Wow I didn't know he was a shapeshifter too! 🤭 I remember watching him on TV with my parents as a kid, now I've introduced his insane feats to my children and they're amazed as well.
Jonathan Guzman facts. He‘s one of the most insane humans to just watch. Also he‘s more than just dedicated. If you think about his own words, that he still never leaves his room without a deck of cards. So that’s juat „normal“ for him. He would annoy you all day all the time to help him improve his tricks. He‘s a basically the perfect modern magician🤷🏼♂️
Very chill but extremely charismatic during his shows. He brings a lot of humor to this stage show. It really is incredible if you get a chance to see him live.
To be a really good close-up magician you have to be an actor, good with sleight-of hand, good with audience management, good with misdirection, use psychology, good with pocket management, good with trick selection, good with your patter, good with your rapport with people. The better you do these things the better magician you are. David is excellent at all these, that's what makes him one of the best close-up magicians out there.
I'm no magician but I have eyes and a laptop that can go through videos frame by frame. Even though he did weird things with the cards like turning them over a few times, I still can't catch any sleight of hand to switch the cards
That's ok, Ryan Sundoto, that's what free thinkers do, we do the thinking for those that are too lazy to do their own. Keep looking beyond the facade. You're looking in all the obvious places. Look at when he gives the card with the name written on it, he first puts it in the pile of cards, then flips the cards, and gives him a different card (the one with the writing on it is still on his deck), and he asks to put a finger on it so that he doesn't feel the urge to flip the card (because it's the wrong card), and then he bamboozles him/us by saying that "the ink won't get on your hand". He's putting cards on tops of cards, but lines them up so precisely, while he's distracting you with non-sense talking. Just watch the flipping of cards, pretty easy tricks if you are a smooth talker as he is.
I'm sure people can figure out how he does many of his tricks, but to pull them off without a hitch every time is as amazing as the magic itself. Then you have his endurance stuff, his frog and fish stunts, dragon fire etc....some of which really would kill just about any other human on this planet if attempted. The only other person I think of in this league is Alex Honnold...but Alex is really easy to figure out that there is no trick--he's just the most amazing athlete in the world.
Alex is the bravest athlete in the world. There are plenty of climbers who could physically do what Alex does, but they don’t because they aren’t as brave or reckless. The best climber in the world is Adam Ondra. The highest graded route that Alex has ever done (9a), with a rope of course, is less difficult that the hardest route Adam has climbed on his first attempt (9a+). He sure is pretty amazing, but there are also other amazing guys out there. Eliud Kipchoge has run a sub 2-hour marathon. That’s pretty amazing.
The image of a child carrying around a deck of cards all the time and even sleeping with it, that is so... so adorable. Also “you made magic cool” um excuse me?? Magic was always cool! It’s the coolest thing! What are you talking about?
the thing with DB that make him standout then the rest magician, is the way he never stop practice to put the presentation so neat, so attractive even to the strangest person he just met, that way he can get the best reaction of them, that way no one can tell when he failed coz he'd continue smoothly until he somehow did finish the trick, amazing ...
@@hoxhabunker8407 I re-watched that piece 8:02 and confused. I thought he asked her what numbers she will pick up, but looks like she just took a picture? Not sure now what exactly happened.
SPOILER: The slight of hand at 5 mins or so is super classic, called the double lift, Trick starts when he puts the RANCE card on the deck, the deck is upside down in his hand, totally unnatural, but it's because there's a face up eight of clubs. "No the other hand"; it's a distraction, he wedges his finger under the deck, to perform the "double lift". When he lifts the RANCE card he actually flips two cards, that and the 8 of clubs, so the card he puts in Rance's hand is the 8 of clubs. He tells him to put his finger on it to confirm, this is the RANCE card he can't move it now, I've got my finger on it! Then there's a second eight of clubs 1 card below the RANCE card, (which still remains at the top of the deck) which he double lifts again to show it's in the deck, but that's a double. When he finally exposes the RANCE card he dosn't double lift. you see he quickly burried the duplicate 8 of clubs right after the guy was done touching it, and asks the other guy to shuffle --- to make sure he dosn't get caught.
I re-watched the last few seconds of this video about 10 times, I was very impressed how David is just casually standing there flicking cards back and forth with the kind of accuracy that's like a one in a million shot for me 😂
Why do some people feel the need to explain or break down the illusion. Just go along for the ride and enjoy the entertanment. We all know it's not real, but it is fun to see.
Its not sleight of hand. When he flipped the dudes queen over it was actually two cards and the deck has 2 8s so when he put the card in the dudes hand it was the second 8 and he always had the signed card
They gave away that she was asked to choose a 4 digit number before, so basically he knew the number and pushed them the cards. Pretty obvious, you see David cringe when they said that.
As a practitioner since the 90s I dont think that was a huge give away to common spectator since theyre still puzzled on how it turned out even if those cards were forced
6:36 - “…just make sure…” I assume I’m watching him set the trick up, right in front of my eyes, but I still don’t understand what he did. He lifted one card from about the middle and moved it over closer to David’s left side of the deck. But I’m not sure what that was for!
They are already in on it .. see at 4:26 , then at last he mentions how they already knew the numbers before hand . His job was only to make them pick from deck of cards , Which is very impressive..
I miss you so much, my journey has passed, and there is no hope for you to return my smile, but I hope you are fine and your life is beautiful I love you 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have figure out the trick,look when he take the queen of hearts from the guy and when he release it back he place it in the dack he has in his hand and turn it over with the two other cards.....so back in his mind he knows he has the queen of hearts and the guy has the other card,to make sure that the card won't be revieled he told him to put one finger on the card.Then whatch how he quickly turn the card in his hand by turning two cards and take the queen of hearts on top.but he does it very quick
he got 2 8 of clubs and the signed card and when he showed he was actually fliping the first 8 with the signed card at the same time, then he put the first club of 8 in his hand, flip the signed with the second 8 then pretended to swipe them in that fast motion
If you slow it down, you'll see that he switches the red card to the clubs before placing it on the guy's palm. He has two 8 of clubs cards in the deck and placed one the the guys palm and then after the switch, he moved the red card on top of the other 8 of clubs already in the deck. You have to slow it down to catch it. He is really good.

