And even a lot of it isn't sleight of hand, it's just his insane skill at shuffle stacking and being able to count and keep track of where the cards are.
Anybody who is discouraged from doing something or believe they are topped out at their profession, watch Jason's card mechanics... He is a master class of persistence and training over and over and over. He is an inspiration. He is the one guy that doesn't do "Tricks" or illusions... It is unwavering skill. At this point I doubt Jason would even touch gimmick decks, I doubt he would ever want that to tarnish his skill
I've watched this guy for a few years now. I love his lighthearted sarcasm that he incorporates online to chastise non believers. He is truely amazing.
I respect this man's demeanor. There are people that excel in their fields, but when they open their mouth you feel the arrogance. I respect people that stay humble, direct and uncorrupted by their success. Jason has exactly that.
@BrianHiles-y3q, if you did follow him from when he started getting popular, you would see him gradually change his online persona in response to what was making his channel grow faster. The arrogant demeanor and smack talk are all a persona he adopted because people tuned him to see the arrogant him fail.
Ey, a small nuance. Don't trust his comment section, he deletes a lot of comments and leave the ones failing to find the trick or the ones with expressions of amaze. I remember he dare us in Tiktok to reveal one of his tricks and he ended blocking my 2 accounts just because I hit the solution
@@dim5305 Card magicians dont care if people know and can explain how its done. As he said in this interview it take years or decades to master the tricks, so knowing how its done can make it even more amazing. And a typical 30 second reel will contain many tricks all pieced together, not just one "solution". To properly explain how a trick is done you'd need pages of text, or show it in video format, which a lot of people do. You can just look up how tricks are done. No magician is going to pretend what they are dong is real magic by deleting comments. Its way more impressive when you understand how hard these tricks are to execute. I know he puts the pin of shame on comments that are so confidently wrong in their guess. Id have to see the trick and the comments you made to made to try to figure out why he blocked you, if that happened.
So cute and natural way of interviewing you have 👌👌👌 . Jason has been so good at understanding and replying appropriately except the last question, 'advice by Jason to a person who wants to be a Jason', his answer was just partial. Buck up and keep it up. 10/10 🌹
@@RingJando One thing I caught on early in the video was - buy some cheap magic gimmick.... which to me, and perhaps as a new magician with disabilities, is where I'm starting. I get that he is very good, worked very hard and skilled with good presence. Maybe I'm sensitive, but why put down something people start with as beginner?
Jason at this point I had no idea you were so involved in the magical aspects of card magic. I believed you were just a very efficient mechanic with cards. The fact that you brought up cups and balls and dive Right into the linking rings and maybe you didn't say that but I'm very impressed, as a magician, your background knowledge and interest in magical arts...
haha I love the pleasant, sweet, affable demeanor for the first seven and a half minutes, like PBS squeaky clean....he finds the ace and "What the fugg" It's so relatable
Hey Jay, thanks so much for taking the time to say that. It's really the kind of stuff that keeps me/us going. I think these stories are interesting....and even if the YT algorithm doesn't, it's enough knowing that other people enjoy it too.
Mann, I tried so hard with this one. I think it was set to a variable frame rate so it just kept changing. Drove me nuts Thanks for checking out the episode though. I think it’s part of his personality, but it is just a character he’s playing
Jason at this point I had no idea you were so involved in the magical aspects of card magic. I believed you were just a very efficient mechanic with cards. The fact that you brought up cups and balls and dive Right in the linking rings and maybe it didn't say that but I'm very impressed, as a magician, where's your background knowledge and interest in magical arts...
First time I tried that trick he teaches, I cut a bunch of times following along. I go to do the face up part. I apparently perfectly cut the cards so the card that was picked was right on the bottom. I wish I knew how I did that. Cause it would be cool to replicate. lol
I watch Jason on instagram he’s absolutely amazing 🤩 and the wow factor blows me away every time I watch him , there’s not a trick I can say I think I have an idea of how he does it he’s just pure perfection if he comes to uk 🇬🇧 I would definitely go to his shows. ❤
Dude what is with the Pointless segment…? You’re shooting yourself in the foot, that could be a second video/view/ad/opportunity for monetization. Also, I guarantee only a small percentage of viewers finish a video with that weird ass cut. This is a professional feeling interview, edit it like it is.
"Really easy" is a bit overstated lol. It's still a great trick and even if the 'trick' is simple, its all in the seamless execution which could take years to master. Even knowing the technique I would have a ton of trouble both spotting it and certainly in executing it
I collect playing cards, it confuses me that he says they only made bicycle rider backs once and never to be made again. Does he mean a particular year or before uspcc moved to their new factory or what? Because they still make rider backs and it's the main deck they produce. Or was it just a troll and he means he just uses a plain jane card for consistency.
