David Blaine visits Rubenstein

David Blaine stops in at Rubenstein and surprises the staff and Howard with a few magic tricks

[@michaellynch5637]

His sleight of hand is amazing. Even when you know how certain tricks are done and you're looking closely for it, you still can't see it. His sleight of hand is flawless

[@keithparks7598]

You should see what a witch can do

[@kuelf123]

THIS. I am also a professional magician. It's very easy to understand for someone like me how the tricks are done. But the real talent is in presentation and graceful movement. When you distract your audience it must be done in a way that subconciously distracts the audience and makes them never question the movement you just made. David will sometimes look away off to side and make you look there with him while he finishes the trick with his hands.

Even though I know exactly how he does it it would be an absolute honor to nave David Blaine perform his famous three card monte on me. You are right he is absolutely flawless you can’t even see it.

[@Mahdi_Amine]

@@kuelf123 it's not only magic but psychology too

[@Tpbabe]

many people can do the same tricks as DB but NOBODY can do them the way he does!

[@CuriousChronicles82275]

Tasha Plackett there are many and You can also subscribe to their youtube channel since they teach the trick as well. Go figure

[@NoNewfriendss]

When he pops cards from hand to hand it's so exact it's almost an intimidation tactic he uses to control the room. Brilliant man.

[@seansmith373]

It’s so true dB is one of the best card trick magicians 4 sure

[@saucemagic]

He has the ability to take command of the room

[@detectivejonesw]

Perfectly summed it up

[@youngPC]

the way he can take a simple double lift and use it in such creative and varied tricks is amazing.

[@ShuAbLe]

he does it so clean and so fast. I've been trying to do it using the same movement

[@MrElectricSkittles]

Flawless

David is great, great style and humanizes everyone...love his everything!

[@davencin10]

David was the first of his art I took seriously. I was in sudan at the time and one of my older relatives showed me Davids first Street special. When I was back in America the first thing I got was a deck of biccycles. His style is great and unpenatrable, and the best part...NO STOOGES!

[@karankhanna03]

master at work

[@ozzybhoii07]

true, i'v been performing blaine-style illusions and tricks for years now and they are totally impromptu and do take loads of practice and skill. david was the reason i started and always will be simply because of his style and the unique way he communicates with his audience. he makes performing in the streets something exciting, and gets the audience involved so theres no doubt that there are no gimmicks involved or actors (unlike chris angel etc).

[@osamabinladen824]

Really

12 years ago phone cameras were just becoming a thing. And they were not really that good.

[@brantbarker6264]

Mind blown

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

The thing that gets me the most is the pop he does on lifts. I've been trying that shit for like 10 months now, and I basically never nail it. I can get the sound with a flash, or no sound and no flash...but never the perfect combo. Everything he does with card is amazing, but that pop sound is no joke!

[@ziggassedup]

smooth

[@mikep508]

i agree with u. I collect decks too. I just cant imagine myself destroying a card from an expesive deck. I dont use a lot of my decks either, i just buy them for the look.

[@clarence22joseph]

(CONT.) For those who are reading my comment If you're a magician or your in to cards you know what I'm taking about that DL and P. breaks . PEACE!!! Let's continue bring happiness to people. We are not created to fool them but we are created to bring happiness to them. Thanks to the person who uploaded this video. You can't see db doing this tricks in his db tv special at abc. Thanks you man.

That was very nice to watch. With all of the big publicity stunts that these guys have to do to keep peoples attention its nice to see some good solid magic.

[@TheMysticCraft86]

Now it's obvious why he hasn't come out with a teaching DVD... Even L&L can't support such wizardry

[@MusicforMe123]

It's amazing to watch when David tricks highly intelligent people.

[@davencin10]

Lucky. Them and Dai Vernon are teh bestzawa.

[@tropicalpalmtree]

[@mikep508]

omfg he ripped a card from the master deck i weep for that card

[@clarence22joseph]

All the tricks that db performed in this video I figured it out right away and I performed it with people around me also except with the ripping of cards because I don't have extra decks to waste. It's not easy because I'm not as good as db but as much as possible I did it clean and simple. He's my idol by the way. I will continue doing this trick to different people. Because many of them don't know about DL, P. Breaks etc.

