Being a card magician myself, I knew how a few of these worked, even Crazy Man’s Handcuffs, even though that’s with rubber bands. Does it mean I didn’t enjoy watching him? Of course not. Magic is only about 5-10% the secret. The rest is in the story and performance. For me, it’s enjoyable to see someone else’s routine on an effect (e.g. The Linking Rings or an Ambitious Card routine) and seeing new ways to do what is in essence the same performance. There are even some routines I’ve seen that, even knowing exactly what is going on, still fool me a little because the moves and slights are so smooth. I personally think knowing the secret can help someone appreciate the art of the performance more.

[@SamuelMoerbe]

Orion Pax I think this is articulated really well. Even with the “older” style of magic, it’s still so enjoyable to watch performers who have years of experience and performance. (BTW, the Crazy Man’s Handcuffs was so smooth! I definitely can’t do it that smooth lol).

I love spotting sleight of hand tricks. I saw how he did several of these, but the really impressive part to me is to be able to perform these 100% accurately almost 100% of the time. There's no room for error in these or else you give away the trick, and that's why I love these guys.

[@JonWayes]

Raccido Conversely, having an alternate ending should you mess up/be caught. Even better, having a back up to your alternate ending. I’ve done this numerous times. However, when someone feels “big”/“cool” for catching you out, play into their ego before performing your alternate ending and regaining control of the situation. Fun stuff 🙂

[@mydavegabicycle]

As Jon Wayes said, magicians sometimes screw up. The idea is to plan for contingencies. The spectator has no idea how the movie ends, so to speak, and those who are quick on their feet can quickly write a new one, or have an alternate ready. This is called an "out". The reality of performing for real people live is they're unpredictable. With that said, sometimes even better magic happens and gets invented because of quick thinking and if it was improvised, it's new to the performer too. Everyone wins in those moments. The trick there is the spectator has no idea that they just saw something brand new or not originally intended.

[@thesandwichartist9876]

Slight of hand tricks under the guise of card tricks.

[@abrampainter3764]

​@@teeroux imho card tricks that rely heavily on logic and mathematics can be interesting and thought-provoking, but dirtier performance-based tricks can result in more magical outcomes. Being a magician is about taking advantage of our limited human perception and attention to distort and elevate reality. The exact methods used aren't as important as the impact those methods have.

I really didnt expect to watch this til the end but it's mesmerizing. This guy is crazy talented.

[@blakegirouxphotography]

I love how these are simple tricks but his performance makes it so much better

[@cholericraven3434]

Hey wren... Do you believe in magic? In a young mans heart How the edits can free him whenever it starts And it's magic if the wrender is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old time movie I'll tell ya about the magic It'll give you direction but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout colour correction If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose If it's an indie film or the youtube blues Just go and see It'll start with a smile that goes a way for a while But comes back again when you fit export movie! Your fingers start tapping And you can't seem to find How you got there So just blow your mind If you believe in magic Come along with me We'll edit until morning, just you and me and maybe, if the effects aren't right I'll meet ya tomorrow so late at night We'll do some edits' baby then you'll see all the magic's in the moment of the new movie, yeah Do you belive in editing magic? Yeah. Believe in the edits in a young mans soul believe in the edits that make the video roll Ohhhh, talkin' bout edits Do you believe like I believe? Do you believe in edits?

magic should be done in front of DUMB people :D ... because Ignorance is a BLISS watch this video.. i did a reaction to ERIC chein .. check out his tricks ,,, completly mind blowing kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4XCdWmjYp6Ah5Y subscribe if you like :)

[@Voidelle]

Jake saw one of those reveals early but didn’t ruin it, what a gem!

[@dragonfiremalus]

Knowing how the tricks are done makes many of them even more impressive. I know what card moves he must have made for those tricks, but the fact that even watching for them I can't see him do them is a testament to his incredible skill.

[@nr_jason7245]

Rule #1 in debunking magic tricks: Never believe what the magician tells you

[@InfernalBanana]

Jason Rule #2: As soon as the magician says “let’s begin,” the trick is already done.

[@nuller87]

In the card-tricks, he's a very well trained slight of hand artist. You can always see they hand him back the card, then he talks casually, while very quickly changing them around. At 4:31 when he hands the card back, you can see he at 5:12 when he hands sam the supposed 5, he turns the deck in his hand, before giving it to him. He constantly have control over the cards, while talking to the audience, making them focus on what happened before, and not what happens right now.

[@AverageJoeGaming2013]

I actually think the 3 was always on the top, and he just did a double lift to reveal the 5 and after he flipped the 5 over, the trick was done, he just had to reveal it.

[@Arashi257]

Wren was ready for his mind to be blown, but it got disintegrated instead.

[@fhmi.zailan2923]

i always love Wrens genuine reactions to magics & tricks

[@7792pnaurfr]

As an adult, I am starting to appreciate magic more than when i was younger. Because as an older child, the wonder fades because you know there are "tricks". But now I appreciate the skill and practice it took, that's the skill of the magician. To be able to still follow logic and physics etc but having the skills to make it seem that the impossible happened.

[@vladimir_dev]

I love Wren's reactions... It's great to see how much of his inner child remains in him... I wish I was more like him :)

[@lolproductionsP]

A lot of new faces... Can we get a video showing EVERY corridor member?

[@jedidroid2000]

It will took them one entire video just to show us all the Peter clones they have made

[@RaketenKuhGewehr]

I think there's also some SL0 folks in the video.

