I know people eventually realize how these tricks are done, it's 21st century, cameras on everything. but there's no denying that this incredible artist who has the balls to do all of them live in front of cameras,so sure that he won't screw up, keep everybody replaying, pausing, slowing his videos, David Blaine , Revolutionized the magic game forever

[@WaddIes]

[@marksman24444]

[@turtleguy5758]

+sam irani It's not the cameras that are impressive, but the fact that he does thousands of interactive tricks up close and personal with total strangers on the street. But yes, definitely an artist.

[@LaughingMadFace]

"pick a suit to eliminate", and she picks hearts, the only one that he didn't want eliminated, so he just said, okay, you chose hearts. Yo this guy, is a legend, and super slick.

[@JudySmilestv]

He's had 1 hour of sleep in the past 8 years

[@Vonhia181]

Gabriel Iaco

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

When he's "vanishing" the cards with his finger,notice the distance between the cards,he's actually making it look like it's a full deck when it wasn't full to begin with,he's holding the cards in a way that it looks it was a full deck. Pretty cool

[@SleepyChloeFist]

BlackSketchThingy but then how did he know it would be hearts?

[@chuckjones7218]

it's literally designed so it doesn't matter what she says. If she says clubs he taps the deck and says "there go the clubs, now name another suit".

[@Ryan.A.]

Listen to what he says to the girl "Choose a suit to eliminate other than spades" He has a 50% chance to hit hearts or clubs. He doesn't eliminate the hearts instead he makes it seem as though she picked that for the end result. Lets say she says clubs. He then pushes down a little bit. Then he says pick another girl. Repeat until hearts are said or hearts are last. David Blaine is such an artist when it comes to magic. He forces the card to be picked and Jimmy calls him out. Then he states "maybe i forced it so lets do something that can't be forced" and then he goes and does another forced trick. Brilliant!

[@bigmz5801]

LeHarlequin he planned it with jimmy

[@ramsaybolton3728]

Yo nice call bro!!!! Your totally right!!!

[@KA-xf1xp]

Haha I fucking love this guy he's like a more depressed Ross from friends mixed with a stoner who just bums around doing impossible shit he needs to do stand up!

[@dezbryantcaughtit5138]

It's a medical condition that everyone hates you

[@illfigure9270]

I'll be honest that one caught me off gaurd😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀

[@HulkVahkiin]

agreed XD

[@mkygod]

The getting rid of the suit trick is just a mental trick involving wordplay. It doesn't matter what suit the girl chooses.. Remember, he asked the girl what suit she wants to ELIMINATE. She chose "hearts". So then why did he leave hearts in the deck instead of getting rid of it? He turned it around and made it seem like it was supposed to be hearts left in the deck because that's what she picked. Now what if she had chosen a different suit like "diamonds"? Well, then he would snap his fingers and say that its gone from the deck. Then he will ask her to choose another suit. If she picks "hearts", then he would do a reveal. If she picks "clubs", then he would snap his fingers and say its gone from the deck, leaving only hearts left in the deck.

[@EvilMonkeyReturns]

If you're such a genius at knowing the secrets to close-up magic or card tricks, how come your name isn't plastered all over the world & making millions?

[@manuelwolff_de]

EvilMonkeyReturns . maybe he has no hands.

[@MRfisheri]

***** when he asked jimmy to put his signature, he changed his deck of cards to a 'special deck' or he did something with it. Magicians always use distractions like that. Watch the video again. Not as impressive as the first time is it?

[@mkygod]

EvilMonkeyReturns . I never claim to be a magician. It takes a lot more than just knowing the trick to do what he does. I'm just trying to explain because theres lots of comments saying that the girl was a plant when it wasn't.

[@ahmadnike1]

not that im a magician, but heres exactly how he does it,,, first of all, he have ALL the hearts on the top,, second, as mentioned above, he used distractions like asking them to put there signature on the card, and pay atention to how he turns away from the audience and the cameras as he is putting all other cards except for heart in his pocket, trust me,, and to make the deck look like its a full deck,, he bevels them in a certain way, and makes it look like its a full deck,, and the presentation does a big part too,,,, sry for my bad englsh, but there you go,, and if you dont trust me,,, there is a few tutorials on this on youtube, check them out :D

[@mubblemann]

Name a suit to eliminate other than spades. She picks hearts but the hearts remain, not disappear.

