There are some schools out there but no formal program. Magic is a variety of skills you need to practice many times over to make look smooth enough to feel like, well, magic. Only so much a school can do for that.
Knew him before he got famous and he was the same then as he is now, good dude and absolutely self taught. Later I believe he studied with Jeff McBride but he was always practicing on his own.
To the vast vast majority of people he’s going to function as a dude just guessing
Poor format to include an expert. We’re just trying to watch the trick and this giant circle and talking head is a plain and simple distraction w marginal benefit at best.
Thats the neat thing! Most people that react to videos in this way, whether or not they are qualified, have a bigger social media footprint than just one video. So, if you want to find out more you can always check their other vids/other social media.
Sure that might be extra work but that is how we end up in this mess. People dont take the time to research the things they get fed through social media. Be the change, help others by doing the research and responding to others asking the questions.
You don’t seem to understand at all. We don’t want to research him and learn more about him, we want him to go away and never show his face in a video like this ever again.
Coming back to this in an attempt to avoid internet slam dunks and nonproductive dialogue (and ignoring your reeking condescension), you’re trying to make a broader misguided point about society being lazy and not doing research to wikipediabrown007; I literally do research for a living.
The reason my comment has so much traction and resonates w folks is that regardless of the speaker, someone sticking their head on content to add marginal value for themselves is just annoying manipulative marketing more reflective of selfishness in our culture at the cost of detracting from the content itself.
That some folks know who he is and that he knows the subject matter doesn’t override that he’s and blocking the content and adding marginal value.
Someone noting that doesn’t mean they are lazy. And just because they don’t research doesn’t mean they are lazy. They’re choosing to spend their time otherwise, like replying to niche Reddit comments.
Bro if a reddit comment is pissing you off so bad you need to write a 4 paragraph diatribe in response to an emoji it’s probably time to take a break or get some thicker skin.
This is every one of my kids youtube gaming reviews, I'm waiting for someone that reviews a reviewer, reviewing, a reviewer, russian doll nested loop of absolute nonsense.
That dude is about as random as Penn Jillette. I mean if you picked any person out of the world at random and it ended up being him it would be weird, I guess.
The apt analogy is if I was able to interrupt the video and intersperse my comments over the video, and add marginal value at best (regardless of who I am)
A famous professional magician being completly stumped by one of their peers is not useless. And also giving some background of others also attempting to solve it but not quite being able to. I definitely want to know more about the magician and how he came up with this.
This is a great example of the Reddit hive mind. You're getting downvoted for a neutral comment that normally people wouldn't even notice. Good heavens the brain rot is real.
The comment is fully worthy of a down vote., what are you talking about. Yes to 99% of people this guy is random. If the comment was “Random?? This is Famous Magician Guy” then the comment would have been useful but as is it’s a bad comment.
I’ve seen the vast majority of Penn & Teller: Fool Us but that doesn’t mean I follow any magicians career. Magic is fun to watch but unless you’re wearing a dragon onesie or have been in my face for decades like David Blane I’m probably not going to recognize you.
People like all kinds of things where they can’t name a single person who is a professional at it. I also like woodworking but I can’t name any of them.
And this is why I Reddit. Come for the magician, get the random TV show reference and enjoy some fan fic. I'm going to wear my vest today, until someone says I look like Ellen.
That would have been better than the mess we got. Now I’m trying to remember if there were any scenes that would have been impossible if Jane was actually Red John. Like if Jane, Lisbon, and Red John were talking on the phone at the same time.
IIRC they never did, and even if that were the case, the sheriff would've been Jane's stand-in anyways. don't forget how loyal everyone was to red john.
it's my own personal headcanon and will remain that way forever. the layup was there the whole time. who else could possibly know all there was to know about red john, except another personality inside the same head?
it was a real missed opportunity. i can appreciate why they didn't want jane to wind up being the villain, but lisbon hunting red jane (see waht i did there?) in latter seasons would've been a perfect way to pass the post-season 5 hump in big ways.
This might be a shocking ending but it wouldn’t be a “good” ending imo. Patrick loved his wife and kids more than anything - so killing them doesn’t make sense. Then you would need to convince me what was wrong with him to cause this psychotic state of split personality to begin with. And then, finally, it is known that Patrick is extremely good at deducing things - if the answer was that close to him all along, there is no way I would believe he couldn’t figure it out
That would not work as many people who have met red john have also met patrick. A better option wud be if lisbon was red john. Imagine this - they got married and on their wedding night patrick calls for lisbon to come to bed and lisbon is in the other room. its dark with only moonlight and lisbon opens a cupbord with a secret compartment with trophies of all her kills. She just smiles, closes the cupbord and goes to patrick. And just at that moment the series ends.
Just before he takes the appeared cards from his right hand, with his left hand he's getting more cards from his shirt, he repeated that pattern multiple times. So, when he "takes" the "appeared" cards, he's actually putting more cards on his hand.
The trick with the PoV is pretty good, that's the reason of the all black clothes, and black background. Most probably the cards "rim" is also painted black.
I pretty much only caught one move. Look at the first time he produces an entire fan with his right hand. Just before that, you can see him pull those cards from his torso with his left hand. Then he takes one of the produced cards from his right hand and transfers the new ones to his right hand at the same time.
Could there be string involved? Pulling the cards from somewhere else, controlled by a button under his shirt that he is manipulating with his left hand?
At .08 you can see a card flying into his left hand from the back well in front of his fingers by inches and it makes no sense to me, but I’m sure he built some kind of custom rig for moving or holding cards.
So you just straight up talk into your phone and don't look at what's being transcribed? Lol, just say "my bad" and move on. It's okay to not know something once in a while
All it takes is a single swear word or saying something that someone disagrees with politically to get demonetized by Google permanently. Everyone should be worried about monetization regardless of social class.
I saw a performance on TV when I was a kid of a guy doing a very similar routine and he was totally shirtless. And he was super fast. I swear he went through like 4 packs of cards in just one part of his routine and then he made a parrot appear out of nowhere. My mind is still blown 30 years later.
