The Rose

[@magicmandaniel]

just would like to point out that kevin invented and marketed this particular routine! all credit to his great performance

[@SolitaireNZ]

So YOU'RE the one that designed that trick. Genius.

[@UmmOopsy]

This response said what everyone said

[@Rowdy1937]

Yes, life is a illusion, and we need to wake up and smell the roses...

[@Faukerz]

I feel like i was deaf in my left ear that entire time.

[@JamieSnell402]

He was great on king of queens.

[@mgdiaz2158]

I don't like that you can see when he attached the paper rose to the invisible thread, then pretends like there's nothing holding it up.

[@ArtiesMagic]

Very Cool!!! Great Routine Kevin...

[@wongisright]

So elegant.

[@MsLianamusic]

!!! wow !!! i love him !

[@SavageInsight]

Aww, she's beautiful

[@bvssvni]

Cool! But I saw how the rose appeared, nice done :-)

[@Monyamu]

The girl seems like she knows when she needs to bow....

[@HenriWhiteMagic]

Looks like a larger Adam Savage (in a good way :D)

[@PaulTheillusionist]

Unbelievable!

[@flamedrag18]

@azulcelestep yeah, he took it out from in his jacket, neat trick for the kid though.

[@killazerg1]

@Faukerz Ahhhh, I'm really deaf in my right ear, what the hell were they saying?

[@ShelbyDoroshow]

that is awesome he was on agt

[@danielamin]

0:54 - He's going to roll a joint!

[@billgreen3138]

no offense danielmin but your mind thinks like mitchell leary in google in groups at alt.magic.secrets ps he talks like you great minds think alike

[@christianf21]

yeah its linked to the microfone stand, very impresive trick! The fire in the end adds excitement and breaks the thread to release the connection with kevin :) Its a very impresive flawless routine!

[@si1970full]

let me just pull this rose out my right pocket lol

[@CheckEmOut488]

aww my right earphone broke :(

[@Nirvanabro95]

I fuckin love him!

[@DavidM1337]

its well done, and nobody expects the microphone to be the most important part of the trick.

[@chri095k]

If i were that girl, i would have grap the flying rose!

[@nuhverah]

epic WIN.*raises hand* ooh pick me!pick me! :D

[@sheylalala]

Yo kiero una!!!

[@JonesTones89]

Agreed the rose part I could see but the rest.. hmmm

[@xpressOchild]

@MalieSprinkle Even though this was performed by Copperfield over 2 decades ago? I mean, I get it if that's true; kinda like a songwriter writing for a pop star. If the songwriter decided to perform that song as her own, especially years later, it would be challenging for the audience to be 100% with the writer. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but Kevin James seems fairly new. If he DID help design illusions for David Copperfield, that's impressive; but he lacks in intrigue, comparatively speaking.

[@samyruo101]

i k how to make the paper move w/ you, and i k how to make the rose appear, but i can't figure out how to make the paper rose stay there in mid air, cause it always follows me :P

[@o0ohighflyingo0o]

@Faukerz You mean your right ear ?

[@nboproductions]

in the last part he pulls a rose from his jacket

[@ChristopherHProductions]

whoa

[@Chimchar7089]

Lmao 1:06 gay smile XD

[@ferinate101]

how did he make it levitate?

[@ImDawgs]

I WONDER WHY HIS COAT MOVES WHEN HE MOVE HIS FINGERS,,,,

[@MalekMalshy]

look at his right hand on 2:53 , he takes the real rose out of his pucket or something ....

[@dbspaceoditty]

i love tricks like this. they are rather easy. but fun. step 1(take mic away so you cant here him explaining the trick) step 2. tie string to her hand. step 3. move string

[@borgs0685]

his just fast i saw that he already have that flower in slow motion..

[@namizmo]

Haha I can fix your sound.

[@forkandahalf]

i liked the trick up until the point where i didn't look at the fire but at his right our left side hand other than that, great

[@xpressOchild]

wow! Way to rip off Copperfield!!!

