Doing Your Weird Magic Trick Ideas: Pokémon Magic

BUY TICKETS TO MY SHOW: parlourofdeceptions.com ONLINE COURSE ON CARD MAGIC: cardmagic101.com PRIVATE EVENTS AND LESSONS: danielroymagic.com/booking SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER: danielroymagic.com/newsletter CREDITS: - Huge thanks to people in the comments for suggesting these great video ideas! - The transformation of a deck of bee cards into a deck of Pokemon cards makes use of ideas and techniques from Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser and George Pughe. - The disappearance and reappearance of Pikachu inside the Pokéball makes use of methods from Tenkai and Juan Pablo Ibañez. While I’m using a different method, the overall structure comes from Tommy Wonder’s “The Card in the Ringbox” from Volume 1 of The Books of Wonder. My handling was inspired by the work of Yann Frisch. Watch him do some truly amazing magic here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKqThWBrasmlq5Y. - The pack opening trick uses a technique invented by Adrian Plate. It is described in New Era Card Tricks by August Roterberg, The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase, and The Annotated Erdnase by Darwin Ortiz. - The Eevee evolution trick is conceptually similar to Ricky Jay’s “Castle Opener” routine, a performance of which can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5LIkqlpnLufd68. The production sequence uses techniques and ideas from S.W. Erdnase, Houdini, Michael Vincent, Lennart Green, Herb Zarrow, Ed Marlo, Carmen D’Amico, and Darwin Ortiz.

@@DanielRoyMagic is there a way I could learn the trick at the end?

[@DanielRoyMagic]

@@giancarlovillaverde8576 There's a lot of advanced sleight of hand going on in the final trick. If you want to learn stuff like that, sign up to my online course (starts from the basics and gets more advanced as you go) or contact me on my website about private lessons.

[@craigmackssj3680]

lol at 6 min I hit the like button love your videos keep it up!!!

[@ASwallie65]

Well you did Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, now you have to do magic with... Magic... The Gathering.

[@Mish844]

and fold and rip that black lotus card

[@devinhuffman3747]

Don’t forget flesh and blood😂

[@sunayama4650]

The real magic trick was avoiding the entire Pokemon franchise for 20+ years

[@DanielRoyMagic]

lmao this is actually true

[@xtimes3952]

ikr

[@jeremiatarigan1099]

Seriously, you deserve more views and likes. Most people nowadays overlook the beautiful art of sleight of hand magic. I would love to see this channel grow bigger in the future. I hope things will get better soon so you can regularly perform on stage again. I think Vegas appreciate you more.

[@PattyManatty]

When someone is doing magic with raw sleight of hand, people brush it off with "oh he's just really good at handling cards" as if that should take away from the trick. This guy is an absolute wizard with his card handling. In some sense he isn't even doing "tricks".

[@NightFuryBTW]

pokemon: gotta catch'em all daniel: gotta fool'em all he was successful in fooling us.

[@DarkBearDojo]

I’m a competitive Pokémon card game player and aside from a few name mispronunciation, you did a really great job show casing the cards! I really appreciate you spreading such positivity about one of my biggest passions!

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Glad you enjoyed! I put a lot of effort into this one haha

[@kotoasty]

The tricks were awesome, but what really impressed me was the work that went in to making this video. You researched a topic you knew nothing about, spent a bunch of money on it, and became acquainted with every aspect of it? That’s the kind of dedication you love to see

[@abtinmoazami2211]

0:20 that was the greatest and smoothest deck switches I've ever seen in my life

[@David-gj9qr]

I like that he did some research on pokemon before doing this video so that this video can be appealing to magic fans as well as pokemon TCG fans

[@luv-lost]

I was happy also. That's why I posted to tell him some snobs would hate the he ripped the Pikachu. But when I looked at it harder, I am pretty sure he even took the time to get a pepro or filler card. Also his slights are so cool I don't mind if he did make a Gaff out of a $6.00 card.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

@@luv-lost i found some really cheap pikachu cards on ebay for like $2 a piece. Bought a lot of them to practice that part of the video over and over

[@bobbym1799]

@@DanielRoyMagicI'm already sub and a big fan I need to support more because your the only magician doing tricks with some of my favorite card games

[@doesntmatter5263]

You should definitely do an UNO game and play it out with four players. Obviously you being the winner but stack it that way.

[@penpluscakes]

As an avid Pokémon card collector and player of the TCG, I can confirm that all the information you provided is correct. Also super stocked to see my man UnlistedLeaf in the video as well!

