His sleight of hand is amazing. Even when you know how certain tricks are done and you're looking closely for it, you still can't see it. His sleight of hand is flawless
THIS. I am also a professional magician. It's very easy to understand for someone like me how the tricks are done. But the real talent is in presentation and graceful movement. When you distract your audience it must be done in a way that subconciously distracts the audience and makes them never question the movement you just made. David will sometimes look away off to side and make you look there with him while he finishes the trick with his hands.
Even though I know exactly how he does it it would be an absolute honor to nave David Blaine perform his famous three card monte on me. You are right he is absolutely flawless you can’t even see it.
David was the first of his art I took seriously. I was in sudan at the time and one of my older relatives showed me Davids first Street special. When I was back in America the first thing I got was a deck of biccycles. His style is great and unpenatrable, and the best part...NO STOOGES!
true, i'v been performing blaine-style illusions and tricks for years now and they are totally impromptu and do take loads of practice and skill. david was the reason i started and always will be simply because of his style and the unique way he communicates with his audience. he makes performing in the streets something exciting, and gets the audience involved so theres no doubt that there are no gimmicks involved or actors (unlike chris angel etc).
i agree with u. I collect decks too. I just cant imagine myself destroying a card from an expesive deck. I dont use a lot of my decks either, i just buy them for the look.
The thing that gets me the most is the pop he does on lifts. I've been trying that shit for like 10 months now, and I basically never nail it. I can get the sound with a flash, or no sound and no flash...but never the perfect combo. Everything he does with card is amazing, but that pop sound is no joke!
(CONT.) For those who are reading my comment If you're a magician or your in to cards you know what I'm taking about that DL and P. breaks . PEACE!!! Let's continue bring happiness to people. We are not created to fool them but we are created to bring happiness to them. Thanks to the person who uploaded this video. You can't see db doing this tricks in his db tv special at abc. Thanks you man.
All the tricks that db performed in this video I figured it out right away and I performed it with people around me also except with the ripping of cards because I don't have extra decks to waste. It's not easy because I'm not as good as db but as much as possible I did it clean and simple. He's my idol by the way. I will continue doing this trick to different people. Because many of them don't know about DL, P. Breaks etc.
That was very nice to watch. With all of the big publicity stunts that these guys have to do to keep peoples attention its nice to see some good solid magic.
Believe me when I say your not going to find a talent like David Blaine in ANY magic dvd, IBM/SAM lecture, or convention! If I had a resturant I wouldn't hire Hollingworth, or Asher, or anyone but the elite. Blaine is diffently in a catagory with a Williamson, Malone, Copperfield, Henning. A lot of people are his fans, and the ratting's he pulls in show it! PS He does a really nice no get ready DL, I like it.
thats true, but even if there was to be a gimmick once in a blue moon, he has the skill to make the audience so shocked that clean ups can be made in the blink of an eye
I never heard of the Blaine/Angel incident, thats very unfortunate! I actually get quite a number of gigs because someone saw Criss on TV! The laymen really adore everything he does and many laymen consider him to be the greatest ever. You have to respect the positive impact Criss has had on the general public. They really love him.
No your wrong! David Blaine has the highest ratted TV Magic Specials of all time ever period. He is VERY technically sound. Remember at the time he first appeared on TV NOBODY IN THE WORLD WAS DOING ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON TV!
your videos are unbearable to watch. you don't disguise your hidden movements very well at all, the music is god awful, and wipe that stupid smile off your face please.

@@kuelf123 it's not only magic but psychology too
many people can do the same tricks as DB but NOBODY can do them the way he does!
Tasha Plackett there are many and You can also subscribe to their youtube channel since they teach the trick as well. Go figure
When he pops cards from hand to hand it's so exact it's almost an intimidation tactic he uses to control the room. Brilliant man.
It’s so true dB is one of the best card trick magicians 4 sure
He has the ability to take command of the room
Perfectly summed it up
the way he can take a simple double lift and use it in such creative and varied tricks is amazing.
he does it so clean and so fast. I've been trying to do it using the same movement
Flawless
@765Dmar Johnson to lift two cards at the same time, so it seems as one card
One of the greatest Magicians of all time! Probobly the best Card Man to ever walk the face of the earth!
It's freaky
Nah, Juan Tamariz is the best card man
@@nicco-sixty Few touch him Rene was one
@@nicco-sixtyNah
He is such a perfectionist. He is almost a deity
David is great, great style and humanizes everyone...love his everything!
a truely amazing example of how to entertain a group of people a complete masterclass by the master of magic
master at work
David Blaine is the man!!!! he handling is siiick!!!!
Oh my God he predicted that the world is shutting down right now

Really
@Words911 What
Blaine is the greatest - but he uses gimmicks and stooges and actors
it is tough to please a crowd when all your sides are covered!!!
damn i need to learn more misdirection
The master at work!
one of the best!!
masterpiece
David is way too cool. Very good work.
PERFECT--GREAT-FANTASTIC- WHAT ELSE
That double lift is just magical
Amazing
Thanks.
Mind blown
i agree with u.
I collect decks too.
I just cant imagine myself destroying a card from an expesive deck.
I dont use a lot of my decks either, i just buy them for the look.
One of the coolest dudes to ever live
That sly move at 6:05 is next level

not one phone camera in the visible audience, beautiful stuff
12 years ago phone cameras were just becoming a thing.
And they were not really that good.

