[@MurkedStat]

I've examined this for days, i figured out the first two acts, but i literally can not, for the life of me, figure out how he got the card got in the envelope. Act 1 (chalk board) - Jimmy is using a smart pen, this tracks the strokes and hand movements when you are writing. A lot of engineers and artists use it. He linked up the pen with the board to a device that copies the strokes on the board. If you notice, the way Jimmy writes his P and Y in "spicy" are unique, and they are both the same on the board and on the card. Act 2 (card disappearing) - advanced staged card cut and slight of hand, 2:15. The card went into his sleeve/pocket. Act 3 (card in the envelope) - ?????????? Good trick sir, good trick. I literally can not logically piece that together. Bravo

[@canyumusak994]

Same thing man - guy is a stooge (only guy in the audience which is clothed smart-casually) and has a second envelope with a printer of some kind. Cards against humanity are all black and white, the ink has the exact same color - so perfect for a printer. I just don't know how they transferred the information which card got chosen. This may be due to a force?

Lol everyone trying to say how it's been done. None of you are even close. LED chalk board, seriously? At 0:11 he tosses the card on the ground then the guy picks it up of the ground? Lol. People. This guy is a magician amongst other magicians on the Internet. He knows he would short his career if he was that simple, sloppy and easy to figure out. Other magicians are watching his every move. The trick that he does is an old one. But the deliver is rather new. And incredible. The fact that he leaves it up to Jimmy to pick a word, debunks everyone here. And if the guy had to tell Jimmy what to write before hand Jimmy probably wouldn't have him back on the show for not being that amazing. The guy keeps his tricks to himself. You guys are not Penn and Teller. Sooooo, stop already. By all means throw out theories, but don't say "this is how he did it" you can say "I think this is how he did it." You insult your own intelligence when making these claims.

[@CreepersdoesMC]

[@rowelle]

Thank you for your comment! Exactly how I feel! I'm guessing you've dabbled in magic. From this entire set, the only thing I caught was the moment he "stole" the card. I'm still trying to figure out how it ended up in the envelope.

[@leynd000]

pause it. its not a card u fucking dumbass he took out the plastic that covers the sticky part that seals the envelope.

[@jacksul2087]

I think he got the card in the envelope by jimmy having it go down his sleeve, somehow pulling the card back up behind the envelope, thats why he didn't show everyone the right side of the envelope

[@BlueAndGold31]

I agree, and I hear you. Everyone likes to be an armchair quarterback and try to "debunk" the myth of magic. That being said, let me echo what some comments are already saying and get in on this annoying "debunking." I don't know the rest, but the way that the word "spicy" was on the chalkboard was with a LYNX chalkboard. It's a very real thing. All you need is to put a tablet inside that table where Jimmy writes the word, and a machine prints the exact same writing onto the chalkboard. If you want to see it, check out Mystique Factory's LYNX blackboard, going for the low rate for $3700. www.mystiquefactory.com/products/lynx-blackboard I've seen acts like this before, which is why I feel confident jumping in on the "debunking" bandwagon. I have no clue how the rest is done, and I'm not going to guess, but the chalkboard is no ordinary chalkboard. I guarantee you he would not be able to do that trick without the black covering over the chalkboard.

[@Camv3]

I saw where he removed the card from the deck, when he was like "just let me cut this"

[@wjhung2]

I saw that too, but how did he know Jimmy was going to write "spicy" and how did the card get in the envelope?

[@joeberg5248]

+wjhung2 If you noticed, the handwriting of the word "spicy" was the exact same on the card and the board. Which goes to reason that there was some sort of tracker inside the marker that then sent a signal to a machine under the cover on the backside of the chalkboard. Now the card being in the envelope, in most cases like that its scripted but there could be some other explanation. The part where he took it out of the deck was so blatantly obvious though.

[@stacyashlee]

+Vainglory With Rev thanks cause I just realized not a lot of ppl write their y like that and the abnormal s

[@casterMobile]

The S in Spicy is different on the board then it is on the card. My guess is the board recognizes what letter the market is drawing and uses a predefined version of that letter so that the handwriting isnt exactly the same.