[@SkyAceGod]

thats the tricks. if the girl choose other than heart. like clover or diamond, the guy will start to make the suit dissapear until the heart left.(sorry for bad grammar)

[@fennyfamous6075]

+sky ace what is she says diamond then hearts?

[@gh8735]

What an incredible human being.

MY NIGGA DAVID BLAINE IS A FUCKIN BOSS DUDE!!!!

[@BRBallin1]

He specifically asked for a girl in the audience since he knew they would pick hearts XD

[@micglou]

+BRBallin1 Could've been diamonds :)

[@Mrjonnyea]

+micglou bitches love diamonds

[@MrTwan92]

+Mrjonnyea Could have been clubs, thots love clubs

[@blink180heights]

+BRBallin1 exactly what i thought

[@Buddharey]

Lmao all 4 of ya made that perfect, that was funny af

[@JiveDadson]

The camera cuts did Blaine a big favor by cutting away while he was ditching 3/4 of the deck.

[@gregluv5294]

+JiveDadson 2:44

[@JiveDadson]

Blaine did not have unlimited do-overs like he does on the videos he produces. Result, multi-fail. Pinky break shows. "Spectator" calls him out for forcing a card. He has to show hearts, which were "eliminated."

[@ice6906]

true

[@tennisbuddys777]

Nice catch. Didn't notice til you said that

[@Maximn]

That not how the trick works.

[@antonioesquivel3709]

bruuuuh wtf lmao he's the best magician ever

[@colourwaveyt2212]

His voice is making his face go to sleep 😂 I know this is old but still funny

[@Theevileye00]

That's an old reference, not as old as this one though twaaah...

[@boydegg]

That went a bit wrong. He asked that girl for a suit to ELIMINATE. She chose hearts, but he didn't eliminate hearts. He eliminated diamonds and clubs. He used the word eliminate twice, but once she selected hearts he stopped using that word: "See Jimmy, all that's left is hearts, because that's what she thought of ..." WHAT?!?!? I thought you were going to eliminate hearts!

[@tripline8076]

Brian Boyd That is part of the trick and he worded it wrong. He should have said, for elimination, pick a suite. If she didn't say hearts, he would have said, OK lets eliminate that suite, pick another one.

[@coolstuff8899]

Omg you can't be serious obviously he meant eliminating the suite from the deck of cards.

[@PorkchopSandviches]

Brian Boyd What probably happened is he had a trick deck that could only have eliminated everything except hearts, so if she had said clubs then he would have said "that leaves us with hearts and diamonds". Then he would have asked another audience member to choose another suit. If they had said hearts he would say "we'll only keep hearts" and if they had said "diamonds" he would say "then we'll eliminate diamonds".

[@manfreddog]

PorkchopSandviches how.

[@jacksondeshazo4814]

Magicians: anybody else have a panic attack when jimmy said cause you forced it in me 😂😂😂

[@Skyladikooo]

+Jackson deShazo I was blown away when he said that!

[@chilliiboii2]

+Jackson deShazo Why did it give you a panic attack? I don't know anything about magic.

[@jacksondeshazo4814]

+CrypticleCanine cause that's what he did

[@chilliiboii2]

Jackson deShazo What?

[@AllDayHockey]

+CrypticleCanine when doing card tricks you can force a card on the person. so in this case he forced the 7 of spades because he had it on thr marker. not alot of people know you can do that so for kimmel to say that is pretty funny

[@mr.meeseeks8567]

David Blaine is a dark wizard.

[@ThinkForward0]

+Mr. Meeseeks he is a demon

[@jebustavera8132]

[@kieran1418]

+LearnNow Online 😞no he isnt

[@kieran1418]

+faded alexthegreat no no no he is not

[@brett_kendrick82]

I thought she picked hearts to be eliminated from the deck not be the only suit left 🤔

[@3LAWE9]

it was a nice save lol

[@yourebreakingmyballs4787]

Yeah, he tried to cover it up but saying "You chose hearts"

[@DeeDubb1983]

Haha 2:50 "Do you know why you chose that?" "Cause you forced it on me." Haha, Jimmy is smarter than he knows.

