David Blaine's Card Tricks Revealed

[@Punditube]

Love it how he explains the whole 9 yards and people are still looking' at him like HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

[@zaviusfirerave]

+Punditube I guess the concept is still alien to people who are not used to handling playing cards. Just like lay people don't realize that merely cutting the deck doesn't exactly change the order of the deck.

[@GoldCaesar]

It's because he incepted the f out of those people. The dude kept drawing 8's and then David said "if you went one more or one less it's a 6 or jack, but he drew an 8 so we are good" and they are all thinking... "But what if he didn't" Card trick within a card trick..

[@NoNewfriendss]

@@GoldCaesar It takes a lot of psychology and the ability to control the situation. I've seen another card trick where someone started asking a question and if they should do something else and he quickly grabbed the cards and did a big wingspan with his arms and said "So we got the card, and now what I'll have you do is......" It was really smooth and I wouldn't have noticed if I haven't been watching him a lot.

[@CastleMisha]

[@NoNewfriendss]

He's basically using some psychology on them, dividing the decks, setting an indicator card at 8 cards away so he knows he can count 1-7 then go, now turn over the card in your hand. How he interlaced or seperated the colors I can't remember. I think he did a card trick at the end to troll the group.

[@Bonescratcher]

@@NoNewfriendss you didn’t understand the explanation of the trick

[@fdsfjhjtjtea6497]

he's correcting an error of +1 on both sides by telling you which card to pick either the next card or the current, this allows him to control the result very easily since it's either a 9 or an 8, and the card will be a 9 or 8 if it's an odd card

Stick the indicator cards up their asses

[@rafidparvez935]

beat the fuck out of them they a pussy

[@tabletalkreviews]

I believe that you just switch which card they flip over. If it is odd, you flip the top card from the pile they dealt face down. When even the face up card is not 8 or 9, but the top card still in their hands is either 8 or 9. The number of cards dealt out dictates which pile to flip from for the indicator card. He kinda skimped on that part of the explanation, but that is why he asks them to be sure so they don't just flip the card from the pile they dealt down. Make sense?

[@spookyencounters9392]

I can tell you how the levitation in the street trick was done for his TV special but you're gonna be disappointed. For the audience in the street, he's just doing this very simple effect of standing up on 9ne foots tip toe and the foot next to it you raise the heel up at the same time. It gives the illusion of a tiny levitation, of about an inch or so. That's whst the street audiences are reacting to. The actual shot of him rising high up in the air was shot later or earlier in the week when no one was around, using g a wire system. Then it's edited into the final cut. It's quite fraudulent really. So no one is actually seeing that high levitation on the wires but the crew. TV editing in other words.

[@legolas6786]

David Blaine is a legend among other magicians

[@mjacksonisperfect]

l still want to know about the harrison ford one...

[@Nola213]

Ford was in on it. He "acted" very surprised didn't he? Well he's an actor after all.

[@FractalZero]

Ford wasn't in on it. The very fact that people resort to that belief is testament to the lengths a magician will go to deceive the spectator. Procuring a card from a fruit is a known trick, and it requires a LOT of preparation.

[@Scarecrow545]

***** Actually, it really doesn't. The card in the fruit wasn't the part that has me stumped, he probably just palmed it in. The fact that he knew what card Harrison would pick and had it removed from the deck before the fact was what got me.

[@Nola213]

Scarecrow545 Goggle "Card Forces" or just look for tutorials on you tube.There's plenty of ways to force a certain card on a person. Then you have that same card (a duplicate already in the fruit. The part I think Ford may have been in on was the piece of fruit he chose. I guess they could have put identical cards in every piece of fruit on the counter. Or they replaced every piece of fruit on the counter with ones with the pre selected "force card in them. Then swapped them all while DB distracted Ford. Anything is possible.