[@eolsunder]

yea but the rest of the word are pretty similar most people don't write a "Y" like that, so just the fact the letters were very similar means that something "copied" the writing because the chances both Jimmy and him write exactly that same way is impossible. I think most people have a jist of how the trick is done. The pen, like an echo smartpen, sends a copy of what he writes to a computer which is used to do the writing on the chalkboard with some sort of device, probably built into the frame or something, and the guy in the audience is a plant and he has some sort of similar printer that he can slip a duplicate card into the envelope, or just to exchange envelopes when no one is paying attention, etc. Still pretty cool.

[@laafawnduh]

All I know is when he cut the deck and grabbed the box he placed the card in his pocket. So that's how it disappeared from the deck.

It's because, with a LYNX blackboard (google it--it's real!), a machine prints the exact same word onto the chalkboard exactly as it was written. You just need to put a tablet, or a phone, inside that table Jimmy writes it on.

[@crimewizard]

oooo boy thats sneaky,,, but how did h get the card in the envelope

[@axlegrind4212]

There are two different cards. Nobody really looks in the envelope to see that it's empty. The card that Jimmy takes out of the envelope at the end, has the "C" smudged. When Jimmy signs the card at the beginning he is very careful not to smudge the ink. Also, there is no ink on Jimmy's fingers.

[@juliawburn2352]

O.O oh, but you ruined it now!!!

[@DEO777]

The pen Jimmy uses is a magic pen that transmits (via radio signal) the handwriting to the guy in audience. Jimmy's card is removed from deck (standard slight-of-hand maneuver). Guy in audience is in on it (of course) and he has a mini-card printer which duplicates the image received from the pen. Guy in audience slips card into envelope. The chalkboard was never mentioned until the end of the trick. This means that if jimmy never used the word "spicy" or some other easily guessable word, then the chalkboard reveal would have never happened. Notice that magician turned the board around to do the reveal which means there was another word on the other side of the board.

[@nojayork7707]

Yup..he prob had "taco " written on other side of board...

[@1flamingofilms]

+

[@aoalr]

Notice how he doesn't go through all the cards at 5:16 and stop right before the end, so that at 2:11 he put the card in the back of the deck. Jimmy is with him in the trick and wrote the word on the same card and put it in the envelope before the start of the show, and on the chalkboard.

[@armancz]

The other word was "POTATOE".

***** It doesn't matter if the cards are unique, the audience guy can print any card. All the cards will cause people to associate the word "spicy" or "hot".

This is not staged I will tell you how he did it: 1. Jimmy wrote a word on the card 2. Dan then used slight of hand to control Jimmy's card to the bottom 3. Dan slid the card into his pocket as he reached for the deck box 4. Somehow the card was given (there are various ways of doing this) to the man in the audience (part of the act) 5. Backstage someone used a tablet to transfer the word on the card onto the chalkboard. This is called *The Lynx Chalkboard Device* (this is also why the "y" looks the same) 6. He revealed the word on the chalkboard and the envelope with his card

[@tommy4862]

Obviously the card was already there... I have an empty envelope but he didn't let the guy check the envelope.

[@MilesCastillo23]

At 2:23 he does a finger break (keeps his finger where the card is) and cuts the deck so the card is forced. He palms the card and puts it in his pocket while retrieving the box from his pocket. The rest I'm not sure, but definitely spotted that!

[@MilesCastillo23]

And in terms of the chalkboard, it's called a Lynx chalkboard which can write things that are written on a tablet or iPad (square table might have picked it up)

[@BdR76]

Wow, first of all that really is a very good trick. Now let's ruin it by over analysing ;) 1) When he seals the envelop at 0:09 he drops something, although that could just be the peeling strip 2) At 1:42 a helper could spy to see what he's writing, maybe someone above the stage. 3) When he takes the marked card at 2:13 he somehow separates the card when he holds the deck to his jacket. 4) He stalls with the whole "I dream about you", so maybe preparing chalk board writing takes time, which is also why he needs a "short word". 5) The word on the chalk board at 4:09 could be some high-tech remote controled chalk-writing by the spy helper. 6) One of the persons passing the red envelop at 5:44 might also be a helper, although I don't see anything suspicious

[@elboudali_hamza]

I think he forced jimmy to pick that card (lots of ways to do that) and he already had spicy written on the chalk board. he also had another word written on the other side of the chalkboard that jimmy was likely to pick. thats why when jimmy said he wrote spicy the magician had to turn the chalk board over. if jimmy had picked a word that wasn't either of the two written words the magician would have never included the chalkboard into the trick. like u said he was able to remove jimmy's card out of the deck using sleight of hand when his hand went behind his jacket. i dont know how the card got into the envelope thought....must've involved some high tech technology and the help of the audience member who was holding the envelope

4:35 he stretches out a super thin, almost invisible elastic band that was around his wrist. he then scratches the outside of jimmy's hand with it, which jimmy describes as an "electric shock"

What I really like about Dan White is he doesn’t pretend to have super powers. He’s not doing mysticism or something weird. He’s just a damn good magician with an easy going personality that lets the trick speak for itself. Really cool.

