[@Xarieus]

the best sleight of hand ive ever seen

[@RewdAwakening]

7:29 to 8:40 8:27 - "Oh, Wow ! " 8:30 - "I'M on an EeRoPlAnE ! " 8:34 - "I need a DRINK ! " Pure Gold.

[@erhanalankus]

I'm still entertained by this video. He's an amazing performer.

[@whitefalcon684]

best hour i've ever spent.... trying to rewind and see when he did the stuff, i got everything except the ring.... so damn awesome

[@RobinOfSweden]

More please, he is fudging AWESOME.

[@sowhatprod]

Kul att du lade upp det här.

[@johman8310e]

These tricks are very simple but executed perfectly, great video.

[@Sladepheonix]

this guy is freaking amazing

[@tomenart]

sleight of hand pro, love these

[@PaulTheillusionist]

Great routine!

[@jeounghh87]

@MrFloris Indeed. This is amazing stuff!

[@Stuyboyz]

@whitesox287 Well as SuperXpio pointed out to me, aluminum is not magnetic, however, there is a different kind of metal in the bottom of the cup which magnetizes the ball.

[@Rulerofwax24]

God, this is amazing :D

[@Ticas58]

Mind=Blown!

[@bariuspelagic]

As Twirly Socrates already pointed out, the second tennis ball is placed at 6:58 when his hand with the cup comes back to his jacket pocket, where he rolls the ball from his pocket to the cup.

[@jorgeluisliguita]

wooooooooooooooooooow!!! amazing

[@Ful1tilt]

@hzuhairy If you watch the hand he has his cup in before the tenis ball bit, you can see he moves it close to his pocket, he conceals the tennis ball in his hand and quickly places it inside the cup before he puts it back down. He is very good so you have to really watch to see it, but its there.

[@FuzzyWobble]

this guy is amazing. please come to my next birthday party.

[@DJAdori]

lovin the cypress in the back

[@tschetti]

I totally agree!

[@MasterMusketeer]

This is an amazing illusionist. I know there is no magic in what they do, but if you can direct the audience's attention in the way this guy did, then you are a master.

[@SuperMrAffe]

This guy is a great magician! He's an amazing entertainer and incredibly fast with his hands. I wish someone would know his name.

[@TwirlySocrates]

@hzuhairy The first tennis ball is in the cup at 6:44. The second ball is put in the cup at 6:58.

[@CESAPEX]

@EgAnimatiOn You're actually correct. He was advertising.

[@v08i]

The kid in black T-shirt looks like Walter White jr.

[@Stuyboyz]

@axwapples He slips the tennis balls under the cup right before he sets it down. Notice he never places the cup down while holding the top of the cup, but from the bottom where the same hand that is holding the cup also slips the tennis ball underneath.

[@santiagoawee]

Very interesting !! I watched it till the end : )

[@MrTweetyhack]

@Nebjaminn yeah, real easy to catch it and analyze it on video. good job.

[@P00NED]

Thank god for making this kind of magic possible! Praise god ;)

[@killomaster]

On 4:17 you can see him slide the cups forword and taking the ball, and slide the other cup away from Michael and placing the ball underneath it. If you pause at the time he slides the cup away, you can see a small lift of the glass cup.

[@superman3384]

bravo

[@CESAPEX]

@AskefastHD That's the spirit!

[@blackmar07]

@Bethrezen333 the guy in the black also removes the bead.if you look closely you see he transfers it to his left hand under the cards

[@HgHgHgHgHgHgHgHg]

Awesome

[@ulaB]

Even if you know how it's done, you can still admire his performance because it's a great routine.

[@OlgerJan]

man im so going to use that turning 2 around yourself thing

[@CESAPEX]

@adminoperator Misdirection is key. Which was also the selling point of the company's technology he was representing.

[@Stuyboyz]

@SuperXpio You're right. I didn't know aluminum wasn't magnetic.