[@Scarecrow545]

Nola213 I know what a force is. The fact that he asked Harrison to verbally tell him a card without his ever touching the deck pretty much makes it clear he couldn't have forced one (unless there was other stuff said or done off camera that we haven't seen). As for getting the card in the fruit, like I said, more likely he just palmed it in as he was separating the two halves.

[@scumbagscott9900]

Basically on both decks, you are telling them to reveal a card based on the fact if they drew out an odd or an even amount. Say the first person dealing, (which is the second half of the deck) delt 12, because it is even, you want them to reveal the card that was to be delt next. That way, they would pull out one of the 8's or 9's that you set you secretly set in a certain order in the deck. If it were odd, you would want them to reveal the card that had last been delt because it would reveal one of the 8's or 9's that secretly set in a certain order. Now since you put the chosen card (like the "Ace of Spades" in the first example) 8 cards after in the deck, you will be able to convince people that the 8 or 9 was an indicator of where the chosen card was in the first deck. If they drew a 9, you would have them place 8 cards in your hand and then reveal the chosen card which is next in the deck. If they drew an 8, you would have do the same, and no one would think "oh but the card was a 9 not an 8", BECAUSE 8 is still a relevant number in the trick because you had them place 8 cards in your hand.

[@michaellombard3524]

"its very good, Its a damn good one" lmao this trick is amazing. Took me like three replays to understand his explanation. Really cool trick though.

[@magicsantos2681]

Verry nice done! 👌👍😉👏

[@nglyo]

People that are confused on the second part. Blaine proposesly makes each even or odd card a 8 or 9 (so if the 2nd person choose a card that more than the 16th card, it wouldnt work). So when he asks the 2nd person to "stop", he can either choose the card that the person placed down or the next card, which will always be 8 or 9. The card the lady put on was the 9th position on her spilt, so he can say either the 8th or 9th position is her card (flip 8 cards and then say next card is hers or flip 8 cards and then say the 9th is hers).

[@markherring3513]

So what does he do when someone goes further than the 16th card?!?!? How does he correct it?

[@Ban_Usury_Worldwide]

Really neat editing Esquire

[@magicianmunar]

the sound effects at the beginning and in the end.. it was like a music from a superman movie lolss

[@s3cr3tsquar333]

Great video editing

[@oneeco]

I think the trick really happens when he explains it. Because regardless they keep landing on the correct card each time with 2 other cards they can't use.

[@mantorok09]

@MegaAlena1234 No, watch when he does it the first time, after the guy is done counting out the cards onto that guys hand, David asks him if he's sure, and he says no and counts one more, then David takes the card from the counters hand, not from the pile he just dealt. So, since every OTHER card is an 8 or 9, the card on top of either pile will be an 8 or 9, you just have to be sure to take the top card from the correct pile.

[@aerialtp3811]

Those people were so clueless. I bet not one person in that room understood what he was talking about haha

[@kingair4774]

At 4:11, let's say he stop at 10 an even number, then you would ask him if he is sure or wants to change his mind to ensure he doesn't flip the even card. Then you flip over the 11th card as if his 10 count was meant to reveal the 11th card. The same concept as the final part of the trick. It's a really easy trick but can be effective.

[@Bonescratcher]

What if he stopped at the 3rd or 4th card?

[@Dalisu87]

i dont get it

[@mantorok09]

@JamesGrant700 Take the top card from the OTHER pile. If they count out an odd number of cards, the 8/9 will be on top of the pile that they just dealt (i.e. the guy's hand that was used as a table) but if they stop on an even number take from the top of the pile that the counter is still holding (i.e. the dude in the sports coat) at any given time there will be an 8/9 on top of one of the decks just take from the correct deck. It's all about counting and PRETENDING you're choosing randomly

[@lordeddardstark4471]