Man sees in the 4th dimension
wow these are one of my fav tricks =)
It's amazing to watch when David tricks highly intelligent people.
That was very nice to watch. With all of the big publicity stunts that these guys have to do to keep peoples attention its nice to see some good solid magic.
Lucky.
Them and Dai Vernon are teh bestzawa.

I an agree with that...
Now it's obvious why he hasn't come out with a teaching DVD... Even L&L can't support such wizardry
The first time i've seen Blaine actually perform with confidence and humour. Great stuff
Perfectly done ᵔᴥᵔ ★★★★★
Katalyzt
Does any one know the name of that switching technique DB uses at 1:44?
omfg
he ripped a card from the master deck
i weep for that card
quality!! i want to meet the guy
hilly1966 so after 11 years do u meet him?
La .٩٠ I have actually, briefly after his show in London. I told him I loved him and he walked away from me 😂
Simon Hill lol ya he is savage af
5:31 a piece fell to the ground
theres different cards
a master deck differs from a slit-spade, which differs from a regular bicle deck.
split-spade is the deck david made.
3:46 Can anyone please tell me what kind of force David was using? God of DB also in forcing. Actually every moves. Lol
my bad its the split spade deck
its a dollar cheaper
but i continue to weep nonetheless
@pinoyampy151 the hard as F**k switch. i couldn't even get the damn cards to land on the pack lol
Damn camera shoot!
magic makes people kids again
He execute it silky smoothh
Hi come visit philladelphia come see you and Jimmy wright
i understand most of this trick relays on speed , but how do u change number of cards like 6 to 9 , can some1 plz tell me
watch it here czcams.com/video/QsL0hqwLe38/video.html
Now you know.
@Mengster13 Ermmm. Cheating. Remember that shoddy death dive? It was hilarious.
thats true, but even if there was to be a gimmick once in a blue moon, he has the skill to make the audience so shocked that clean ups can be made in the blink of an eye
What's that color change he does that flips the card over as he drops???
i dont know..but i do and it works..i practice and it's works
Maybe..i think this colour chage so awesome.
Yeah that's really hard but if you practice everyday you will got.
you are wrong, there are a lot of amazing magicians.
bro even after he explains it I still don’t get it 😭
how did he do this....
I never heard of the Blaine/Angel incident, thats very unfortunate!
I actually get quite a number of gigs because someone saw Criss on TV! The laymen really adore everything he does and many laymen consider him to be the greatest ever.
You have to respect the positive impact Criss has had on the general public. They really love him.
the more you know
is that shin lim
David Blaine is great, but what is Rubenstein?
what is the name of the colour change he does at 1:42 with the four and the ace?
Seeing 12 years old comments is surreal
It seems like he's got a lot more personality in real life than on his specials. I prefer this persona, I must say.
3:07 you can see him draw a different card from his deck
amazing how he makes her choose that card
@1pokerknight Me either xD
2:04 trick by the way you can't do that using old deck of cards it must be a brand new deck of cards.
2:24 did someone just climax???
anyone know how he shoots the cards from hand to hand? realllyyy cool
Years of practice mate his..oh wait ur comment is 10 years old holy moly
A decade comments and just one person reply to it, I hope you find who can shot the card hand to hand 😆
Its the Duck change!
E.T.
practice double lift very well u can do many tricks
Funny, the world actually was going into a decade long hibernation at that stage
No your wrong! David Blaine has the highest ratted TV Magic Specials of all time ever period. He is VERY technically sound. Remember at the time he first appeared on TV NOBODY IN THE WORLD WAS DOING ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON TV!
is he doing double lifting when he shows king of diamonds at 3:00 ?
What's the name of the move he does at 5:15
+Cory Hall Shake change
Not sure but he switched the ripped card with an unripped same card.
watch it here czcams.com/video/QsL0hqwLe38/video.html
the biggest question is,how did David force the girl to pick the six of hearts
Tan Hoang you answered your own qurstion...He forced her.
A classic response
S I M P L E
awkward SiLence
Its the only DL i ever use. See some of my vidz I do it, and yes its hard as shit!
which double lift is that?
your videos are unbearable to watch. you don't disguise your hidden movements very well at all, the music is god awful, and wipe that stupid smile off your face please.
whole lotta double liftin goin on eh?
I can do the one at 3:10
looks like his younger version of bradley cooper…
The way Criss Angel fooled everyone as David Blaine was amazing!
well he didn't explain a shit lol
2 ace of hearts then do a quick change by double lifting the 4 of hearts and ace of hearts below it. Still leaving the 1st ace of hearts in the middle
2:44 "btw, right now the world is shutting down, like all the newspapers ..."
Can someone tell me what he was talking about?
I might be wrong but 11+ years ago would've been during the 2008 recession which was probably why everything was shutting down
There are plenty of magicians that will do tricks around David Blaine.
Criss is really good, I don't understand all the hate he gets. He HAS done a lot for magic!
Ok
Gotta clap for a good trick! Even if i know how its done.
So all this is fake or what because for years I never seen a flaw in how to do it?
No he doesn't Criss Angels sign is kinda generic.

Man.
David takes Impromptu to a new level!
And even when you know these tricks they aren't easy.
It takes years. (Me being an illusionist)
Dan and Dave Buck are a bit over-hyped.
They are best at flourishes yes, but tricks?
And Cyril, he's the best at hiding gaffs and gimmicks. But David uses a normal deck to do this.
He really is the best, for now ;)