Guess here, but he takes the cards out of his shirt with his left hand, palms them while keeping our attention on his right hand. He has a skin colored pocket on his right hand (probably the palm) where he keeps a small number of cards that he’s moved from his shirt, to the left hand and then to the right hand with skin colored pocket. He conceals this by making it appear as though he has taken cards from his right hand and is holding them in the left. This overt card hold allows him to keep his left hand open and bring his left hand to his right to put cards into the pocket.
I know this is only part of the act, so...in the whole act are any of the card reveals shown from the side or are they all shown from the front with the black background? I ask because in this clip no cards were revealed while the shot was shown from the side, just a bunch of jazz hands, showing he was not close to the black curtain that is behind him in the frontal shots.
I went frame by frame and the bones on his right wrist seems weird. I suspect a gimmick mechanism around his wrist and skin color wraps to hide it. It would also explain the very weird angles the cards are appearing relative to his fully spread fingers.
I'm just explaining the most difficult card. There are lots of cards being pulled here. Ones on his shoulders. Ones being palmed by his other hand. Lots going on.
Rough that we've gone so far down the meaningless commentary road that nobody in this thread can comprehend that this guy might just be the kind of authority in the field that you should shut up and listen to. And that for him to say even he isn't sure how this trick was fully implemented is quite an interesting and valuable addition to an old video.
At a couple of points - hard to see due to guy at bottom right and low resolution - it looks like there's something looped around the base of his right ring finger and middle finger. He frequently opens and closes those fingers so I reckon that controls some kind of mechanism that releases cards from somewhere on his person.
I also think the cards are matt black on the reverse so part of the illusion is that when it looks like they are appearing from thin air they are actually being flipped around.
Still not sure quite how it works though, overall. Very slick.
Camera jumps so you can't see the handoffs, and the commentator dude's head is literally hiding part of the action, the left hand is getting more cards from the shirt
Imagine how much better this could’ve been without the idiotic narration. It’s coming up the back of his right arm from his sleeve which is why he will not expose that side to the audience. I don’t what the mechanism is but the repetition is a clear giveaway.
At around 28 seconds in you can see him grab more cards from his shirt with his left hand and then transfer them to his right hand. With that being said, I have no idea how he does such a good job of keeping them hidden before he fans them or “grabs them out of the air” but he’s very good. The execution is the most impressive part of the routine in my opinion.
anyhow, if you watch the magicians left hand behind the big fat head you will notice he flashes a couple of times thus giving up the secret of his trick
If you pause at 0.16 seconds, you can see a ring on his middle finger, the ring is connected to thin elastic bands to his shirt. Each time his left hand touches his shirt, he’s releasing the cards as the tension is released to the back of his right hand.
I’m suspicious of the black background. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are cards (with the top card and edges painted in that special dark paint) suspended where he can grab them.
It backpalming with cards switching from having a black back to a color regular one dynamically. The cards themselves might have a liquid crystal display or e-ink display on them to achieve this or just be mechanical in nature. When his fingers are spread you are seeing the card(s) in plain view with black backs, when they are flipped you are seeing them colored. You can see at one point in the video that one of the cards are thicker and awkwardly segmented.
That fucking guy is Matt Franco - a well-known magician, clearly commenting on how he thinks the trick is done - or rather, expressing how impressive what the magician is doing. This was clearly a snippet from somewhere else.
Why do we need to see this random dude’s reactions? Get out of there!
That random dude is Matt Franco. One of very well self taught magicians I have seen.
Won AGT and headlines a casino in Vegas. Definitely one of the most famous magicians out there right now.
Was his talent reacting to videos?
Yes but he won’t reveal how he does it.
I must study his reactions, frame-by-frame.
I think it's some kind of camera work... maybe mirrors and magnets are used for the impressions
You bet it is.
But fuck that random dude who has zero credentials to be commenting on magic tricks!!
Problem is the format. Don't care who the guy is.
Yeah, did they think we took issue with his credentials? I just hate talking heads while I’m tying to watch something.
Cool. Get his face the fuck out the way
Aren’t they all self taught?
Is there a professional magic school?
(don’t say Hogwarts!)
Winterhold
Underrated comment 😂
Arch-Mage is a bit of a dick though. Heard he’s in the Dark Brotherhood.
Durmstrang and Beaubaton
Magic castle.
I dunno about Hogwarts, but here in America we go to Ilvermorny Wizarding School.
There are some schools out there but no formal program. Magic is a variety of skills you need to practice many times over to make look smooth enough to feel like, well, magic. Only so much a school can do for that.
Indeed there is. Chavez College of Magic, if they are still around that is.
Why do we need to see a random very well self thought magician you have seen?
Yet he can't even make himself disappear out of the trick shot
Knew him before he got famous and he was the same then as he is now, good dude and absolutely self taught. Later I believe he studied with Jeff McBride but he was always practicing on his own.
That’s cool and all but he’s just there talking about not knowing how to do it tho
He also does a version of this trick as his big finale.
Sure wish he’d get out of this video
"One of the best..." might work even weller there.
Here is the full screen video without the talking head..
I get that the other guy is a famous magician but sometimes it’s nice to see the original video first.
They totally burried the lede by not showing the plastic bag and house of cards at the end.
Also, at one point with the big cards he screwed up and you can see the backs were painted black.
Add another random dude's talking bubble within that portrait complaining about him
it is not a random dude. That is Mat Franco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_Franco
To the vast vast majority of people he’s going to function as a dude just guessing
Poor format to include an expert. We’re just trying to watch the trick and this giant circle and talking head is a plain and simple distraction w marginal benefit at best.
Then why are you watching a reaction video and not the actual show the trick was on?
…Because it’s on the post that we’re on right now?
Thats the neat thing! Most people that react to videos in this way, whether or not they are qualified, have a bigger social media footprint than just one video. So, if you want to find out more you can always check their other vids/other social media.