[@JA-hc4vs]

that's nothing you should see my trick it's called 52 card pick up. the trick is when you look down the see all the cards on the ground when u look back up I'll be gone so you have to clean them up.

[@sethellingson5733]

Why dose he always look high 😂?

[@sexydino6489]

yea I swear this nigga eats pot brownies

[@carvin7CHANNEL]

He's a satanic practicer

[@spyroshowtheoneandonly3036]

LmAO hahahaha#ROTFL😂

[@Xroronoazoro]

+carvin7CHANNEL u got ur word

[@AHornyCyclist]

He gave himself brain damage holding his breath

[@connoraxi]

Hate people who try to say how he did it, it's not actually magic idiots, just admire his showmanship

[@levarmitchell3962]

I think I know how he did the last trick...somewhat. He had the cards spaced out to give the illusion it was a full deck, so when he flattened the deck, it looked like it was shrinking because cards were vanishing.

[@Tadpole69]

Thanks detective Mitchell

[@Tadpole69]

You are very cLEVAR ;))

[@NitroniumGaming]

Realized that as well, not real magic

[@martinlarsen8525]

+Levar Mitchell At 3:23 you can see him do that to the deck

[@connorr2222]

Nitronium your stupid if you think it's real magic

[@TheNonBeliever]

When David said pick a suit you want to eliminate, she picked hearts. Hearts was what he was going to be left with regardless. If she chose clubs instead, he would press on top of it and say now pick another and then she would say diamond and he would press again and be left with hearts no matter what. Now if you look close, when he has a "full deck", it actually isn't. There is a slight gap between each card to appear that it is a full deck, and he lightly presses on top to make it collapse. To space the cards like that where your eye can't detect it unless you are up close, is some real skill and the entire trick.

[@zer01nfinity]

What if she said diamonds then hearts?

[@PickyMcCritical]

zer01nfinity makes a good point; seems more likely to me that Jimmy and the girl were in on it.

[@DAN-qv4jx]

there is a gimmick involved

[@sboazable]

are you sure it's not real magic?

[@edgurrr]

Nah, a ton of tricks have that sort of tricky wording that ends up being only 1 option no matter what. As far as the rest of the trick goes, it's all in the video, you just have to watch closely ;]

[@xXGAMING101Xx]

David Blaine is kinda of a awkard guy

[@JuhnLuk]

Either that, or he's actually incredibly normal but smokes a lot of weed before he stepped in front of the camera.

[@TerranceMann]

Juhn Luk yeah, you already said incredibly normal

[@mahym6874]

Jim Vader Just because he said akward, doesn't mean he meant not loud.

[@xXGAMING101Xx]

Mahym i know right lol

[@xXGAMING101Xx]

***** not all chris angel is not like that.

[@sodazman]

It's not that hard to do but the execution is flawless.

[@unhealthycarrot]

Lol

[@TheGOATRammus]

Lol

[@FtwBohl]

Lol

[@mustang8206]

Most trucks aren't technically difficult. It's the misdirection and presentation that make it work

[@helmut4lyfe]

I'm fully convinced that David Blaine is an extra terrestrial.

[@gamemaster4477]

Lmfao

[@jimedward6050]

He only had hearts all along and the 7, he held the deck in a way that made it look full. It's all to do with angles

[@helmut4lyfe]

snoopi kinnaird He fanned out the deck to begin the trick...

[@jellojiggle1]

Cory Hall he switched decks.

[@TheStunnerFTW]

Haemosu l search up david blaine he does more crazy shit than that

[@MagnumSkyWolf]

Why do people always feel the need to explain the trick. I have yet to come across a magic trick video on KZbin without someone explaining how it's done. I'm fully convinced people think they're smarter because they know how it's done

[@fakewebz1]

Because those stupid Fox specials on magic made everyone think they are genius investigators on how to spot magic tricks. They really ruined magic for many

[@Antwansauce]

Yoo that shit was fucking wild!

[@rylandmatias8102]

[@apollo1573]

Shanice you’re slow

[@dimemeanickel]

Am about 3 years late with this but... You're a wizard Harry! Oops. meant David. The most amazing thing I have ever seen.

[@Mark.Christian]

When he said "Let me see...." at 3:18, he changed the cards on his left hand. And that bitch is a part of the act 3:46.

