This is the first time ever seeing a video/recording of my great uncle. I always heard stories of him growing up as a kid.

Can't stand David Blaine He's overrated as a magician he even takes people's ideas!!!

Not even a single line made me cringe. I can't say that about most magicians.

Derek was the VERY BEST live performer you’d ever see. Great, funny personality, crowds Loved him. Armchair amateurs always easy to criticize in this digital age of closeups on the performers hands. This was a clip of a teaching video. 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

Goddamn! Jimmy's coin through the table may be the cleanest I've ever seen.I thought Slydini's was awesome but damn Jimmy.

During WW2, the US Army hired John Scarne to tour military bases and show GI's how NOT to be cheated. My Dad met him at one such tour. Scarne could shuffle the deck and deal himself (or anyone else) four aces or four kings, then shuffle the deck and deal himself blackjack, at will. His motto was "If I can do it, so can anyone else, and you'd never know it. So don't play cards, and you won't be cheated." I've read a few of his books. John Scarne was a great magician, and a great man.

Iconic

It's horrible when a magician kerps saying " watch "

he is so uncomfortably un funny.....if he would cut out the stupid talk. ..and just do the magic......wow....

Larry jennings the great

Quick Fact: Minimilists call this show where Blaine was interviewed on this video the most expensive and overly pretentious studio they have ever seen. Many minilists have been hospitalized due to the flipped over painted pallet table and dark background on this set. Lets pray for the injured.

HAHAHAHA. The pass should be silent and INVISIBLE. This clown is horrible. Dingleberry more like it.

A PHD in applied psychology

That was the most amazing display of slight of hand I've ever seen. So good and so much fun. A class act.

Have a safe in Christ a happy fourth of July weekend fun and your whole family tree and friends God Bless

Even without pre-show work, just tossing out letters and numbers at random to a crowd that large will result in a lot of hits, especially if people can respond with, 'That's my daughter.'. Getting house numbers correct by random is pretty lucky. He is or was a good showman. I think that is all he ever claimed to be. Work fast, lots of patter, move on quickly if something does not hit and people will remember the relatively few successes.

AMAZING pass and F-ing PHENOMENAL toss change!!!! (Seriously, I’ve NEVER seen that move done so fast and so smooth!).

"Promo SM"

niceeeee hahahaaaa

Cool!

pre-show work & the rest is . . . Kreskin the nervous wreck

The Prince of Palming who is always one step ahead - 🧞‍♀️

Cool be safe in Christ God Bless everyone

I saw John Scarne in person.. He was a friend of my dad's. He did tricks for me at a table in my dad's restaurant in Union City. My dad, Larry Klunck, accompanied him to London and Curacao check casinos there. The Hilton in London... He came to my dad's wake..

Thanks for this video, he was my great uncle and my dad became a magician following in his footsteps. This is a familial treasure <3

No sound

There’s no sound 😢

I didn't know that there was footage of Scarne. This is the guy who invented card magic.

useless table

"I don't even want to touch it.", he says while touching it. I love boldness

Probably one of the Flora and Company tapes. I don't think Docc was properly paid for most of those.

Worst syrup ever!

It was John Scarne's hands doing the false cuts and double dealing in the movie The Sting, not Paul Newman.

malone, daniels, williamson, maven, blaine, harris & kalush all in the same room. Wonder who else was there?

What event was this at?

Charlie Miller true magician

Love this video thanks for sharing 🪙😃❤️🎬🇺🇸

I know the trick is similar or maybe even the same as Slydini's but allowing Merv to hold his wrist gives it a GREAT presentation.This classic magic is still breathtaking.

My grandpa was awesome

Ahhh… 1992. Life was big and video ratios were small! 😹😹

I like girls! Lol 😆 🤣 😂

2:14 promemoria

Lord. I could just sit with this guy for hours. Fantastic.

One of the great pioneers of card magic!

Teeko👍

My Dear Jimmy.. Rip my dear friend… I will never ever forget you 😢🙏🏻❤️

Jimmy was a friend of mine I was getting nostalgic and came to You Tube.. I miss my friend Jimmy 😢❤️🙏🏻

The Netflix movie Croupier’s main character picks up a copy of Scarne on Cards at the bookstore. It’s one of the best casino movies after of course Casino

Don't love you no more sorry,you fully destroyed my mind for dumpty trumpty
