Sagar bhai casually putting someone's set on KZbin 😂

[@shamsaddinamanov3879]

probably no one outside of the chess world will watch this :D so it is not that harmful for his career.

[@Bismarck-S]

Ey, I don't complain this was interesting as heck.

[@HarsH_1718]

The hall is literally filled with ton of cameras, so I guess the magician didn't mind posting his set.

8:34 Hikaru explaining the trick to Fabi 😂

Naka: Takes, takes, and then takes takes, Rg4, Qc8 and then it's just mate Fabi: come on...

[@mr.donkenny]

Explaining pawn trick: Keep a keen eye on the video starting from 03:20. You'll notice that he releases all the white pieces but holds the black one in his hand until the end, when he finally drops it, and she picks it up. He was aware that she had the black piece, so he performs this subtle act before revealing the black pawn.

[@Lol-qy1dy]

But when they put hand inside to get the piece,they could know how pieces inside bag right ?

[@mr.donkenny]

@@Lol-qy1dy You're right. The first and second individuals each have multiple pieces and are unaware. However, the third person will end up with only one piece. So, the mentalist poked (03:48) the cover from below to imitate a piece, taking advantage of the small size, making it easy to mistake it for a finger. Additionally, he positioned his hand at the bottom to muffle the sound when dropping the piece from the right hand.

[@pegissusforstudy]

you are right that's why he was able to guess first 2 player very quick ..

[@entertainingvideos1351]

We found the guy who explains every magic trick at parties.

[@vtgcolllectibles]

wouldn't the 2nd to last person know cause he could only feel one piece in the bag then?

[@B68122]

It is all about that woman / accomplice. He didn't drop the queen piece in the bag but held it with his fingers in the bag so that others would only pick white.

[@QuickPlayShowcase]

Didn't know homelander did magic

11:01 Loved it

[@dr.deepakgore1079]

Awesome opening ceremony and relay, thanks Sagar bhai🎉❤

[@yakultpilo6716]

3:02: He asked her to stand in the corner. It was a setup to give the Black piece to the lady 3:27: He did not put the black piece in the bag. He will put it inside just after the third man picks white. I think that woman was a paid artist. Regarding the first part of picking people, He would have kept doing the left hand right hand juggling until only four people would be left including the woman

[@shreyanshumalviya]

Yeah.. wasn't very hard to decipher..😂

[@BattleslashX]

Either that or he picked up the envelope at 14:39, but that doesn't explain how he got the birthday

[@Ultimatemaster_026]

also it could be since black was queen he could touch the bag to feel it , the shape of the pieces

[@KevinVinke-hs6re]

Yes. I've noticed at the start when she was taking the bag, her body language was saying she noticed smt weird and "naughty" in a way... it feels more like she was being manipulated into it and the other guys just actors

[@dsamurai4725]

@@KevinVinke-hs6re I think the old man notices that theres only one piece in the bag (3:48) you can see it on his smile, he already got the trick. He stares at the crowd like "ah ok nice trick" and smiles

[@unknown_d-ew5uz]

wait did he find out anand's name on that note?............i think he just found justin and beyonce

[@mohansharma651]

Timestamp plss

[@documentaryindonesia]

he can not read wether anand is celebrities or not

[@shadyshyguy4058]

I think he did not find out any of the notes. I think how the trick works is the woman is a accomplice of the magicaian since the begining. And how the trick works is they actually don't show the notes to the audiance. The key is they put down a note without saying anything and then they can say anything they have planned for the rest of the notes because all the other participants are going to think their card was not read because their card was the put down card.

[@abkibaar200paar5]

Yea i saw that. But htf did he know JUNE 4TH?

[@steelsteez6118]

You're too slow my friend. He knew way before that. Trick revealed at 10:52 (when he asks for her card) and 11:14 where he takes the peek . The audience is 20 steps behind by the time he's "trying to guess the name". The whole writing celebrity names on a piece of paper part is used to put everyone's mind on aupilot while he sneakily collects her card and peeks at it. Great mind tricks.

[@vishalbhati8974]

he knew which piece where were when each person took one out of bag. he felt the shift in weight of the bag. ez.

[@betterthanyou3465]

Howd he do the last trivk huh

[@happyrabbit7944]

he just put something like a radio translator to each pawn so according to some mark like vibrating on his radio receiver he can probably call the color so Hans just do the same thing holding his radio reciever just not in his jacket but somewhere else and everybody know where is...

[@davidgatheral792]

No - he used an anal vibrator....

[@vzemmanuel]

The pawn trick explained: It was the significant difference in weight of the pieces. That’s why he uses a feather light paper bag. As each piece is taken out he can gauge when the heavy queen is taken. This weight difference can easily be detected with a little practice. He needed to make it a black pawn to be impressive at all.

[@OK_DevOps]

Damn, even I was thinking anand.

Then how did he know his birthday??

[@lethallohn]

@@samwrihiro Idk if it makes a difference, but he asked for her name and her mother's maiden name.

[@Drag0nvil]

I don't think so. I don't think he put her card back before 16:33. Rather he swapped cards. First celeb he specially asks for say yes or no, and then is it a male, is it a musician. He did this to check or the current celeb was Justin Bieber, which he inserted whilst holding onto her card. After he knew he was in the clear, he could ask her to start naming the other celebs.

[@MrFruxion]

He places her at the very left 3:07, because he wants to give her the black piece, and stay for the final. She has the ID on her, he got then full information on her. 18:00 "Thank you David"

[@shardulsilswal1140]

Justice for Vivek Desai

[@wrongin8992]

He planted her there, she didnt have to follow the sit down instruction, the next thing is pretty simple, fill the bag with all white pawns, and she brings her own black pawn, she also brings her own cards, so the audiences cards were thrown away, which is why u get basic celebs like "beyonce" or "justin bieber", and anand is not mentioned at all