[@FlyingCarNation]

yeah you're right lol

[@scottgomez1]

How do you figure he did that, and without the audience or JK seeing this? And how would he have known that the lady was going to pick Hearts? Let me guess, it was all fixed, audience included.

[@Mark.Christian]

scottgomez1 What kind of brain is in your head? Don't you understand what I just commented?

[@irishock]

She's not part of the show. Blaine said pick a suit to eliminate which she replied with hearts.. so he had no choice but to pretend like the question was "pick a suit to keep" instead. If she was part of the show she would've just said clubs and diamonds so it'd actually make sense.

[@mohammedaldeghaither6555]

Fuck you're right LOL

[@XxGrizZ]

Here's a nifty little tidbit about illusions, if a magician asks a female to name a suit or a card, 99 out of a 100 times, they will name hearts and you immediately know that the magician is wanting/expecting them to name hearts and that part of the trick.

[@jettycomlego]

ikr lmao

[@connera93]

xXGrizZ You can't bank on that every time. Diamonds would be another popular choice. And if the women is clever enough she'll choose clubs because she'll be expected for him to want her to say hearts or diamonds. So that would never work in real scenarios

[@SychoB0b]

here's the flaw in your theory, women aren't clever enough for that!

[@johnharwood194]

So there are no clever women? Er..right! Have you ever even be NEAR a woman?

[@famousgilbert4401]

I would love to see David Blaine and Chris angels go at it and do tricks to each other lol

[@oscarronquillo7794]

not so clever ... not funny at all... not the best comment

[@kouroshb3889]

Didn`t he ask the girl to name a suit to Eliminate?

[@amicklich6729]

Yes. Further proof our minds our cyclic, due to exposure to this and that. Still impressive knowledge that he has. Entertaining.

[@kouroshb3889]

yup, illusionists all have impressive knowledge and skills, He has more. I absolutely appreciate that, but I personally always dig for something more than that in these kind of stuff.

[@JonnyUnderrated]

Well youre just a special snowflake that knows it all arent you? lol. Most people are fooled by even the most basic illusions...its fun. Most people dont actually know about forces and misdirection. When done well its an artform . Just because you know it all doesnt mean its any less entertaining for the rest of us dude. chill.

[@johncrossing]

David and Eddie Vedder seem to have really similar personalities in interviews, kind of reserved but still gracious.

[@MattGarcyaDC]

The hell are you taking about?

[@johncrossing]

I don't really think my English was confusing or incorrect, therefore "what I am talking about", is what I said.

[@thejoka9120]

[@RyanReacts4Ever]

David Blaine is the best magician in the world. He is the Michael Jordan of magicians.

[@theBang4thebuck]

Lately I've seen some of his tricks and I'm starting to wonder how much of his soul have he sold...

[@V19-g9i]

[@pagoniskostas8578]

bro the trick is obvious

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

We are home caring our mother here in New York. At 94, Mama Lu, a former Big Band singer from the 1940's when she met our father... defies all the odds today... with her stamina, wit, and humor. And SHE HAS DEMENTIA..a good friend referred to her yesterday as the "David Blaine of dementia'..whoa..hey I can dig it!!

[@stormstriker8157]

R we not gonna talk about how a bunch of cards just disappeared, without him shaking his hands or any fast movements. That blew my mind

[@TheWarwickWarrior]

Lol at some of you trying to act like you know how he did it. Its simple...he's magic! Best magician out there.

[@paulharrison7055]

There isn't anything hard to understand about this trick. Jimmy picking the 7 of spades is exactly like he said it was a forced card pause the video at 2:37 you can see the split which he has set on the 7. as for the deck shrink there is a switch that happens at 3:20, notice that when the girl is asked to "eliminate" a suite keep in mind that there is only hearts, diamonds and clubs left. but the girl is asked to eliminate a suite so surely eliminate means get rid off not make it the only suite left i'm sure that if she said diamonds he would of asked for someone to "choose" a suite not eliminate then if the next audience member chooses clubs he would of said ok so you chose to eliminate them but if she chose hearts he would of said ok you chose hearts and therefore they are the only ones left. as for the shrink its classed as a fat deck where you simply select the cards you want and space them to resemble a full deck, that's why you can see when he is doing the trick one side of the deck is lower than the other. trick explained!!!

