Very cool, loved it! :) I could watch videos like this for hours. I also like that they included the one mess up and didn't remove that bit. So we get to see a more real view of the whole thing.
David Blaine is a genuine legend, one of the best magicians of all time. His feats of endurance like standing in the block of ice for 3 days put him in a whole different category to almost every other magician. Never get tired of watching him.
@@Boomvang612 except they’re literally not, he worked with scientists on his world record breath hold and then did a TED talk about it to more scientists. Do you think that was all a trick?
@@MZ99698 You're right. They won't just let ANYONE do a TED talk, right!? TED talks are great, but you don't have to prove a bunch of credentials to do one. And talking to people doesn't have to be a trick, that's just something he did after the trick. He is LITERALLY called an illusionist. And he also happens to do stuff that you would almost think has to be an illusion to pull it off. You really think is a coincidence? If it quacks like a duck...
I took this course and it was of excellent value. David Blaine taught it well, along with his fellow Magicians. Being a Magician myself for 35 years, I still learned a lot. Great job David Blaine and The Studio.
He asked us to stop filming at certain points to share some secrets; there was clearly some sleight of hand done between shots, but none of us were in on it! :) He's a master of misdirection.
@@texa Sure. But there are still other unexplained factors in it. For example, why did Marques happen to stop dealing cards at the 8th card, which happened to be an 8 of clubs in the first place?
Probably because you guys are a tech channel and not one dedicated to magic tricks, you didn’t account for the fact that so many jump cuts means us watching at home can feel entertained by your reactions, but not wow’ed by the tricks themselves.
Yeah! 1:13 was a jump cut and after that the card is under David’s watch all the time so not exactly a trick. I literally saw that the first time… not very impressive. Camera tricks
Ok, I think I figured out how Marques did the flipping all the cards up except for one trick. When he was shuffling the deck himself 13:43, pay attention to the way he's putting the cards on top of one another. It looks like the cards are going in multiple different directions, but really there're only two directions, one facing up, one facing down centered around two cards facing back to back. Then when he showed that there were even cards facing back to back 14:06, he flipped the deck facing down and put it on top of the one already facing up, except that the first card in the facing up pile is facing down. Then all cards are facing one direction except for that middle one. But I still don't know how he got that card to be the exact one Tim was thinking about tho.
Yup you're right! Plus you can bend the deck a bit before doing the sloppy shuffle so it's easier to find the cards that are facing back to back. Search "sloppy shuffle", you'll find a ton of tutorials.
It was a forced card when he was flipping through the deck. Anytime someone has you choose while flipping through a deck like that they are forcing a specific card that will be shown for longer than the others. When he does the flip on the second guy you can see that the card he chooses (3 of clubs or something) catches your eye.
3:00 i think the trick starts there with a deck that is stacked in some manner, as i think theres a reason it goes 6-8-10 im betting if you saw the other side the cards have an ordering of 5-7-9 and they deck originally is stacked in some manner ( but not by suit as suit would be too easy to notice the ordering of) so when he splits the deck and riffles. it's not really mixing anything just spliting odd and even.
I think the card under the watch wasn't the Black Jack, but he found the card in the deck afterwards and switched it at 1:50 before it was revealed, as you see him slide the card it under the deck of cards first. Now, how he got the card in the watch I can't figure out lol.
6:50 I literally see the cards duplicating in the slightest amount. Either this is real time sorcery, or this is really clever highly advanced editing magic
Cards sometimes trap air. The cards were slightly bent. So when he set them down. The cards started to return to their original shape, but not immediately, due to the trapped air. Similar to a suction cup.
@@sutton4791 Nope. We're forgetting magic isn't really magic - it's an act. An "illusion". If it was real, how come the cards just magically seem to be stacking up from each other, and not just inflating back to their already thin stage, as you're suggesting
@@arrow9193 as someone who grew up doing magic, ive handled a deck of cards thousands of times and I can promise you that they are just returning to their normal form. This is just how cards behave, especially when they are new. If you watch forward a few seconds to when they spread the cards you can see that the cards are slightly bent.
@@arrow9193 Aaron is correct. It’s also another trick Blaine does where the cards vanish from a whole deck to half a deck in his hands Air between cards can convince ppl crazy stuff
*Self-taught* smart people who are good at what they do can be excellent teachers. David Blaine in his field is a legend. Two key elements 1) *self-taught* so they have looked at the problem from many possible angels and and tried to solve it on their own (there was no one around to ask) 2) smart ... this on is obvious one in this case
too bad you cut away between 1:12 and 1:18...it is between that cut that you are not showing DB reaching for his are to do the planting of the card. Editing is so key with magic and making it "believable".
I always enjoyed his performance, when he had his first tv special "street Magic". My grandfather taught myself most of his tricks. might been one or two I didn't know, not my point I knew them. More of how he delivered them. That was more magical to me. My performance sucks! lol Marked deck near end priceless, would love to see that deck
Yeah that's what makes David so great. Most of his tricks use basic sleight of hand but he presents it so well and he's so good at misdirection that you don't even see it happening
If you stop the video at 2:22 on the dot you can see that his hand is already marked with the ♾️ sign...I'm starting to figure out all they lil phoney tricks
Yall gotta chill with the "SEE THIS IS WHERE THE TRICK IS" or "LOOK AT THAT CUT".. guys, let me give you some news, magic isn't real. This is obviously just a skilled person doing a lot of sleight of hand, misdirection, etc. He's an entertainer. Enjoy the show.
Amazing to see how early David has already placed the surprising finishes (1:26, card at the watch; 2:22, 8 in the hand) at his audience. The force is clearly with him…
He does it when he hands them the deck of cards, theres other videos of him doing the same trick, he will hand them the deck, tell them to squeeze it and while misdirecting them with squeezing his own hand on theirs he plants it without them being able to feel it.
Blaine impressed me with his skill in this vid. Clearly he used "marked decks" (meaning you can tell what the card is on both sides)... but to be able to see something that's purposely so small it's hidden in plain view from about 8-10 feet away was very impressive to me. That takes a ton of skill
@@Imac7065 can you point out to me the part which is marked on the back then? I'm familiar with marked cards and I spent a good amount of time studying that paused frame of Marques showing the back, I saw nothing apart from the normal pattern that repeats if you're so familiar with marked cards that your response is "trust me" then you should be able to point out what's marked at 16:02 when the card comes into focus
@@_WeDontKnow_ i can't.. that's the point.. there's no physically possible other way he did that so the deck is clearly marked.... the fact that we cant tell is the skill i was referring to

