[@sozeytozey]

I read an ama from like 2002 that banachek did and one of the things he brought up his its all about the performance. Once you learn how it’s done you realize even something as little as saying “i have dvds on how to do it...you need to know where to find them” is part of the trick. It leads you to believing there is something deeper here. He has truly mastered the art.

[@sfdntk]

I mean, he literally does have DVDs that explain his metal bending effects, and you do literally need to know where to find them in order to buy them, that's not a lie nor is it a trick. And there IS something deeper here, the forks are indeed completely real and legitimate common forks that you can buy anywhere, but that doesn't mean the ones he's using in the clip are identical to the exact same type of fork that's fresh and straight out of a brand new packet. Unless you mean he's saying that as a convincer, to bolster the claim that the forks are real, which is true.

[@orlonarsino6729]

Joe is being the magic community's equivalent of a heckler. Before I started doing magic I thought the "never tell secrets" thing was not a big deal... but its because people loose respect for you if you reveal tricks. Trust me im basing this off my experience. If you keep it a secret people will stay fascinated with you trying to crack the codes of your tricks or just be in genuine amazement. They will have more of a social and intellectual value of you. Either way its better than dealing with a little brat (metaphorically speaking or literal) who will give you the "NEXT" kind of bored and unappreciative attitude like a spoiled child. Its ironic how human nature can have such a thin line between the extremes. You have worked very hard over some tricks (hours and hours months and months years and years) you should naturally be reserved with the revelation of your tricks to anybody.

[@ryanfranks9441]

Your right bro, I've been playing guitar for years, if someone seen the countless hours of running through scales, they wouldn't be as impressed, previous room mates have said "Why do play this and that over and over again", because...if I didn't, I would suck, like you.

Pretty obvious - the constant interrupting, trying to screw with him when he is presenting his effects. As a established comedian he should know to just sit back and enjoy the entertainment. Magic as the same as comedy works on rhythm and timing. Kinda like a heckler ruining the show this can make the performer sidestep and off rhythm. Still love Joe's podcast.

[@jackson.d1500]

petegeist joe is just smart and likes to learn, ban is probably nervous but he’s being a really horrible magician. Every time joe pointed out a method he would just ignore him, and move on to the next trick. It would of been more appropriate for the setting to just say, you are right. Good job.

I've seen this trick done in person (much better) by a better magician/mentalist. He pulled the card out of his wallet, or seemingly did, which was more impressive. Said he wrote it down in his car earlier that day while he was driving and he saw a billboard that had that word on it. I believe there's a transfer paper in his pocket so he can write to the paper through his pants. Then take it out of his pocket and pass it to the spectator for the reveal, or like the one I saw, make it look like it was in your wallet the whole time.

[@lurchlogan]

Also, at 5:23 he reaches over to grab the wallet with his left hand, the wallet was on his right, it would've been easier to grab it with his right hand but he had the piece of paper in his right hand. He grabs the wallet with his left & puts the paper into the wallet with his right, while he gives Joe some spiel about writing it down earlier... He's right, it's all slight of hand parlor tricks & distraction with conversation!! 🃏🔮🎩

It's what happens whenever his ego or his pointed skepticism is challenged to take a backseat. In the position where he's told "I can't tell you how I'm about to do this" Rogan's natural response is being on the cognitive offense. All that's required from Rogan is that he be in the dark, and appreciate the craft. Not surprisingly, this makes him subconsciously uncomfortable (as someone who interviews and digs into people for a living) so all he can do is keep interjecting and kee[ blindly debunking to overcompensate and hopefully hit a nail in the dark, which would be a nice ego boost too. //An analysis by your friendly neighborhood, very credible internet psychologist.

[@davidbradley2023]

How does he do it?

[@slipp3ryslop3]

Joe called him on the first nail. You can watch it bend exactly at the tip of his thumbnail, and when Joe calls it out he takes the nail and says “Nahhh that’s-it’s-uhh...yeah, but I was holding it at the very end” and holds wayyyy farther down than he had been. Instead of replicating the stunt, the guy moves to forks and tells Joe to pick one. After Joe picks he sets down one of the remaining two and immediately bends a prong on the fork he’s still holding. As he’s bending, Joe asks to trade forks and the guy gets visibly annoyed. He rushes into the “trick” so as not to have to reveal the already bent prong, but if you pause the video as soon as he holds it up you can see it is bent before he starts shaking it. Anyway, for everyone mad at Rogan for calling out this guy’s trickery, whether it’s the guy’s job or not, you have to wonder what the guy was expecting would happen when he did some tricks in front of Joe. The tendency to cling to supernatural belief and to suspend scrutiny in the face of something you want to believe is true is a patently human error, and one Joe has begun to focus a lot of his time on helping to correct. This tendency within us is what spawned religion and what drives fanaticism in all forms. It is a dangerous practice to be in, even regarding entertainment. You should always scrutinize, always be slow to be convinced that something unnatural has occurred. You can still enjoy the show while applying such scrutiny, but all I see in the comments are all the cry-babies upset that Joe ruined their fantasy.