[@TerranceMann]

paul harrison lol at 2:37, jimmy picks a card as blaine is fingering through them. he doesn't even pause until jimmy picks the card. and at the 3:20 mark, you actually see blaine's hands on the desk, shuffling the cards. you can hear them hit against the desk. there is no switch. jimmy and the audience would have seen that. like most magicians will say, it's a mixture of magic and luck. he asked specifically for a female audience member, because he bets that she will choose a hearts suit

[@Othmarius]

paul harrison knowing how a trick works isn´t knowing how the trick is done.

[@paulharrison7055]

apologies pause at 2:35 for those who want to see the split as for the deck shrink if people genuinely believe that he really made all the cards apart from hearts and jimmy's card disappear then wow you need to learn how to pay close attention. magic isn't real it is all slight of hand, distraction, planting information for the observer to pick up on and very good timing

[@tweety8735]

paul harrison no)) not that time

[@stoneydanyahoo]

You don't smirk and say, "that is crazy" when someone does something like that-- you do the sign of the holy cross over your glass of water and throw it at them while shouting, "EL DIABLO" repeatedly.

[@Fimontronia]

The problem with this trick is he said to name a suit to get rid of. And she said hearts. But he didn't get rid of hearts. This means if the person said diamond or clubs. He would just say he would eliminate those. And left in the deck is hearts no matter what the girl says.

[@izzys89]

+MrGameFan He shows Jimmy the deck and makes him confirm it's a regular pack, then he does a little slight of hand deck altering at 2.32, you even see him put the pile of 7's on top of the deck and then makes Jimmy choose his card out of only these by only fanning them out when offering him the deck to choose.

[@izzys89]

+Fimontronia what if someone had said clubs? and then spades and diamonds were gone too, that would be silly, how would he get around that?

[@Fimontronia]

If she said clubs instead of hearts then he gets rid of it.

[@redhorizon7225]

+Fimontronia you're saying he only had hearts no matter what...she asks him to get rid of hearts -he doesn't, instead he shows hearts, good point, but that's the only point you made. If she asks for diamonds then he says he got rid of diamonds and only shows hearts and jimmy's card? okay and what about spades? He would have to say he got rid of spades too -arbitrarily ...."hey i took out the spades too" and then show only the hearts and jimmy's card....the trick wouldnt be so cool anymore and I think thats a long shot for dave who is a very cool magician...i agree with isobel, that would be a bit silly, but again your theory could be right -it's just a long shot...great point though about still showing hearts even though he said he would get rid of it

[@ToOmAnYBLUNTS420]

+Fimontronia Ya, it's a classic force with a Blaine twist. That's why magic is amazing, you can put your own touch on just about any trick and make a completely different outcome.

[@jpower316]

This man proves dedication to his craft equals great results. It is no different than a man or women who is an expert in there field and masters his or hers skills. It is not the trick that just excites me but all the time, effort, and passion that goes into making the simple seem unbelievable!!!

[@datboicuz]

if she had said diamonds david would be like "fuck"

[@TailorK9]

it was hearts all along. now the trick is in the phrasing of his request. notice he asks her to name a suit to eliminate. so if she says diamond or clubs, he can say ok, i'll eliminate that. now name another suit, and she says club or diamond, he can say eliminated and left with heart which is what he needs to get her to eliminate down to. but if she says hearts at any point he can say ok, hearts it is, which ended up being the case. BUT NOTICE the request was "name a suit to eliminate"

[@saucy05]

TailorK9 But if she said hearts on the second request, instead of the the first or third request, wouldn't it kinda ruin the trick?

[@21antonio12]

saucy05 he could just say "now name another suit" instead of "now name another suit to eliminate.

[@TailorK9]

saucy05 he asked the girl to name a suit "other than spades" to eliminate (because Jimmy had the 7 of spades). that leaves 3 suits for her to chose from, so the question can only be asked twice in order to narrow it down to one suit. And somehow he has to get it narrowed down to hearts, but he has tactics for that like what he did when she said hearts.

[@shakaama]

TailorK9 none of you are getting it. write out his question word for word, starting with his question to jimmy to point to someone. so he says about 4 sentences. he forces her to say hearts. it's call NLP. look it up. mentalists do it all the time.

