Fun Fact Question: Can anyone tell me the significance of the thumbnail used for this video?

[@darrenfernando7569]

Alex Pandrea . I do not know, but awesome video man.

[@MemeGang420]

Alex Pandrea Blaines' favourite card?

[@kentcanedo4486]

Alex Pandrea what a Beautiful story.. wow,

[@kentcanedo4486]

i guess the significance was the story of how you met your two idols in magic.. i love the story very much anyway..

[@ENYOJi]

Alex Pandrea I see your video, I click it. I already know it's gonna be great.

[@eugeneng2574]

At least you met him with more of an experience than Chris ramsay

[@dancingbandet123]

“And then he just took off running out of the building” Chris Ramsay meeting David Blaine was the funniest video Ramsay has out🤣🤣

[@HBStone]

Then David said "Let's see the simple switch again, but this time fade in some intro music........"

[@MaxDiamond]

Haha that story was awesome! I couldn't imagine performing for David Blaine at 14 let alone impressing him so much that he says "we need to go" and drags you out of the place 😂 This trick is such a gem, thanks so much for sharing it. Keep up the great content!

[@themaggot8]

That is one hell of a story xD Alex, could you please make a top 5 or top 10 about your favorite moves?, like, favorite color changes, or controls, or useless but gratifying sleights and things like that?

[@danielquinones624]

I saw Paul Harris do this move...now I know whete he learned it.

[@jwd3003]

What a great story Alex, it had me totally captivated from the beginning.... Not only are you a great magician: I can tell you are a good person and a super guy....Keep up the great work, it's much appreciated.

[@AlexPandrea]

THANK YOU! Made my day :)

[@LuiEntertainment]

This may very well be one of the coolest stories I’ve ever heard!

[@ricmateo7246]

What an inspiring story! You are so blessed Alex for having such a supportive mom. You have grown the best that you can be. Bless your heart for sharing your talent and getting involved with charity works.

[@JAMESRICKYCOWARD]

Always love your work brother,, and appreciate your candid story about your mother, very glad she recovered and Im certain that she's super proud of her son! #greatstuff

[@ZaXxPL]

Much inspiration is coming from your videos Alex! You're really pushing me forward as a magician and a person. High five!

[@williamhutton95]

Alex I just had to say it, I love your channel! You just have it all, you had the best interview with David! Your tutorials are very good, your mindset very positive! I really want you to keep it up it s always a great moment to see a new video of yours pop up! Keep it up!

[@felikinrobertson2393]

We love you Alex’s mom. You are the reason I learnt half of my sleight of hand.

[@Dimegg]

Would love to hear more stories like this one :) got me fiddling with cards again

[@chemistry800]

Alex, tutorial(as all tutorials you post)is a gem. The background story:PRICELESS. It reminds me of a modern day Dai Vernon/Houdini exchange, albeit, slightly different circumstances. Speaks of the 🔋 of idol adulation. And how someone can influence and shape a youngster's(or someone of any age);future in a positive manner and hopefully favorable outcome. Any athletic/artistic endeavor will always have somebody hanging on their role mentor/model every word/demeanor/attitude. I am glad you in turn have accepted your responsibility as a leader/teacher/innovator of Magic and I'm sure impressing/molding/guiding your followers. Am I am one of those many: Thanks so very much.

[@franksmith4210]

Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful move. The people have spoken👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@souvanikmajhi2945]

Moms are the best.... Alex thank you for the tutorial and your childhood story is awesome....

AMAZING!!! Thanks for the tutorial, story and charity. I've seen Lennart Green on TEDx I didn't know he wrote and did dvds. Very educational.

[@boltaction4593]

One of the best tutorials yet!

[@TheRitualChannel]

Alex your impression of David is hilarious. Great unforgettable story. Thank you.

[@rohailpeeran7392]

I have seen alot of detailed top shot tutorials on KZbin, but even after being brief yours was the best!

[@AlexPandrea]

Ha, well with the quality of most tutorials on youtube I'm not surprised :/

[@danny8231]

[@ace8727]

Thx for the tutorial

[@immanueljerom4978]

You're just incredible man!

[@AlexPandrea]

thanks dude, i try i try :p

[@nichttuntun3364]

Hi Alex. Thank you. What a cool move. I already can perform the top shot and this is a really cool way to make something special or of it. By the way you are the first one who mentions that it is important to apply pressure on all 4 corners of the packet, even on the left bottom corner. I figured that out for myself some time ago and if one does the top shot that way it's working way better. Cool that you mentioned that.... and great that you are spending some money for helping institutions. Chapeaux. Have a great Christmas time.

[@ianfancher]

I have seriously been trying to figure out the topshot for months. I can't do it. One attempt after you explained how to do it here and I got it. Thank you. I love your videos.

[@taproniart3721]

Thanks for sharing... Nice story!

[@AllanKoayTC]

[@chemistry800]

Also, Mom had huge influence on me also. So great Mom got credit, good son you are.

[@ralphocava4130]

You've just earned my sub...

[@maiman2932]

When i pick up my deck of cards and do the top shot, and then continue practicing as i watched the video, i realized that i'm using the same 5 of hearts that alex is using. That itself is a magic sir.

[@znebrem]

Still fantastic

[@jbiltcliffe8266]

Sick 1 ♥️

[@bernhard8540]

Lol good old vhs tapes that always messed up the audio and needed a separate machine to rewind them when they were first around haha I still have my vhs reminder it's shaped like a 57 chevy lol don't use it but it's always funny to hand to someone younger and have them figure out what it is hahaha ❤❤

[@robertoquintero8946]

Best vid ever

[@John.Doe-OG]

Nice move.

[@bxlawless100]

Good impression, btw.

[@Martin-delta]

[@rajminhas5533]

[@magicpascal]

Cool

[@Oeugh]

I need help woth my top shot. It always turns so that the short edge is pointing the deck

[@JPumpkinKing]

Cool story.

[@CabroVGC]

52kards has a really good topshot tutorial if you need that

[@DeltiBecker]

My issue is, multiple cards fly out not just one.... Any tips? I'm holding it tight but the base of my thumb, the meaty part that's suppose to apply pressure to the opposite side of where the pinky shoots the card, isn't able to hold it tight enough

[@quick6175]

What to do my top shot card and instant replay card are colliding with each other, also I'm not able to catch top shot card so fast my hand isn't coming down. And then the instant replay card instant sticking to the deck

[@douglasoverholt1463]

I think your mother did a fine job I've learned a lot of moves from you

[@jacque5599]

Now I know why my top shot flips face down.

[@Grant-H2O]

yo dudes if you got small hands or fingers try curling the ring finger under the deck and shoot

[@magicphil7651]

Awesome story. Hahahaha

[@Trigger_Man]

Finally! At least now I know I'm not alone when utilizing the top shot with instant replay. Thanks Alex

[@jacobyen9551]

Hi

[@ZeroKage69]

"the first time the card will just fall over like this" Well maybe I did this in a past life cause I shot the card halfway across my room.

[@pranoy2]

#notificationsquad where u at

[@Manysdugjohn]

I think this is Lenart Green's move

[@nimapoorhosseini8425]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@leighjones7457]

And then, David Blaine ate a bowl of brand flakes and took a nap.

[@jesse1229]

I can’t even get the card to come off the deck

[@3barkmc]

POV: You’re looking for if David Blaine commented on this video

[@rodrigoleao3547]

only I that noticed the gagging on 0:47 ??

[@HulkVahkiin]

Impressing David Blaine at 14? Damn.....I'm legit jealous XD

[@wolfgangbuck841]
