Immaculate technique aside, Mr. Nelson always exudes a calm and gentlemanly demeanor. In the words of Leipzig “...fooled by a gentleman”.

[@starofjustice1]

Probably the best way to be fooled.

[@Trickboy36]

@@starofjustice1 Plus how can you go wrong in that tuxedo.

[@sebastianblickby4437]

Very good! The way sleight of hand magic should be performed.

[@YANN69440]

[@jyesucevitz]

Kostya, did you watch this before your first appearance on Fool Us? ;]

[@superchef78]

The opening bit is called Too Many Cards or the ambitious classic?

[@miamimagicians]

Larry Jennings, ambitious, classic

[@ghostdu8315]

What is the brand of his cards ? The back looks like Aviator but on the Ace of spade it seems to be written "Bicycle"

[@damiannieman2870]

Bicycle Racer back cards.

[@szymonnowak4628]

Just for once, I'd like to have it explained how he does that... Incredibly elegant as it is...

[@therealBocaStudios]

It funny…his slights aren’t clean at all and his methods are the simplest there is, yet he’s the close up of the year. It shows you how far preforming has come..because the art form has become more important than the deception.

[@Viper300000000000000]

Looking like chuck Norris of magic

[@nickroberts-xf7oq]

Not to be confused with the con man "J Earl Nelson" from Tennessee/Virginia.

[@jyesucevitz]

"....regarded magicians of the era." what era?I'm guessing the 70's, but don't see a performance date.

[@michaeleasler5249]

Late 70s to early 80s.

[@beatz04]

The first trick would have been easier to follow with both black and red cards.

[@jdssurf]

wtf i mean realy

[@DK-fk7mx]

Those aces are doube sided

[@nickroberts-xf7oq]

W 😮 W ! How many times did you have to watch to come to THAT conclusion ?!? 😅
