Tom Scott being in the thumbnail is, at this point, clickbait :P
yep
It certainly is if you completely throw out the meaning of the word clickbait :P
Tom Scott's in the thumbnail, could be clickbait
Tom Scott's in every f***ing frame in the video, can't be clickbait
clickbait is just something that makes you click. It doesn't have to be inappropriate, I think.
Well yeah, he's red and he's pointing, like an arrow
when this video was made tom didnt have that many subs
Really well put together routine made even sweeter by the irony of the biggest misdirection being that you say you're using misdirection, when so much of it is actually other techniques. Very entertaining!
I SWEAR THESE VIDEOS WILL MAKE ME GO MAD! INSANITY! :'D
+Ben Walker I KNOW RIGHT! I AM ALREADY CONSIDERING SHOOTING MYSELF IN THE LEG O.O
Sam Stevenson and will probably turn into pure gold in the process
That was very well done. never explain it.
Very good ACR! Well performed.
I hate this video I always come back and get more angry because it’s so good 😂
hahaahh thanks!
ok I think i got it. at 2:40 where he shows that he has the "6♥" it is just a card then he turns and grabs the actual 6♥ from the deck and hides the "6♥" so it seams like he just picked up, and by then he only has one other card I don't know where the deck went.
Lol just watch this on 0.5 speed its the funniest thing.
Any tips for someone who's new to magic. I struggle with anxiety and struggle to perform how can I overcome the nerves ?
+steveRN21 Learn a great trick. Practice it SO much that you could do it in your sleep. Practice it so much that you know it as well as you know your own name. Perform it to your parents, siblings, close friends, then friends you don't know as well, then strangers.
If it's a good trick and you KNOW it really well then you don't have anything to worry about when performing to people because you're going to do a great job and they'll love it!
+steveRN21 Guy first tell yourself that it is normal! Practice a lot until you are sure to have mastered your mooves the best as you can. Then there is no other way than going outside and practice magic on people. You will fail, you will struggle, but at the time that you will sucess your brain will tell you: ok, i have done it, i can make it again. And the next time it will be more and more easier! Confidence comes from sucess, and sucess comes from failing. So practice simple tricks at the begining in your show, and then with the time you will add more advanced stuff. You know i m practicing magic every day but whenever i learn a new moove or a new trick, my hands are always freecking the first time that i do it to people. And even if i can do really complex tricks. Because this is normal, it's like when you kiss a girl for the first time i would say^^ good luck guy! I Hope that it would help you and sorry for my french english^^
+steveRN21 The best way to get over performance anxiety is to perform. Yes, get your routine down but also take other opportunities to be in front of an audience: public speaking classes, open mic nights, comedy workshops, etc are all low stakes opportunities to get those first couple anxiety ridden experiences out of the way. Doesn't have to be magic... as long as you have an audience. Maybe get in slowly by finding ways to be on stage without being the center of attention: join a band or choir. Assisting a juggler or other magician. Acting as stagehand or bit part for a community theater production.
In addition to relieving your nerves, getting experience with other forms of entertainment will help you create a better overall performance beyond just "here's some tricks." Creating a story and having a reason why you are doing these weird things draws the audience in much deeper... and provides automatic misdirection as a bonus.
Also learn the trick and routine, rehearsing them until you are confident you can pull the whole thing smoothly and naturally while a whole room is looking at you. But in the meantime practicing being on stage shows you the biggest trick: that it's not that big of a deal. And sometimes your production is not perfect. And that's okay... as long as you keep it entertaining.
performing is the only way
When you're a magician and you can what he's doing.......
+Thomas Whitaker I am still thoroughly impressed on how cleanly he can do it.
Tom is the perfect magician's guest. You KNOW he's for real and his reactions are genuine.
Great video! Watching you slowly ruin Tom Scott's sanity was excellent. 10/10
+Matt Austin hahah that was the goal!
Alright Steven, you've had your fun! Now put the laws of physics down and stop mucking around.
Najey Rifai There's a time and place for mucking around.
How is Tom Scott everywhere in the world at once?
TARDIS?