It was about the change in location. Richard Turner talks about doing the same thing before the old factory closed. Even though the cuts and standards are still the same, the old factory machines just gave them a different feel compared to todays.
He is talking about the deck that Richard Turner created. The bicycle gold seal. They're traditionally cut, they have bee stock and they're inspired in the old rider backs so that's the best deck in the world and now USPCC is not fabricating it anymore. That's why he says thay
thank you for the interview... and the video. just feedback from a guy that has never edited a video. at the end when jason was performing a trick - the audience is laser focused on what HE is doing... every time you were answering his question, you would put the camera on yourself which was extremely jarring. Just keep the camera on the performance! BUT THANK YOU ALL THE SAME!
Thanks for the feedback. Always appreciate hearing from people. Unfortunately we used a recording platform that did all the switching. Needless to say, we didn’t use that platform again
If you pause or go 0.25x speed at 47:21 you can spot the K and 10 of spades as he spreads them with his finger, but there's no 9 of hearts to be seen anywhere. That's because the 9 of hearts was cut to the top... his blue deck was entirely memorized. He knew exactly which cards were at which positions. 27 cards down is the 9 of hearts. All of the "shuffling" was false shuffling. So he controlled the 9H to the top or near the top (which he made sure to cover when spreading) and then culled all the in between cards as he riffled down until the victim said stop. POOF, the 9H now appears to be between the KS and 10S.
So according to your description, the guy just happened by chance to name the number 27, which was the numbered position the 9 was at..? Erm, no. You are so wrong.g
@@paulhamj6175 I'm not saying @onehotseat is right or wrong about his theory. But you seem to misunderstand him. Hes saying if Jason memorized every card in the blue deck he would instantly know pos 27 equals 9 of hearts. If another number was named he would instantly know what card was a that posion. He then puts away the blue deck and now knows to find the heart of 9 in the other deck and force that card when he picks a card. I'm not sure its done that way but there would be no "chance" involved if he uses that method "just" an insane memory and sick slight of hand!
At 45:12 when you slow it down to 0.25x speed, there's a jump cut, did he ask you to take out a few frames? It's right where the card would appear between the 2 jokers, it's pretty suspicious.
fun interview but the cuts away from the magically appearing 8 of clubs to your reaction was driving me up a wall. id have liked to just focus on the trick lol
That’s the show. The profound (Jason) and the pointless (second half). I get that it’s kinda a surprise but I haven’t figure out a better way to do it yet. This is a rant on my part….but some people like only the first part, some only the second and some like both.
the transition could be smoother! What about a short thank you to the guest and then an outro-song? Loved the interview, btw. As a card magician myself I grew up on Darwin Ortiz’ work and routinely came across Jason’s work. He is extremely skilled ❤
Last trick from Jason is surprisingly simple. Both decks are stacked, he knows the position of every card. The stack tells him what position your chosen number’s card is. The second deck/same stack allows him to do a simple card control and force the same card from the red deck.
If i was him ida stfu and just been a poker dealer and deal my buddy winning hands. The way he deals, and the way his slight of hand is, and if you weren't too greedy, it would nearly be impossible to detect
A good interview, but man that demo section sucked. If a magician is showing a trick, you don't cut away to show your own mug, not even for a split second. The video quality was awful too. Jason could have been doing anything he wanted and we'd never have been able to tell. The jerkiness and blurriness meant there were any number of controls he could have been doing and none would have been possible to see.
This guy slept with my wife. I found out she was cheating and filed for divorce. Lost the kids, house, dog, job. Was allowed to keep my truck. Now I'm sleeping in my truck. I don't know how to get my life back in order.
@@fratecucodrul9474 no. As men they always tell us to be strong. Idk how to be strong right now. Im sleeping on an air mattress in my truck bed. Winter is gonna suck
@Profoundly Pointless - a little ADVICE. Why are you going to have the world’s greatest card mechanic on your channel doing card tricks, to then proceed to cut to YOUR face over and over again WHILE he’s doing the trick? Please use some common sense next time and do better. Other than that great show
He Carl. Thanks for checking out the video. It wasn’t by choice. We had to use a different recording program than usual and it automatically cuts back and forth at the source. There was no way around it.
Blah blah blah ….Jason whatever … who; seriously still uses wired ear buds!? Just stop. You’re not hip. Get out of your past. Nice magic Jadon - it’s good.
Jason is one of the best sleight of hand artists around today, probably living legend status, and an inspiration to card mechanics everywhere.
I was amazed by how good he was
Douglas Conn is great as well!
The replies he gets on his youtube shorts are awesome as well!
And even a lot of it isn't sleight of hand, it's just his insane skill at shuffle stacking and being able to count and keep track of where the cards are.
A combination of magic and mechanics A+
This is the best interview with Jason out there. Deserves a lot more credit.
Thanks! Really appreciate the kind words and you taking time to check it out. We tried to do him justice. Great magician

