I think it's because of the event. Since it's a TEDx event, this routine was probably performed between some scientific presentations and strong personal stories, some speeches are kinda boring and bad.

+Angelo Robledo If you are a native English-speaker, you may not know it, but actually English is a language which is extreeeeemely easy to learn from scratch, at least when it comes to acoustic understanding. Especially in a rich, European country like Austria, chances are high that even an average 16-year-old would be able to understand at least 80% of this, the sarcasm and humor in it included. I guess the real problem with this performance in Vienna is, that not everyone can really appreciate its very dry humor, me included. In Germany and Austria, we are unfortunately used to a much "simpler" kind of comedy, to put it nicely. ^^ And the combination of a good, but rather unusual comedy-act and somewhat impressive, but rather unfunny magic tricks is a little bit problematic. So, I think these could be some of the reasons why the audience wasn't freaking out like hell. But it had most likely not much to do with the language. (:

You missed the most beautiful and blatantly in your face slight of hand XD - When Ball #3 is revealed under the right hand cup and Lime #1 is placed underneath, first he did a fake pass again (like before): Ball #3 is still in the right hand, which then grabs the pen while he talks about making the other ball appear. Nothing goes into the pocket, but the Lime #2 is taken out. - Ball #1 is revealed under the left hand cup. The pen is dropped to allow the right hand's index finger and thumb to pick up the cup while Ball #3 is still inside the right hand. The cup is passed to the left hand and the right hand picks up Ball #1 to distract from the left hand placing Lime #2 underneath the cup. At that moment there's both a hidden Ball #3 and a visible Ball #1 held by the right hand. Now here comes the great part: - Ball #1 is passed to the now empty left hand. There's one ball in each hand, Ball #3 still hidden in the right hand. - He throws the visible Ball #1 up to lead all attention to it and to prime the throwing motion. - He catches Ball #1 and _places his thumb on it to secure it!_ - In a throwing motion, all attention still being on the left hand, _he simultaneously fake throws with the left hand and throws the hidden Ball #3 up from the right hand_ The move is executed beautifully and even on camera it's hard to catch! xD Ball #3, now visible while Ball #1 is hidden in the left hand is caught by the right hand again. The switch is made! :D After this he moves the hidden Ball #1 to the right hand in a move that is unfortunately not caught on camera, and with both Ball #1 and Ball #3 in the right hand he can do the mitosis trick, revealing that what seemed just one ball were actually two! In my opinion this was the most beautifully executed part of the whole performance. Better than the three limes even.

I watched those few seconds, like, five times), and 2. I know there's no other way that ball could have ended up in the other hand.

Either way, Kyle is so freaking funny that even though he's not a GREAT magician (some of his tricks are pretty well known), he still is just an amazing entertainer. I really don't know if he's more of a comedian or a magician (kind of like the direct opposite of "The Amazing Jonathan". Either way, what a funny, smart and talented guy with a fantastic act. love all of his videos and glad I discovered him on Penn and Teller's Fool Us.

O.K. great, he took the opportunity to display his talent to get recognition because logically TED talk is for people who do research, meetings, write books or want to share their experiences but a magician can best do magic so he did that. No hatred but still his talk did not reveal any new idea or even share any preconceived idea that is unknown to people, he just amused us. He just talked through the magic to make it look more consistent with the stage, that's it.

@Celticshade7 жыл бұрын
Personally penn and teller showing the trick added more to the trick for me. The real magic for me is knowing how its done and the amount of practice and skill it takes to do tricks. Its like chop cup. Thats cups and balls with just 1 cup and one ball. But if the person is good enough they can fool you even if you know all the moves. Now this guy isnt as smooth with cups and balls as ive seen many other be but its such a simple trick and like he said it shows blindspots. Even if you know how a trick is done you just sometimes cant catch it. Obviously his moves were noticeable but not on a large stage lol.
@billpuppies7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I was disappointed to see it was nothing more than "cups and balls" with a one paragraph summary of an old psychology study that is actually unrelated to the trick. I was looking out for a "surprise" and still did not miss a single time he slid a ball/lemon under the cups.
@MizukiUkitake5 жыл бұрын
The mitosis joke gave me flashbacks of a magician in a restaurant coming to my family's table to entertain us (He was made to go from table to table and repeat his tricks, it wasn't a place designed for entertainment). I doubted every single thing he was doing, until he brought out a tiny sponge rabbit. He did a few tricks with it, I wasn't particularly impressed, then he asked me to hold out my hand, and he gave me the rabbit. He told me to cup it between my hands, and I did so. Continuing his jokes, he said "But be careful. Rabbits are known to multiply". And in that instant, I felt my hand fill rapidly, and I parted my hands to find about a dozen tiny tiny rabbit sponges. The original was still there, among them. To this day, I cannot figure how he did it.

Kyle was smart to choose those tricks. Very clever Kyle. The Chinese sticks is another trick that if done too many times can be easily sussed out by an observant viewer. But we don't look that closely, because we're dumbfounded by the magic of it. Two tricks, easy to spot how their done if you pay close attention... which was the point of his talk. If anyone wants to know how the sticks were done, just look for something in common as the string "shrinks" each time. Good luck! Also, for any magic police... you can find the solutions to both of those tricks easily, and even but them for a few bucks. Spoilers don't count on tricks a thousand years old!