[@HuckleberryHalloween]

Notice that he carries out the microphone stand, there is invisible thread (avalible on ebay amazon ect.), going from the microphone stadd to his ear (healed there by clay or wax) there is a piece tied on to that forming a T with a long top. Also notice that he moves his fingers around the rose before it floats. he puts the red rose in his hand secretly while you are distracted by the tissue rose and the lighter the tissue rose is made of flash paper so it will make a large flash to distract you

[@kobebyant12345]

hes a little bit over weight. good job though

[@digitalwarfares]

David Copperfield performs it sooooo much better.

[@znelson32]

Truly one of the classics in every way. I know the method but when Kevin grabs the paper rose and smells it towards the end is actually mind blowing that it doesn’t break the method. Bravo

[@Cris-ih3jx]

Excellent😌

[@mikeneed7190]

To Think It Was Amazing Spending Time With You In The Bar In Kalamazoo Michigan Maybe One Day Well Meet Again...

[@davidshareefChTPhD]

I've been performing this since 1994 and now I'm performing it off of Stevie Wonder send her your Love

[@mykilpee]

Just saw this tonight love. It was a beautiful routine. I seriously love it. Well done.

[@billgreen3138]

very cool magical kevin and be safe in Christ and your whole family and friends

[@kingrobert1st]

But she never smelt the rose!

[@farrypro]

😏

[@vamsisaivenkat]

really amazing string illustration sir I can't understand how would u handle them u really amazing me supab sir

[@Pokemonplayer-qw3vu]

whats the music plz?

[@a.b.4052]

Ancestral nuance. By James coatle.

[@rome2010ist]

wow big fail mother bitchy Kevin u can see when he is trying to burn the paper rose with lighter held in his left hand , same time he pulls a real rose with his right hand from his shitty jacket the size does not match fail fail fail fuck ya

[@caleboh9649]

what the lol

[@MrBiko12]

So what still fun

[@bhuvanesh538]

aleak a is that u found...haha..? its called illusion dude...:P for entertainment...:D

[@ElMagoRob]

lmfao

[@OBrienMagic]

You mean magic isn't real? like santa claus and jesus?

[@surgeithesinner]

Think I come up with something creative and Kevin has beat me to it by several years.

[@JohnSmith-yl9en]

He designs magic tricks for Copperfield and the like

[@vitaliysavchyshynatvitaliy9877]

John Smith he is an inventor. He didn’t invent this for copperfield specifically, copperfield just asked to teach him that 30 years ago.

[@JonnyJones324]

Such beautiful magic

[@MaskedGreenmagician]

Cool illusion kevin James and your ultra lights cool too friend :)

[@anotherfool9278]

aw that was cute

[@pascalelhakim6738]

Really does take a genius to find that out! Wow! I salute you!

[@quelorepario]

Why not? I practice magic tricks that are 100 years old, where is the rule that says that old tricks can't be performed anymore?

[@quelorepario]

Haha, this is one of the best tricks ever. I won't spoil the Kevin's effect. But you should see David Copperfield's rendition of this trick, his performance is flawless.

[@vincentlem2534]

Yes. Agreed. Kevin invented it but I saw Copperfield perform it live. Even though I knew exactly how it was done, he did it perfectly and I could not see anything. David performs this the best.

[@carlosaugusto-mo2hb]

so how does he move the paper like that ?

[@vallenthorpe6495]

carlos augusto there is a invisible rope tied to the cielieng and right as he starts believing in Jesus is the exact moment that he drops the vase and trap door down the back of his pants then to make the rose Floyd he drinks some water and puts his frets close together or else it won’t peel off like a yogurt lid

[@carlosaugusto-mo2hb]

how did the the floating with the paper ?

[@a.b.4052]

He has magnets in the stage and the paper is made of limestone thus is floats on top of magnets.

[@xNAILEDxITx]

Just because something didnt exist doesnt mean he could self-manifacture it, it also doesnt mean he couldve made a similiar device long before the pen was invented. Illusionists invent their own devices to stay ahead of the curve and the longer they maintain the secret, the more succesfull their show is So dont dismiss the theory simply because you didnt know about it

[@xNAILEDxITx]

2:52 his hands go in his pocket to grab the rose, he uses the fire as a distraction.