Well I feel the arrogance from him but… well deserved lol
@@HyperSpin07the arrogance is an act. Its over the top for a reason. I can’t stand actual arrogant people, but he’s doing it as an act/joke.
What? Humble he is not. The only question remaining to be answered is: Is this his primary personality, or his professional persona?
@BrianHiles-y3q, if you did follow him from when he started getting popular, you would see him gradually change his online persona in response to what was making his channel grow faster.

love watching jasons videos hes just so good, glad you had him on
Thanks for checking it out. He’s seamless
@@profoundlypointlesshe is I just found him n I’m struck!
Jason is so good that people always think he uses camera-tricks. Just look at the comment section on his videos 😎

Buck up and keep it up.

Jason is my favorite magician! ❤
What an extraordinary talent. And what a lot of deck’s of cards! Brilliant video.
I love people that have an enjoyment, love and commitment for what they do and Jason certainly fits the criteria.
This is a great interview.
Ambitious, young Jason committed his life to playing around with his deck.
Just discovered this Ladanye.... he is cocky and antagonistic, but i like it... very authentic.
The character works so well for him, it's so much better than the typical magician
a bit of a jerk - too bad he has to speak
@@RingJando One thing I caught on early in the video was - buy some cheap magic gimmick.... which to me, and perhaps as a new magician with disabilities, is where I'm starting. I get that he is very good, worked very hard and skilled with good presence. Maybe I'm sensitive, but why put down something people start with as beginner?
His level of confidence is higher than most
Cool interview, but lol at the abrupt ending xD "righ-"
Absolutely stunning! Blown away Mind captivating

It's so relatable
Doesn't appear to use 'gimmick' cards, it looks like pure skill. The 'Messi' of card magic.
My FAVORITE that boggles me is the poker chip landing on the card. I bought your lecture and getting your books.
You don't get nearly as many views and subs as you deserve bro. You are a better interviewer than most of these "big names" with podcasts
Hey Jay, thanks so much for taking the time to say that. It's really the kind of stuff that keeps me/us going. I think these stories are interesting....and even if the YT algorithm doesn't, it's enough knowing that other people enjoy it too.
Great interview but it's a bit frustrating that the camera cuts away from the cards during the magic demonstration
I will never make the mistake of using Zoom speaker mode for interviews again. I tried to fix it but there was no way. Thanks for checking it out.
@@profoundlypointless It's ok man, I still enjoyed the interview :) Thanks for the reply and for having Jason over and asking great questions!
He is a Grand Master, it's a simple as that.
he comes off more humble here than in his youtube shorts. i like it. nice interview thanks
couldnt be that hard to sync up the audio though lol
Mann, I tried so hard with this one. I think it was set to a variable frame rate so it just kept changing. Drove me nuts
Thanks for checking out the episode though. I think it’s part of his personality, but it is just a character he’s playing
@@profoundlypointless no worries you rule
😂 yeah this is an interview as opposed to a show where he's in character, but his character matches him so well it's so believable
Jason Ladayne keeping kayfabe alive 😂

He is very very good and I like not knowing how to do it! Love the wonder of it!
Haven’t watched yet but am intrigued to see Jason not “in character” in which he turns the snark up for comedic effect.
One of the Best , Hard work pays off 💫
I swear he should introduce himself as “Ladanye, Jason Ladanye”. The dude is too cool.
Awesome interview. Well structured. I'm buying his books to learn. Bit of a side note, do a proper outro please
I Love this interview!
even when i know the trick after he explains it im still blown away
Jason is just..... if i ever make it/win the lottery, im flying him over for my first party
First time I tried that trick he teaches, I cut a bunch of times following along. I go to do the face up part. I apparently perfectly cut the cards so the card that was picked was right on the bottom. I wish I knew how I did that. Cause it would be cool to replicate. lol
What a great video.
He's so good with his hands. Last night his sister said I was better.
I’ve seen pictures of Jason hanging with some TOP guys who do The Real Work.
jason is absolutely filthy good

Thanks for the vid. Thus came up on my feed. Just a tip. Say the name of the person you're interviewing
This guy is dope
Seriously I've just practiced the first trick three times and the random card was the 3 of diamonds each time, maybe Jason is working with spirits 🤣🤣

Wondering the same thing
Pretty sure he was trolling.
Wondering the same. I assumed he meant the ones printed in Ohio.

How'd he do that?

I love your left eye ;D
The best card manipulator, hands down.
I love Ladanyes works
fun interview but the cuts away from the magically appearing 8 of clubs to your reaction was driving me up a wall. id have liked to just focus on the trick lol
I agree. Unfortunately the recording program we used did the switches and we were stuck
I left that same comment about selling his soul, but I was just joking
Roy is the goat
Give me the boy and I'll show you the man.
He cut the deck 22 times. I counted.
What's with the random change at 49 minutes? It was very jarring to randomly switch to a new person. I thought we'd hear more about magic .

Jason, if you invented a car that ran on water you would end up dead.
Jason is beyond good. He has a massive ego .... and its totally justified. Guy is on a different level.
You couldnt do better than 360p ?

Played before you knew it was a game.

He magically disappeared. We use to do the whole show as one episode. We've started splitting it now though

I’m curious what you mean. You didn’t like the interview or you didn’t like hearing about the behind the scenes stuff
great interview but, jesus christ, the interviewer needs to stay off camera.
So he demonstrates a trick and you switch cameras to your face instead of showing the trick uninterrupted. Frustrating. Can't watch any more.
The Guy is hatefull. I dont care if he is a real magician, Its full of himself.
sad you took other people interview to do this
