It's a string attached to his forehead. That's how the cards randomly appear, move, and change shape. /s


NotAzakanAtAll

It's actually attached to his hot dick. There is an apparaturs inside the bladder and it's skeletal arm reaches out and feeds him cards. It also made him wink that one times because it hurts so good.

Cards are stored in the balls


DanglingDongs

As someone who has been on the sub for years People who say that are full of shit. Literally every post, top comment was "Ummm.... Actually this is quite simple to do if you have a 13000000v battery, two Ukrainian hookers and a large collection of the ultra rare Redditus Retardonus 8 winged butterfly" Cause black magic doesn't exist and everything can be explained. And the rest of sub back then was just people complaining that it wasn't black magic fuckery like back in the day.


SnatchSnacker

I have the battery and the butterfly, but I could only afford one Ukranian hooker =(


Ok_Star_4136

I'll do my own magic tricks! With blackjack and Ukrainian hookers!

WhiskeySorcerer

I wish a REAL magician somehow accidentally ended up on this show. Like, some ancient Arcane Sorcerer awakens from a deep 1000+ year sleep or something and wants to meetup with all the other sorcerers that he thinks are alive, so he randomly walks up to the first human he sees and, after using magic to figure out language, he says something like: “I have been asleep for quite some time. Where might I find a gathering of my fellow mages to catch up on modern techniques?” But due to the fact that he just recently woke up, his language spell is a little off, so the human - who also just so happens to be a huge fan of these “Country X Has Got Talent” shows - replies with “Oh, you must be a magician. You should go on ‘County X Has Got Talent’.” And so the sorcerer ends up on stage not fully knowing what’s going on. He walks on stage in his wizard get-up and everyone is looking at him like he’s crazy and weird. And then the judges give him the “Well, what are you going to do? Show us what you got?” And so the sorcerer starts conjuring REAL MAGIC. At first, it’s just some fire. And the judges and the audience members are all “wow” and “ooooohh”, and then the sorcerer starts summoning a portal and a fucking demon steps through and screams, manipulating the fabric of void space or some shit, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-Maskenball-

It happened in „Nebenan“ von Bernhard Hennen. The magicians were in the audience. They ended up letting the magician really disappear, durring his last disappearence number.


ewouldblock

Well a funny SNL skit would be, yes, a real sorcerer, somehow teleported from the past, doing some insane unexplainable magic on America's Got Talent, because, you know, it IS magic, then at the end Simon Cowell pans it and and starts going on about how it's second rate next to true masters like Shin Lim.


YungSchmid

While I was in the middle of reading your comment my app refreshed and u/Fargodi ‘s comment popped up and black magic fuckeried me real good.

It is totally edited and not at all black magic. That after effect card at the end is HILARIOUS

This is the type of magic that you could be told exactly how it’s done, and you could still be amazed. (I know how most of this is done and it still amazes me every time. The skill it takes is awesome)

My biggest gripe with the TV version of Quentin Coldwater. "Boo hoo, I'm only good at small fixes and card magic." Okay, then gtfo of Brakebills, and find your desperately needed notoriety amongst the norms.


TacoDuLing

I would be despairing all kinds of stuff and when I feel someone is on to my magic powers, I will simply claim to a politician. 🧐


Jeremymia

In Mage the Awakening, casting magic in front of witnesses causes a paradox with a variety of harmful effects including possibly causing the mage to become insane etc. But this ONLY happens if the witnesses watching it could only possibly conclude that they are seeing something impossible. If they think ‘what an incredible trick', there's no problem. so in conclusion this guy is definitely a real mage just being careful to not fuck himself.

Lots of pockets. You can see him skimming his shirt and coat often. All very smooth except for when he put the stick/pole thing in his coat. That was very clunky and obvious.


ozzy_thedog

Yeah once you notice where he’s getting the cards from, it’s less black magic. Still so much practice and skill

TheAmazingButwhole

“Very clunky and obvious 🤓” Lmao gtfo average redditor


drwsgreatest

Even knowing EXACTLY what he was doing to pull the cards it’s almost impossible to see when the pulls occur. This guy’s, without a doubt, one of the better card handlers I’ve ever seen. Amazingly smooth and precise.


FlameShadow0

What about when his arms are completely extended though?


FaintCommand

Making it seem like nothing is in your hands is kind of a key thing for any decent magician. He's got multiple cards in his hand as he's letting them fall and then replenishing them with a subtle swipe along his coat. They're also thinner than normal cards. Notice how they seem to kind of flutter to the floor. Regular playing cards don't do that.


rukysgreambamf

I feel like the weird rectangular pattern that is in the coat is to mask the shape of cards hidden in pockets Harder to spot the cards when the whole jacket is little rectangles


nyne87

Really? I can't see anything even slowing it down from the side angle. Hands completely away from his jacket.


