Ben's charisma is beaming.
thank you!!
@@TheComedyAndMagic wow your are really cool
If anyone has any questions, I'm doing an AMA at LAX airport today at noon.
Maybe don't mention your a pickpocket on an airport
@@churibmanI didn’t get your comment until now. Going to need you to come bail me out.
A magician exposing airport security theater would actually make a great act
Do you have a recommendation for a book or two for psychological magic?
In 2010, a guy stole my wallet on a train by trying to get me to sign a petition. He had his arm in a cast and shoved the clipboard towards me while he picked my pocket. Weird thing is he looked a lot like you.
Being a magician, I really like how he explains thing whilst also protecting some of our secrets. A true performer 👍
Our secrets? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ben is a freakin' legend. Everything the guy does is gold.
PLEASE invite Ben more!! He's my favorite guest you guys bring on
The greatest thing about magic for me is knowing how it's done but being unable to spot it. It's a testament to untold hours of practice and innumerable failures before perfection happened.
Love hearing the crew laughing in the background.
Ben Seidman may be the best person you get for any "insider reviews things" series than anyone else I've seen.
Thanks for watching!
You're an absolute delight to watch, Ben. I hope we see more of you here!
Please come back for more videos
Thank youuuu for the show! ❤
You are amazing Ben loved to watch more of you ♥
I was just watching his first video last night for the millionth time and wished Vanity Fair would have him back. He's delightful.
what I love more about sleight of hand is, even if you have some idea of how it was made, you can still be VERY impressed by the sheer amount of workmanship that goes into doing it so smoothly and appearing effortless
How casually he said he's a pick pocket lol
Its some of the most fun magic to perform with a crowd
He has a video on a different channel doing pickpocketing
We need more of him on this series
Thank you!
So glad you had Ben back - he's truly the best 🙂
Thanks buddy!
I'm so glad they brought this guy back! He's such a joy to listen to and he's so knowledgable!
I think my favorite parts are when Ben messes with the filming crew. More of that, please :D
I try :)
Ben Seidman is back! Yay! I'm a few hours late, but this was so awesome to see a part 2. Most these terms are review now, but this is still fun.
2:37 The crazy thing about the Phil Ivey scandal was that he effectively told the casinos beforehand in his "what I want as a VIP" documents that he was gonna edge-sort, and exactly how he was gonna do it (asking for specific brand of deck, asking for a specific type of dealer, asking the dealer to flip the cards around at the table). And the casino just went along with it because he was gonna gamble tons of money and they were dumb and greedy (and VIPs ask for weird stuff all the time).
except he didn't - the reason he lost his court cases was because he explicitly said it was for "luck" and "superstition" when the casinos asked "why?" That moved it to fraud.
@@Chiberia The casinos still had the option on review to say "sorry, but we can't make that accommodation because it could potentially compromise game integrity", but they didn't.
Ivey 100% cheated, not arguing that, just saying that the casinos basically LET him cheat (because they expected to still make millions of dollars off his visit).
@@michaelsparks1571 Yeah, not to mention... The casino would have known about the defect beforehand. I mean, come on, these are billion dollar businesses that are up to date on every form of trickery and gadgetry designed to rip them off. The fact it didn't raise even the slightest suspicion to the heads of the casino in and of itself is more suspicious.
Really glad to see Ben on here again, he's a real talent and is a natural at this kind of content!
Ben is hilarious, super knowledgable and a very talented magician. I could watch hours and hours of this. Keep it up!
I’ve been waiting for the follow up video for so long! Yay!
I made it mostly just for you. Thank you for the support! And patience :)
I absolutely love seeing Ben on this, I've watched the 1st video 4 times. What I love most are all the giggles behind camera!
YESSSSS THANK YOU FOR BRINGING HIM BACK!
So happy to get a part two!!
YYYEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!
BEEN WANTING A PART TWO WITH BEN FOREVER!!!
YAAAS! Been waiting for this!
Ben is just brilliant! Glad to see him back.

@@TheComedyAndMagic Excellent! Now I can sneak off to a corner to recreate the Jonah Hill fangirl gif :)
Ben is so charismatic. I love it. Also, needs more Juno footage 💚
This guy rocks - why hadn't I heard of him before! I'll definitely be on the lookout for his content. Great attitude and talent and humor. Rock on Ben!

Congrats Ben! These are my favorite vanity fair interviews.

