Local Shock Illusionist Fools The Whole Morning Crew

Matt Brickman and Ali Lucia talk with Litchfield native Dan Sperry, a "shock illusionist" (5:30). WCCO This Morning - November 17, 2017

[@MiaogisTeas]

This is what it feels like when you're smarter than everyone else in the room.

[@eastonvonschist2283]

That is because he is the smartest guy in the room. News casters are some of the fakest, dumbest people on the planet!

[@ubberJakerz]

I love this guy. His performance on pen and teller was top notch.

[@namegoeshere5220]

Hes really holding back here compared to P&T show. Hes better when hes going off the walls randomly.

[@illusiooonist6386]

The best of the P+T show were the reactions of alyson😂😂

[@TheYtseMan]

4:05 -So many things to give you -Right. Only two. I know, it's hard

[@Map_of_Your_Head]

literally stopped the video at that point for comments lol

[@ziggybloo8938]

Reporter: "So many things to give you" Dan: "Yeah two, I know it's so hard" Reporters body language is fucking hilarious

[@Mbarigui869]

i love the personality on this guy

[@mandy5313]

I love Dan’s sense of humour x

[@ye4702]

1:14 was a joke but they didn’t laugh 😅😅😂😂😂

[@HllwCrcs]

they’re so empty

[@saflip969]

3:00 oops lol Magicial: "there are worse things they could be watching" News Cast: "Yeah, like our typical show..." Magician: "Well...hmm.. I Dont watch it" ....Crickets.... *B* *U* *R* *N* Truth has been revealed. No magic trick there! 😂🤣😂

[@amirshay]

His great, always fun to watch him, also he was awesome on fool us!

[@AlexaKissLive]

That was amazing !!!

[@vorablackwitch9778]

What are We doing now? Oh! Lol. He's so adorable 🖤

[@venerable_nelson]

2:15 "I'll put my head out of frame"... frame follows head.

[@phxnigtmare]

Camera guy need to be fired. Beyond asinine

[@oobidoob5470]

@@phxnigtmare Everyone should be fired after one mistake on live TV.

[@echo1275]

The second switch...I saw it. Very well done.

[@TheFeicao]

4:13: he hide the cards on his pocket and get the spider sclture

[@moonlitegram]

He did it before this. But right idea.

[@brazenloki8417]

Easy trick to figure out if you know anything about magic, but I still love this guy and his other tricks are incredible!

[@lee6228]

WAIT HOW i love this guy XD

[@jiggsawkato3072]

this was excellent i think , after re watching a few times , but in coordinates with there reaction , a home town & probably no sleep , well performed and better yet well prepared

[@michaelflatt4663]

I like his low energy better.

[@balazs7235]

The best invention in magic is pockets. Love Dan!

[@sandirodriguez8000]

Wow!

[@alikhalid6427]

But still love him and he is a pro talented magician

[@michaellunburg8567]

He is brilliant and funny.

[@jalontf2]

Classic force with something he pressed against his fingers for a bit to form the marks. But nicely done

[@scottca9780]

Is this a job ad for a cameraman who knows how to rack a camera?

[@tigeruppercut2000]

A great fun personality to model after

[@letoenchanted172]

hed rather open up for Combicrist than be there. lol

[@otisgore8449]

Poor male host obviously loves magic. He probably had a magic kit as a kid.

[@markblackwell9486]

Geezuz...morning tv...but Dan was great.

[@Timmy-scissorhands1999]

I like his Nosferatu hand tattoo

[@SaylerT]

Me on any morning show.

[@om3g4z3r0]

Why why are they like this? its like news people aren't people they are like aliens pretending to be human and doing a shitty job at it. hahaha ohohoho real emotions guys its what you supposed to feel now do you relate fellow humans?

[@otisgore8449]

Good save.

[@d.mat.zero6525]

Like our typical show

[@harpermckernan3033]

4:57 OH MAH GAWSSSHHHHH

[@johnwalter6410]

4:12 he switches the deck for the spider here. While everyone is looking at the card his hand is behind him.

[@moonlitegram]

You're on the right track but he had already made the switch at that point. You missed his first opportunity because he's good at covering his moves with natural interactions.

[@jamesdickerson6726]

@@moonlitegram no, he's right. You're wrong. It's an omni deck. And you're bad at trying to misdirect.

[@siarmaroca5627]

He's shaking

[@christopherhall5361]

cocaine's a hell of a drug

[@vorablackwitch9778]

Because He's shy & gets nervous, but an audience is obligatory for what He loves to do.

