James Randi - Rope Escape Trick (Metro Theatre, Sydney, 7th December 2014)

[@kittymervine6115]

Love him, and I was lucky enough to see him perform this live....wonderful man he will be missed.

[@MarcHermans]

The great Inquisitor James « skeptic » RANDI has performed his last amazing magic trick... RIP James!

[@reneesantiago6496]

I see this alot when speaking of Randy.....ppl write RIP. Why? Peace? Randi didn't believe in God or that we had souls. So are Randi's fans so unaware of this fact? In order for someone to "rest in peace"....they would have to believe that SOMETHING occurs after death that causes resting and peace. Randi was a staunch atheist that believed his body simply went into the ground.

@@reneesantiago6496 oooh aren't you the internet ace.....

[@jeemonjose]

He will surely be missed. Rest in Peace

[@DKdrop]

It’s such a simple trick, but Randi was just so damn charming. Rest in peace, the truly great man.

[@arribamexico1988]

It so obvious now, the trick is when first grabbed it, he dont let them start , he makes the first move, very clever !

[@Stephen_Strange]

The trickery is slight of hand, to gather some extra when placing your first hand in a fist.

[@kalidilerious]

awww... I thought he coulda been batman 😥

[@joaquin3509]

Oh no, we all believed it was proof of supernatural powers before you commented this

[@hamster-wh3ws]

Unparalleled! Amazing really when Randi did so much so debunk magical thinking and making deities out of things, but he pretty much did enough himself to be fairly regarded as beyond the mere mortal lol!

[@couldntthinkofayoutubename6498]

Im astonished people hated this man decades ago. Such a kind man fighting for the truth and people shat on him for it

[@JohnLeonardMusic1]

Yeah cause he took away their living 😂

[@otonyetekena5567]

Human hates their redeemer.

[@cooldude7883]

This reminds me of Eric Cartman from South Park thinking he was a ghost

[@awedee.0]

i got it thanks to the quality of the video. i figured it out!!!

[@GuyjeanGangmei1107]

How

[@awedee.0]

@@GuyjeanGangmei1107 pay attention to his right hand. he's holding almost an inch of slack and its twisted in a way that would make it easy to hide but peculiar in nature as nobody would tie someone up with a palm facing their buttock. he then lets go of the slack and pulls, the arm in question, free and then his left. not the other way around.

[@decayingcorpse-xv]

I think he enjoyed being tied up a little too much 😅

[@Ole_CornPop]

He isn't dead, he just retired to Bermuda

[@bully_hunter_4206]

Watching Randy get tied up by strong men hits different after he came out as gay

[@rds766]

@ Billy_Hunter. Haters like you will always hate. Who the f**k cares if he's gay or not?

[@bully_hunter_4206]

@@rds766 i didnt say I gave a fuck if hes gay or not, I dont. I said this hits different in hindsight. Pay attention

[@noneofyourbusines9976]

You should see the tricks he showed them back stage.

[@ericeimen1946]

Homophobe much?

[@austincraig8711]

I'm sorry but I wasn't real impressed with that one. I'm not a magician but I could easily tell that the rope was two ropes & he was holding them together in the one hand

[@KingDaveth]

Actually no, it's one rope. It's in the way it was tied it makes it easy to escape from and put your hands back.

[@saulgoodmanshellokittyphone]

You’re wrong. Nice try though!

[@mathewgladden8914]

Y’all are idiots. He just gathers slack in the first hand. Knots and rope are real

[@grimesjon1]

Not impressed because you think you're smart when you're not.