[@CreativoErratico]

Jimmy, listen to me, ambalope Jimmy, open the ambalope Jimmy. Jimmy, listen Jimmy, Jimmy, the ambalope.

[@ANAA7LASHAB]

Magicians do this often. It's called dual reality. Jimmy thinks that's the same card it's not. He copied his signature and the guy in the audience IS in on it! He wrote down spicy on the card as soon as he showed everyone the chalkboard. That's a special pen and chalk board whatever u write with the pen will be copied to the board. Don't forget he chose who to give the envelope to he did not ask jimmy who should I give it to. I'm a magician I would know :) you're welcome

[@whereisrowanmorrison]

Your'e a magician? So I'm sure you would like it if you went on television and everybody, instead of just appreciating your art form, was trying to explain how you did it and ruin the illusion. If you know then you should have kept it to yourself and have some respect for the art.

[@mannyjmd]

I don't get it... if you are a magician then why reveal the trick? With that said I also do not understand the people that come on to these videos and talk about how it is fake and it is not real magic like we are children that need to be told the truth. Of course it is fake. Real magic does not exist. THe thing that makes the illusion so appealing is that we DO NOT know how they did it.

[@mannyjmd]

Vainglory With Rev There are always exceptions but for the most part the "magic" is in the unknown and I think most people would prefer to pretend that trick was magic as opposed to knowing the truth about how it was done. We already know magic does not exist. It is also one thing to try and figure out the trick and maybe toss a few theories out but to just flat out know is kinda disappointing or at least it would be for me. There is no point in watching the tricks any more since the mystery and unknown is gone. Just my 2 cents.

[@ANAA7LASHAB]

+mojo123inc this is one of the ways you can do it. I'm not the type to reveal tricks but there are tons of comments and wrong theories to how he's done it. We all know it's not real magic! So I commented so everyone can shut up. It's still entertaining to watch and I'm not ruining the art of the trick revealing it. Magic is fun once you know how it's done.

[@ANAA7LASHAB]

+Vainglory With Rev not a wrong theorie. This is one of the easiest ways he could've done it. There are other ways. So don't act all mr secretive on an easy ass trick.

My favorite thing is you can see him hold the pinky break and ditch the card into his jacket. Now ive never figured out how he get the card to the audience, ive always had trouble seeing that one but it had to be when he moved the chalk board or sometime in between a move because theres no way he couldve had the card in the envelope before jimmy wrote on it. He gave it to a person that looked and dressed liked him for a reason.

[@GOD999MODE]

How do you explain the chalk on the black board?

[@goody2003]

CelticShadow people who understand basic card tricks like me could see that easily, i'm still trying to figure out how he got it to the audience too but the guy he gave the envelope to had to have been in on it

[@jekiefer]

[@flamecolumn]

Jimmy’s writing on the card and the writing on the chalkboard are the same. That is a very specific and unusual way to write a capital “Y”. Ergo, Jimmy was in on it. And if Jimmy is an accomplice, the trick is fairly easy to accomplish. But so what? Great trick, great entertainment. I love being amazed by magicians and generally feel no need to figure out how it’s done. I was in San Francisco a few yrs ago at a trade show and one of the expo booths had a close-up magician doing card and coin tricks. He and I were standing no more than three feet apart with nothing except a counter between us. He blew my mind with what he could do. Seamless, smooth, his misdirections were so subtle as to be invisible. Total pro. Amazing.

for those who don't know how this is done: 1. he took the card out when shuffled 2. jimmy and him did this before hand, aka setup. 3. chalkboard made it obvious, same handwriting. 4. the card in the red envelope is another card he signed.

[@andrewbordin1292]

I also think this is setup but have u ever heard of a "Lynx chalkboard" before? I'm trying to think maybe he used that... but then how is it in the envelope...

