[@leonardschoenborn9209]

"Oh, my God" are my sentiments exactly!!! There is absolutely no possible way to explain this kind of magic. David clearly burns the $100 bill. Question: What exactly did James drink? Then, David summons James' raven who flies in from James' back-stage room with the very same $100 bill and places it in the glass. Question: How did the raven get the $100 bill when we just saw it being burned and James drink the ashes mixed with water? If this demonstration of magic was never rehearsed, and the raven never trained, then this is absolutely some of the most mind-blowing magic that I have ever seen. Final question: How did David summon the raven without saying a word? This is an example of what seems to be truly magical powers . UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[@FacundoCampazzo123]

Someone puts the fake bill in James' wallet before the show (even he was surprised he had a $100 based on his reaction). The fake bill is pre-torn and adhesived together before being placed in the wallet (so they could align another bill with the fake bill in regards to the tear). Then someone obviously sends in the Raven with the real bill once the fake is burned. This is also the reason why Blaine doesn't let him use any bill but the $100 when James offers.

[@tonywillis5452]

Wow! Very good. You figured it out. ☝️👍

[@joneslive586]

REVEAL:💥 it is a different note (the first one had a sharp fold in it 2:04 from his wallet, the second was perfectly flat 6:43), David carefully tore it in a way practised many times (on cheap $1 notes) so piece would align with the new one. Had James (or a toddler) tore it and it still matched, THEN I'd be impressed

[@joneslive586]

👍

[@FernandoGonzalez-ub9iw]

Yea, of course, and what happened with the serial number you domed ass...

[@brahmburgers]

I think you're wrong. Plus, the numbers were identical on each, or at least the 003 at the end.

[@boat6771]

I think there are two pieces of identical notes. The one in James' wallet was silently put before the show. That was why he was a bit surprised when he saw the 100 notes in the wallet.

[@biblicalfitness1838]

David gave him a specially prepared bill ahead of time that was created by adhering the "torn corner" onto a dummy bill. He put the special bill with 2 serial numbers in James' wallet, and gave the rest of the bill to the raven. In other words, when James read the serial number at the beginning, he was careful to read the serial number on the right, otherwise the trick would have fallen apart. The two of them rehearsed the trick ahead of time. That's why the camera angle changes at the end when the raven appears. Both of these creeps are Luciferians who have taken the oath. James lied, saying it's "my raven" and that it "never leaves my dressing room", when it's actually David's raven. "David Blaine" (not his real name) is a Jewish con artist from New York.

Then, when the raven appears with the bill it could be inferred that somehow the windblown ashes were captured/reassembled by the raven.

[@godrulesme8619]

I have also watched him in detail...and you are right..here is my take... What could be the meaning of this crazy trick ??? Well, the US Dollar will burn possibly soon and collapse along with our United Snakes of America Then as humans...we all drink up these tricks like there is no supernatural dark powers involved... ...and it can be totally explained rationally which most of his dark tricks cannot be. You can support David Blaine..and his $40 million dollar net worth and all his Hollywood friends if you want....good luck to you. Then the numbers on the bill along with the A at the end...all add up to 33...which is Freemasonry, Jesus age of death, etc. More importantly that adds up to the number 6. The year we are in is also the number 6 added up. The crow brings in the bill and a crow symbolizes a omen...and death. Which is what is going to happen to the USA soon most likely and maybe all of the world. We simply do not live for God people...we live for our religions, books written by men, money, pride, our egos, our beliefs, our looks, our cell phones, our so called knowledge, etc. Can we really prove any of us truly serve the true God? No...no one knows. However, when you a Christians for example...like I was for years. I actually believed at that time I was going to heaven because I found the true God. While others did not and would burn in hell for eternity like the Bible and Jesus says repeatedly. The Bible taught me pride and blinded me...like most everything can with pride. Pride...is what the devil taught us...just like black magic was taught to David Blaine. Funny...you can spell the world DEVIL out of the letters of David Blaine also. Many more of David...but do you hear him talking about God or morals to others...NOPE. Serve God...not a religion or book and do not trust anyone right now...but God. And hopefully you find the right one...there is billions to chose from sadly enough. This is not heaven...or most likely hell either...who knows? Truly no one does...but religious people or most all of them believe they do. You don't have to agree with me...and you can love your $40 million dollar magician and all the millionaire Hollywood friends of his. I am sure they will loan you some money if you are in need of food for your family;) Because they all are such people of God...;)

The bill wasn't always in sight. They are clearly different bills.

[@cryptojuicer]

@@stuwest5862 they literally had the same serial number

[@ByAnyMeansNecessary.]

@@cryptojuicer I won't say how but it's not hard to remove and replace a serial number on a bill. It's a method inspired by Daniel Garcia which in turn was inspired by Paul Harris. Both are magicians Blaine has worked closely with behind the scenes. Without Harris there would probably be no David Blaine as we know him today.

[@saynomore5730]

FYI that raven came from hell to bring him that bill .

[@kiseryota3804]

Just too awesome and smooth

[@slavaukraine5245]

The timing is too good. Dave is an absokute master and James gets a bad wrap but is a great host

[@Adam-sb4ml]

That has to be one of these impossible tricks I've ever seen!! 😮 It's so remarkable! This is something a host can never do too many of. 🤩

[@alqazaha1]

I seen david blaine do tricks with crows before but this is the first time he does it on a live show.

[@TreyM1609]

David Blaine just trolling people and our eyes now. 👏 👏 👏 great job

[@theamnz5285]

I’m glad my fav childhood magician comeback now😄

[@SRavindhranGanapathy]

The second $100 bill is missing all the folds and creases the original bill had!

[@nowzen4240]

Yep

[@ImmortalOutlaw23]

Good 👁

[@ericminch]

Blaine simply had Corden's valet iron the bill, out of normal British courtesy.

[@RC83]

Well it's not real magic 😂 It's an illusion.

[@marvinp7290]

If you want to believe in magic, don't read the following: The trick works by switching the bill while taking out the lighter. Zoom in on the serial number when David puts his lighter underneath the bill.

[@michaeltravis4404]

I love this! The resurrection and delivery of the bill by the Raven was more shocking and magical than any puff of smoke or unexplained appearance.