All the background in-room laughter totally made this video for me
THERES A PART TWOOOOOO TY VANITY FAIR ILY
If they made 9 seasons of a Seinfeld like TV show using only this guy I'd 100% watch it.
What's the DEAL with Magic?!
Daaaaamn~ That switch @6:47 is so cool :)
I’m so glad that you invited this guy back! He’s so fun to watch!

Wow Spidey! Great to see you here 😃
I want part 3,4 and 5, please. Love this guy!

Please bring him back again! These are my favorite videos.
This guy is hilarious omg
Also, theres more to that particular ITYSL sketch, but I do understand using it to show how the trick would actually happen😊
Laughed out loud several times!! Love his delivery 😘👌🏻✨
Just watched the first part. This got recommend
What a charismatic guy! I would definitely play cards with him, surely nothing could go wrong!
Ok if we could get parts 3, 4, 5 ...1000, I'd be down for that.
YES! I love this guy! He makes me love magic again
That's the best thing to hear
Ugh yes we love him!
ATTTTENNNNNCIIIIOOOONNEEE! PICK POCKETE!!!!!!!!!

Just as in his first video, Ben is so charming and funny -- someone give this guy a movie or TV show, ASAP!
he is doing it smoothly
Awesome job, Ben!!
thank you!
More Ben Seidman please!
i love this videos.
Juno is wonderful!
AND NO ONE RETURNS MY CALLS! Was a grest moment especially when a crew member laughed
I want to know more about the ball trick! That was so cool
This guy is just amazing.
Thank you!
I've only clocked one trick this whole time (thanks to discovering magic before discovering boys), and that one was so flippin smooth it only makes it more impressive.
I have rewatched the 1st video about 100 times and I wake up to see this!?!?!?!? YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
he's back!!!
Ben is just simply the best
Few things make me as happy and enthralled as magic.
same
yayy they listened to how much we loved this!
I feel the same way!
Ben is no joke.
the loml
Thank you!
@@mainly_marvel aww shucks
This dude is hilarious 😂. Multiple pops out of me.
The balls routine reminds me of Eugene Berger on TV spots
13:00 Love when magic is done to be fun and inclusive, not smug and self-righteous.
That coin to other card is amazing, I am baffled and I know a lot of tricks. ⁉🤔
I love this guy; he is fantastic!
no cuz how tf did he do any of those tricks tho?
Bravo!!
Amazing, if you guys make a part 3 (i love Ben) its not a movie but you should totally check out a clip of "Rene Lavan" dude had one hand and performed the craziest magic tricks
Yes Ben!!!!!!!
I know some of those tricks. Got me a free beer here and there at the local bar. 😂
5:27 this incredible. The best example on this device I’ve ever seen.
Maybe we could build it into a pair of painters stilts so when you pick up the littler person, they become a bigger person. Hawkins would love that!!!!
Somehow this interview is a misleading truth.
10/10
This guy's charisma is insane.
he's baaaaaack!
I watched that card coin trick five times, and still have no clue.
Yeah that was impressive
There is a second coin underneath the ace of hearts. It’s a gimmick table.
@@ColinWEvansit looks like the signatures are different. I think it might be two coins
it's magic
Magicians live in a world of their own
He's a wonderful guy to be around but I'll also be in constant anxiousness of having yet another of my article expertly pickpocketed without my knowledge making me hyper aware 😂
Wonderful Ben!
Thanks Greg!
I guess I'm still in love with Ben Seidman
Phew, I thought I lost my edge
@@TheComedyAndMagic your sleight of hand game is so strong you've stolen my heart without me even noticing *wink*
You are by far, my new favourite human being.
Let's hope he's not a zionist.
Let's get a Part Three ;)
How did you do the translocation trick pleaseeee.. its ruining my life
Dude's a beast
The French word for magic means that your finger movements are done first.
It is not so much as the speed of your hands which deceives the eye, just that the finger movements are done before you attract attention to the hands.
Your last point about how magicians lead their audience that sleight of hand is fast and then René Lavand's ‘I Can't Do it Any Slower’ is a perfect example that speed isn’t what is at play here.
But of course a one handed magician had lightening fast reflexes and you will never see lol
What a fine magician.
AMAZING
Gracias!
I have the same brown jacket, great taste! =)
Are there lenses in your glasses? 🤣
Great videos
Ben is awesome :)
Wait guys I think he stole my heart too