[@CrazyCow500]

I an agree with that...

[@SimonHill52]

quality!! i want to meet the guy

@pinoyampy151 the hard as F**k switch. i couldn't even get the damn cards to land on the pack lol

[@miamimagicians]

Believe me when I say your not going to find a talent like David Blaine in ANY magic dvd, IBM/SAM lecture, or convention! If I had a resturant I wouldn't hire Hollingworth, or Asher, or anyone but the elite. Blaine is diffently in a catagory with a Williamson, Malone, Copperfield, Henning. A lot of people are his fans, and the ratting's he pulls in show it! PS He does a really nice no get ready DL, I like it.

[@mikep508]

my bad its the split spade deck its a dollar cheaper but i continue to weep nonetheless

[@mikep508]

theres different cards a master deck differs from a slit-spade, which differs from a regular bicle deck. split-spade is the deck david made.

[@fadliomar5530]

He execute it silky smoothh

[@markspat5195]

Does any one know the name of that switching technique DB uses at 1:44?

[@tsunamipapi1343]

bro even after he explains it I still don’t get it 😭

[@ozzybhoii07]

thats true, but even if there was to be a gimmick once in a blue moon, he has the skill to make the audience so shocked that clean ups can be made in the blink of an eye

[@clarence22joseph]

2:04 trick by the way you can't do that using old deck of cards it must be a brand new deck of cards.

[@miamimagicians]

No your wrong! David Blaine has the highest ratted TV Magic Specials of all time ever period. He is VERY technically sound. Remember at the time he first appeared on TV NOBODY IN THE WORLD WAS DOING ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON TV!

[@modest_mind2526]

3:07 you can see him draw a different card from his deck

[@miamimagicians]

I never heard of the Blaine/Angel incident, thats very unfortunate! I actually get quite a number of gigs because someone saw Criss on TV! The laymen really adore everything he does and many laymen consider him to be the greatest ever. You have to respect the positive impact Criss has had on the general public. They really love him.

[@kingkrazy0wns]

I can do the one at 3:10

[@94Stoka94]

i understand most of this trick relays on speed , but how do u change number of cards like 6 to 9 , can some1 plz tell me

anyone know how he shoots the cards from hand to hand? realllyyy cool

A decade comments and just one person reply to it, I hope you find who can shot the card hand to hand 😆

Its the only DL i ever use. See some of my vidz I do it, and yes its hard as shit!

which double lift is that?

[@tirkentube]

your videos are unbearable to watch. you don't disguise your hidden movements very well at all, the music is god awful, and wipe that stupid smile off your face please.

well he didn't explain a shit lol

[@davencin10]

No he doesn't Criss Angels sign is kinda generic.

[@CryptoDrew]

Gotta clap for a good trick! Even if i know how its done.

[@Cabledeluz1977]

The way Criss Angel fooled everyone as David Blaine was amazing!

[@CuriousChronicles82275]

2 ace of hearts then do a quick change by double lifting the 4 of hearts and ace of hearts below it. Still leaving the 1st ace of hearts in the middle

[@helmut4lyfe]

What's the name of the move he does at 5:15

[@EhtaZUGGE]

+Cory Hall Shake change

[@CuriousChronicles82275]

Not sure but he switched the ripped card with an unripped same card.

Criss is really good, I don't understand all the hate he gets. He HAS done a lot for magic!

[@robichj]

Ok

[@rp1magic]

what is the name of the colour change he does at 1:42 with the four and the ace?

[@Vitaminnn07]

is he doing double lifting when he shows king of diamonds at 3:00 ?

[@olivercarlehed]

2:44 "btw, right now the world is shutting down, like all the newspapers ..." Can someone tell me what he was talking about?

[@cockatiel1235]

I might be wrong but 11+ years ago would've been during the 2008 recession which was probably why everything was shutting down

[@davencin10]

Man. David takes Impromptu to a new level! And even when you know these tricks they aren't easy. It takes years. (Me being an illusionist) Dan and Dave Buck are a bit over-hyped. They are best at flourishes yes, but tricks? And Cyril, he's the best at hiding gaffs and gimmicks. But David uses a normal deck to do this. He really is the best, for now ;)

[@CrazyCow500]

There are plenty of magicians that will do tricks around David Blaine.
