So... my guess. He has a real chalkboard on one side, but the reverse is a tablet. 2:48 he is not writing anything down. Once the final numbers are loudly announced, a backstage assistant transmits those numbers to the tablet ("chalkboard"). That's why there is a discrepancy in the handwriting, with a strike through the 7. Not everyone does that.

[@chongstarr7836]

Good pick up on the discrepancy on the 7, but I don’t know if it a tablet. I think you are on the right path though

I worked at a group home as a residential counselor that had 5 men with developmental disabilities. One of the men, considered nonverbal for the most part except in specific circumstances. As soon as he met a new person he'd ask for their birth date and with barely a pause would tell them facts about what day it was, how many Sundays there were before your next birthday, the weather on the day of your birth, several little and accurate other facts, those are the ones I remember the.most. No computer etc, just what was inside him. Everyone who checked up or knew these facts found him 100% accurate. It was uncanny especially considering he wasnt able to understand that stepping in front of a speeding truck wouldn't be advisable.

[@VirgoJams]

yep! I had the same situation too when I use to take care of a gentleman who was blind all their life and had a few developmental disabilities. BUT when it came to dates he could call it out on the spot! No matter what year or day! I was always fascinated! Also could play the piano and play complicated composers songs.

[@cryogeneric]

My best guess: As soon as Jimmy hands the envelope to an audience member, the number of days from the their birthdate to the current date is calculated and sent to the Lynx chalkboard by an assistant--7039. Everything from this point on is theater. He legitimately opens the calculator app at 4:38 but then pulls it back at 4:41 to ask everyone to open their calculators and we can't see what his right thumb is doing. This was misdirection to open a browser and navigate to a site that looks like the calculator. The first three birth years are entered and he asks Jimmy to press "equals" which gives us 6006. When he asks everyone press "plus" again, this instructs the app that any numbers entered now will automatically be equal to the difference needed to reach the target number 7039 (1033 in this example). This is why it was important to ask Jimmy ***not*** to look at his phone while he entered the numbers.

[@costyn19]

And the fact that he only make a reference about the first time they met, is just to mislead. Cause in the end was just a matter of the date on which that guy from the audience was born :))) and had nothing to do with with the date they met. Just pointing out his presence there at that moment but without obvious reason :)

[@iPrometheusQ]

I wonder whether I would keep my phone in my suit's pocket as the host of a late night show. Most likely, I wouldn't even have it inside the studio. I find it more plausible that Jimmy was asked to bring a phone along for this act. In this case it could also be any phone that was given to him for this purpose rather than HIS actual phone. In other words it is very likely that this is a manipulated prop, the magician knows where the fake app is located and is able to quickly open it

[@MyWayWendy]

Fantastic!!! Great presentation!!!

[@willenholly]

[@thesilvershining]

7:57 Why is nobody talking about how cute that is, Jimmy did the shy smile and everything. I cackled 😂

[@Musicmonk84]