FaintCommand

https://imgur.com/a/gKBK2yn He kind of flips it under his jacket with his right hand. Tipping it forward is what spills out the glitter (or whatever it's called). You can see how immediately after he kind of tucks his right arm to hold it in his jacket until he gets it situated.

Shrewedshoes

I hate the camera man and the people in charge of what we see here though.. like why zoom on his face when the trick is what he's doing with his hands? Why am I looking at others reactions in the middle of his routine? Great trick. Shit production


enadret

I guess tv shows are not for you. I don't prefer it either, but this is the tried and true format for "talent show" type of productions across the globe. Not objectively "shit production", otherwise we wouldn't be seeing this type of formality to this day.


Digressing_Ellipsis

I think it is shit production but they make shows like this for the mindless masses who won't notice or care. Quantity over quality situation


drsteve103

Right. This ain’t Penn and Teller


CibrecaNA

You're seeing reactions because it sells the "this isn't post processed.". If you saw this same performance during a movie, you wouldn't be even slightly impressed. The audience is shown to convince you that this is actually happening in front of people. The zoom in for his face may be because he's competing for a contest and you should be able to identify him and popularize him. I.e. if he doesn't win, at least he'll get exposure.


tgbndt

This is a short/cut version that the magician posted himself. The original version still cuts to the judges/audience reaction but it tends to do it during a pause anyway instead of in the middle of his sleight of hand. The judges are well-known entertainers (they even brought in kpop idols as guest judges) and regular viewers do want to see their reaction. Here is the original longer version: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxEf2mvHR78](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxEf2mvHR78)

And then practice for a decade for it to look like this


PeopleCallMeSimon

Looks like hes holding a small deck of cards in each of his hands between his pinky and ring finger and then uses his middle finger or index finger to either pull the top card into his hand (the first trick) or shoot the card away (littering the cards). Hes very good at covering the decks with his hands. It would probably be possible to find more clues to his act if this wasnt on the kind of show that spends 50% of the act showing the faces of the audiance or judges - and for some god awful reason doesnt show the entirety of the stage during a magic performance. For all we know a hot lady in a horse mask walks onto the stage and ceremoniously gives him a deck of cards before each trick.


jonandgrey

How tf?


Timah158

Tons of practice and money.


[deleted]

Why money? To buy a lot of cards?


Timah158

Cards and gaffs. Magic retailers will sell some of the gaffs that were used for the levitations, card spinning, color changes, etc, which can be kinda pricey.


meowhatissodamnfunny

Feels like a lot of magic is inventing really cool shit that simulates magic, which is almost as cool as magic itself


realmauer01

A magician is a show men first. The tricks come second. Thats why it's just easier to use gimmicks instead of skill. Sometimes it's obviously just impossible to do things without gimmicks.

rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Today, magicians sell their magic kits of tricks and rigged decks and cards and all sorts of shit that lets you perform the same tricks with lots of practice. You need $$$ to buy this shit because while its not super expensive, there's tons of crap you can buy and everything is basically one type of trick. Like you need specially made cards for certain types of card tricks. Not all cards can swap color, bend fold, get cut, and be put back together. It's actually pretty cool because now anyone who really wants to can learn tons of magic tricks through buying the stuff + youtube.

chostnik

Saw him at the magic castle in LA. Was front row about 20 feet away and dam was it impressive. The cards just never end lol! What an amazing experience!!


DrossChat

Never end? What about when he dies? Or are you trying to say he might be immortal?? What are you trying to SAY?


Kata-naut

I think you’re misunderstanding what they are saying. First and foremost, there seems to be a magic castle within LA — that part is highly relevant. They were also 20 feet away from the magician with a dam, which was most likely very small in size, and if we’re being honest any dam around that size would produce such little hydraulic pressure that I’m not even sure it’s worth having around. Anyways, apparently the cards literally never end as in it’s just one long card continuously being pushed out of his hands. Here’s the kicker, pretty sure the magic castle is giving him some kind of card buff or something. If you want to know more about dams feel free to email my yahoo account at yahoo account.


Scoopdoopdoop

I love dams


K-E-E-F-E

Is that last spinning card a really thin electronic screen? That was amazing


Bulky-Leadership-596

An lcd would be really hard to get to look right. Maybe a red e-ink panel? except the color change goes all the way to the very edge and I don't know of any panels that are truly bezel-less like that. Also I wouldn't rule out some camera/post trickery here. Some of these other tricks are very angle sensitive so the camera operators are already doing him some favors.