[@MiaogisTeas]

I'm shy, but I've been performing in front of crowds and teaching for years; I still get the shakes, typically because of adrenaline, not nerves. Introverts can learn to exhibit extroverted behaviour, but typically not the other way around.

[@SilentShadovv]

Simplest of tricks, and poor tecnical done, but EXTREMELY great performance! 💪👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@porkchopexpress6890]

Magic Show!! Lol 😂

[@christopherhall5361]

3:29 he totally says fuckin and it goes uncensored XD

[@TheWalkingRed]

"I don't care, it's fine" I get why you thought he cursed. It kind if sounds like fuck when he says its fine

[@zemzembamzem]

"You can put it back, I don't care, it's a fuckin' card."

[@TheWalkingRed]

The other guy starts talking over him so what he actually says is very obscure. It could very well be "fucking card" but I still doubt it.

[@JohneyDrago]

"Put it back, I don't care, it's fine alright."

[@coralreefer4602]

He totally doesn't

[@Pluto-vn8tw]

That was awkward

[@ParanormalResponse]

This was painful to watch.

[@EpicBunty]

Paranormal Response lol why

[@deanshaw6588]

lol the most painful thing was when he asked the dumb bitch not to show anyone and she specificly asked to show the other host like i wanted to punch her in the throat for saying that

[@joshwhitaker5453]

tHiS wAs pAiNfUl tO wAtCh. That's you. That's what you sound like.

[@alikhalid6427]

The second trick didn't fool me... You can see that he takes the second card and put it in his pocket and he keeps the glass spider on his left side which has only one deck on top and bom... A magic trick

[@alikhalid6427]

But still love him and he is a pro talented magician

[@jotavidya]

It's easy to not be fooled when you get to see it through a video, relaxed in your home, with the possibility to watch it again.

[@Muppio]

Seriously, what the hell just happend?

[@coralreefer4602]

That was hard to watch.. Even more than usual for morning news

[@lekoman]

What Minnesota native calls it “Wa-cone-ee-a”? Everyone knows it’s “Wa-con-ya.”

[@CatherinePunjani]

Wow! Isn't he something?

[@michaeljenkins5109]

Like truth?

[@peanuthuddleston8861]

I haven't been a virgin for as long as you've been married

[@mrdarksamurai4427]

This is Bonos bastard child :-))

[@yrigado123]

He gave heart 3. That is not you picked. Hand play.

[@ghostdinimagictv9908]

Wow Well Damn No wonder people always tell me I should be on America's Got Talent now I understand👔🎩

[@biffbifford402]

Most tricks I can’t figure out. These were easy.

[@biffbifford402]

sleight sloth Uhhhh. What?

[@biffbifford402]

sleight sloth I know what I wrote. You re-read what I wrote. You CLEARLY do not have the capability to comprehend simple English. Are you drunk or on drugs?

[@cameronsipka3352]

sleight sloth everytime?

[@TheRealElmoSkateTeam]

That's just a normal card force haha I suck at card magic and I even caught that

[@aqs33]

These were pretty simple tricks. He's capable of more complex stuff, but why waste them on dopes watching a morning show.

[@KillDozer44]

thats so easy lmao he just switches shit when you aint looking

[@seppukun208]

Of course. The hard part is actually performing it under pressure in front of a crowd as well as having the stage personality to go with it.

[@NozomiClips]

Welcome to sleight of hand

[@dougpenn8821]

Not to lame.

[@kaylajean9672]

He is hot!

[@AwkwardBlackGal613]

Yes. He's more comfy on his YT channel though.

[@Ellier215]

He looks very *uckable. 💗

[@AwkwardBlackGal613]

Oh yesss 😻

[@FxBrour]

agreed agreed

[@jamesdickerson6726]

way to admit you have low standards...

[@ashtray0belief]

He reminds me of Rick Sanchez.

[@anthony6318]

.......... Nmmm

[@peanuthuddleston8861]

I do know what men are they oposite of women they go forward , you are weird dan

[@yrigado123]

He tricks card. .Very basic trick.

[@tigeruppercut2000]

Yep pretty basic, especially if you can rewatch again and again... but could you perform in front of the pressure of thousands watching and also keep it high energy and entertaining and not screw up?

[@mikeable1267]

I gave up watching what the camera couldn't get a clear focus on his finger. With an ever lasting choice of u tube videos I quickly switch to the next one

[@FlockofSmeagles]

You ooze superiority. Good for you, dude.