Oh this is nothing, dude. Just you wait till 2020. ♥️🍍
@@odyseya You've fully convinced me that Tom is actually The Doctor
But did you notice Tom change his shirt?
hahahaa
best comment
?
@@ToMeK3001pro this might be referring to a Ted Talk regarding misdirection. I suggest you look it up if you enjoyed this video (which I did, by the way.)
@@Franco0510 I watched this because of the TED talk one😂😂😂
No, but I saw the gorilla walk across the shot lol
The sleight of hand here is absolutely insane. I see him do the first bit and go "Oh. Any amateur can do that trick". Then Tom signed the card and everything after was impossible to distinguish. I can see some moves here and there, but they don't correlate to what's happening.. I'm sure I could go through the video frame by frame and figure it out but why bother? This is so damn near perfect. I have not seen anyone as good in a long while.
Thank you!
StevenBridges i didn't get this at first and after thousands of tries to figure it out I think I've finally got it and very well done cos it's DONE really well!😀
I think you just thought like that on the first part because he was covering Tom's angles but not the camera ones. I saw through most of the techniques he used but he does it brilliantly both in technique as in performance...
+themaun Sure, but it's also child's play. I'm not a magician by any stretch, but even I know how to do those bits fairly easily. So when I see a supposedly good magician/sleight of hander use techniques even I know, it doesn't exactly impress me. But like I said, everything after the signature was absolutely massively impressive. I don't know how he did it, and I don't want to know. I'm satisfied with it just blowing my mind
+themaun I'm not sure what point you're trying to present here..
The youtube speed option is the death of magic.
+Tim Warburton-Roberts ikr fml.
+StevenBridges Even at a quarter speed though it took over 20 replays to figure it out, amazing display.
+Tim Warburton-Roberts can you tell us what you figured out?
+StevenBridges That is if you don't find that it's rather funny that playing it at half speed makes everyone sound drunk.
+samramdebest I only found the one where he puts it in his pocket the first time, but that one was obvious, however you can only see the card at 0.25 speed. Couldn't find the rest tho...
I have zero interest in understanding how magic is done, I just love being deceived by someone who knows what they're doing. Good stuff.
+Vincent Costa Thank you! I think that's the best attitude to have when watching magic. :)
The thing is, even when we know what he's doing and we can reverse the video over and over, it's still really hard to see it because it's that good! That's what's incredible to watch.
As an aspiring magician who pretty much knows how these tricks are done I think it's cooler than being in the dark and wondering how he does it because of the incredible amount of skill that some of this stuff takes. Being able to move and speak so quickly while still executing these sleights perfectly is just art.
Most of the tricks looks like is based on he actually having the card in his hand when he put his hand in the pocket, or having the card in his hand before he touched the box, and shaking in a way that you dont see where it really comes from.
I sort of see how he do it, but it must have taken hell of a lot time to learn to do it that good without being too slow or screwing something up.
And its also true with the back pocket thingy, just that the card you see when he turns his ass to the camera, isnt the right one.
Sorry if I spoiled more than +StevenBridges want to
Absolutely staggering performance Steven, such a great routine with so many awesome stages to it, nicely done!
+NewGreenShoe Cheers mate!
Watch this next :D ua-cam.com/video/H1_o0ojoU-M/v-deo.html
Perfect - now I know what to watch ;)
Thank you for saving me from being bored :)
Oh and by the way: you freaked me out with this one! Let's be honest: how the heck did you do this one? Hahaha it was just great!
+Danton Thanks!
Oh wow this is amazing
+StevenBridges Maaaaaan, it took me 3 views in SLOMOTION to see how you're messing with him. You're quite skillful in what you do.
And yes, thats a subscription for you ;)
Big thumbs up!
+StevenBridges Yeah, Tom is amazing... But coming to this video as a fan of Tom's work, it's quite frustrating not getting an explanation on the colour change bit
I will personally fight the dislike person.
+Amy Shadows
You'll need some help going head to head with 9 people, consider me an ally.
10 now. I might as well join in.
