I've been a hobbyist magician for, oh, 25 years or so, and watched a ton of UA-cam magic over the years. This is the finest performance I have ever seen.
Excellent performance, was very well made with the exaggerated movements that would allow him to do the sleight of hand well. Could only spot one error at 1:53 - 1:54 You can see him put the ball in the cup for a tenth of a second - This could be due to the camera being slightly on the right side of the audience instead of being dead centre.
I've seen this routine, by Yann, a few times, it's always the same routine, but it is fantastic at how quick he can use slight of hand to make a ball and cup appear, disappear and reappear; it's a great spin on an old classic. Also, this is my favorite clip of this routine because of the audience.
The trick is pretty simple, but the show, the way he present it, the timing, his character... everything is absolutly perfect, thus we forget the trick, and it's became really magic :)
Just amazing, even though you can see when things happen, and they're such basic techniques, his skill in execution is beautiful. I can't imagine anyone matching this skill anytime soon.
Same, once I started watching BOTH hands, rather than the one he wants me to watch, it's easy to spot... provided that I can rewind and watch it again more carefully. It's still an impressive performance.
That is not a spoiler. Slight of hand is different from "magic" in that they do not pretend to have special powers... they simply have the special power of skill. We all know HOW he did it, but the effectiveness of HOW HE DID IT is fantastic and you and I cannot replicate that. Good presentation of it here too.
Someone is hiding under the table, passing him stuff and throwing the balls... still one of the most impressing and creative magicians i've seen, well done.
I have watched this enough times that I can see all the little slight of hand he does, but it this is still entertaining if only for the story it tells.
Spotted the first slip up. pause at 1:06. you can see that the third ball that appears, doesn't actually appear from inside the cup (when he lifts the cup) but from behind the cup. he drops it there at the same time as grabbing the cup to lift it.
SPOILER Pt. 1 0:07 switches the cups 0:16 puts his finger on the ball so it wont fall out of the cup 0:22 drops the ball in the cup 0:27 takes out another ball under the table then puts his finger on the ball in the cup. then throws away the new ball (the original still in the cup) 0:32 dumps the original ball out 1:03-04 puts another ball in the cup while showing the other one.
4:02 while throwing the ball, he throws himselft another ball with his left hand to his right or he throws a ball from under the table with ball hand and holds the original ball in his right. 4:06 dunno.. 4:26 switches the cups (there's a cup filled with water) and drops the ball
Yeah, I saw that too! But that was pretty much... the ONLY mistake I saw. Everything else was phenomenal and I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the floor.
He is wearing mascara and deliberately has his hair messy as if he just woke up, it's part of the act, he is playing the part of a person having a bad day with nothing going his way.
yes one does, I can pick apart most of this thanks to penn and teller, but there a few parts I have trouble with still. The only problem I have is with how fast he loads / ditches the tin cup and when he loads the cough ball
Wait, so you mean this is all just a trick? He's not really supernatural in any way? You have rocked the foundations of my world, and I thank you for the profound clarity, kind sir.
This guy's amazing! His routine looks like a Pixar short film! And the choice to grow a beard adds so much in terms of character development.
I've been a hobbyist magician for, oh, 25 years or so, and watched a ton of UA-cam magic over the years.
This is the finest performance I have ever seen.
Unbelievable sleight of hand
Such people are gifted by birth.
yes very correct what trick with his two hands, very very well exibited his talent
+Hemanth Kallakuri Birth has nothing to do with that. It is work!
Not to mention dexterity and hand-eye-coordination
Excellent performance, was very well made with the exaggerated movements that would allow him to do the sleight of hand well.

He reminds me of Doug Rattmann from Portal!

I've watched this so many times and I still can't pick up half of what he's doing.
Just amazing.
Amazing performance artist. Each of those three words were an understatement.
Сделал настроение на весь вечер!
Magic like I've not seen before. Brilliant! Virtuoso performance!!! Bravo! Kudos!
One of the best videos I've seen for a long time. Very well done.
I saw this live yesterday at Magic Live in Las Vegas by Yann, and it is the most astonishing pieces of magic and juggling I have ever seen.
Very fast very accurate. He's beating our visual FPS with some of those moves. Amazing illusions and some very unique moves there.
Bravo.
Greatest performance ever! So well done!
Can't wait to see this movie! The trailer looks awesome!

