    Tom is the perfect magician's guest. You KNOW he's for real and his reactions are genuine.

  • @Excludos
    @Excludos Před 7 lety +791

    The sleight of hand here is absolutely insane. I see him do the first bit and go "Oh. Any amateur can do that trick". Then Tom signed the card and everything after was impossible to distinguish. I can see some moves here and there, but they don't correlate to what's happening.. I'm sure I could go through the video frame by frame and figure it out but why bother? This is so damn near perfect. I have not seen anyone as good in a long while.

    • @themaun
      @themaun Před 7 lety +14

      I think you just thought like that on the first part because he was covering Tom's angles but not the camera ones. I saw through most of the techniques he used but he does it brilliantly both in technique as in performance...

    • @Excludos
      @Excludos Před 7 lety +3

      +themaun Sure, but it's also child's play. I'm not a magician by any stretch, but even I know how to do those bits fairly easily. So when I see a supposedly good magician/sleight of hander use techniques even I know, it doesn't exactly impress me. But like I said, everything after the signature was absolutely massively impressive. I don't know how he did it, and I don't want to know. I'm satisfied with it just blowing my mind

    As an aspiring magician who pretty much knows how these tricks are done I think it's cooler than being in the dark and wondering how he does it because of the incredible amount of skill that some of this stuff takes. Being able to move and speak so quickly while still executing these sleights perfectly is just art.

  • @fa.h.
    @fa.h. Před 7 lety +83

    Most of the tricks looks like is based on he actually having the card in his hand when he put his hand in the pocket, or having the card in his hand before he touched the box, and shaking in a way that you dont see where it really comes from.
    I sort of see how he do it, but it must have taken hell of a lot time to learn to do it that good without being too slow or screwing something up.

    • @fa.h.
      @fa.h. Před 7 lety +5

      And its also true with the back pocket thingy, just that the card you see when he turns his ass to the camera, isnt the right one.

    I watched this video a couple of times last year and excitedly shared it with friends. Fast-forward to this year. Now I am more savvy about card handling. After a few recent viewings I could figure out how each effect could be done. Now I wish I could go back in time and un-learn magic techniques: this was so well performed that I want that wonderful sense of jaw-dropping amazement and mystery back.

    • @JaihindhReddy
      @JaihindhReddy Před 8 lety +1

      Ekanshdeep Gupta The first trick is that, Tom touched a card and it turns out to be the 6 of Hearts, but that wasn't the card he touched, you can see Steven taking a different card. There is another 6 of hearts under the box. I dunno how the signed card went inside the box though. Then he shows the card went into Steven's back pocket. That is another card, when he removes that card you can see the 6 of hearts in his hand... Similar observation reveals a couple more.

    • @ekanshdeepgupta658
      @ekanshdeepgupta658 Před 8 lety

      +Jaihindh Reddy That really is impressive. I thought he might have utilised the illusion of choice. Couldn't figure out how. So thanks! The finesse with which is executes them is so fun to watch though. What do you reckon about the card's colour being changed at the end? Maybe pasted a card o another or something?

    • @JaihindhReddy
      @JaihindhReddy Před 8 lety

    That was a very very very very very clever routine!! It's not impossible to follow as long as you know a little bit about magic, however Steven has a lot of guts making a lot of risks with this trick. (eg especially with it in the box.) Awesome Steven as always and was really entertaining and fun as magic should be!!

      +Snitzel Thank you! :D I really like how people have to constantly guess what's about to happen next!

    OK so I watched it through twice and I have all the moves BUT I can't figure out if the signed 6 of hearts is a red back (in which case the drop from the card case has some risk) or it's a blue back (in which case there's some serious skill handling a double at the end). My gut says it's a red back, but the fact I'm going to have to watch this x number of more times is proof of Steven's skill. Well done sir. Have an FU trophy!

    I saw a couple of those but wow that was good. i mean it's a rehearsed routine so obviously it's perfect, but some of those setups were whole minutes in advance of the actual reveal

    I tried to make the video go slower and watch very carefully;.. still have no idea what happened...