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Thanks! I put a lot of time into learning all about the world as best I could over the last month. It was really fun!

[@MrMali22]

Minus a few pronunciations lol But we'll forgive it.

[@RetroPokemonTCG]

I have grown up playing the Pokemon TCG, and everything I have learned about how to handle and shuffle cards has been through the TCG, which I have since translated over to playing cards while trying to learn tricks from your channel, so it's so cool to see you using Pokemon cards instead!

[@David-gj9qr]

Next I'd love to see magic done with magic the gathering cards considering how players who play magic the gathering are supposed to be wizards/beings capable of using magic who are also capable of traveling though different dimensions and universes. So in other words it would be like a real life planeswalker using their magic. It would also be cool to see because there is a deck archetype that revolves around control of the deck using deck manipulation, card draw, or deck manipulation and card advantage. So it would be cool to see a magician controlling or manipulating magic cards since a lot of card magic is deck manipulation

[@HexQuesTT]

@@eboyvolkihar616 Given that Black Lotus is currently somewhere around $145,000 I'd go with the sol ring

[@iamfissure2571]

For a self proclaimed novice you did very well with both the pronunciation of the names and the understanding the different aspects of Pokemon itself. Very well done and extremely impressive cards tricks.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Thanks!!

[@marlowcowan5343]

I'd love to see you partner up with MaxMakesMagic, MTGRemy or MTGshorts to do a similar video for Magic the Gathering card tricks. There are already interactions in the game that feel like magic because of how radically they transform a card or effect. I think theres the potential for a fun video series using IRL magic to illustrate an in game mechanic that can feel like magic.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

great ideas!

[@eshertollefson7820]

Yes! Please do magic tricks with magic: the gathering cards!!!!!!!!!

[@davey645]

this man is gonna be top-decking turn 1 infinites

[@nathanielwiens]

"Somewhere between playing a slot machine and opening presents on Christmas morning"....well if that wasn't the best description I've heard of all the money I spent as a kid on those damn booster packs circa 2000!! 😂 Great video as always!

[@richie.messina]

this really needs to blow up for the creativity and story telling alone, besides the killer skills

[@illinialumni]

Just insane. It’s one thing to learn how to control a normal deck of cards like you do, but to then do it with a completely different deck of cards is unreal after only a month. I obviously don't know how your mind works with cards, but this has to be the equivalent to learning a whole new language. Just beyond impressive.

[@jackpowers4134]

I love how you always have your sleeves rolled up so we know you aren’t hiding cards in them

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Always!

[@AllanDawnsun]

The amount of respect you've showed the fandom without necessarily needing to do so shows character :')

[@mxlje]

You’re just super smooth. Always a pleasure to watch. Thank you, Daniel.

[@fpawluszmtg]

This was really entertaining and satisfactory to watch. Just found your channel today and have been really enjoying it, but it was this particular video that also hit me on my TCG fandom side that really hooked me!

[@nhatminh468]

I have been watching a couple of your videos and all I can say is I am amazed by every single video you made. You deserved more recognition champ.

[@OddModlin]

Love the final spread. Great effect.

[@luv-lost]

dude, the first 30 seconds has some killer slights. that deck change was bomb! edit: Dont let people hate about ripping the pika it was a yellow cheeks and looked like it may have been a repro. And I wish I could do that pack trick on every opening lol! Great video as always!

[@tayhilton6364]

Randomly found this channel and man it’s amazing…that energy spread at the end of the eevee trick gave me chills it was so well done start to finish!

[@assassin01620]

I honestly don't know enough about Pokemon to tell you if something was wrong or not, but this was really cool! I loved the way you performed this, especially the last one where you made puns and got both Vaporeon and Glaceon with the water energy. Very creative and I loved it!

[@OBrienMagic]

Dude!!! That was so much fun!!!!! I have a few pokemon effects in my act as well. One by a good friend of mine where all the common cards actually change to charizards and one where the card ends up in the ball at the end! Fun stuff! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@zacharygreen4404]

Love it. I like magic, but the opportunity you made for creativity with trading cards is just a little extra special.

[@a2pha]

4:52 Beautiful swap here. Don't ever think you're not talented because you are, mega. It's just some things can be seen on camera that would not be readily noticed or accessible to a live spectactor.

[@peterdelessio9274]

I haven't decided if Daniel is a better magic teacher than he is a magician and that should tell you alot considering how awesome his magic is!