[@slipp3ryslop3]

Lmao it gets even worse. “You just shoved it in there” 😂😂 He pulled the twisted fork out of a pocket or sleeve btw and covered the handle, then slowly pushed it upward through his fingers resulting in an observed rotation due to the pre-twisted fork. Also notice how any time he’s doing something important with his hands they keep the cameras on their faces...if they wanted to really out this guy they would have kept it on the shot from Jamie’s perspective more of the time. So stop shitting on Joe because they could have done him a lot dirtier, especially considering what this guy’s skillset really represents. He gets paid to fool people. If you want to be fooled, fine...but it’s your right to know you’re being fooled, and how. You can choose to exercise that right or not. We do not owe magicians/mentalists some sort of debt of gullibility.

[@Kelts.mma9]

Are you serious?? its not real magic!!? wow you are a genius sir

[@slipp3ryslop3]

King 😂😂 The point isn’t to prove it’s not real, the point is to train yourself to recognize how your brain is being fooled. Even if you can’t figure out exactly how a trick is performed, learning to recognize the tells of deception will help you to recognize when you are being fooled outside of an obvious performance. This guy is easy because he does actually seem rather honest for a professional trickster. He has no skill at being convincingly deceptive once he is called on something. He stumbles over his words, blinks uncontrollably, flicks his eyes to the right, etc. That is a good thing, in my opinion, but limits his options as a performer. He seems to be doing fine that way though and it probably gives him a clearer conscience than other tricksters. Tanis Teau - I think it’s cool, too! Even though we can figure out what he’s doing most of us wouldn’t be able to see the switches he makes, let alone do them ourselves. This guy has developed an intriguing talent, but at the end of the day if you continue to allow yourself to be fooled by it even for the purposes of entertainment you are training your mind to be fooled in areas where it might actually matter.

[@matthewrogers2521]

Interesting comments sections. Just for a different perspective the best part about magic for me is the trying to debunk it. Using my mind to try and solve the slight of hand, misdirections and such is really stimulating and really interesting to me. Maybe that’s what Joe finds interesting about magic and why he brought this guest on

[@TechMetalRules]

NO SPECIAL METALS OR UTENSILS. You slightly pre-bend the utensil many times back and forth, to weaken it, so that it looks solid to the eye but is ready to bend or break easily. That's where the "slight of hand" comes into play, making sure the audience gets the non-pre-bent fork. That's why he was very hesitant to switch forks when Joe asked. Also, the fact that the audience doesn't know it's pre-bent, or where the weak point is, it's unlikely they'll know how and where to apply pressure, leaving it safe to be examined.

[@TheXaeroe]

With the fork tine, he bends it while Joe is focused on the fork in his own hands, that's why he didn't want to give Joe the fork when he changed his mind...

These tricks are child’s play wtf. One watch through and you can see how everything is done. He offers Joe two forks then just swaps the fork he is holding with another one while Joe is looking at his fork. You can see the prong is already bent when he first picks it up and he just shows it to Joe vertically so it is hard to see and makes sure he is constantly shaking it so you cant see. Same thing with the nail. It’s bent when he picks it up then he simply holds it at an angle where it appears straight and spins it slowly to make the illusion that it is bending. The fork that he bends in Joe’s hands is already pre-softened by bending it back and forth. Now all he has to do is apply some pressure and it bends. He quickly makes sure to break it before allowing Joe to look at it. The twisted fork is the same, he just spins it in his hand to make it look like its twisting. The card trick is a gimped deck with multiple repeats of the same cards. There are only hearts or spades and asking each of them whether it is a high or low card is enough to determine which card it is out of only 3 choices. He banks on the fact that you’ll be so pre-occupied with choosing a card that when he briefly flips them up you wont notice what he’s actually showing you. Jamie almost notices and hes the one having the trick done on him.

Thank you. I don't get all the hate on Joe here. He is asking the questions that most viewers seeing this stuff are begging to be asked. That's why his podcast is so great. I was really impressed with all the tricks and was really happy Joe kept prying.

[@JBrooksNYS]

He bends the fork while Joe is inspecting the other fork. He hold it head on so you cant see the bend until he reveals it. Expert slight of hand.

[@TheDaniel2922]

Right after he picks up the nail, he re-positions his seat, he used the chair to bend the nail and then used tricks of perspective to make you think its bending in front of you.

