Catch the adventures and tricks right here. With this magician / comedian based out of Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. I make funny stuff. That’s my only rule. Everything has to be funny, from street magic to stage illusions, as long as there is a joke to be made. I do magic tricks, sketches, stand-up comedy, card tricks, mind reading, and tricks with naked people. I’ve been on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, MTV Greatest Party Stories Ever, and Wizard Wars. You can find me pulling pranks on friends, gags on strangers, or just general sleight of hand, magic, illusions, and the occasional bar bet.

    It's even worse for Jesse Eisenberg. The interviewer clearly asks him: "do you have like a SNAP card trick or anything?" so CLEARLY it was agreed beforehand, that he was going to do THAT trick, and they still boned him on it.

  • @mindwell00
    @mindwell00 Před 7 měsíci

    So Jimmy Fallon actually talks a lot about how he credits Penn and Teller for him hitting it big, basically they let him stay on a gig that he was going to get bumped from and his manager and agent (not at the time) were both in the crowd of the gig). So much of his excitement likely comes from a genuine affection for those two which then ports across.

  • @JoshHibberd
    @JoshHibberd Před 3 lety +2

    I like how even someone as huge and successful as Eddie Redmayne is also nervous performing magic. You can see his hands trembling throughout the trick. He even plays it into his performance saying when Jimmy licks the deck "my hands might vibrate as it happens". I might have to steal that line.

      I kind of spotted it when he pinned up the bottom of the jacket, because he reached across to do his left side with his right hand and that felt really unnatural. It felt off and made me suspicious of the left hand but I didn't realise it was fake straight away, just that something odd was going on.

    • @choreomaniac
      @choreomaniac Před 3 lety

    "Stop narrating what you're doing!"
    Right? Just look at the silent magicians, like Teller. You don't need to tell people what you're doing, in fact it can be a detriment to the trick because they're not going to believe what you say anyway.

    • @elfinstuff8934

    I am from Colon Michigan. Ali came here a long time ago, he showed up in a limo and went to Abbott's. I would ride my bike to Abbott's all the time. Have you been to Colon? I am sure you have. If, not you need too. If you ever do Magic Week, it would be cool to see you do a video while you are there.
    My grandfather was a police officer, and my aunt would host magicians during the week, so we got free tickets to the shows growing up, and we could watch rehearsal during the day, it was a great time. The one year when Harry Blackstone Jr. did his performance, actually his last performance in Colon. I got to sit by him in the crowd, during all the shows that week and hang out with him.