[@xzbyte2002]

Amazing :-)

[@Masterincommander]

I would not question his genius

[@kennebd]

First tennis ball at 6:42 when he pulls the aluminum cup back, second tennis ball right 6:56 when he taps the guy on the shoulder. Very smooth.

[@MsNilzone]

@adminoperator That was the only thing I actually noticed. But then again, everything else blew my mind!

[@TragicAyk]

Insane in the brain

[@Raymhein]

@kawiKAB327 How did he get the first one in the cup? There was almost no chance since his sleeve was high up his forearm.

[@CESAPEX]

@wjb1060 You are most welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@CheekyChan]

INSANE IN THE BRAIN.

[@shimaroblob]

reminds me of the chop cup routine, very impressive

[@bariuspelagic]

He places the tennis ball in the cup (first time) while offscreen about 6:43 while he's talking to the audience about the red ball which he just revealed. When he sets the cup down again you can see he holds it upside down and his fingers are clearly holding an object inside the cup, this is the tennis ball.

[@BIackJak00]

@axwapples at 6:43 he is behind the big red dude so you can't see him put the tennis ball in the cup. He is holding it in the cup with his pinky though. at 6:55 you can see him holding his left hand in his pocket, holding the tennis ball at 6:57 he brings the cup to his left hand with his right hand and there he puts the tennis ball into the cup, and holds the tennis ball in with his pinky then sets it down on the table!

[@bRadicalmagic1]

Nice stuff fella, I especially liked that it involved NO playing cards ! ! !

[@EllenTang256]

WOW!

[@juanstrongman]

@daskeg slow down the image right before when he pushed the cup, he lift it up and pushes it forward... took me forever to find it LOL

[@olatrials]

@Raymhein he did it when he put the cup back after revealing the red ball

[@dieuwerf]

Great stuff, you can see him put in the second ball at 6:57, very good! :P

[@mrpadge86]

@Bethrezen333 so how do u explain the tennis balls then.........????

[@WARnTEA]

I SAW THE TENNIS BALL!!!, he holds the cup in his pocket, and squeeses on the cup so the tennis ball doesn't fall out. You can see it enter from his left pocket, this guy is truely a master, hes so fast and natural

[@Stuyboyz]

I'm with VideoScourge. I don't want to be "that guy", but the red ball is magnetic and at 5:54 when he places it in the cup, he sets it down gently the first time, so when he lifts it, it is still magnetized to the cup. When he sets the cup down after he shows the ball isn't there, he does so harder so that the force of the cup slamming down breaks the magnetism between the ball and the cup landing the ball on the table. Voila.

[@TwirlySocrates]

@hzuhairy The tennis balls are the only ones I can explain. He used the red ball trick to disguise the tennis ball trick. Rewind and look. He has his hand in his pocket, reveals the red ball appear, and the audience is amazed (i.e. distracted). During this moment, the cup is in his hand, and he puts it down again without showing us what's underneath. He reveals a tennis ball, and while we're amazed, he puts in another.

[@Kinaboxlol]

Why are there so many comments about how they do the tricks?? This is not a movie that is actually explaining how to do the tricks.. And further more he isn't actually doing a lesson. It's only purpose is entertaining a crowd, which this guy is a true master at!

[@JayRichy7]

if you look closely at 6:56 , after he reveals the first tennis ball he brings the cup very close to his blazer or pocket as if he was trying to slip something in there , obviously the 2nd tennis ball.

[@535badpoo]

@Bethrezen333 ok how did the tennis balls get under the cup?

[@Shnazzzy]

@gojo345 you need slight of hand pro to do something of his caliber

[@CESAPEX]

@lKASHMEREl Consumer Electronic Show. It's held every year in Las Vegas, and showcases new products and technologies.

[@Lidodido]

@adminoperator Yeah, a magician won the Swedish version of X-factor a couple of years ago. I remember watching his final show on youtube a couple of weeks later and noticing that he basically placed a tennis ball on a table and walked over to another place with a cup to show one of the presenters, and they were all amazed when he pointed at the ball back at the table. Didn't notice the first time, amazing how they can lure away your attention!