1:43 I hate to reveal how a magician does his tricks but I have to tell you just how incredible David Blaine really is here. The guy said Jack of clubs which was the WRONG card David wanted him to choose. You see how calmly David takes the cards from him to find the black jack, quickly folds it using one hand, rips the "right" card from the watch and quickly swaps it for the black jack that he just folded. Just extraordinary slight of hand and showmanship from David!
I think last one is pretty straightforward, if you follow the instructions, the chosen card is always the first upside facing card so you’ll know instantly when they’re reading them out loud.
And I'm here reading comments of people who sees and knows everything saying they were not entertained but they finished the entire video without skipping ads.
2:21 look at the left hand of this guy who have cards, you can clearly see a black dot, and then when he made a mistake David said " put your hands like that " cuz he will ruin the trick... And you can clearly see how is he smileing before the trick even started...
Hands down one of the coolest colabs yet! It’s so awesome when worlds collide.

@@gloriajackson2021 I guess since you put up a facepalm, that proves it. I will rethink everything. See my comment to M Z.
I don't care how he does these things, it's the fact that he does it so well that it feels like actual magic.
I took this course and it was of excellent value. David Blaine taught it well, along with his fellow Magicians. Being a Magician myself for 35 years, I still learned a lot. Great job David Blaine and The Studio.
Can you reach us or comment how to do the trick ?
I was smiling throughout the entire video, this was great🙌🏾
Same!! Magic tricks are always so fascinating
if you slow down the video, you notice after the cut the card is under the watch. we need a uncut clip of the first trick
yea too many cuts. simple to place. oh well.
I think they cut it for that reason
He asked us to stop filming at certain points to share some secrets; there was clearly some sleight of hand done between shots, but none of us were in on it! :) He's a master of misdirection.
also the next one the 8 was written before the trick even started
@@Kademo That one had us stumped, David (Imel) never shook his hand or anything before the trick started!
This is amazing, thank you for inviting Blaine, he is one of the best of all times
fact
He's the full-on goat in my book.
People are in on it, it's a show
@@michaellange7819 they are actually pretty basic tricks… no one is in on it
At 06:50 the cards become bigger. What the hack is that?
Air trapped between the cards
I understand about 5% of Blaine's tricks and I feel like a freaking genius for understanding that much.
1:14 The card was already on David's watch since the beginning
2:21 The Infinity symbol already on David's palm before the trick
@@texa Right!
1:49 you can see the "real" foldet card underneath the deck that he switches a sec later
that 1:14 is still blowing my mind. i guess there was a cut during that time but i have no idea when it happened
at 1:12 there's a cut (in the video)
Lol you could never
@@texa Sure. But there are still other unexplained factors in it. For example, why did Marques happen to stop dealing cards at the 8th card, which happened to be an 8 of clubs in the first place?
aw man why did y'all make a cut at 1:13 ??? Before 1:13 he has no card under his watch and after the cut he has the card there...
He is so far beyond any other magician its not even close. Its just mind blowing.
Probably because you guys are a tech channel and not one dedicated to magic tricks, you didn’t account for the fact that so many jump cuts means us watching at home can feel entertained by your reactions, but not wow’ed by the tricks themselves.
Yeah, if you want to show a magic trick, you really can't use any cuts at all.
Idk man I was able to see the tricks
Yeah! 1:13 was a jump cut and after that the card is under David’s watch all the time so not exactly a trick. I literally saw that the first time… not very impressive. Camera tricks
1:49 the actual card is folded beneath the deck and then switches.