Those confused with the 8 and 9 thing here is a simple step by step instruction, way hope u get it you remember David placed one random card between 8s and 9s like eg: 8 hearts, A clubs, 8 diamonds, 3 hearts, 8 spades, 7 diamonds, 8 clubs, 2 hearts, 9 clubs, J diamond, 9 hearts, Q spades, 9 spades, 4 club, 9 diamond, K diamond Memorise the pattern and say the dude starts dropping cards lets say in the sequence from the example I gave (start from 8 hearts) stops somewhere at 2 hearts (see my example) now U know you cant use the last card he dropped right? so what you do.. you make the next card (the last one he didn't drop) which is a 9 clubs (see example) and Yes u positioned it in a way that after 8 cards you tell them to show the card right? but since its 9 just say pick the 9th card. Again if it was an 8 then say pick the card after 8 cards,

[@ivanlucin8975]

[@abhi1110]

0:40 the girl standing behind, her forehead is brighter than my future

[@MrReminiss]

You would make the same move as the reveal of the card...So if they stop on the "even" card, you have them turn over the card with the odd card on top (this might be the pile being dealt on the table or the pile in the hands of the spectator)...For instance, if they were dealing and they stop with the 8 or 9 in their hands (you know where the 8 or 9 will be) then you turn over that pile, if they stop and the 8 or 9 is in the pile that has been dealt then you turn over that one and go from there

[@RyansSynthwaveGuitar]

[@artnos]

For people who dont get it, i had to watch it twice. David Blame plants the Ace/Target Card, 8 spots away in the first deck. Then in the other hand he is controlling the outcome on what card gets drawn to get an 8 or 9. And he will use that to count in the first deck.

5:10 disappearing trick

[@Tobemeghan]

I have a problem with this trick. Since when they take part deck it isn't a exact science so there are 4 or 5, etc. extra cards at the end of the mixed deck and it never fails when the person is putting down the key cards they always wait until the end to call it quits and by then there are no more 8-9s left but just "extra" cards.

[@TheAaronmcmahon11]

That's amazing. I still barely know how this is done.

[@SnarkFish]

@NeoBlackProtocall you keep count. if he deals out an odd number, use the one of the top that he dealt out to. if he stops on an even number. use the next card in his hand. same concept as 'if you choose 8 that's good, but 9 is even better' - multiple outs

[@dhhawalnandrajog]

Its actually his cool dude demeanor which is so off putting, he is extremely intelligent and always his mind is working on how to make the trick possible. But yet his outlook is so relaxed that you wouldn't think a person that calculative and smart is interacting with you.

[@MasterV321]

than u say turn the first card (from the pile in his hand)and it will be an indicator card, if its an odd number than he turns the card from the pile that is not in his hand

[@chrispecoraro5776]

So I get it but what if they go past the first 16 cards then you're screwed...

[@temirlankasmaliev9322]

that's not gonna happen because all the people around you are waiting for you to stop. So you have a higher chance of picking a card in first 10. This is why the bigger the public the easier the trick.

[@BronzDano]

Chris Pecoraro you could use the jokers, leave them on top, and if by chance they pick one the the top two cards just say " well those don't count, the card has to have a value, my mistake. I forgot those were in there" Or use 9s and 10 and face cards stating that the face cards are all worth 10....just an idea.

Its awesome, the key here is that on 3:11, he places whatever your card is on the 8th place of that deck. Then on the 2nd half of the deck there are four 8's and four 9's in the odd positions eg: 2 8* 4 9* 5 8* 11 8* 7 9* etc... So, as long as they stop at 16 (or 17) then there's bound to be an 8 or a 9 there. and voila!

[@calpoker21]

I realize this is 8yrs later but in case anyone else is having the same issue try pushing over 4 cards at a time twice this way it doesn't look like you're counting one by one which is very obv it's casual and the heat should be off the deck and your hands as they're all focused on the selected card being shown around

The counting of the cards is for the magician/performer, because he knows where the 8's/9's are.. As he said, odd ones on the pile are the que cards (indicator card) 8's/9's.

He explains it at the very end of the video. Basically you keep track of the cards when they are being dealt. So at all times, there will be an 8 or 9 available in which you would instruct the person to flip (either on top of the deck or on their palms).