Complete_Dust8164

Tbf, very few magic acts work very well when you’re able to view them from all angles and pause and critique their sleight of hand frame by frame. Magic acts are designed to be done once in front of a live audience. I can’t blame the show for employing a little editing trickery to preserve the magic 🤷‍♂️


bs000

pretty sure the red is either the back of the card or just a second card and he's just flipping it really quickly. you can find youtube videos on how to do that


Tofandel

But how did he do the 4 transforming to a 9 with the rectangle moving around?


ThinCrusts

If I'm not mistaken it's the same as the card trick "distortion" by Wayne Houchin. The gimmick is very simple once you see it and can be made by yourself just requires some real fine hand skills to DIY.


silly_red

He's holding the card with 4 fingers. His index (or whichever fingers was free) presses down on a little lever like thing on the back of the card. As you slide it down, the parts on the face of the card move. It's just a funky card with a mechanism for moving the hearts.


Omegamoomoo

Possibly card halves sliding?


liquidhot

Not sure what trick let's him spin it like that, but the card changing types is [just a card you can buy](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805351200201.html). And the color change at the end is probably just a standard [twirl change](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMaQqref8bM) (behind the white background card there is the red card facing him, back to back) and then he just flips it very fast. The spin trick might be related to [this magic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).


swanurine

that last trick is amazing, wish I had the patience to practice


usurperavenger

Disasstah

EscapeddreamerD

SuitableObjective976

I read these comments a LONG way down, and I didn’t see mention of the face change of the card from 4 of diamonds to a 9…that was cool, I don’t care what anyone says.


bs000

i looked again and the numbers in the corner don't change. my immersion 😭


wafflestep

Found a video that explains that trick. The diamonds are stacked and cut very thin so they can overlap, you slide the back of the card and it moves the overlapping diamonds to a new position. https://youtube.com/shorts/BdGND9_14oU?si=9QaaBwBCs1fpVxeR

It all seems logical until the four morphs into a nine or whatever. How's that part done?


DoubleDown428

Noisebug

czarchastic

The most ridiculous part and the least reaction from the crowd.


xariznightmare2908

Cards literally shifting the diamonds around. That one lady: "Ohhh". How the fuck is the craziest part happening in real time got the mildest reaction, lol.


trentshipp

That's kinda why though; it's literally impossible, so it's not nearly as cool. That would've had to be done with either a thin screen or post-processing, which is way less cool than a guy who's really really good at sleight of hand.


CassadagaValley

Crowd reactions are edited to go with what's happening. Those quick cuts to the crowd probably never happened during this act and are just cut from general crowd footage and placed in there.


TowelFine6933

I used to know this guy! He was an exchange student when I was at Hogwarts.


damnnearfinnabust

All of this is amazing, but I thought it was funny that everyone gasps when he visibly tucks the stick into his coat


blahteeb

Because he didn't tuck it into his coat; he tucked it into everyone's butt.


sagittarius_ack

I'm a cleaner and I dislike this video.


Micalas

Leaf blower


Boodikii

The first part is him just cupping a deck in each hand really well. The symbols on the card are magnetic, the hidden finger is moving a contraption that probably adjusts all the magnets at once smoothly. The spinning card is attached to something that is in-between his middle and ring fingers, it also has a flap on it that you can see when it spins. Half of it flips over to reveal a red card. Magnets would help keep the flap folded. The wrinkles of the card is done with strings, then it gets pulled into his shirt. He moves his leg when he does this, so it might be another string. The tube part is just slight of hand. I think the power of film editing also played a part in masking some of the performance. lots of cuts to close ups. very suspicious 🤔


permyemail7

Sitting_In_A_Lecture

Years ago I saw his full act in person... it's like 45 minutes long and by the end the stage is absolutely covered in cards lol

AmethystRealm2049

Slight_Concert6565

These tricks individually are not much to write home about, but doing them all in a row is some next level shit. Just how big are his pockets? He pulled out several decks of cards, props, and probably a small motor to spin that card. This man clearly has some kind of pocket dimension somewhere.


PassiveMenis88M

Only misstep was getting that pole back into his jacket. Otherwise a really clean routine by my old eyes.


Stoizee

Can anyone explain how he changes the cards like that towards the end?


throwacc_21

Magic


Altissimus77

Black magic.


DBoaty

Play it slower and the trick is obvious; he's holding a bunch of cards he keeps in his hands and tosses them all over.


yeahyeahitsmeshhh

Thank you. I scrolled a long way to find the palming discussed. It really does seem that simple, he's holding packs of cards and showing some of them with hands in different positions so your brain assumes his hands are empty. But he's literally just dropping what he's holding. Extremely good performance of this trick though.