[@pinkskies21]

anyone else think this man is fine as hell

[@paullambert3836]

i think you are fine as hell mr hill

[@pinkskies21]

monotonous why thank you sonny

[@gnarly441]

That just got weird

[@JohanJpPaul]

That last deck squeezing trick is so neat! Woooo.

[@Himani_inamiH]

Ben Carson! He totally sounds like Ben Carson I've been trying to put my finger on it for ages AGHHhaha

[@Methodistical]

A suit to disappear? Armani

[@OCSleazy]

He has some fast hands...mines are faster ahhhh!

[@nickvlahos7072]

All versions of this video were deleted from the internet for roughly a year. Good to see it finally back up

[@GoOnLaurie]

"Let me try something simple with you".... If this is simple I'd love to see complex.

[@999993028]

Two really brilliant card effects here. Even if you know how they are done, I doubt there are many people who could perform them as perfectly as Blaine does.

[@ninjaflame8950]

He never eliminated the hearts

[@daswani87]

David Blaine for president!

[@TheMongolat]

He could make Russia dissappear.

[@themotivator1698]

YESSSS

[@cloroxbleach2079]

David Blaine looks like his voice is putting his face to sleep

[@mase152]

That's from mean tweets like 3 years ago gtfo

[@CitizenoftheWorld1]

Notice that the lady chose to eliminate hearts which threw him by surprise. Hearts is the least popular suit so he was expecting spades/diamonds. But he's so slick he said she CHOSE hearts as in she eliminated all the other suits

[@TheSurgexX]

if david blaine can make cards disappear, can he make the kardashians, justin bieber and miley cryus disappear too?

[@konkelkent]

Miley? are u gay dude,

[@xDavidB93]

konkelkent I'm a straight male, and I don't find Miley attractive at all.

[@Ruffianx_]

David Blaine is an awesome human being.

[@mrxxbrian]

Jimmy shouldve been like "Get the fuck out of my studio"

[@chrispite9]

David Blaine always sounds like he's on heroin xD

[@thinkblue8923]

Fellow junkie I assume?

[@HLGCeltic24]

Heroin is a little extreme. Just sounds like he's super super stoned.

[@numberoath]

How do you know what that sounds like?

[@yakakalpo]

ThinkBlue89 or he had a junkie friend, like I did...

[@yakakalpo]

sounds like it. But he doesn't tilt his head back and doze off, in the middle of a conversation, for 5 minutes.

[@ruchirrawat8804]

I see his schedule Monday to wednesday : Satan worship thursday : magic show friday to sunday : Satan worship

[@numberoath]

Magic is real and it does exist.

[@TonyTrancz]

the best magician ... =D

[@thomdotexe]

Dynamo...

[@philosophiabme]

You know all the magicians watching saw him cut to a break for a classic force, he's just so good at it though!

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

+John Braddock youtube magicians or actual magicians?

[@philosophiabme]

Ahsan Ali I understand there is a difference. But "youtube magicians" are still magicians. (Unless they don't actually perform tricks.)

[@Mineav]

+John Braddock Yeah, definite force, and very smooth. But how'd he make the cards disappear?

[@Tornadospeed10]

+Mineav deck switch probably, it was set up a lot because she said eliminate the hearts but instead he switched it to hearts being the only one left so he was planning on hearts all along. And if you closely watch the deck you can see the gaps between the cards spread out in his hand and he just pushes them together

[@jackalack7234]

I like how humble and quiet of a guy david is

[@MontyQueues]

what the EFFF WHAT THE EFFFF

[@ExtremeAnalDischarge]

I find it hard to believe that in David Blaine's entire career no one has offered him a cup of coffee, 5 hour energy drink, Red Bull, meth, cocaine or any other stimulant just to push his eyelids all the way open.

[@slawdel]

lmfao

[@StopMotionNeal]

Pause at 3:43 Look how the left side of the deck is much thinner than the right. He just switched out the decks when the camera zoomed in on jimmy's signature, replacing it with a spaced out deck consisting of 10 cards.

[@suvariboy]

I noticed the same thing. Plus he asked the girl in the audience to pick a suit to eliminate. She said hearts, but that wasn't eliminated. It was the only suit left, apart from the seven of spades.