[@DerekAtHome]

Not even in the realm of close. The envelope is gaffed, it is empty. The magician palms the card before putting them in the box, then slips the card back into the envelope. The chalk is a lynx board.

4:36 "How the Fuck did you do that?" What a beautiful reaction by Jimmy lmao

[@Juventinoooo]

Let me guess guys - first of all he dropped on the floor few cards that had something weird written on it to let us think that all other cards have different texts on it while in reality 50% of the other cards that were left in deck had a something written on it that makes you or any other average person think about the spicy word, probably other 50% of the cards had something that makes you think about the 2nd word that was written on the chalkboard's front end, because as you might have noticed he even turned it around without removing the cape so no one could see the 2nd word, as for the card in the red envelope i guess it was setup, 2 persons in audience had 2 different red envelopes with 2 different cards

[@dash1dash2]

Very simple. 1. "Random" participant isn't random. 2. The table on which Jimmy writes with the pen is a gimmick table that is connected to the chalkboard that copies what jimmy is writing, that's why the letters are practically identical 3. Sleight of hand on Jimmy's card and it's being passed back to the participant (there are many windows of opportunity where/when that could've happened) Most magic tricks are around diversion. This guy is pretty good at it. There's also an increasing number of gimmicks and electronics involved in a lot of tricks.

[@boreduser12]

Thats part of the show. It's like watching a movie, you know it's fake yet you are entertained. And yes LYNX explains one part but not the envelope. Could be a camera in his pocket. He obviously took the card out of the deck when he "CUT" the deck.

[@boreduser12]

prow6 Why don't you try something better? It was an elaborate act. They know about people like you who want to tear everything apart and try really hard to find no entertainment out of this. But they will try harder to keep it interesting. So knowing how one trick was done wouldn't be enough to break the trick. They put in effort to add multiple layers of tricks.

[@crankiestnebula]

+boreduser12 I have a question if it was a Lynx chalkboard, why didn't it write his signature as well?

[@boreduser12]

Antonio Rodrigues It's a multi layered trick, which is what makes it amazing. The magician figured, even if those idiots on youtube figure out the chalkboard, there's still a lot more they won't figure out. That's why magic tricks/shows are so fascinating! It's what makes them professionals.

[@annacatriona806]

why is it written the exact same way on the card and on the board? who does a y that way!?

[@blazinchalice]

Very good question. "Spicy" is, indeed, written the same way on the card as on the board as you and byte01010101me have observed.

[@omgcutiestephy]

Whatever the pen writes is written on the chalkboard. It's the same technology that teachers use with whiteboards where they can write at their desk/podium and the pen transfers the message to the white board.

[@abramporras7877]

jimmy is in on it and he already had wrote that on a different card

[@jTacticsBeats]

2 cards, jimmy was in on it, jimmy's signed card is still in deck, he just did a double lift/pan to show jimmys card was gone which is the easiest thing to do, then the other was in envelope before the trick even started.

[@JamesWiseMagic]

lol sorry but jimmy isnt in on it. That's such a cop out. People automatically just pull the "That dudes in on it" card when probably about 90% of all magic has an actual method without using actors....

[@JamesWiseMagic]

Abram Porras "They all use actors" you're saying all magicians use actors? That is just an ignorant statement...... as a magician myself I've never used actors before, I learn actual methods to the magic trick as do most magicians. Just because you can't figure it out doesn't mean it's actors. Educate yourself.

[@jTacticsBeats]

[@rottdad775]

Timogen Viente take a closer look and compare the handwriting on chalkboard and card. The magician wrote both, and the card was a simple plant. Getting the card out of the deck was just classic sleight of hand. Who cares where it goes after that, the envelope was setup already with a second card.

[@KingOfBlades27]

How exactly are you coming to this conclusion?

[@KingOfBlades27]

Alex Johnson And you are saying that Jimmy wont realise if the card was actually his or not? If he writes in a different way then this trick wont work, so there is no way that the magician wrote that.

[@rottdad775]

KingOfBlades27 he's in on the trick, you goofball. Magician wrote "Spicy" both with chalk and the card in the envelope. The card Jimmy wrote on is a prop, and was put aside with sleight of hand. This is television, meant to entertain an audience. Surely you're not that naive.