[@moonlitegram]

And yet you took the time to make this comment? Weird.

[@amaanshabeer]

yuck..

[@vjc1218]

lol lamest participants ever?

[@hhhydrom3198]

Omg awful.

[@randomguy9118]

That was like third grade magic

[@Muser4Life]

Well he's not gonna do his usual shock tricks, he might get banned from the daytime news lol

[@KHChatlani]

Lame trick

[@vaslav030547]

Just boring.

[@quintfl]

Trying to be weird makes you look creepy and makes girls scared of you

[@vorablackwitch9778]

Gary W-l-o-t Actually, He's just being Himself. He probably didn't sleep, so not much effort was put into His look, performance, or tricks.

[@quintfl]

He was pretty creepy on Fool Us too.

[@vorablackwitch9778]

That was His creepy character to go along with the bra, cutting Himself, & kill sign. You can see the difference here, He's being Himself. Still awkward & weird, but that's part of His charm 🖤 Plenty of girls like me love Him.

[@nikidrawsmonsters]

Gary W-l-o-t I have bad news for you; ladies love Dan Sperry. The creepy thing works for him. 😍

[@Chaps_Jr]

Hate to break it to you, Gary, but women don't really give a shit about appearance. It's all about the confidence and personality.

[@jamesmayle4712]

The entire point of life: Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. Mathew 20: 28. We are no different. This entire life is a representation of the spiritual warfare going on. Good vs evil. God isn't a flying man in the sky, but the actual representation of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc. Not metaphor, but literally, like an extra demintional wavelength of thought, emotions, and intent. The devil is the opposite wavelength, pain, fear, hate, anger, darkness, etc. Human life is serving one of these two. Not a man in the sky, actual sentient collective universal Love. However, humans are primatives, we make mistakes. It's in our nature, since the fall, to go down the wrong path. This means at some time each one of us has served darkness to some degree. God understands our limited understanding of our own actions, so he gave us forgiveness, though sacrificing himself in human form as Jesus Christ. It is our duty to accept that sacrifice, get the forgiveness, and be better, helping others be better, and spreading this wavelength of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc, thoughout the universe. But God had to make a way for us to get to this place spiritually, this is why evidence is not allowed. Evidence will make you believe, using the fear of absolute punishment to change your behavior, but that won't make you better, just scared. Faith makes you better. It is what redeemes us, not our works. Faith is the hope that things get better, that justice always prevails, that we're at least loved by our creator. But it has to be Faith in Jesus, because of his sacrifice. And there can't be evidence to point us to him, because Love had to be fair. If there were a code in our DNA, what about everyone born before genetic sequencing? If there were a book with the solar system thosands of years ago, what would stop an evil person from hiding/destroying it? If it were something you had to go to, what about the geographically isolated, imprisoned, or enslaved. If it were a train of logic, what about the uneducated, or mentally slow? Not to mention all the people born before schools. Love cannot give to one without giving to the other. So the key to salvation had to be something everyone has access to. The only thing is Faith. This is why God puts it upon your heart to learn about these things, even if it's only to criticize, or hate. God is everywhere, because Love is everywhere, and so is the devil, because hate is everywhere. They're in your head all the time, regardless of weather or not you accept that. They whisper inside your heart, giving you ideas. But more than that, they're inside everyone's heart. This is how they get things done. They corrordanate us like pieces on a chess board. The only difference is, we get to chose who's side we're playing for. At the end of our life, we go to that team's home base, Heaven, or Hell. A place where all that exists is those wavelengths. Hate, pain, anger, fear, darkness; or Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Pleasure, Light. The choice is yours to make. But you cannot go to Heaven with hate in your heart. You must forgive, repent, and spread joy for those around you. These are sentient eternal controlling forces in our universe. Heaven and Hell are very real places, I've seen them. Those steps prime your soul for a meeting with God. Very literally. Once you've done all four, in that order, you get divine revelation, with all the evidence you'll ever need. They are, forgive your parents, brake down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. Step four takes three books to get the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. The order of the steps is important, step 1 has to come before step 3. I can state that for an absolute certainty that these steps always work. Please, take your salvation seriously. See for yourself. Do those steps. Jesus Christ is Lord. It's all True.,

[@NickolasNothing]

Amen. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. No man goes to the Father but by Him. We are saved only by grace, through faith and rooted in love. May He bless and keep you, my brother.
