Asi Wind is a legend in my eyes. The dude is responsible for some absolutely incredible, very out-of-the-box effects. Double Exposure will always be one of the most amazing card tricks I’ve ever seen - absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw it in person.
Double exposure is such an amazing effect. The fact that it can be done absolutely impromptu with a borrowed deck, isn’t that difficult to do, and leaves the spectator with an amazing souvenir on their phone… it’s just incredible.
Yeah, it’s absolutely insane. The picture that the spectator gets to keep is frequently something they’ll talk about years later. It’s just so powerful.
It can be done with any deck and it doesn’t even need to be in good condition. If someone asks to see a trick and you only have time for one, I don’t really know how you beat double exposure.
I really liked this. It was more of a conversation than a formal interview. This guy was a real fan, got three tricks out of him. And I like what Asi said about being able to tell art is sincere. I liked how he had paintings in his book. The Tamariz touch here was nice, and that Dan Harlan touch got beefed up which I wasn't looking too. I'm not as good at code as Penn and Teller. If I was going to do any of these tricks though, to really make a reputation, I'd pick the map one. That looked like real mentalism, like how I imagine seeing Annemann live would have been.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure how he pulled that one off. I always loved Max Maven's map tricks though. This one looked like it was going wrong but ended up a lot stronger than if he'd just gotten it right away. Something about fire and incense makes it stronger.
Josh is a well known comedian. He's been at the daily show for a while now but he's become well known in the recent years for doing a different and new 1 hour set every week. However he's not a good interviewer imo
It's my first time seeing him, but maybe he's sort of shy or laid-back compared to Jon Stewart. I could tell he was a true fan and loving this. So I enjoyed it just for that reason. Plus I haven't noticed Asi Wind with a TV spot in a while. He's brilliant, and like the Josh guy said, he seems too normal a guy to be a magician almost. I felt the same about Paul Harris.

Wait, Double exposure is impromptu with a borrowed deck? I did not know this.....
Yeah, it’s absolutely insane. The picture that the spectator gets to keep is frequently something they’ll talk about years later. It’s just so powerful.

It does need to be in reasonable condition.
Yeah, absolutely. You need to be able reasonably fan and I also prefer as perfect a faro as possible.
Reasonable yes… I didn’t mean a totally destroyed deck. But the typical deck people have in a drawer in their house somewhere will work fine
I agree with this. with USPCC stuff, even the dirtiest poop decks generally age beautifully (handling-wise) when left in a drawer for a while.
Combined with Kostya Kimlat’s triumph as the ending, I’m convinced it’s the most powerful impromptu card effect ever devised.
That is why I bought his book, for that trick alone. The psychology is brilliant, and the sleight of hand is not for sissies...
Depending on the quality of the deck...
Again… obviously there are limits but the average deck works just fine
His ACAAN is miracle-level stuff too, so simple and yet totally brilliant.

i loved this. already an asi wind fan, and i loved the interviewer also. good stuff
That trick with the map is just amazing. Legitimately some next level shit

I thought Josh wasn't very good at interviewing. I like his stand up but this was very hard to watch
This is generally how I feel about Josh. He’s absolutely awesome in the segments and in his own standup, but hosting isn’t his strong suit.
Who is this guy? He looks like an intern. Never come across him.