@@colin1487 he actually did slow his heart rate down to like 10 or something crazy at one trick, he mentioned it in the new podcast with Shiny Joe
@@Sporacle he had slowed down to 8bpm underwater
These are, hands down, the nicest news ppl I've ever seen
For real! They look like such a lovable trio.
That darkness under his eyes is years of not sleeping and thinking about his next trick and can he do it faster and better..man's a legend
Mohammed Ali's jab.

Zero calories
@Sample Dude that was good
A master at work always awe inspiring .
He’s so humble
Never thought I would see it...David is the best dressed in the bunch..then again ...he always looks good. Enjoy his magic...
6:01 retired Black Jack dealer?
hahah
😂😂😂
lol
I'm watching it in 0.25 speed and still can't see him swap cards at any point. So skilled!
i also did this lol
It’s called magic bruh
David Blaine is so amazing
His smile the way of presentation is awesome...wow mind bogling
You're awesome dude! Mr. David
“So some back story on that”
David:”we don’t need any back story with this”

Also “you made magic cool” um excuse me?? Magic was always cool! It’s the coolest thing! What are you talking about?
4:15 is when the magic starts
David Blaine ladies and gentlemen, the king

The guy gave his whole trick away at the end!!!
They all still picked random cards. His forcing ability is amazi.g
Yes, that stupid guy just revealed the trick, and now we know how it works
@Blade Runner Yes, you should
He said she took a picture, not that she sent it to him. If she had sent it she wouldn’t be that surprised.
@@hoxhabunker8407 I re-watched that piece 8:02 and confused. I thought he asked her what numbers she will pick up, but looks like she just took a picture? Not sure now what exactly happened.

That's crazy... I did the same. Wonder if he knew we were going to do that 🤔
I'm seeing this 4 years later but it doesnt matter, and it doesnt matter even if doesnt matter.
Why do some people feel the need to explain or break down the illusion. Just go along for the ride and enjoy the entertanment. We all know it's not real, but it is fun to see.
Every time I see David in a video he's always wearing black
Good thing he doesn't have dandruff.

