the magic I know the secret
It's an incredible bit of sleight of hand though.
TonkarzOfSolSystem Meh, you can learn that bit in minutes, lol
mazemir1
Then why aren't you on Ellen?
Watch as he makes tricks "butter".
very good sleight of hand... controlled very well
The last one's actually pretty easy to figure out. First, it didn't matter where he stopped the deck, as I believe he did a slight of hand to grab the one which was already on the top. When he was drawing the card, he was actually wearing a sleeve. He's just tracing over what's already there. If you look very carefully at his wrist when he's "shaking" the deck, you can see the end of the sleeve, which looks like a thin, skin-colored band. He just pulls on the sleeve to reveal the extra part.
The elastic band trick you can clearly see he switches fingers when he says he could shoot her in the face with it. Even slow the video down its soo obvious
Basic magic shop tricks
ya
+Dan Letts from like the 80s lol...this was the worst
haha omg you killed me he's so idiot yepp regular tricks as well but the last trick that was with his hand it was really ridiculous out there 😂
+Dan Letts He used a Technic that its called double lift
+AJ Barrios oh you don't say? :o all of this was easy expect for the drawing on his arm. no idea how he did that.
he makes ideas BUTTER
Wow! Amazing! I think Penn & Teller would really like this guy!!
He actually uses 2 kings in his deck :) Because he shows the 2 of clubs with the double lift. puts a king in her hand. then takes the 2 of clubs and rubs it on ellens card(king) and then if you play the video at 0.25 speed 01:39 you see he accidentally flips up the top card in his deck and flashes the other king when ellen is holding her king.
Those tricks are all simple beginner tricks you find on CZcams
Lol yeah that first one takes no skill to do
+Sam Smooth yeah really easy ones
+Farah Kirmani he "want it" to make them better. Bitch please
Fuckers you people don't know what magic is, aren't every trick so simple once you know the secret.
Thats the problem of youtube, they reveal tricks which is strickly prohibited in magic.
Get the fuck out of youtube and grab some books.
Love Ellen so much!
love this too :)
The first one was done by David Blaine 20 years ago:/
the last trick is simple, he cuts the deck at the 7 of hearts because he knows where it is, or the whole deck is 7 of hearts, his hand has the 7 of hearts on it from before thats why he didnt show his sleeve, and he drew a little bit on it. when he wiped he removed the glue that was holding back the 7 of hearts and that is it. i think
good thinking there
Sounds about right
If the last trick is simple, make a video and show us...how simple it really is.
Actually I think it was a clear sleeve with the card drawn on. You can look closely and see the sleeve peel back a little right below his palm on his wrist.
First trick was a double lift, where he makes us think that the chosen card is not on top. The rubber band is extremely simple, as he switches the band from his index to middle finger when he does the "I would shoot you in the eye" move. The third is puzzling, but has either a card force or prepared deck.
Well done :D (They aren't his tricks by the way, but he did really well performing them on national tv!)
just love how ellen sounds like a kid saying again again
" My job is to take ideas and make things better " Please.. these are al old tricks.
I haven't seen a few. He also creates tricks for Ellusionist.com
+Sharp 07 i havent seen any of these, so nope
Peter Pan Rubber band one is old, the sandwich one is from David Blaine. The last one is probably from another famous magician
+Sharp 07 this video is also 5 years old so wtf...?
Old tricks that you can't do
They all start with showing her a deck and making her pick one...
I love Ellen's reaction to the double card deck switch. "What" lol
got to love ellen! :D
The thing I love is that I know where he makes each move, but he is so slick and fast it is hard to fathom how much practice it takes...
Duplicate king of heart.. doublelift... uh. ok

Black armband tattoos take their roots from black cloth armbands traditionally worn as a sign of mourning. These circles of cloth were worn over the sleeve of a shirt or jacket or just on the skin in the days and weeks following the passing of a loved one.
In order to carry the memories of a lost friend or family member past the duration of wearing a physical arm band, many people choose to have black arm bands tattooed on their skin. This serves as a permanent, personal reminder of a special person and shows an individual's dedication to the remembrance of the person he lost.
Black armband tattoos are commonly placed on the wrists and ankles. Some people elect to have bands on their upper arm near the shoulder or on the top of the forearm by the elbow. Black armband tattoos are placed as single or double bands and vary in thickness depending on the recipient's wishes.
need to work on his acting
Once he develops his stage presence, he's gonna be recruited by Vegas for sure
Wow, I was replying to a guy who said he wasn't original, and then suddenly I realized how many of you seem to agree. What are you all, elitists? I mean, of course he might not have all of his tricks be original, but he's great! I mean, why does it matter if the majority doesn't know and gets that genuine thrill, regardless of what kind of "beliefs" they tag with it? I wager the most of us wouldn't go up onto Ellen's show and attempt an entire series of routines that are completely original to ourselves, that's just impossible in most cases.
Aside from that, the magic community is small as it is, so I think this sort of exposure of a pretty skilled guy is fantastic. It's better than a clown or any one of us (mostly teenagers making these condescending remarks) who feel we're more skilled than he is but seriously, who cares? He didn't flash, it's likely NOBODY in the audience knows what he did unless they're a heckler or have cared enough to learn the secrets before-hand, so why does it matter what he did? Jeez, get over yourselves.
The first one was a CLEAR DOUBLE LIFT!!!!!
I'm no magician and I like to watch them but this guy has lousy stage presence, he doesn't articulate his tricks well, and when he does his finale of the trick he goes through it so fast that the audience is a bit confused as to what happened. Ellen had to tell him a few times to do the trick again so the audience can grasp what he actually did.
Yeah but if it is indeed his first appearance on tv with a whole audience. I can imagine that has quite a different impact.
I couldn't have said that better myself. But I would also add that these tricks are good, but not good enough to be on ellen!
Or she made him do it again because she was so amazed and wanted to see it done again?
haha! he has fisting lines.
The more i wafch the more i love this
that last card force on that last trick was slick af
'i wanted to make it better'
