[@beastlydookie81]

My nigga bob ross paintin up a storm i the background

[@killafornia9943]

Speedy act diffrent when he not doing complex news lol

[@Fuegolino]

Kalifornia how?

[@Fez_Co97]

Bro Oz was looking at the piece of paper 2:18 come on guys!!! hahahaha

[@rtotheizzle]

It's already folded so he can't see whats written on it.

[@ciledug]

but how did he guess the code tho?

[@patelokam8987]

Yeah i see him looking at it.. hahah you’re a genius .. im glad to know all this is just am act.. i was slowly believing that it was all real

[@AR42499]

@@ciledug look at 0:32. he peeped the code lol

[@screwey3w69]

Speedy still rockin his and1 endorsement 😂

[@Dominicanamente]

That "I can be cool and black too" fail @0:32 was epic

[@jakeklare4333]

FAT ass L to u sir

[@AR42499]

that's funny cause that's right where he saw his unlock code too

[@migu3li]

speedy's gasp at 4:22 had me dying

[@perspicaciouscritic]

For an office job, seems like a cool place to work.

[@BrotherNero777]

true, i have to experience working there

[@ndtubedude15]

Why does speedy have the iPhone 5 dinosaur edition

[@tshabalallalalla1155]

cause he aint a hype beast like u

[@ndtubedude15]

😂😂 Good try at least

[@jamirwilliams6079]

Ever think it may be an SE?

[@Choppzilla667]

I Think The Dennis Rodman trick blew it .. he said his name wrong at first

[@jwill294]

What about that blows it tho lol? Dennis Robinson isn’t a real dude, that’s just him misspeaking

[@RGZSoCal]

So speedy never got that NBA contract I was waiting on that video or seeing him on the bench for the sixers or something 😪

[@bryanciacco4181]

This was Sean Evans before he started HotOnes

[@frostyxans99]

who tf is dennis robinson

[@platano214]

I'm just here waiting for someone to say that Mentalists get their abilities from demons like magicians do.

[@neilwiththedeal]

Easy ear piece trick. Cameraman sees Rodman on the computer screen and candidly whispers it, Oz either mishears the cue as Robinson or the cameraman accidentally said it, Oz corrects mistake as he turns around and sees it’s Dennis Rodman

[@AQW109]

Why is a video of bob ross playing in the background

[@invicaa]

Lol

[@mrksiy]

because bob ross is soothing, it's like therapy.

[@trubsworth]

black people have the best reaction to magic

[@acersin2]

Do more of these!!!

[@roocho02]

I know how he got the name right... most ppl will write the name in the middle of the paper.when its folded its still in the middle of the paper and hes ripping around the sides, keeping the name intact. so if you look closely he pretends to look away as he does it, but at 2:18 he looks at it right before he gives it to sean. Now for the rest of his tricks i have no fucking idea.

[@rich1051414]

The 'touch transfer' is an old trick and I will reveal it in a comment to myself if you are curious, so the mystery can remain for those who don't want to know.

[@rich1051414]

He brushed the guy on the right's nose when he was pretending to 'transfer' consciousness, but he couldn't respond until after he rubbed the napkin on the other guys's nose. Now you know.

[@harveyrc96]

"Broo" - Speedy, 2016

[@YoungBlaze]

i thought the guy in the thumbnail was before gang affliation chris brown

[@LxgalizeYT]

I might be late on this but I haven’t seen explanations for some. The nose tickle one is pretty easy 3:49 4:09 Oz asks the important setup question. Up to this point Chris hasn’t felt anything yet so truthfully answers no. 4:13 Oz rubs a piece of loose string/ loop on his nose that are between his two thumbs while he waves his hand over his face. He then elongates the question asking Chris to describe what he just felt. The sentence “We’re dying to know” immediately makes Chris recall to what he just felt meanwhile Oz quickly rubs lightly a piece of napkin on the other persons nose. The texture is important to make them both feel very light similar to a piece of string and vise versa to a piece of paper or napkin. Chris then answers truthfully but from an event that happened about ten seconds ago. Notice that Chris just answers “something on my nose” and then Oz pushes him towards the idea that it was a napkin. The others I have a pretty sure idea but they’re not as exciting when explained.

[@jwill294]

Woah is that the guy who played Captain America?

[@everton1michael]

she changed her again ooo dennis rodman

He is using magnets.

[@CobieCrypto]

Can speedys phone even use thumbprint lol

[@Behzey2fly]

yo lmfao... speedy was like this nigga the devil lmao

[@PickleM1]

LOL BOB ROSS

[@pktank1]

Did he make emilys chest bigger?!

[@davidcruz8703]

If you look carefully when speedy was walking away you can see the guy with the beard standing, after that cut they go to the guy and he's sitting down acting like he doesn't know anything but in the first cut you can see him perfectly looking at Oz and speedy talking to each other, idk if this is made up crap or real ctfu

[@1789Bastille]

so he has some secret cameras set up somewhere before by somone other than him and someone speaking in his ear who is secretly monitoring this....and some cold reading talent. and his little helper didn't know Dennis Rodman for sure

[@BanksyMane]

Yup, this is exactly why he needs the person to write or type the name or word down every time

[@Griimmyyy]

I know this is two years old but are you fucking stupid?

[@nomore25]

1:03 and 1:04 are different placement of picture

[@utilizador11111]

1:03.. e says page 38.. and then 1:04 he shows again the page.. done.. didnt botther to see the rest.. :)

[@GOODWIFI]

woah bro

[@TheCheeseburrrger]

Did he say Dennis Robinson instead of Rodman?

[@jTacticsBeats]

yeah he misheard the person saying dennis rodman in his ear piece.

[@RedisNotaFlavor]

Dennis Robinson!? man.. FAKE!

[@goutamfuns]

[@Naseaann]

[@tusharbhat1506]

is his third eye open?

[@GamingStew]

dude looks like logic

[@FITLIVEX]

How much did he pay y'all to be on complex

[@giocek1880]

Why Bob Ross?

[@invaderfro310]

What happened to the comment section. Looks weird. I'm on mobile

[@martman123456]

My guesses. First trick: He forced the page he stopped on with the magazine, then knew the biggest word on the same page number in the book. Second trick: he didn't throw away the whole piece of paper with the name on it when he ripped it, then he snuck a peak at the name written on it. Third trick: when you blow on someone's nose when their eyes are closed, it's easy to convince them that you touched their nose. Fourth trick: Not sure, but one possibility is he could see the screen in a reflection in the glass, or he knew from going around the office that they were working on a Rodman piece.

[@bn_2112]

This would be way more convincing if the edit was smoother and the camera angle didn't change so much. Obviously fake.

[@AR42499]

L...

[@7400FMJ]

How do he do that shit first i thought it was fake but then i Google him up and he even went to America got Talent. complex or any one else tell me how tha fuck he dose that shit :-/

[@spderman123]

[@iyaramonk]

[@ImDougDimmadome]

[@1789Bastille]