[@kevintorres8810]

I understand the trick but how does he know they well stop on an 8 or nine? he said it himself one more card and it could have been a 6

[@NeffRapsTV]

then hed pick the card on top of the deck instead of the ones he placed down already. i had this question too

[@dr._rayan2807]

look you need to count like if you start putting the cards from the second position of the deck then it would be on a even number but the spectator puts odd cards down then you pick from the portion of his hand thus being the even number

[@bradmellor6494]

When the cards are dealt in the had (the pack with the 8 and 9) you think to yourself the cards being dealt are either yes or no. For each card deal the swap which it is, starting with no. So say they place a card down, you say in your head "no". Then yes, then no etc. When they stop is when you make the decision. If it's a yes they finish on, it's the card they dealt. If not, it's the card on the packet that hasn't been death you want

[@exsxpx1]

because he prepares the cue cards(8 and 9's) and puts them in the odd number count position. So when the person stops his count like on a even count like 10, he would then ask him to turn over the next card which is 11(odd) in the count which is where a cue card will be found.

Very cool! Im gonna have to remember this one

[@ThePubliusValerius]

What if the guy wanted to count down to the very last card in his hand and it was a King for instance? He's way past the 8s and 9s - what then?

[@Atrain009]

ThePubliusValerius You knock him out and stare at everyone else in silence.

[@jeanustin]

Thank you David for your generosity!

[@schoolsuxsify]

A magician never reveals their tricks.

[@SufyanAK]

Its a garbage for him.

[@Dante3085]

How's that possible?

[@ChristopherWanha]

Unless you are Penn & Teller

[@vidmaster7]

Where did you hear that? I've been a magician for many years and we reveal tricks all the time. We do NOT reveal them during performances (except Penn & Teller) or to casual observers who just want to know how it's done. Posting them on KZbin allows those of us who want to learn to do so without spending a fortune.

[@imicca]

u kidding? THEIR trick, not other tricks that he might have learned

[@kikook222]

I guess if you stop on an even number you go for the card on the top of the dealing deck while if it's odd you go for the card on the deck you set the cards on.

[@jasonlombert]

what?????

[@FlippantGamesHD]

I already knew this trick and it is definently one of the better ones

[@viphackerxxx]

and imagine the guy put more then 16 cards in the table when i ask if he want put more cards? (sry for my inglish)

[@colddiverful]

+LePk Adrenaline card tricks is luck!! its improvising on the road... 16 cards are a loootttt when he is at 12 try to get him to stop soon

[@2AForever-wi8yj]

+LePk Adrenaline when he gets to about 11 you say something like ANYTIME

[@viphackerxxx]

thanks dude's

[@chrisrave]

Dave is such an awesome dude.

[@ramsaybolton3728]

As long as they don't count higher than like 16 your good.

[@ncripzx]

just dont pick a smart ass xD

[@saintswhodat8008]

Mike J something I do is put 7's at the end and if they go that far then I do a double lift ( lift 2 cards as 1) then let them continue counting

[@ramsaybolton3728]

Saints WhoDat Smart!

BTW when I was younger I was in the hospital and a magician came by. He did a card trick a few times in front of us in a sofa after the stage show. I thought about how he did it, later that night I woke up and I knew. The trick was that he handed you "18" cards and asked you to count them. 18. Then he asked you to sit on them or in some way make it impossible for him to reach them. Then he added three magic cards. Then he asked you to count them again. 21. Did this trick on a stage once. Worked.

[@581mitch]

don't watch this stoned ...i'll be awake for hours thinking about this bollocks ..i need to sleep now

[@joshandrews36]

581mitch just did and I'm so confused

[@axsdeny]

What happens if the person counting out the cards goes past the 16 preset cards in the indicator deck?

[@eken81]

To quote "Big Bang Theory", then you would be "attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis" Screwed. If i remember correctly he asked her to cut a little less then half, half being 52/2=26. Then if you calculate that the counter wont count to the end of his deck you should be in the clear.