[@CulturalToast]

4:09 this is actually a pretty easy trick once you know how its done. You can see that he really put the card in a random spot and shuffled it so it would get lost. However, he purposefully asked what card Sam picked at 5:32. Now as he stated at the beginning of the video, the power of mind/imagination is strong and he changed the card Sam was holding to the 3 of spades.

[@BeastCake1349]

Nobody asked. So what if you know how it’s done. Let everyone enjoy the magic without you spoiling it for them.

[@CulturalToast]

@@BeastCake1349 r/woooosh

[@sesamesprinkles]

I love the fact that him and other magicians choose to let the applause go towards the person involved with the trick.

[@konradschulz7567]

That rubberband trick with wren was incredible talent with slide of hand. It's so precise and quick, I love it.

[@UltromanTheTacoman]

9:05 "Try to picture that card in your mind." *SNAP* "The card is now in your brain."

[@gabiluch87]

The rubber band trick is so damn cool... my friend's brother-in-law is a magician and it's the first trick he showed me. SO DAMN COOL

[@KuRo88]

He's so right.. I'm in the process of learning a little bit of magic, and those tricks are mostly pretty basic. Still, I'm not able to perform them. Not like that at least. The presentation is really the hard thing about it all.. Most tricks are pretty easy to do if you know how. But not getting nervous and communication and playing with the audience is what makes it really really hard to do.. Just when someone does something I don't expect, I tend to get nervous as even tough the trick itself may not be that hard, you have to be able to do it without thinking. It's kinda fascinating and also fun to see the faces of people when you show tricks tough, kind of addictive.

[@priscillaquinn9505]

Id be impressed if a magician came along and did tricks quietly. Letting them focus on everything. Being so good he doesn't have to rely on distracting the people with over talking and everything.. that magician would start to make waves being the new era of magic

[@KuRo88]

@@priscillaquinn9505 there are quite a few magicians that are completely quiet. One of the best (ironically named Teller) actually never speaks or makes any sound at all when in his role. Shin Lim is another well-known magician who used to be completely quiet performing before getting popular with the general public. And many more.. But many magic tricks, especially close up and impromptu ones are hard to explain to the audience without talking - which makes it even harder and more impressive knowing some magicians can do that.

[@MasesGaming]

Wrens genuine child-like reactions to magic are exactly how I feel as well. Amazing episode and I'm only 6 years late.

[@liquidtna]

I love @9:30, they talking about kid's magic and most of these tricks were all basic magic tricks but his presentation was spot on!

[@brandonwei7897]

Brian to Jake: " Do you like magic?" Jake: "only if it's the magic from the sponsor of our latest video..."

[@jacobcgustafson]

I'm looking for the switch at 5:10, this is insane

[@thedopepope]

The only explanation I can think of is he has the 2 cards in his hand at 5:10 (the 5 and Sams card) and drops the 5 when he taps it onto the top of the deck briefly before he hands Sam his original card back.

[@TheSerbianEmperor]

It's not a switch, it's a different technique, but I'm not going to spoil it to you unless you really want me to.

[@Ntek46]

It's a double lift, he didn't switch it, he just turned it over. :)

[@foxahfelly]

Hint it was the second from the top

[@Ken-Hung]

i can explain if you REALLY want to know

[@XeXDragon]

Although I know some of the tricks they still look soooo well done. He's right, 95% is all about performance

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

The faces of VFX artists, including Wren, have never looked older until now, LOL... 😂😂😂

[@Jaysin412]

You guys make magic all the time, but it was a real treat watching you all light up for real magic. Lol

[@swedneck]

This guy has some sick ass finger speed, i cannot for the life of me see where he changes fingers for the rubber band trick

[@MauranKilom]

I found it pretty easy to spot/figure out when replaying the video in both cases, but it's certainly way too fast to notice on the first try (mainly because you can easily narrow it down both backward and forward when replaying).

[@swedneck]

***** i genuinely can't see the moment the rubber band switches fingers, i know exactly when it is but i cannot for the life of me see the bands moving.

[@Elias110194]

The funny thing is, we know how he do it, but yet we can't see it. That's when you know the guy is good

[@cmdrblahdee]

I watched it in slow motion.... it's hilarious to watch and still not see what's going on entirely. You can clearly see when the band changes sides (earlier than when the 'magic' is supposed to happen), but how the heck does it hop back onto his finger?

[@floridmonkey2723]

I saw it the second time that he did it without pausing the video. I paused it to make sure and I was right. :)

[@jordandodson1991]

7:05 watch closely. you can see when it happens. The last time he pulls back, he lets the band go of one finger, then catches it again. Very fast.

[@MoonSafariFilms]

He timed it right after that joke so the audience was distracted. Very clever.

[@CurrieYT]

Magic is actually fucking dope...

[@clappenguin4694]

no, you've commented on too many video

[@generalwolfen2253]

Magic isnt real lol fucking idiot

[@lakshanchinthaka4284]

So I know all the sleights that he used on you. But the biggest difference between he and me is his performance. Because as he said, performance is magic. So his performance and presentation is amaizing and magical. So lot of heat on him while he is performing. Around 20 people burning his hands all the time. But he handled it very swiftly. Appreciate that. Nice work

[@ShadowDemon_4]

I use to practice magic tricks and showed them to my friends and teachers at school. Some of the tricks he did are the ones I use to do. I stopped practicing eventually but I do still love to watch magicians perform even if I know how many are done.
