A closed fist and a $10 bill: David Blaine shocks with magic tricks

[@viresproductions]

There's magicians, there's massive gap, then there's David Blane. Truly a 1 of 1, not sure we will ever see another one with such insane talent and deception

[@jackdanielss]

Copperfield is the GODFATHER

[@robertfreeman8614]

Meh.. I’ve seen better. David is just more famous.

[@viresproductions]

@@robertfreeman8614 famous for a reason lol if anybody did the stunts David does consistently, they’d be huge.. kinda the way the internet/the world works these days.

[@zionkid420]

@@viresproductions Problem is that the STUNTS that made him famous mostly involved feats of skill and determination. Not magical techniques.

[@thegatewaytoprestige]

@@zionkid420 Nah, what made him famous is he's the one who really started the street magic craze, back with his first street magic special. People were utterly convinced he was in touch with demons and spirits. The STUNTS you speak of is where YOU learned about him...most people knew from his multiple tv specials (which led to the many Chris Angels of the world that copied him)

[@96Shalom]

His casual demeanor is what makes it 10x better

[@JasonTylerRicci]

I was an instant fan of David since his first street magic special. Still am. Always will be

[@eladreltuc]

OK, now take your right hand and raise it in the air facing you like you're stopping somebody walking towards you. Close your baby finger, now your thumb, now your pointer finger and finally your ring finger

[@smokeyfrog210]

Haha, "cool" same here. I love David Blaines' magic and his style. I'm still not convinced it's just an illusion, this dude is straight up magical.

[@raytruck5799]

That man is Satan

[@DanNicholsWatercolour]

I love how his ‘mistakes’ are a subterfuge for an even more mind blowing trick

[@ProphetNewYork]

Everyone always thinks David Blaine cheats with camera cuts... I met him at my middle school over 10 years ago and I can CONFIRM that this dude really does tricks like this.... I remember being absolutely stunned... he told me to THINK of a card and he guessed it on the first try. He then walked away with a straight face and I was absolutely mind blown. truly a legend

[@samarubi]

But then there's 3:27

[@erikrhodes6324]

There's another cut at 4:49 (obvious if you listen to the audio) . I know that trick and it's done by having the person name the card before you give the instructions to the person.

[@anonanon8611]

@@erikrhodes6324 mnemonica...I am a working performer and you can actually jazz with having named after. The bottom of the deck gives you tons of outs. I am not saying its impossible he cut and reordered the trick however knowing people on his creative team, its unlikely. He does a lot of pre-show but very rarely completely changes the effect itself. 99.99% of what David does can be experienced the same way in person.

[@erikrhodes6324]

@@anonanon8611 I suppose that's true, maybe using something like Maxim, but I've seen videos of him perform this a lot and he always does it the same way. Uses ACAAN a fair amount, which he couldn't do this way. But maybe I'll think about doing it your way now 😜 Is the extra work and potentially diminished effect really outweighed by having them name it afterward? As in, does it enhance the trick that much to be worth it? Also the difference in audio makes it obvious it's been edited

[@adamblackman6660]

It would seem that if tricks were in production editing, there be a lot of people calling him out, and word would spread. He’s done magic for a lot of famous people, who have big egos and big platforms.

[@PatrickMcF]

David is always a class act. Even when he's just having fun he blows your mind. The Queen and the three of diamonds is an example. He is humble and polite with everyone he meets. Yet to be unimpressed. ❤️

[@rg8438]

Go to 1:15 and look at the card. It's already there. Notice David persuades him towards the Queen prior to him pulling the queen. When he rifles through the deck a 3 of diamonds is setup to pause the most to the viewer planting the idea of that specific card in the kid's mind.

[@jd0879]

@@rg8438 Dude stfu lol. That trick could easily get fkd up if it was based on that methodology. No way is he leaving it up to psychological chance

[@rg8438]

​@@jd0879 You obviously didn't look at the card before the kid grabbed it when David was tapping on it. Magicians indeed use manipulation and subliminal tricks to divert or persuade their audience which you can very verify by a few seconds on Google search. David Blaine can do it because he has an arsenal of card tricks and years of experience to easily switch to another magic trick if someone makes a different choice than anticipated. See what delusional arrogance gets you. So quick to tell someone "stfu" when you're wrong.

[@aaronweiser5421]

Those people are called stooges....

[@Lance514]

What a treat to see him perform , especially inside his own studio

[@wrenlinwhitelight3007]

Blaine confuses professional Magicians. I've been doing magic professionally for 28 years and I thought I could easily spot every nuance. David Blaine will always remain a complete mystery to us.

[@_WeDontKnow_]

the conclusion ive come to at this point is, reality isn't what we think it is and David is tapped into some stuff science doesn't know about yet lol. some stuff is too unexplainable on the other hand, some of his explainable tricks are so well done. just a talented hardworking person

[@nikkikiska]

As a professional you have probably figured out many of Blaine's tricks; the others have a participant or bystander who's in on it.

[@andrew9913]

David Blaine is one of the greatest entertainers of modern times. He turned magic from stage flamboyance seen like the 80s and early 90s to guerrilla magic/ street magic that can be performed anywhere. I love this guy lol

[@billrobertson5895]

He’s also a hack. Nearly all is stuff is gimmicked tricks or camera cuts

[@andrew9913]

@@billrobertson5895 You mean he’s not actually magic?

[@billrobertson5895]

@@andrew9913 no I meant he uses gimmicks instead of sleight of hand. Self working tricks anyone can do with little or no practice.

Yeee. Fellow Jewish brother too. Hehe. My dad is also from New York. I saw the Towers from the plane that year when traveling for my cousins' Bar Mitzvah (I didn't want to do mine as I'm not into that, spiritual, anti-religion). Inside job.

Always a fan of David Blaine.. All tricks were really good but the one that stood out was how the first pile of face down cards magically turned face up at 3:27 😂😂

Interesting video cut at 3:26. There's one face-down pile at the edge of the desk, but after the video cut, it seems to be mixed in with everything else.

[@pacerdawn5512]

Amazing! In the "Magical $10 Bill", when pushing the cards into one pile, at 3:18 the brunette over the cards pushing them together, but at 3:27 the camera switches and suddenly the red head is the one over the cards pushing them into one pile, and one of the piles has flipped face up!

Yeah seems a little fishy

[@billnoll]

I only watched the first one, but it’s easy to figure out. We didn’t see it, but he transferred a decal on her hand, probably by holding it on the previous illusion. From there it’s just “multiple outs” until he winds up with a Club. Do you want the club for me or her? He actually picked the wrong answer, so David used the “magic transfer” effect.