[@maseusa1]

Oh here we go again of course there is a trick thats his job ... it's not magic it's never been magic he just work on how to fool the human eye

[@StopMotionNeal]

Mario Silva Well yes, I'm not bashing him for it. It's just fun to try to figure out their secrets.

[@suvariboy]

***** No bashing. ;)

[@aramkar7318]

yeah, he had lot of time to change the deck, the zoom moment was one of them

[@zgillet]

That's a ballsy ploy with the hearts.

[@CrazyCow500]

"cause you forced it on me" lol

[@foramdoshi6928]

Jimmy : 'cause you forced it on me!! lol😂

[@pedazodeboludo]

He said "name a suit to ELIMINATE"... but the hearts were the only suit NOT eliminated. He gave away the equivocation.

[@O_BOUGATSAS]

Let me just reveal this trick :) First of all David forced the 7 of Spades to Jimmy.Then as jimmy was put his signature on the card, David did the "Fat deck principle" (google it) with the rest of the deck(only the heart cards).In the and David asked the lady from the audience to name a suit other than Spades to ELIMINATE ! If the lady named Clubs he whould say: ok we eliminate Clubs tell us another one... so in conclusion it doesn't mater what the lady said... TADAAAA sorry for my English thank me later

[@Gentleazi]

u didnt explain how the cards disappeared.

[@O_BOUGATSAS]

Aslan Khan He did the "Fat deck principle" if you search it you will understand how he disappeared the cards

[@Gentleazi]

Ohh

[@Gentleazi]

Oh he squeezes them?

[@O_BOUGATSAS]

Aslan Khan yes !

[@mikedaflexta]

I wish Blaine could make terrorist, dictators, sex traffickers, poverty, child abuse, woman abuse, certain Politicians, and reality shows all disappear. It would be so magical.

[@Casarzino]

nice try

[@RhythmOfTomorrow]

I really respect this guy. He has the world record of holding his breath for 17 Mins. He is a legend

[@daltoncoker1149]

I don't think he has the record anymore

[@michaelvan2644]

+Dalton Coker he will break it again

[@UCFTyler]

When he takes the cards out of the box, he lays the deck flat on the table, and it's definitely a full deck, so I'm skeptical of the theory that the cards were apart from each other when he made them disappear.

[@roughryder5]

He chose a girl since he knows she's either going to choose diamonds or hearts. If she says Diamonds, he would say ok, Im going to eliminate the diamonds. Then he would say okay there are 2 suits left, clubs and hearts and would ask one person to chose a suit. If they choose hearts, he go and reveal the hearts. If the person said clubs, he would say ok, Im eliminating the clubs and then reveal the hearts. It's all presentation.

[@logandraper6271]

Yup, he even says "choose a suit that isn't clubs to eliminate" the she chooses hearts and so he changes it to "you want hearts?" and therefore he keeps them. Still a great trick.

[@cristianbejarano2000]

LiftOrGTFO but where did the cards go

[@landonmartin1433]

Ckris1020 when jimmy was signing the card he stood up and took out all the other cards besides the hearts. The deck he was holding when he pretended to make the cards disappear was actually just the hearts and the signed card. He was just holding the cards spaced out so it looked like it was the full deck.

[@platinumpineapple9943]

yes correct, also at 2:44 he adjusted the cards by spreading them out even tho he kept the hearts

[@platinumpineapple9943]

+Matt Elliott 2:40 he hid the other cards and kept the hearts and asjusted them so it looked like there was a full deck

[@thomasboisson5429]

He said name another suit to eliminate. She said hearts. He SHOWED her the hearts, he did not eliminate them!

[@TooChillery]

He said name a suite to eliminate and she said hearts. But hearts didn’t get eliminated. lol.

[@yourebreakingmyballs4787]

Yup most people don't choose hearts to eliminate but she really screwed him Over lmao

[@maxspringfield]

Girls always pick hearts.

[@bballer191]

+max springfeild Was going to say the same thing. They always do.

[@magicianaditya]

They also love to pick diamonds too!!

[@bisket81]

Sure what about the cards disappearing

[@bisket81]

Hmm when looking closely a lot of space between cards - a deck of hearts to begin with

[@nathan.w05]

He's so chill