[@craigmackssj3680]

your the Goat how you talk and just everything in your presentation!

[@renkousami417]

Another great video!! I only started watching you recently but I'm always just so amazed and impressed with your magic! And how fluent you are with them

[@ooohla9872]

Your multiple Cardini change is impressive !!! And those tricks were amazing !!!

[@ibanezrgt220a9]

The ending trick is so beautiful

[@Elzrim]

It’s 1am in France and I’m watching a man doing magic with pokemon cards

[@talbytcg]

Holy crap haha nice tricks man!

[@Tyty-ux9hw]

great vid , you never cease to amaze

[@MarianoAquino]

loved it! especially the last one!

[@thomaswinther3869]

Legit so fk sick. Great job man

[@TSfish94]

Even the parts I think I kind of understood were still mind blowing. Really enjoyed the pikachu and the eevee-lution ones especially

[@kramermagic12]

where did you get the black hearts and diamonds, red clubs and spades deck that you used in the ten levels of psychology video?

[@thisaccountissomethingelse6960]

0:17 if you go to .25 speed and pause and look at the deck’s back, if I’m not mistaken I think that’s a Pokémon card showing.

[@chiparooo]

That's just great! So good. I really like how you integrated Pokémon. Thanks for sharing!

[@pawngrabber4853]

Next will be the most expensive trick: He uses a deck of 32 Cards and produces all 898 pokemon in numerical (pokedex) order xD

[@lil_savage446]

I also, have never played, collected or seen pokemon at all, and yet this was very impressive

[@Alexysbexys]

to be honest, i watched some of your videos the last couple of days and only decided today to subscribe to you channel, because of this carizard card. i don't know much about the tcg, but i know charizard is very expensive and the effort you put in this video alone astonished me. :)

[@DanielRoyMagic]

hey, whatever works!

[@shampp5411]

You deserve millions of subs and billions of views. Can't wait until you reach the top good sir. Keep it up!

[@tryller007]

Just Love it

[@DanielRoyMagic]

It’s in the description :)

[@Steallar]

I don't know how I got here, at 3 AM but I'm loving every moment of this video! Very entertaining, great voice to listen to and amazing skills. Cheers!

[@justinjames125]

Love the vid Daniel!! As a pokemon fan myself, this was a great watch and congrats on the Holo Charizard lol

[@john-tobeymaguirecena]

Great Video! Pokémon with Dad? That’s awesome. I hope my son plays yu-gi-oh with me when we’re older. Real life Goals lol!

[@clblanchard08]

I'm more of a MTG fan myself but man your videos are always so good.

[@DanielRoyMagic]

I’ll definitely do that at some point

[@ValenteXD]

This is soooooo satisfying to watch and yes you've learned it really well it's amazing

[@vibrantvanilla6135]

You should do the Magic: The Gathering card game.

[@chronicstasis1390]

Bro this was so impressive omg 😹😹😹I love your videos man keep up the great work

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Thanks!!

[@endurorider974]

That was excellent! Beautifully done 🙌

[@jeremypcleung]

how do Pokemon cards handle differently than normal bicycle playing cards? did it make the trick much harder to execute?

[@DanielRoyMagic]

they don't slide around quite as well, but not a huge difference after some practicing

[@iamdc21]

whenever i watch your videos, it just puts a smile on my face

[@Ordinary_Red]

Good freaking heavens this is brilliant. My GOSH I may be a magician too, and I may have a pretty good idea of how you did this, but I ain't even gonna try figure it out because MY GOSH I HAD TOO MUCH FUN WATCHING THIS🤣💖

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Thank you! Means a lot to hear comments like this

[@towellight9400]

Haven't seen anything Pokemon related in probably two decades... First thought I had when you said Eevee and evolution was, "Oh he's gonna do a trick with the three evolutions." Then you said there was 8........ Makes me relive those moments when people say some random new Pokemons name and I say to them, "What now?" And they just say to me "Bro that was a second gen Pokemon how do you not know them?!"

[@markcollins5969]

Now so magic with magic cards

[@Eviscera7e]

I just discovered your channel and I must say that this is amazing. i would love to see some tricks with Magic: the Gathering cards.

[@MarcoAGJ]

Awesome. I'm a big fan of Pokemon and Pokemon Trading Cards.

[@ghostee1768]

Thank you ❤ this is pure joy.