This is my best guess for the trick. *cracks knuckles* 1. Dan writes down a prediction on the chalkboard - No he doesn't. He fakes it. The sound of chalk scraping is actually his cufflink. The board is still blank. The chalkboard is actually a type of tablet, maybe a kindle, with an overlay that he can write on. The screen is black underneath it. So he can write on it with real chalk and it will look like and work like a chalkboard, but the tablet beneath will also show an image through if he desires. And it can show through convincingly if it is similar to a kindle screen that has less glare properties. So the screen is prepared to display any number that Dan wishes. 2. Dan places the chalkboard in an envelope. - Yes 3. Dan asks Jimmy to randomly throw 4 balls into the audience. 4 random audience members catch the ball. - This is legit random unless Jimmy is in on it and throws it so convincingly to the exact right person who then fumbles it on to the guy beside her, who is eventually the guy he chose. The reaction seems so genuine when the ball fell in his lap, that I don't think it's faked. Amazing acting if it was faked. Also, plants in magic are so disappointing to me. It feels like a cop-out and I think many people might mirror that sentiment. Plants are lame. 4. Dan asks Jimmy to give the envelope to 1 of the 4 random people. He chooses the man in the center. - Again, I don't think this is staged. This is a legitimate choice. Dan takes note of the man in the center and... actually already knows his birth date! Okay sooo this is the hardest part to believe in. I'm not sure how else he would know that man's birth date, but I think he actually took time before the show to memorize the entire audience's birthdates. DON'T SCROLL AWAY LOL Ok, I know, I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. If you've watched the one-man show called "In and Of Itself" you could see how it's possible for someone to have a brilliant photographic memory like this. Dan is also a HIGHLY paid magician who is paid handsomely to do amazing things, so it makes sense that he would put a day's effort into memorizing faces and birthdays for this one gig. Where did he get the birthdates? The audience may have been required to fill out forms to be allowed entry. Maybe scan their ID. Photos taken. Those procedures might not be normal for Jimmy's show, but the magician may have required it this time to make the trick work. Maybe it's far-fetched but this is my best guess lol. So he knows this guy's birthdate and he calculates in his head "March 23rd, 2003 is 7039 days before today". The quick calendar math part is much more believable since he already showed a very similar trick at the beginning of this bit. So 7039 is now ready to be planted. 5.. Dan asks Jimmy to pull out his phone to make Jimmy do some math. - Yep, that's Jimmy's phone. Dan actually grabs Jimmy's phone to open the calculator app for him, which is totally unnecessary. No, Dan didn't switch it out for an identical copy. Dan is actually going to secretly mess with Jimmy's phone. He turns the phone screen away from the camera and speaks to the audience while he uses some awesome sleight of hand to go to the phone's browser, then to a special website that mimics the standard phone calculator. But it's a trick calculator that Dan placed on this website just for this trick. How does Dan do this sleight of hand so well and convincingly while not looking? Well, you can see him looking down at least once to confirm what he is pressing. The website's domain could have a simple address like 7z4 dot org or something like that. But that's all of the sleight of hand it takes. Just open a browser, type the address and bam you're there. Oh yeah and he also typed "7039" into that trick calculator to set it up for actual fake math. This will force Jimmy's random number to be the exact number he needs. This will ALSO IMMEDIATELY TYPE "7039" ON THE CHALKBOARD IN THE ENVELOPE because the tablet is connected to the trick calculator website. Smart. 5. Dan asks the birth years of the 3 people that Jimmy did not choose to add them up on the calculator resulting in 6006. - This is legit. We all did this at home. Those 3 people aren't actors either. 6. Dan asks Jimmy to type out a totally random 4th, 4-digit number to add to the total. That number is 1033 resulting in 7039. - This is where the trick calculator does its final work. Dan asks jimmy to randomly type 4 numbers on the screen, but what is not shown on TV is where Jimmy is actually looking when he hits the 4 random numbers. Jimmy is probably looking up at Dan while he is typing these numbers. The directors might have cut out that specific direction of "don't look at the calculator when you type these numbers to make sure it's random" to maybe save time on the broadcast. It's not essential to cut that direction of broadcast out for the trick, but that may have happened. So Jimmy taps the calculator pad four times and the resulting number was 1033 REGARDLESS of what Jimmy actually typed, because Dan PLANTED 7039 into the calculator earlier and the calculator was setup to make sure the 4th number would be 7039 MINUS the previous total of 6006. Watch the footage again and see if it looks like Jimmy typed 1033. It doesn't right? It's also possible that Jimmy's own hand was covering the top numbers when he typed them OR the app wasn't showing these numbers as he typed them for some reason until he hit the 4th number. This was great at convincing us as well since we're all doing the math at home and getting the same answer. Also, important to note the camera angle here is below the phone so we don't see the actual numbers popping up as Jimmy types. Trickery. 7. Dan confirms that all of those 4 numbers added up equal 7039. Dan then asks the audience member to reveal the chalkboard prediction and it's 7039! - Yup, Thank you trick calculator website 8. Dan then asks the audience member to reveal his birthday, March 23rd 2003. It's revealed that that birthday is 7039 days before today! - Yup, a combination of extreme memorization skills, a trick website, a trick chalkboard, and some sleight of hand and misdirection. Many props to Dan. If he really did all of the memorizations that I suppose he did, then he has put many, many years into becoming a memorization master. Yet even with this great skill on hand, he dares not to publicize it for the sake of a fantastic trick. Well done, Dan! In conclusion, go watch "In and Of Itself". It's streaming somewhere.