Increíble trabajo y magnífico.
Brillante!
The magic of simplicity and execution. Introducing French magician Yann Frisch, winner of this year's Beijing International Magic Convention.
Wow, I enjoyed that alot. What a great talent!
Great routine. Very entertaining combination of slight of hand, juggling, and comedy/clowning.
Even with the unfairness of rewinding the video to look for a flaw it is still amazing.
Wow, very nice nice. Best SOH I've seen in a long while ...
made my day. AMAZING performance
Absolutely beautiful act.
Very Charlie Chaplin-esque
Same, once I started watching BOTH hands, rather than the one he wants me to watch, it's easy to spot... provided that I can rewind and watch it again more carefully. It's still an impressive performance.
yes indeed my good man, it is all just a trick... and im flattered to have been the one to enlighten you...
This is truly a whole other level of physical comedy.
cant stop watching this... incredible
Absolutely loving it!
unbelievable sleight of hand. All of the movements play into the misdirection he frequently used in the act. well done
I love this guy sooo much
Dan thanks for this brilliant show :)

That is crazy.
面白い手品だね！見てて楽しくなってきちゃった！
Someone is hiding under the table, passing him stuff and throwing the balls... still one of the most impressing and creative magicians i've seen, well done.
I saw one or two barely, that was awesome!
Incredibly entertaining, a great laugh - WELL DONE.
I don't care how he did it - its fantastic :D
I have watched this enough times that I can see all the little slight of hand he does, but it this is still entertaining if only for the story it tells.
Talent! lots of practice, respect!
This is the best video editing ever. 19 people agree.
the description of this video is spot on
playing insane person came to him quite naturaly after practicing this act for 1000000th time
Impressive... Very impressive the Force is strong with this one.
the title means: Bejing International Magic Conference - Yann Frisch (French) ... and the show is called "Ball"
One word: Incredible
No hay dudas de que él es el campeon ! Y además ésa rutina tiene pases distintos a la original !! Habría que compararlas y ver cuál es mejor
No description available. Most accurate thing i've ever read.
The fact that this guy doesn't need a fancy suit to do this routine is amazing (It also matches with the style of the performance).
Mastery....
I love how distinct Asian amazement is.
This is so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:52 You can see the ball in his hand while turning the cup! Still, really amazing
If you slow the video at 1:00 you can see how he does everything
FENOMENAL!!!
wow! upgraded version than what i have previously watched ^^ genius!
Eccezionale ! Fantastico ! WOW !
A few slip ups, and I can see how he did most of the sleights, but then some I can only infer because he's so damn fast. Good job.
pretty sure the slapstick humor is intended to entertain the audience. the audience also wow and clap at his amazing sleight of hand tricks as well.
Great act!
I think I speak for everybody when I say: "wat"
such cool and simple tricks
Spotted the first slip up. pause at 1:06. you can see that the third ball that appears, doesn't actually appear from inside the cup (when he lifts the cup) but from behind the cup. he drops it there at the same time as grabbing the cup to lift it.
ESSE CARA É MITO!
He acted as if he was in an old silent film. very good skills
i can follow his hands. but even though you can see where he's getting those stuff, it still appears magical.
I would love to see a slow motion camera film this just to put into perspective how extremely fast he is. I also think it would look pretty cool.
Simply amazing! Veeeery nice!
This is truly Amazing.
A man who has many OPINIONS brought me here.
Other than Jason Latimer's take on cups and balls, this is my favourite routine!!
SPOILER Pt. 1
0:07 switches the cups
0:16 puts his finger on the ball so it wont fall out of the cup
0:22 drops the ball in the cup
0:27 takes out another ball under the table then puts his finger on the ball in the cup.
then throws away the new ball (the original still in the cup)
0:32 dumps the original ball out
1:03-04 puts another ball in the cup while showing the other one.
I think this video sums Dan up pretty well actually...
This is freakin' ART.
4:02 while throwing the ball, he throws himselft another ball with his left hand to his right
or he throws a ball from under the table with ball hand and holds the original ball in his right.
4:06 dunno..
4:26 switches the cups (there's a cup filled with water) and drops the ball
Me encanta
RESPECT FROM POLAND !!
Yeah, I saw that too! But that was pretty much... the ONLY mistake I saw. Everything else was phenomenal and I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the floor.
The guy is Quickly faster than mostly some
Bravo! He should get some sleep though...
He is wearing mascara and deliberately has his hair messy as if he just woke up, it's part of the act, he is playing the part of a person having a bad day with nothing going his way.
Lemenks it was a joke.
koalificated youre a joke
Realistikk513 youre a towel!
Lo conoscevo già da un po' :P
GREAT WORK MAN ...CONGRATTS!
you can see how he does it sometimes but he does it fast and very clean
Awesome, but ouch! when he hits his head on the table... Very funny and entertaining!
He dont hit his head on the tabel he hit the tabel with his foot or knee
yeah we all know that he's just dropping stuff in his lap and picking it back up, but it's how fast and masterfully he does it that's amazing
Fantastic!
IMPRESIONATE
co nie zmienia faktu, ze jest dobry w tym co robi.
there is a send feedback button. use it.

EXTRAORDINARY and AMAZING! ;) :)
His life is to entertain others. He is what we call an entertainer. What do you do?
amazing work
This performance is so perfect xD
That was magical.
Simply beautiful routine.
Wait, so you mean this is all just a trick? He's not really supernatural in any way? You have rocked the foundations of my world, and I thank you for the profound clarity, kind sir.
Love it!
merci!