[@rsguitar335]

WOW....really?! How observant!

[@dropdead059]

2.36

[@faarhaannkhan-kb3vh]

o really lol

[@superamazingproduct]

Kevin created it for David Copperfield.

[@KindofMagic42]

You can see the blocks of air air under the rose.

[@Alisa20015]

his blazer or suite is blocking at 2:55 when he is getting the rose from his right and u can see he puts it up

[@bdufek1]

Know how he did the floating...but the rise at the end was incredible

[@edwardoldman3363]

How?

[@bdufek1]

edward oldman there is invisible string you can buy that you can attach to everyday items with wax. Depending on how you wrap the string around your finger, depends on how the object might move.

[@LegendofBaba]

He was clearly palming something since 0:26 in his left hand let alone 2:53

[@kingrobert1st]

There was nothing to palm. The ITR is hidden somewhere in his jacket. The other end on the mic stand. Thats all there is apart from a cig lighter and a rose.

[@LikeAsir8]

Kevin James designed tricks for David Copperfield

[@limo507]

Zbouba :V

[@faarhaannkhan-kb3vh]

mr kevin this trick was performed 20 years ago by David copperfield

[@TommyBoy249r]

faarhaann khan He knows. He designed it.

[@quelorepario]

actually it although Kevin invented it, he kinda sucks. The way that Copperfield performs it is a work of art.

[@billgreen3138]

quelorepario david seth kotkin added the hoop hand pass and difernt way of microphone stand thread hook up copperfield takes orginal ideas then adds his twist idea concepts to them he and his illusion crew brain storming ideas ps hope this helps ps douglas henning saved magic and copperfield perserved it and doug gave most of his illusions to copperfield and copperfield added his own style to them and differnt or simular gaffing ideas

[@quelorepario]

nope, not to his right hand. as you can see when the girl makes the paper move, and Kevin's finger don't move.

[@KacyL]

Nice, simple elegant. Bravo! BTW, this is a performed on stage, where your perspective is very different than on video, and you can't watch it over and over. If you were in the crowd, it is highly unlikely you would see him holding the rose until after the flame - unless you were expecting it.

[@rubioj6]

He is not using a spider pen or a reel. Its a whole different hook up. This effect was created before spider pen pro was created. Check out his DVD, its worth the purchase.

[@GamerXian]

the top comments..what do you expect.. if you were on stage you wont see it.. cuz of teh hhuge flame in front of you.. the flame is a distraction and its part of the trick.. thats one thing that makes this trick one of my faves.. actually.. its my #1 fave!

[@aceofspades02]

I'm not impressed about the rose switching, I'm impressed about the paper rose levitation. Can thou explain that? . Ace

[@Felistoteles]

Google for "Spider Pen Pro". I don't know if he uses this device but mayby something similar.

[@XXVIIDJBRAZILHerbert]

2:53

[@XXVIIDJBRAZILHerbert]

he as the rose in his hand 2:50

[@davidshareefChTPhD]

Stfu!

[@GreenhornN1]

0:43 he looks as if he does somthing maybe to her leg

[@joannegomesc]

when i saw this episode i was totally in love with this guy !

[@DivorcedPinoy]

How it's done: (spoiler) There is a string attached from his shirt to hers so he is hitting the hope carefully so it doesn't break. Making it move like so.

[@Magic_Max_childrens_performer]

DivorcedPinoy you couldn't be further from the truth

[@marcosovideo]

nope wrong. (6 years too late lmao)

[@Nameless999]

lol good thing i saw your comment i thought one of my speakers had blown out or something

[@something_nothing]

I have no idea how he got it to float, but if you pause just right at 2:55, you can see he has a seperate actual rose.

[@csebr002]

This is a fantastic trick!

[@kjkj2711]

الدقيقة 2:55 واضح من وراه ماخذها في كل مكان السعوديين ههههههههه