[@wilddestroyer8927]

Love the vid dude and love that you showed my comment 😁😁 Also love the way you hardly know that much about Pokémon but you buy an expensive card xD

[@DanielRoyMagic]

thanks for the suggestion haha

[@wilddestroyer8927]

No problem aha

[@marcwaters3478]

Well done! You have earned a subscriber!

[@stannos7806]

This is breathtaking

[@dartfield4655]

damn I don't know how but I missed this vid, I grew up with the first seasons of Pokémon, that was so wholesome and really well put together

[@frostbite4202]

Your an amazing magician Daniel!!!!

[@lurchers498]

was thinking maybe of doing cups and balls with pokemon crochet balls then reveiling at the end bulbasaur charmander and squirtle under each cup

[@chaosdrgonlord]

Saw this and the YuGiOh video one, so please do a Digimon TCG one! Control the deck so your security (or shields) have the best possibility as well as the best possible starting hand for a deck!

[@Jonnythegiraffe]

Great vid mate 👍

[@shaquilleoatmeal00]

This is such a cool video!! Keep it up 👍🏻

[@ceramiccoconut]

Those first two tricks were a bit obvious, but that Eevee trick was bomb.

[@RandomPerson101]

I love this a little too much than i should.

[@jasonleeroberts]

I love this and you, thank you. Magic cards next pls

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Research is a good thing to do in order to understand better the mechanics of the game

[@marvman9791]

As a Pokémon collector seeing you tear a pikachu destroyed my soul. Then you had to spit on the little bit of soul I had left by crumbling it. Great magic though very impressive

[@CocoDave37]

Great video and I can't stop thinking, If Woody Allen was a Magician !

[@hyui5096]

are pokemon cards harder to use for slight of hand or are they ok?

[@anthonytmein]

5:58 “This was an expensive video to make.” Wait a minute, you’re saying you purchased that Charizard and didn’t use magic to transform the Arcanine??

[@fvizeus]

I watched the anime and played the video games as a kid but I know nothing about Pokémon TCG. Nevertheless I really appreciate all the effort you probably went to learn about the game and come up with tricks to please your audience

[@tomrock8418]

3:04 "Perfectly" The man said, enducing the sound of the word with two parts. One part consisting of the failure to confince himself as it didnt seem perfectly. The second part keeping the effort up to convice the croud nevertheless. Hihihi

[@arrowunderscore]

Loved the video! Jealous of that charazard lol. Also rip fairy energy :(

[@luchaput9009]

Can you do sleight of hand with jumbo cards?

[@DanielRoyMagic]

you can, the moves are just a bit different and you're more limited

[@StevenDuran-n5q]

My satisfaction from this video was better than a q-tip in the ear💯

[@Momma_MC]

dude, for having little knowledge of pokémon like you claim you absolutely nailed this! more pokémon card videos please!!!! AND YOU GOT THE EVOLUTIONS CHARIZARD !!!!

[@DanielRoyMagic]

thanks to ebay lol

[@lukelawsontaylor]

Amazing!

[@DanielRoyMagic]

Thanks for all your help!

[@WH00ZAH]

I really appreciate you researching like a lot on Pokemon and spend a bit of money on this video. That's a dedication and willingness to learn something new and totally unknown to you. Mad respect! And also i wonder how can you not even consume a little bit Pokemon-related media in the last 20 years..AT ALL hmmm. Like i thought you once watched a little bit of the anime as a kid but only remembers a little or maybe played a bit of Pokemon games but somehow doesn't interest you.. But anyway, neat trick! loved the Eevee trick one!

[@ofc.fartVR]

4:11 ma guy pulls 5 cards that i still need for that set

[@icansavehiphop]

Now complete the trifecta do magic with Magic cards

[@DanielRoyMagic]

I’ll do that

[@g_way]

HAHAHHAA this is wonderful!!!! you know your audience well

[@orr4337]

It would be amazing to see it with MTG

[@BloodspitsMusic]

do mtg (magic the gathering) next!

[@forbiddengod4127]

Oh god I can only imagine doing magic with pokemon cards, but to be fair some of the pokemon cards I've tried to do magic with are old so maybe it was just like a deck of cards? Also when he tore the pikachu up it hurt me.

[@gabrearaujo]

Awesome!

[@aadityasinghverma6690]

Most underrated youtuber of all time

[@afeef2152]

Next do Cards Against Humanity or Uno But whatever card magic you gonna post it's always been entertaining, thank you for the upload!