I loved the original video on the main channel and this sort of BTS...The collab between MKBHD and David Blaine is always epic...
2:21 *you can see he already had the mark on his hand before the trick even began*
Yeah WTF! haha
Yeah!!
Dude's not in on the trick. David only wud have done that before
Wait so you're telling me that David put it there himself and it didn't magically travel through the universe 🤯 🤯🤯🤯
I love this collab! Keep doing your thing MKBHD
This channel is the best. It feels like an amazing version on Hulu 😍🔥🔥

13:52 you can see that David is counting the cards to make sure Marquees does the trick right 👀
No need for counting cards right there, I'm pretty sure
@@cloidless He was MAD focused.
there's no counting required in that trick afaik
Yes. I have been waiting for this
Your the first comment
If you're a magician... watching these will make you smile and make you feel proud for marques
I wish there wouldn’t have been those cuts during the plateau of the tricks. Could you guys upload one more uncut version?
David Blaine is my favorite magician. He's the best modern magician in my opinion.
I think the card under the watch wasn't the Black Jack, but he found the card in the deck afterwards and switched it at 1:50 before it was revealed, as you see him slide the card it under the deck of cards first. Now, how he got the card in the watch I can't figure out lol.
Classic
But he showed him the Black Jack, and then switched the cards. Why?
@@lukas.mossbo he didn't show him though, the card was folded, then it goes under the deck, then he opens up a card and it's the black jack
Exact.
Look closely, He showed him a little corner. ☝🏼
Where can I buy the hoodie Marques is wearing? It's rly a fire hoodie!!
Under his merch.
@@brokeguy5607 It's not on his website
It's from Mooncolour
@@RandomStuffYT1 Ok. It used to be there.
2:21 is when you already see the 8 or infinity symbol drawn on David I's hand. When did Blaine get a chance to draw that?
The Drunken Shuffle!! I learned that off Jaw Droppers when I was a kid, one of my favorites!
I really want to learn the first one Blaine taught Marques. The flipping where Marques was talking about the number of combos of shuffles
Please let me know if you find a tutorial or sth :D
I saw that he was looking for something, and when he found that 2 cards where back to back, he flip them… I think there is the trick…
Look up slop card trick by mismag882 it’s pretty much that trick
David's teaching magic right. That's why the Collab for his course lol. Check out the main channel

David is a Gen X. Proud he's representing it so well :)
1:34 Can someone explain how this works? I rewinded and noticed David had the card in his watch beforehand, so was he in on it?

But where is the 4 minute breath hold??
Love this channel 💯
Loved this so much!
Best. Editing. Job. Keep up the great work guys you really set the bar for quality!
We need an unedited version on the tricks. It makes the trick less impressive
16'30 each back of card is different. He can read what card it is. I saw that somewhere.
6:51 the cards moved itself or is it the editing.

I don't understand how he placed the card right after he says the black jack onto his watch without even touching him?
At 1:13 actually you can already see under the watch. And unfortunately there is cuts in the video before that so we don't get to see when he does it.

1:41 it's a photomontage, there's already a card under the twatch
21:23 sounds like Jennifer Aniston’s “wow”

Why the jump cut between the card not being under the watch and when it is.
Ok the card guessing one after the shuffle blew my mind. what in the hell
Thad guy had infinity mark on his hand already in 2:21 :)

Never expected to see Julie here in the studio...😃
Me too

so how does he do that first trick where the 8 is on the guy's hand?