I'll bring popcorn
AdenineMonkey
Bring a few baseball bats too, 4v16 means we could use a little edge. :D
+Amy Shadows
A recruitment drive is needed.
There are apparently 24 of them and 16 of us right now (i.e. upload dislikes versus your comment likes.)
You two are really fun on camera together. This was nuts. You're too good.
+The RH Experience Thanks :D
StevenBridges Steven bridges double you tee efff. Where the fuck have you been you haven't uploaded in months bro. Smfh shaking my FUCKING head ughhhhhhhhhhh all the way from Long Island New York
I tried to make the video go slower and watch very carefully;.. still have no idea what happened...
poor tom looked so confused throughout the video lol
Just realised that the first one was an even better demonstration of misdirection than I thought-
I'm running out of shocked words to comment on your videos. I'm amazed!
+Gary C Thanks Gary!
That ending just ruined my life. Love it man!!
+Tufayl Myburgh haha thank you!
Steven! I watched this video with a massive smile on my face! Amazing skills and very entertaining video :)
Replaying this over and over to try and figure out how he does it haha
Watch this at 0.5 speed. It's highly amusing, but equally confusing
Ahh you guys make a cool team you should collab more :)
Watch at 1/4 speed. ;)
Very well done, I will say that.
It is always weird to watch a video for the "first" time, only to find that I've commented on the video a year ago...😳
Mark Speir LOL i love this
Damn, you're good. So fast, so smooth, so far ahead. You just forgot to cover one move for the camera, but I saw nothing else without rewinding (and still don't know how you did many of the steps). I just wish you would teach your techniques.
Do you mean how he put the whole deck into his back pocket while taking out the one with Tom's name? Yeah, but I have no idea how it got to the other one :D
ou, now thinking about it, it was the red deck :D
If you replay it's pretty easy to see how he did the one with the front pocket, the one inside the box and the one with the whole deck. In rest it's beyond my understanding.
the brilliant bit is Tom has spent so lmuch time in his corner of YT (great corner BTW 10/10) the first thing he thinks is "You know they'll be freezeframing and comparing signatures".
i have this theory, that less intelligent people love magic, cause they can only watch and be happy. more intelligent people (like tom here) have more trouble with not knowing how it happened, so you can feel it bothering them. even though he’s still amazed.
any thoughts on that?
@Luth Lexor great point, i really do 😅
This to date is one of the best routines I've seen you do, sometimes I come back to it every now and again just for the sheer awesomeness of it.
+NewGreenShoe Ah thanks man! It's funny that it was born from a pretty intense brainstorm/practicing session with Ollie. Sometimes it's great to be locked in a room working on magic with another performer and no distractions. :)
"Get oooouuuut" hah
We love you Tom
I saw through only a few of them, but there are still points that I couldn't get. But honestly, the feeling you get when you figure out even a little part of the trick is amazing.
This might be my new favourite trick of yours, Steven! I LOVE the fast pace of it. It messes with my brain and it's wonderful.
+Joel Blundell Thanks so much Joel! Was really fun coming up with this.
Nice camera trick with the deck! ;)
I'm am, of course, referring to the one at 0:08
+888SpinR hahha woah it vanished!
I kept on looking at the cards but I never saw any of them go into your pocket. it's crazy!!!☆
I could see through a couple of them but it took me a lot of tries to figure all of them out. Well done mate! Cheers.
+Jaihindh Reddy Same. I got excited when I saw them, too.
Ekanshdeep Gupta The first trick is that, Tom touched a card and it turns out to be the 6 of Hearts, but that wasn't the card he touched, you can see Steven taking a different card. There is another 6 of hearts under the box. I dunno how the signed card went inside the box though. Then he shows the card went into Steven's back pocket. That is another card, when he removes that card you can see the 6 of hearts in his hand... Similar observation reveals a couple more.
+Jaihindh Reddy That really is impressive. I thought he might have utilised the illusion of choice. Couldn't figure out how. So thanks! The finesse with which is executes them is so fun to watch though. What do you reckon about the card's colour being changed at the end? Maybe pasted a card o another or something?
