His sense of humor is hilarious and great misdirection!!

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

Spot on, that's the purpose of his humour-to misdirect otherwise there would be awkward lengths of silence. He ask questions where the answer is common eg; something you have always wanted to do, most common answers are skydiving, handgliding etc- Something you loved as a kid, kids play sports like baseball & too young to fall in love with a girl. He just narrows down the answers.

He takes Fiji guy’s card, and then hang gliding lady. He palms hang gliding lady at 3:09 and reads it at 3:11 when he holds the cards out. He re-shuffles at 3:15, puts Fiji guy on top and then palms at 3:24 and reads Fiji guy at 3:26. Baseball guy he palms at 3:46 and reads at 3:48 again when he holds out the cards.

[@thebattousi1]

[@reperfan4]

Even if it is as straightforward as sneaking a peek and distracting with crowdwork, I'm kind of curious about something. He told the first guy it could be any place, even not real ones. "...something you read in a book or saw in a movie. Could be anything." I'm wondering if he has a plan in the act or just wording of the guessing for people who write something he doesn't know about. Like if I was picked and wrote "Limsa Lominsa" then, even if he read the card, unless he coincidentally happened to already have played the video game that place is from then how would he narrow down what that even was to start guessing phrases about it leading up to the reveal.

[@LuckyPSD]

Everybody is saying he took a peek at the cards but I'm pretty sure that's not it. If you ask 100 people where they want to go but haven't, chances are that a large majority will say something like Cuba or Fiji. He just kept listing the most common things and essentially got the people to tell him through the colours associated with the thing. It's what psychics do to make people think they're talking to their lost relatives.

[@timothylaible8823]

I was also thinking Fiji what the heck.

[@italotrivisan9767]

He literally just peaked in front of everybody and we didn't see it :)

[@SelectInput]

my guess here would be people are just really sugar stable and predictable. He says a lot of leading phrases, like "could be an island" or could be a person, or a "an activity you loved". That instantly makes them think of something of some, and because its on the fly like that they just put a popular answer not necessarily whats correct. The color helps him narrow down what or where it might be, and its just a list of possibilities from there. He probably does this a few times a night and gets similar answers every time. pick normal looking people, no kids or free spirits with outlandish answers. very cool trick nonetheless.

[@YipYapYoup]

No, reading people is almost impossible no matter what scam artists want you to believe and magic tricks are made to work every time (when done right of course), so they are just that, tricks. Most likely had a way to peek but of course until you know the trick it seems impossible.

[@headsgrowback1]

The trick was fooling you into thinking he could cold read randoms. You can see his clever technique, if you watch closely. It's not cold reading. He finds a way to look at the cards. I won't say how or when, but if you know what you're looking for, you'll see it. And it's so damn smooth.