Video starts at 4:19
Kokkie Monster 69 thanks brother
we need more ppl like you
amazing
See it in .25 slowmotion and you still cant c a mistake
i watched it in .25 and see no flip
I watched him switch the card at .25. Yet the card in the black mans finger didn’t move an inch, and David only slapped the card on top of his finger.
Its not sleight of hand. When he flipped the dudes queen over it was actually two cards and the deck has 2 8s so when he put the card in the dudes hand it was the second 8 and he always had the signed card
Aaron Pearson its already been switched
Shivansh Mobile Bhopal no risk at all !!! Would be a shame to see something here!
hahaha that magic spoiler thinking himself adding a compliment
How ?!! The 1138 is insane , David is an alien on earth
What ever he does is scary bruv
Turns card over
Lady: bass boosted "AAAARGGGGHHH"
Sounds like David went off the deep end LOL
"I got good grades in school... then I started doing magic"
They gave away that she was asked to choose a 4 digit number before, so basically he knew the number and pushed them the cards. Pretty obvious, you see David cringe when they said that.
That said, he obviously switched the top 2 cards for the first trick, but i just don't see it, even on slow mo... wow!!
And he told them to grab two cards each
Tim Simonds didn't switch them. It's called the magic of a double
He had two 8 of clubs cards in the deck. Now bye.
As a practitioner since the 90s I dont think that was a huge give away to common spectator since theyre still puzzled on how it turned out even if those cards were forced
His classic force is too good
He didn't know what card to be forced because the lady just told him the number after they picked the cards.
@@ryansundoto5036 Watch again. She picked the numbers before the show. David knew already.
antdgar she picked the numbers before, but didn’t tell him.
If u see all his shows his main cards are the 8 of spades 3 of diamonds queen of hearts I just noticed that.
*god impressing some mortals colorized 2018*
Is your ticket giveaway still there
That woman is looking at him like she's about to risk it all ☺️
I cringed more than David. He composed himself well. But it did take away from the effect. I think the dude on the left cringed more.
What took away? What are you referring to?
no further west the guy at the end saying they were asked to pick numbers already he already knew the number 1138
ya dude he was so cringe
Wow that's some clean double lifts.
Double lift perfection 👌
lol honestly
Nobody cares about your life, show us magic. Love you
His true supporter is his Mom... She react so her son gain self confidence
This dude is a warlock!
6:03 someone teach him how to shuffle haha
Ikr 😂😂
I can understand how you did the first card trick but the second card trick blew my mind
He change the card rite?
Even if you can figure out the trick, it's still magic, because he's so damned fast.
that double lift was clean ;)
G.O.A.T
A good way for him to do a trick is if someone randomly gives him a deck of cards, instead of him using his own.
If you play this at 0,25x speed you'll see an invisible demon coming to help David
David Blaine is a lot better than Penn and teller, Hell yea!!
David Blaine is just too god damn good!
The double lift is the most powerful weapon in Card magic!!!!
6:36 - “…just make sure…” I assume I’m watching him set the trick up, right in front of my eyes, but I still don’t understand what he did. He lifted one card from about the middle and moved it over closer to David’s left side of the deck. But I’m not sure what that was for!
6:39
Guy at the end just revealed how the trick was done lol David must have been pissed
I think he gave away Davids trick with his explanation at the end
Can you pick lottery numbers
"it like he be walkin' up to someone in duh club"
He's not muscular or a fast sprinter, but he is truly an athlete!
6:48 you can see David split the deck with his pinky or ring finger for a placement
They are already in on it .. see at 4:26 , then at last he mentions how they already knew the numbers before hand . His job was only to make them pick from deck of cards , Which is very impressive..
I miss you so much, my journey has passed, and there is no hope for you to return my smile, but I hope you are fine and your life is beautiful I love you 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@ 4:26 what is she hiding?
I know exactly how he did it.
He is a wizard.
0:00 I dont have a time stamp, sorry, keep scrolling...
I have figure out the trick,look when he take the queen of hearts from the guy and when he release it back he place it in the dack he has in his hand and turn it over with the two other cards.....so back in his mind he knows he has the queen of hearts and the guy has the other card,to make sure that the card won't be revieled he told him to put one finger on the card.Then whatch how he quickly turn the card in his hand by turning two cards and take the queen of hearts on top.but he does it very quick
That sorcery, how can you explain that?
David loves to pretend he's messing up ... But he ALWAYS pulls it out...There are NO mistakes.
I think David Blaine's Voice is perfect for EA Sports.
Can any1 ask him to do that.
Card sits at the bottom, never gets given back. Decoy card is given with his original 3 down from the top.
7:35 Get some bacta, trooper!
he got 2 8 of clubs and the signed card and when he showed he was actually fliping the first 8 with the signed card at the same time, then he put the first club of 8 in his hand, flip the signed with the second 8 then pretended to swipe them in that fast motion
The woman thinking a 4 digit number was so random. But the trick was still dope
Check his cards and hands at the end of the video
8:07 the guy gives away part of how Blaine does the trick
lol it's only fair.
If you slow it down, you'll see that he switches the red card to the clubs before placing it on the guy's palm. He has two 8 of clubs cards in the deck and placed one the the guys palm and then after the switch, he moved the red card on top of the other 8 of clubs already in the deck. You have to slow it down to catch it. He is really good.
the first magic trick is just two double lifts, which is hard af to do,
especially with people watching from multiple angles. clean af
5:37 Even putting playback speed to 0.25x you can't see the slight of hand that's wild
There is no slight of hand, he gives the person the wrong card the moment its on their hand, that move did not switch the cards.
lol, pretty sure the chic wet herself multiple times being that close to him and during this taping. XDDDDDD
he definitely banged her on the set while entertaining her with another trick and the other guys were giggling
The guy on the right has the biggest man crush I've ever seen... LOL
Caught that one
6:16 yeah David we saw that.