Ekanshdeep Gupta Ive got no idea how that one's done! Im assuming Tom signed on the red card in the first place. Looked through the video multiple times but still had no luck figuring that one out. really well done by Steven.
***** Thats awesome! Thanks for enlightening us.
I watched this video a couple of times last year and excitedly shared it with friends. Fast-forward to this year. Now I am more savvy about card handling. After a few recent viewings I could figure out how each effect could be done. Now I wish I could go back in time and un-learn magic techniques: this was so well performed that I want that wonderful sense of jaw-dropping amazement and mystery back.
This guy is not even allowed to enter the State of Nevada let alone Las Vegas.
I love working out how tricks are done just by rewatching and trying to follow sleight of hand etc and this was impressive! I'm proud of myself that I caught all the palms, only one I can't see how it's done is the first one with the (unsigned) card under the box unless it was a duplicate and force. Really good video!
Yeah. Pretty sure a dup for that one
Tom is awesome! Magic is cool too!
I have no clue how he did most of these, so I'm gonna reply to my comment with what I THINK he did at each trick, so if you don't want it spoiled you don't have it spoiled. I am on mobile so I can't change the time speed.
The last one fooled me. I have NO clue.
Guys I figured it out he’s just using za Warudo to stop time
This was amazing.... it looks like he has tiny portals hidden in his wrists XD
HOW. HOW.
watch in slow mo. spoils most tricks. also pretending 2 cards to be 1
saw most in real time, first run, but missed 2 :( including the color change of toms card, i have no clue how he did that btw
@@Silentsouls Look at the top of the pile @ 3:12, its an 8 of hearts. @ 3:25 it becomes a 5 of diamonds. That should be a big enough clue for ya
1:55 didn't you just put it in your pocket and take it out again?
Nice work Steven , this is my card opener when I approach tables , love it , great performance . A bit of Mr Brown in there ? :)
I love this kind of card trick. Time tested, no crazy hard moves, just a perfectly executed, non pretentious routine that’s upbeat and fun. A master class in the classics.
The only time I like shouting at my screen "nooooo waaaay" is while watching magic videos XD I never wanna know how you do it XD
Magic companies should use Tom’s reactions in their trailers
OK so I watched it through twice and I have all the moves BUT I can't figure out if the signed 6 of hearts is a red back (in which case the drop from the card case has some risk) or it's a blue back (in which case there's some serious skill handling a double at the end). My gut says it's a red back, but the fact I'm going to have to watch this x number of more times is proof of Steven's skill. Well done sir. Have an FU trophy!
ONE OF THE BEST CARD ROUTINES IVE EVER SAW "MIND THE CAPS LOCK" it's because i was screaming 😂❤️ loved it !
+Khaled Alarabi Thank you very much!
Not only is the magic fantastic, but I love the routining and originality you put on all your performances.
As a magician I knew how most of this works, but it's still so entertaining to watch! Nice one :D
+Tom King Really glad you enjoyed it!
Steven, you're still killing it, you are honestly the best.
Haven't talked to you for a while! How've you been! I just noticed you hit 75K! AMAZING! Been with you since at least 500 lol.
+CoinHuntingDrew Thanks so much man nice to see you in the comments! Yeah I totally remember you from the early days and I really appreciate you supporting my little channel as it's grown! :D
Thinking earlier, hey I'm gonna check out Steven Bridges new videos, I see he hasn't posted in 3 weeks, so I watch some of his old ones again, refresh the page and there's a new vid!
+Devhine Gaming MAGIC
Sorry that was a terrible joke. I'll show myself out.
I've been trying to figure this out and I believe I got most of it but wtf Steven, how the hell did you change the card's color... I gotta say my brain melt and I'm blaming you for it xD nice video :DD
You and your tricks are unbelievably good, or, was it a trick or true magic? I am willing to actually believe in magic now.
+Every Thing Thank you!
Man i love to see u!! In some case i can follow your hands but, you re so fater!! You're awesome!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Well done! I have been a (mostly) amateur card magician for over 50 years. I would love to know if the signed card with red back is examinable at the very end. Knowing that would make stealing ideas a lot easier. :-) If someone in the know is willing to tell me, please send me a PM.
hahah well I'd rather you not steal my ideas :P But yeah it's examinable.