[@richl5663]

Great analysis. It's possible that Jimmy Fallon was somewhat in on it and tried to throw the ball specifically to a number of plants, each of whom had a birthday that Dan knew (or, for which he just had to memorize a specific 4-digit number for). Not all of the throws would land on the right person, but one would. However, I agree that a magician of Dan's caliber would probably not leave it to chance, and he may we'll have done it as you said.

[@reillylawrence7129]

I think you're the closest I've seen here, but I don't think you're quite there with point 6. It looks to me like Jimmy is looking at the phone. I think you are basically right, but that Jimmy is in on it.

[@wZem]

You wouldn't really need the memorization part. There could simply be an assistant backstage who has a list with all audience members' birthdays. That person controls the number on the chalkboard and on the calculator. I saw another comment that said he uses a prop called the lynx blackboard. Great trick, though. Very cool effect.

[@TB-up4xi]

1. at 2:46 there is no way he is writing 7039 the movements are totally wrong I suspect he hasn't written anything . 2. The lady in the audience who's birth year is 1999 doesnt catch the ball at all? maybe just a red-herring. 3. There are devices called LYNX blackboards - they are linked by bluetooth - if you write something on one board in special magnetic chalk it sends it via bluetooth to the other - you can have the receiving device load a pre-loaded images or replicate excatly. 4. at 2:57 "Im going to place the prediction inside this envelope so nobody can see it" for a good reason - he hasn't actually written anything on the board 5. He makes sure the assistant in the audience is holding up the envelope so there is no bluetooth signal interference between the big LYNX board he writes 7039 on and the smaller LYNX board that replicates the number from a pre-loaded image I suspect as it's not exactly the same.

[@Syclone0044]

Imagine the risks of trying to rely on Bluetooth for real-time data transmission from the stage to the audience though, even worse if the audience all still has their phones on them (doubtful, I bet they are required to surrrender them before they enter) causing a storm of radio transmissions in the room

Put it in the envelope. 4. throw balls in audience 5. give envelope to one audience member. Assistant will now go ahead and figure out the person's birthday; studio knows it based on seat/ticket sales 6. Ask Jimmy to get out phone again and to unlock it. After Jimmy unlocks it, the magician TAKES THE PHONE, opens the calculator app 7. Magician starts telling a long story about how everybody can participate with; while he's telling the story, he opens the phone's browser, fills in an URL that shows/runs a fake calculator app, controlled by the assistant through the internet 8. Fill in the three years and add them together; 9. Magician needs 'one more number'; it will be random; he asks Jimmy to randomly enter the numbers; however the numbers are NOT random, the fake calculator app that's connected to the internet, will give specific numbers, the assistant came up with; which will bring the total to the number of days of the person that's holding the envelope. ... 10.

The trick is Jimmy knew the number, so all he had to do is some subtraction from the current value on the calculator (supposing no one among the audience was born after 2020, this trick should always work...). Now, the beauty of a magic trick comes in when people can't figure it out, that's what makes it better, so in my opinion it was an average trick, but of course some people will find it amazing.

He wrote nothing on that little chalkboard before putting it in the envelope. Notice how he was so careful to make sure nobody could see that there was nothing scribbled on it before placing it in the envelope. It's actually a "chalkboard" of sorts that doubles as a tablet. Someone backstage did the math on the fly and sent the sum figure to the tablet, which renders the final tally in a font that looks like it's handwritten in chalk. Still very entertaining.

2:50 just by the movement of the hand, that’s not 7039

[@kevngu7256]

That guy was 18 year old . Wow how incredible

All the kids who said their ages were 16-19 years old. 2003, 2004, 2006.

[@TheGenTatsu]

My birthday is September 19th. But so is Jimmy’s, and that’s why he picked that date. Lol

[@TheBoogerJames]

For anyone trying to figure out the trick, here's a hint. The numbers written on the small chalkboard at 7:30 and the numbers we saw Dan write directly on the big chalkboard at 7:00 are not the same handwriting.

[@krrishgoyal6567]

Was going to comment the same

[@epicmo806]

I also have seen that but still have no idea how he did it😁

[@rsoe9158]

You don't know how he did it too.