[@skymanross]

Am I the only one with Joe here? At the end of the day, Joe basically illustrated what goes through a thinking persons mind when they watch magic/psychics, regardless of whether or not they would say it themselves. The guy came on the show to show off his "tricks" and Joe's job is to scrutinize/analyze what he sees. The guy knew he was doing a 2+ hour podcast and had to have expected the kind of treatment that he got. Joe is a no-bullshit kind of guy, and even after the questioning, he was fooled. Seemed like a win for the guest despite the heavy scrutiny.

[@butsirrr]

There is a difference between no-bullshit and being respectful to your guest and not acting a total 13 year old cunt acting unimpressed or get defensive about a magician’s tricks. His behavior has gotten really unlikeable over the years. I barely watch JRE now and watched this to see some tricks and Joe’s constant side comments and interjections was really fuckin annoying and distracting. Joe’s ego is way too big now and that TRT ain’t helping either.

Joes super skeptical but also thinks it’s entirely possible that aliens and ufos exist. He also has the attention span of a golden retriever in this clip 😂. Can’t imagine him as a kid in school

[@robc6022]

For the nail and fork trick, he just bent it over and over BEFORE THE SHOW so that the metal is very weak at a certain place. the one that broke is the biggest clue. if you bend metal over and over in the same place it becomes very weak and bends very easily. if you do it TOO much it WILL eventually completely break. what is puzzling me is the one that he completely twisted the top around. it seemed HARD after! joe was banging it around and playing with it in his hands.. that's a cool trick, i'm curious! he said he has videos.. maybe they're on youtube?

[@phlippbergamot5723]

Thanks to the ability to rewatch these tricks, you can see that jow was right about the nail. it was pre-bent, and he just rotated it until the bend was visible. The fork with a bent tine he bent while holding the tines right in front of Joe's face, then he takes it out of his hand shaking it so you don't notice the tine was bent. He's very truthful in saying it was slight of hand, and he's bending them right there in front of Joe. Joe is guessing it right, but Banachek isn't going to give the secrets up right there. He's a good magician, and I'm glad he's out there debunking the con men who are taking money from bereaved people seeking a message from loved ones that have died.

[@--Justin--]

0:55 The nail is already bent, which you can see at the beginning. He rotates it during the trick so the bend points downwards instead of towards himself. 2:00 There were 3 forks, he wouldn't give Joe the one in his hand because it was already bent. 2:10 Fork was already bent before the start of the trick. Etc.

[@kdcustoms1272]

what did you expect? lol

[@lukeoddie9156]

For the final trick, he keeps the star card at the top everytime. When Joe refuses it, he uses his left hand to put pressure on the top and second to top cards, which displaces the second to top card. Which he then puts to the bottom. Therefore the Star always remains at the top. Easy

[@tmcleanful]

Watch at 5:20 - I believe that look and action we see is the man grabbing a pen, writing the number and word Joe said on the paper, and putting it into the wallet all in one impressively quick, fluid motion. When he says "slight of hand" he means "something I can do very quickly and in an obscured fashion right in front of you that produces the same result every time."

[@nf4866]

Joes constant trying to say out loud bhow the guy did the tricks is the second most annoying reaction to magic (besides tyhe people who insist that they aren't impressed, but there was a little of that too). It's magic. The fun is being mystified and trying to figure out how they did that silently in your head. Just let it be a fun, cool thing and stop trying to ruin it just to prove how clever you are.

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

@@tnfloose9023 Oh yeah. As my name kind of implies, I'm a magician. What I was talking about is that most of Criss Angel's tricks on TV are camera tricks. They use stooges, editing, camera tricks, etc. So most of Criss Angel's tricks you couldn't actually figure out by slowing down because they're engineered to be impossible to figure out using the mindset of the tricks being practical, which they aren't. Criss Angel couldn't actually perform most of those tricks live.

[@tnfloose9023]

@@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness he does use a lot of camera tricks but they are not perfect and you can find flaws in it while watching in slow and pausing. The walking on water trick for example looks great at real speed but slowed down exposes certain angles where you can clearly see he is walking on a narrow piece of glass just beneath the surface. You can find mistakes in Multi million dollar budget films its not impossible to find them in a low budget magic show. Have a look for yourself man and if you cant see figure out how he does them thats on you.

Joe blows the lid off that nail trick instantly, and the guy goes into panic mode lol. I hated that as a kid though. I started doing the matrix coin trick once and I showed my parents. I couldn't even get through the trick because they didn't understand how I was doing it and they started flipping over the cards and grabbed my hand to see where i was keeping the coin. I get that people wanna be smart and figure out the trick, but it's so annoying when they won't let you finish it and ask questions after.

[@ryanfranks9441]

[@murdermuseum8280]

you have to quickly bend the fork before hand with misdirection. the fork that broke was weakened ahead of time so it would break easier.