Is the signed card examinable at the moment it is signed?
JiveDadson he was putting it under the box with a blue card stick with a double tape and when he revealed it at the end he just separate it . but he do it so smooth and quick and clean.
there are 2 instances where I kind of understand what you are doing but goddamn HOW ARE YOU SO QUICK
The thing about magic is that when a magician says "This next trick is all about..." it usually has nothing to do with that.
I'm not at all passionate about citrus fruit, but if I come across a channel I don't know much about, of course I'll read the About page. Who wouldn't?
Tom is me at every single one of Stevens tricks
Like OHMYGOD me at sitc or what
I'm in shOCK
LIKE
WYFLSFBNKNLMFSV SCREAMING
+Embly hahaha cheers Embly!
how did you get it under the card box? you hands never went near it!
cris rose i have no idea i was going to ask the same
cris rose It wasn't signed at that point.
All he did was just Card Controlling and Card Palming!
A card magician must have caught how he did that!
Ummm... this is rubbish/ its easy to spot what he’s doing every time. Tom didn’t pick the card btw way... this guy did.
At first completely fooled me but i STUCK to trying to figure it out and im petty sure i got it
I saw the pocket trick👀
Absolutely incredible video :O I honestly don't understand how you did that, and now I'm contemplating reality. Thank you for the great video! :D
Ok, after watching several times, I got everything but the color change... loved every minute of it ^^
This is just... What. I watched this twice and I swear you never went near the card box
very good performance.
TOM SCOTT YAYAYAYAY
that was incredible!!!!! I love how fast paced it was and that you explained stuff that was AWESOME
Damn, that was A LOT of tricks into one single act. Great job man... Solid moves and great routine!
Thumbs up if you were actually able to follow this, or at least realise what he did after each part
Perfect timing actually, thanks man! And I subscribed to Tom, too!
Haha! Loved this! So great to see you back in action! :D That was a dizzying experience!! =)
I know exactly how you did all of it. Tom's brilliant reactions are why I won't explain it 😅
Oy, bloody lovely marriage of Color Changing Deck with 51 Cards to Pocket. Not sure why I changed my written accent...Anyway, great sequencing.
Tom Scott is the best!!
Ok Steven bridges I will coz u r my favourite youtuber
Saw you on Tom's channel... That trick was awesome! I saw some of it, but that doesn't take away from your presentation! Spot on 😀
Watching this at 1 am and exhausted, brain processes things slower so I will update you on my reaction.
I can understand how he did a few things, but he is rlly good!
ok, sorry if I'm just slow, but I don't understand ANY of this...
Would somebody mind just telling me how me did, I don't know, the first trick (when he placed the card under the box)?
Half the time Tom looks ready to walk out the door and leave. ;D
Impressive. As a amateur magician I know how most of the tricks work. These were so well done, even knowing the tricks, I didn't see any of it happening. I can normally bust people on exactly when and what happened. I'd no chance here. Very very well done.
16 people can't have fun. Its okay though. I'm sure you can make the dislike button disappear. :)
Awful..more behavior to make laypeople believe "the hand is quicker than the eye." Slow down! Including the speech rate. Lay off the caffeine.
Is it hot in here? Oh, yeah, it is! It's 90 degrees because I'm crYING IN THE CORNER BECAUSE YOU BROKE MY FUCKING MIND!
Witchcraft. Burn him.
No but seriously... bloody witchcraft. Love it. :D
Part of the fun of 'magic' is trying to figure out how it was done.
Most of us are smart enough to realize thee is no 'magic'; no time travel and no moon landing but we still enjoy getting fooled :-)

and yeah, I was kidding on the moon landing :-)
The signature was always done on the red card and not the blue one, if you freeze frames and watch closely, you can pretty well make out the whole sequence and his pure sleight of hands combined with misdirection. Amazing......
okay, I figured most of them out, I don't know how you did the first or the last one tho.
Could you have let me examine the table, specifically the card box, before performing?