[@WarrantChen]

I love it. Lol this is hilarious.

[@ulktz]

Wow he is good.

[@treize32]

@CrematorXXX yea, he keeps everybody's attention glued to the table. :)

[@Stuyboyz]

@axwapples There is also a video from Pen and Teller that show you how it's done. Just type in "Penn and Teller explain ball & cups."

[@NorwegianLittleGirl]

@omidptok ^^, it's actually a very popular hairstyle in scandinavia (an probably germany too, he said he was from munich) right now. xD

[@MiyaZakiProductions]

@Boony2000 that kind of wallet allways has easy attach, it's harder to remove, but that's not part of the trick I believe he hasn't got a false thumb but he did took the ring to the backpocket and attached it, when he went to remove the wallet

[@pdfstreet]

The music in the background of this clip is fucking badass.

[@TheChiliLime]

Mindblowing! The only thing i really know - I don't want to discover the truth....ever! I want to get excited about things like this all my life, coz its just cool!

[@S3iF3]

I like how cypress hill plays in the backround

[@kydrice]

I only caught the 2nd tennis ball but I had to dl the video and go frame by frame to really see it. He's quick.

[@AndThenPotatoes]

Can anyone perhaps give me a list of all the songs that play in the background..?

[@RealiMente]

very nice :D

[@EllenTang256]

@Raymhein So true i didn't even see it.

[@CESAPEX]

@2007TypeR No, I recorded the video and witnessed everything first hand. There were accomplices in the crowd. I know this, because he did variations of the tricks throughout the day with completely different spectators watching.

[@LTF85199]

@wrangleroooo exactly what I was thinking.. that black mat has some technology associated to it...

[@Dabeyp]

For those wondering about where the ring goes, Doesn't it seem unnecessary that his hands go so close to the holes in between his shirt buttons. More specifically his thumb.

[@NoviProleterijat]

@jlora018 i'm prettyslow... can't really see what you're trying to point out, care to explain?

[@vladimirtmb]

I've saw how he placed the 2nd tennis ball... and that was smooth

[@gusfalk]

@adminoperator I cant see a glimpse of the tennis ball. where is he hiding it?

[@dubgrug89]

he takes the ball at 4:15 when he slides the cup. he lifts it slightly as he slides it.

[@db0255]

I saw it too. You don't have the video on high enough resolution. He just covers it, but if you watch in 360 SD then it looks to pixely...as if he moves it away with a magnet.

[@FallClassics]

OH MY GOD!!!

[@RydetheTyde]

How did he do the ring trick?

[@TheHereds]

name of the first song in the backround? the one before insane in brain.

[@AbyssClikonCo]

mind blown!:P

[@icecremer]

@framk20SH He was speaking in Hebrew earlier in the video, says stuff like "He is fooling them" and "we must applaud him"

[@ByjohnR]

This is genius! Quite the good trick.

[@hellinabody]

Nice

[@dubbits]

@MsNilzone Where do you see it? I can't find it D:

[@gojo345]

@CESAPEX Michael is definitely in on it. He probably had more than a couple people that switch out and help him.

[@thetriplesevens]

@Jason777Barnett and as he has your attention on the ball on the table is when he makes the switch

[@thetriplesevens]

6:41 he places the 1st tennis ball... he grabs it out of his pocket with his left hand and as he hands off the cup from his right to his left he places the tennis ball in and holds it in there with a tighter grip. and at 6:51 he does the same thing.. you can see him reach in his pocket with his left hand

[@warvibe24]

@AjblueDesign It is an aluminum cup. the whole point behind it is tht he cannot squeeze the cup.

[@MesPkVids]

how did he do this trick at 7:55 with ring?

[@ColdBlade97]

at 6:56 look at his left hand. When the right hand approaches with the cup you can see green object entering the cup. The first ball he probably placed when he said "Michael is not believing the word I am saying" but we can't see because camera angle is bad.

[@godfatherk7]

what's the name of the song playing from beggining to minute 1?
