I kept trying this, even as we were working on this episode haha :D
Great trick, you bet your ass I followed along. The dog wasn’t up for it though, something about not having thumbs…. Or testicles, that last trick really offended him 😂
Give him a biscuit!
lol!
@@pinballwizard666 that’s the trick!
As a right-handed person, I naturally do the "incomfortable position" when I try Brian's trick with left arm on top, but when I go for the right arm on top, it makes it harder for me.
Same here - left over right, I couldn't understand that there was even a "trick" involved. Right over left - it all made sense.
With the wrist twist trick, I've always just adjusted when I corrected people after they mirror me and put their right hand over left right after I say left over right😂
My 10 year old daughter showed me the nose thing that's in the thumbnail. Her performace wasn't great and it wasn't working. I workshopped it with her and improved it so it fooled people much better.
Your version is much better than the one we worked on. Much harder for people to figure out. I'll show her later.
a while back, I watched a long vid of you doing a speech at some conference. to be honest, i only remember two things: 1) a guy trying to call you out on how you cleverly got their social media details. (not saying he's right; just remembering). 2) an impossible mentalism trick where a guy with a cardboard box on his head drew a picture of a christmas tree. that effect bugs me more than you'd believe.
imo, your amazing talent as a magician and mentalist should be recognized and remembered more often. point is that maybe you could go online every now and then and blow us all out of the water with a great original magic trick. just like you did for me with the guy wearing a cardboard box.
The second to last trick is so much fun at parties. It does work better with long sleeves though. Then you don't even have to switch since people mostly assume you are turning your hands the wrong direction. The other way is a bit uncomfortable. I always add a beat: " move your pinkies, move your thumbs, now your left middle finger" this always gets a pauze because people try to figure out which finger to move. Not only is it a good laugh, it focussen attention on their hands and the position. You could follow up (if you have long sleeves) with the 360 degree arm twist. I think it was taught on Scamschool at some point. Bringing it as a physical challenge also works really well. Especially if you precede the routine by comparing the hand touching over the shoulder thing (the mobility test where you put your hands together, one over the shoulder, one behind the back). It then becomes a friendly challenge up till the point they realize that they have stumbled into a magic trick
Old but fun, thank's a lot
I love diamond jim taylor he's a genius magic .. 🎩 I love this magic chanel is the best for me I learn olot
My one issue with the hand flipping bit, as Diamond Jim taught it, he crossed his hands the other way after doing the swap, so it's visibly different before he flips them up than how they were positioned before he broke to give a directive, which is the sort of thing an eagle eyed audience member could notice fairly easily since he's clearly in a different configuration than he directed the audience into. Also, the whole "make sure the thumbs are pointed down" thing is weird to me, because if I was an audience member going through this procedure and the performer told me to make sure my thumbs were pointed down, I'd be like "as opposed to what? where else could my thumbs possibly be pointing after following those steps?". Personally, when I perform this, I like to say "make sure your left pinky is on top" because that's just fiddly enough that it puts their attention on their own fingers and how they are interlaced for a second checking to see if they need to readjust, and while it's an equally pointless directive, it's not *obviously* pointless like the thumb thing since some people would naturally interlace their fingers with their right pinky on top and nobody was consciously paying attention to *how* they interlace their fingers. I like that as the check in line because nobody knows where I'm going with this, nobody knows what might *actually* matter or why it might matter, they just know I'm showing them a cool trick with their hands, but since the thumbs pointing downward is the natural consequent of the procedure up to that point it seems weird, from the perspective of the audience, why you would emphasize the importance of the thumb positioning when there's nowhere else to put the thumbs. Audience members questioning minutiae like that is what can cause them to unravel the secret after a few moments of thought, which naturally lessens the impact of the trick.
Having said all that, this is easily one of my favorite tricks for a variety of reasons, A, it is totally propless, so we don't need a deck of cards or a bunch of coins or whatever, B, it immediately drives audience engagement and investment, since now they're part of the show, and C, it's really quick and easy, so it's great as a parlor or party trick as a stand alone, it's great for video calls where a card trick might be less practical because they can't physically draw a card from the deck, it's an amazing opener to get the whole audience on the same page and on your side, it's good one on one, in small groups, for large crowds, or really *any* audience (assuming the audience has an above average number of functioning hands, of course, this might alienate a crowd of amputees). An incredibly simple and versatile trick that I've never seen fail to please an audience since the buy in is immediate and automatic.
I posted that before finishing the video where Brian has a follow up trick that I've not encountered before where having the left pinky on top actually *does* matter, neat.
I didn't even see the one you're talking about. Honestly, I think I was hypnotized after the finger magnets. I remember my fingers getting close to each other and next thing I knew I was twerking to Elvis songs outside of Red Lobster 😑
Loving it!
Nice haircut Brushwood!
We did the first test as kids all the time except we would use and invisible string being wrapped around the fingers instead of thumb screws
the 2nd hand trick reminds me of that one arm twist trick
Coleslaw is back!
Nice 👍👍👍👍
Tell him to say you rock cancel that
There was something off with Brian, oh yes he normally wear glasses.
didnt work on me, my fingers are werid. :D
But hands don't have fingers. Not unless you have a face-card anyways.
