I think that you are logic challenged

[@saysaysaysay528]

Blaine just like a lot of other famous magicians are just extremely talented in what they do there is no demonic bullshit like people say David goes to church its just internet bullshit hes just good thats it. Blaine just takes it to the extreme if he was some demon do u think the bullet catch would have fucked up and lacerated his mouth no he just does shit nobody else would thats what makes him so great

[@TheUltimateNick]

I saw a few of the moves like the double lift before the card jump and such, but his slight of hand is unparalleled. You can just tell that he has a working knowledge of every card position in the deck and could honestly do some of these tricks blindfolded, it's basically like keys on a piano for him.

[@bryangarcia9443]

David Blaine just laughs when asked how he did it

[@embisonjones4996]

Bless this lady ☺️☺️ she really thinks he will explain to her how it works.

[@puffytacoxxv]

He explains messing up, when he just messed up. He describes what he just did, but no one else even knew.

[@thatguyyoudontknow]

"It's not the destination, it's the journey" That's what they were trying to say.

[@KingJohnTX]

You can tell he wanted somebody to pick 7 and when nobody did he had to keep going until he somehow got to that number. That was an example of him "keeping the trick going" like he talked about.

[@waynejamel6703]

close your eyes and listen... thats how much fun the listeners had when this aired on the radio

[@julius9414]

The Wisdom "dropped" was the best part of this video!

[@camilloiscariota4973]

For those of you wondering, @ 7:31 David is talking about the Growth Mindset and the studies conducted by Dr. Carol Dweck. Read the book; it's great.

[@Pirosbor]

Sounds like the Pygmalion Effect.

[@typicalguitarist]

His followthrough though after noone said 7. Damn he is a legend

[@ARCAMARC]

Superb slight of hand

[@HiChrisss]

4:56 David is like, "well i'm not human, that's the trick"

[@semikruller]

What's funny is how during 3 card monte he did exactly what they end up talking about in the interview and they literally have no idea...! The beauty of what he does is that he always has an out, or conclusion to adapt the trick to the outcome of the input his subjects give him..

[@fastu-vw4zg]

Most people carry that pain around inside them their whole lives, until they kill the pain by other means, or until it kills them. But you, my friend, you found another way a way to use the pain. You have learned to break the world that has tried to break you.

[@TheNekgned]

"How are you keeping track when you shuffle where it is in the deck?" David just smiled there cuz that is the core secret of the trick. Most ppl think shuffle is random, but magicians do know where a certain card will be in the deck. It takes years of practice to do that, amazing.

[@IEXECUTIVE]

A master of the craft. Genius.

[@mikekerezsi9672]

This guy! I love it

[@ajg589]

Amazing as usual! As I've been saying for many years now: "David Blaine, is Literally a better magician than Houdini!"

[@lukerichardson5887]

Ok so, to answer her question at 4:54 : The first hard part of the trick is at 4:25 - camera moves so we miss it, but somehow he palms the Jack to the top of the deck (but he makes it look like the Jack is going into the middle of the deck) At 4:35 he does the double lift, then you can easily see him thumb the top card (Jack of Clubs) to the bottom of the deck at 4:37 (the shuffle just after doesn't affect the bottom card) The second hard part is around 4:47, the one handed cut. After he makes the the cut, he uses his forefinger to seperate the bottom card out from the now top half of the deck (right as he says, "One card comes out") which he then shoots over to complete the trick ! Amazing card skills - he's a legend !

Pretty sure he controlled it to the top, cut the deck with a pinky break, and then did a one handed cut from the pinky break.