[@TheBoogerJames]

@@rsoe9158 I don't know for sure, but here's how I think it works. When everyone says thier birthday, it is being recorded so an assistant can review it and get the birthday of everyone in the audience. Jimmy throws 4 random balls, this part truly is random. They add up 3 of the birth years. The calculator app is a fake app that can be controlled by the assistant. The assiant adds the last guys birthday and figures out the "random" number needed to make the trick work. They make that number come up on the calculator no matter what Jimmy types. You can see in the close up, it looks like he's hitting 1111, but that's not what it comes back. That is why he is supposed to do it without looking. The small chalkboard is an e-ink display and the assistant writes the number on the chalkboard that makes the trick work. Thus why the handwriting doesn't match. Still clever AF and got me the first time I watched it.

[@relientkenny]

the questlove instagram magic trick was the CRAZIEST one to me😂😂😂

[@Matrix_Trader]

I usually try to figure these out but I give up and I have no clue! This was amazing!

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

Agreed, magic tricks on late night shows are always fun to try to figure out! But sadly, if you see a chalkboard and especially the iPad secondary chalkboard, then you're not in for a treat, you're in for a store-bought magic trick (with personal touches of course). Modern day magic has become cheap. Anyway, Corden's show just had a mentalist on a few days ago, his show was also entertaining, but no electronics and apps involved. More fun to figure out.

[@LordCommandor]

You forgot to put the word simply in front of amazing 😂

[@f25mart]

Quest-treek? What is he calling him? Lol 5:12

[@SaminSays]

Quest and Tariq lol, the other guy who is on his phone

[@dazenguile4215]

I think it was more “Quest, Tariq?”

[@rainman7992]

this was unbelievable on so many levels. how is this even possible.

[@AbsolAhm]

Well the first and last part are actually constant. The shows date and the date he met jimmy in that hotel is obviously fixed. It'll always be a difference of 7039 days. So he had already thought that i need to come to a solution of how to get to 7039 days with the audience

[@TheVarietyProject]

@@AbsolAhm that's actually really well thought through, yeah so he got the 7039 then reversed engineered the outcome, kinda like a comedian writing a punchline then coming up with the jokes story and build up after.. like this explanation ahmad!

[@AbsolAhm]

@@TheVarietyProject thank you :-)

[@brianwallace9298]

But the 7039 days wasn’t the time passed since they first met, it was the time passed since that random audience members date of birth…

[@AbsolAhm]

@@brianwallace9298 it is, you can calculate it yourself

[@tapmaan6150]

Dan always looks like he needed a shower but put on a suit instead.😂

[@emilymccasland5526]

This has to be some mathematical trick lol

[@Outofbox11]

That trick is nutty

[@norcodaev]

Wait a minute, as someone who ALWAYS uses the ‘french style’ number 7 (with the little line in it like on the small chalkboard), I find it very hard to believe that this magician guy didn’t write the number 7 on the big chalkboard in the same way…almost as if someone else, somehow, wrote 7039 on the small chalkboard. Very suspicious indeed. 🧐🤔

[@54mm50]

Damn your onto something

[@FIGHT101TV]

He wrote it right in front of you tho..No camera tricks here buddy!

[@Balaxfilms]

But they didn’t show the guy for a long time

[@CallMeMicahT]

Very interesting. However it’s just a math trick. For some reason that’s what “magicians” do now

[@norcodaev]

@@FIGHT101TV But did he though? We didn’t see what he (supposedly) wrote on the small chalkboard before he put it in the envelope.

It doesn’t explain how 7039 plus a random birthday = June 30, 2022

[@a.b.4052]

@@tradeo8899 Jimmy is a stooge on this one. Thats how the trick is done. There is one other thing going on but i wont talk about that other then to say it involves the whole audience.

[@WazoolTV]

@@tradeo8899 one of two things can explain that. First, you need to understand that the studio knows the birthdate of everyone in the audience. 1. Jimmy is in on it and has a producer tell him what number to "randomly" type in the calculator 2. The magician uses a fake calculator program by opening Safari on Jimmy's phone and quickly typing in a URL (he has time to do this when they are joking about Questlove using his phone). The fake calculator is actually controlled by a producer backstage who knows the birthdates and has already done the math.

[@WazoolTV]

Right at 2:53 there's one frame where you can see the chalkboard as he turns. There's nothing on there except some bright white thing in the corner... does he have a camera or something in there or someone sending him a secret message on some portable device? Does he right there slip the device back into his pocket as he puts the chalk down? Let's go guys; let's figure this out.
