  • Magician David Blaine in a guest spot on 'So Graham Norton' from 17th July 1998. In the 1990s the TV magic being produced in the USA had become tired and dated. 'The World's Greatest Magic' series (1994-1998) did feature some excellent performers, but most were better suited to live work - on television the glossy 'bigger is better' production swamped the acts - there was little for the audience to relate to. Magic needs time and space to breath; for it to make a proper connection with its audience. Then along came a dude. A magic dude. David Blaine. He was laid-back, low key, understated. The antithesis of what had gone before. He really understood magic and stripped it back to its essence. And magic changed forever. Duncan Trillo/MagicWeek.

    Magic is not so much a puzzle to be solved but a mystery to be experienced. Great magic doesn't strive to fool you so that you believe in something, great magic reminds you to be careful in what you believe in...

      It's because he makes it so that this card is the longest, last and clearest visible so that your brain automatically draws to it. That's why he turns around the first card and doesn't show the last.

    6:21 I noticed for this trick he always goes with the last card you see. Because that’s the one that sticks out the most. Because it’s freshest in your mind. It’s a psychology trick I think. Everyone 100% of the time will go with the last card they see. Or they only card they see. (At the very end)

    • @johnorona99
      @johnorona99 Před 3 lety +4

      He actually shows that card longer than the others, which is why people see and remember it. He does the trick with the forced card in the middle sometimes - if the top edge card you want to force is slightly lower than the rest it creates a slight break when he fans his finger through

    • @phillipkorn9146
      @phillipkorn9146 Před 3 lety

    • @rypaz87
      @rypaz87 Před 3 lety +1

      I think the success of the trick requires it to be the last card seen, but that might not be enough. In this version he dwelled super long on the last card compared to the rest so it's not only the last card seen, but also the one you see for the longest duration (and multiple times). In 1997 he did a slightly different version on the Conan Obrian show. As his last trick, he turned to Andy Richter and flipped the deck the same way and Andy ultimately selected the very last card, the Ace of diamonds. The difference is that David didn't dwell on it very long at all this time. Instead he chose to re-use a card from an earlier trick that Andy had signed and was watching closely over a series of 3 or 4 consecutive tricks. So for a couple of minutes Andy had been interfacing with that one card, so you can say David was burning it into his memory for later use. Lastly, you'll notice that David doesn't use all of the 52 cards for this trick. By showing less cards, you're simply less likely to be distracted by cards other than the one he's intending to have stick in your brain. So it seems there are a handful of elements, both psychological and statistical, that all together promote its success.

    • @Sanctifiers
      @Sanctifiers Před 3 lety +1

      yes but it's also that he paused longer on that one too, just a fraction of a second, so that was the one you see. It's a risky one because you CAN see others, but the odds are you'll pick the one he wants you to.

      It's actually quite an amateur trick. I couldn't do it because it requires expert precision, but it's considered a simpler trick. he paused longer on that card, just a fraction of a second, so that was the one you see longest and it was the last one you see. It's a risky one because you CAN see others, but the odds are you'll pick the one he wants you to. It's essentially a force, with top tier timing and precision.

    He is a phenomenal talent and have enjoyed so much of his tricks I forget about the world and am absorbed in his remarkable feats with cards and other tricks... except I am concerned about his health with some of the physical endurance feats he has performed. I suddenly thought... but not so easy it could happen... for one person in the audience to come secretly prepared maybe hoping David might do his 9 of spades trick, then right after the cards rain down on the audience to bring one other card, (only it would have to be of a matching design on the front of David's set) so a card different than any other card than the 9 of spades, then rise up and shout, holding their card high and saying, " Look at me! I saw the queen of diamonds, look everyone!" Then all see the queen of diamonds and be even more amazed and leave David amazed too... yet probably not a trick unless the trickster knows the design detail on David's particular set of cards... only I wonder if he buys cards from a magic supply company and the design is not all that uncommon. His cards look of a fairly common design. At least everyone would get a good laugh for an instant.

    5:42 There you can see clearly how David distorts time and space. Easy trick.

    Damn, I’ve never seen him flash on the snap change before. I blame the camera man. David’s gotten better over the years which is hard to believe.

    Weird, even I called the 9, must be the way he does it fast then stops on a card for a half second longer.

      correct, most are too fast too see except the one that is meant to be seen

      @@ProAtCrastination there's something called the attentional blink which suggests that in the moment you catch the card, the stimuli after (other cards) are briefly invisible

    • @o6eron
      @o6eron Před 4 lety +1

      the card before the forced card is a little bit shorter so you see the 9 a tiny bit longer. that's why you remember it 90% of the time

      If you are seeing the trick for the first time he will always get you. When you are in the moment is so different.

    • @ethancollins5884
      @ethancollins5884 Před 7 lety +1

      Irishfox it's because the 9 of spades is the only black card in the deck and the one in front of it is cut slightly shorter, it's a mind trick

    • @adamo36532

      It's not the only black one he just leaves it in view longer than the others and at the end.
