The last trick is so impressive because its essentially the same trick of sleight of hand double lift but he is so smooth and clean with it that he can do it to the same group in 4 different ways finishing it off with the card bending up to seal the deal. What a masterclass.
@@bretr7327 My guess is the camera man, but knowing Blaine its something more complicated. Dad on the other side of the table probably put the card in the jeans 6 hours ago.
@@scumbaag Nah, dude, the card was placed into the back pocket of those jeans when the jeans were manufactured. The trick was finding the family years later.
His routine is still the smoothest and my preferred routine. I used to love this show when I was little, I would record David on VHS then play his tricks in slow motion and figure out how he did them then teach myself. I still love David Blaine
I love how people all talk about how its done. Yes there is no secret to how these card tricks are done. Just like you know how a pilot flies a plane. The art is the ability to perform the techniques needed to make the trick look so easy and magical. That takes years of practice to perform it at Davids level.
Of course there are secrets to it you dummy. That doesn't mean NOBODY ELSE ON EARTH is privy to those secrets. But they are secrets by definition. Execution is only part of it.
The bend really sells it. I love watching this old video from time to time. It is a part of magic history...and part of the origin story of many young magicians who have grown up to amaze and entertain so many people!
TotalExcessGaming yeah that fruit loops guy was pretty invasive on the trick so david had to stop him and make up something like "that's the move" so he wouldn't pick him the top card. But yeah, he has the smoothest double lift.
How do you think it compares to Jason England? It’s a simple turnover but he adds a flourishy convincer similar time the spooky Altman trap that really looks great. I encourage you to check it out. It can be found in the trailer for the tutorial on CZcams. Try Jason England double lift.
Look, we all know magic isn't real. The tricks all have some method to them; However, it requires extreme sleight of hand skills to perform at the level of David Blaine. That's why he's the best "magician" I've ever seen.
That's pretty ignorant but I see what you mean. The magic doesn't always have to be in the trick. It can be between the people and the atmosphere. The situation is magical and it's meant to be.
I am from India. Imyself am a three card monte player and i believe I am tough in it. But seeing David performance I understood I Amnothing. Hats of David.
i love david's facial expressions when he does the final part of a trick. He just stares into the volunteer's eyes and is like ''WTF JUST HAPPENED" LOL. good entertainment :D!!!!!!
@@MauiWowieOwie Lol idk how the quarter is just a simple sleight of hand move, but the last one you have no idea... the last trick, he's double lifting cards off the top every time he is supposedly putting the card inside the deck. When he flips the card over at any point, he's flipping 2 cards, the signature card is 2nd from the top. So then when he puts the random top card in the deck, the signed card is still on top. He's just very very good at doing it
@HailHorns666 the froot loops one is acctuall really easy... all you have to do is when they are looking at their card... hold a pinky break (bigger than usuall) under the top card and slide their card in under the top card but since the top card is now slanted upwards you are making the illusion that their card is sliding into the middle of the deck.. then do a double lift and pick up their card and the top card... then (since you are holding 2 cards) slide the top card into the middle
fucking flawless double lift. the thing about magic that's amazing is that even though i know how he does every single card trick with fruit loops I still watch with awe. It's about the performance.
@@christophercolumbus8944 they're not actors lol. these tricks are all done perfectly by blaine. even though I know how they are all done it is still amazing because blaine is so good at it
@@Hydra453 because it's TV because he is a fake because he is a magician and he manipulates you watch Penn and teller ? do you know how they manipulate ? don't believe what you see on tv bro
2. when he pushes the card forward, he drops a card on top of his, so the card that goes into the second half of the deck is an indifferent one, and his stays on top 3. last one is a double lift and he bends two cards...the indifferent one he puts in the middle, leaving his card on top which he simply releases to create the illusion of it jumping to the top
Well that's the most important thing for magician. The magician controls the show but you want to make the audience THINK they're in control when they're not.
I remember as a kid I was astonished by his ambitious card routine, (I didn’t know that’s what it was called then) I remember thinking that everything looked clean and thinking that it was absolutely impossible. I used to say to myself I can’t see him taking any cards out and putting it on top! Now I now how he does every move and sometimes perform it myself but it’s still enjoyable to see
@@nebulousnomad Most (not all) of his tricks rely on lifting two cards at once and making it seem like he is lifting one. It's called a double lift. For example on the trick with the grandmas, he had her sign a card, placed it in between two club cards (forgot the number). He double lifts showing her card, places it back, then gives her the top card which is a club. Now the card order is her card and another copy of the clubs card. He then double lifts again showing the club card, and then does a hand trick switching the two cards in a smooth and fast manner to give the jump effect, and shows her card. Then once she turns over her card it'll be a club.
You can see how he does the last tricks to the gang if you pay attention and think without looking it up, but his consistency to do it so seamlessly is world class
The last trick he did, he bended 2 cards and then put the fruity loops one on top of the deck really fast and the second bended card in the middle of the deck. He has very good sleight of hand skills its amazing.
@@jimmies damn didn’t see the 7 years ago but everyone wonders how to do the magic, not knowing how is what makes it special i did magic for like 4 years and it’s def a polite practice to not just explain peoples tricks even if they aren’t the most complicated
All these years later and I finally realized this was staged. Blaine sat down waaaay to quick in that chair next to the blonde woman for somebody that was just walking up. Rookie mistake. Blaine is way smoother these days with his timing.
For the second trick with the old ladies, he had 2 four of clubs, he made the lady put the card ( four of clubs in a sandwich position so nobody could see it was the double, he did a freaking boss double lift, a flick which made it turn around revealing the card that was the 3. Fantastic trick.
Guys, it's static state camera editing. The people are all in on it. They film it in two parts and splice it in the middle so it looks seamless. A card can't jump to a back pocket. Matter cannot teleport in space. Even lightwaves cannot do this.
I remember seeing this on HBO when I was 5 or 6 back in 2000 I never forgot the quarter trick my dad noticed I liked them and learned a couple so he can see me bug out I'll always love my dad for that.. I can't even hold on to a quarter let alone learn magic tricks ha
told my wife this when i went to see a magician recently with my kids. I know its all tricks and i know how many are done but i try and not think much about it and instead just enjoy the show. She wanted so badly to figure it out how did they do it i just let her speculate on it as much as she wanted but myself i just enjoy the spectacle.
Luckily I watched a video not long ago on how to do the double lift where you take two cards off the top at the same time and he showed how David does it by pivoting the card and I recognized it in the video, so it explains the card tricks very well

He reminds me of Napolean Dynamite
I think he was scared
I think he was a bit shocked and freaked out at the same time, which produced his speechless response.

Wonder what fruit loops is doing with his life at this current moment
He will be missed RIP fruit loops