Nah the neat thing is your condescending tone missing the point. I’m not here to research magicians. I’m here to see the trick.

Misdirection
Yea you can tell the magician is simply reloading his card holder behind the talking head. Not impressive at all
This is every one of my kids youtube gaming reviews, I'm waiting for someone that reviews a reviewer, reviewing, a reviewer, russian doll nested loop of absolute nonsense.
Bo Burnham does an incredible bit like this in his special "Inside"
Especially since his reaction was "not sure how it's done". Very helpful. /s
That dude is about as random as Penn Jillette. I mean if you picked any person out of the world at random and it ended up being him it would be weird, I guess.
Why do we need to read this random dude’s reaction? Get out of there!
Sigh…an actual analogy would be someone responding during my comment, over it, and adding marginal value at best.

It’s sleight, not slight.
Your poor analogy fails miserably.
The apt analogy is if I was able to interrupt the video and intersperse my comments over the video, and add marginal value at best (regardless of who I am)
Random?
apparently he is famous, but most of us dont know about him.
He is the prince of Magnets!🧲
I think a more appropriate word is “useless”.
People wondering and guessing in the bottom corner of a video are literally useless.
A famous professional magician being completly stumped by one of their peers is not useless. And also giving some background of others also attempting to solve it but not quite being able to. I definitely want to know more about the magician and how he came up with this.
This is a great example of the Reddit hive mind. You're getting downvoted for a neutral comment that normally people wouldn't even notice. Good heavens the brain rot is real.

If the famous magician guy is “random” to 99% of people on here, I question how they even got into enjoying magic to begin with.
I’ve seen the vast majority of Penn & Teller: Fool Us but that doesn’t mean I follow any magicians career. Magic is fun to watch but unless you’re wearing a dragon onesie or have been in my face for decades like David Blane I’m probably not going to recognize you.

That’s Patrick Jane, he’s looking good
Where’s red John
A better ending, and I'll say this every time someone mentions Patrick Jane and Red John, is this:
Jane is Red John. He's sleepy all the time because when he's not Jane, he's out doing Red John stuff.
When the sheriff is killed by Jane, it was meant to be the end of Red John because the two halves couldn't continue anymore
The final episode is a flash forward, a decade or so. Jane and Lisbon are married. They're doing their thing.
Lisbon comes home after a busy day of fighting the good fight. Finds a picture of Jane with the Red John smiley face.
And this is why I Reddit. Come for the magician, get the random TV show reference and enjoy some fan fic. I'm going to wear my vest today, until someone says I look like Ellen.
Dang that would have been a good ending.
That would have been better than the mess we got. Now I’m trying to remember if there were any scenes that would have been impossible if Jane was actually Red John. Like if Jane, Lisbon, and Red John were talking on the phone at the same time.
IIRC they never did, and even if that were the case, the sheriff would've been Jane's stand-in anyways. don't forget how loyal everyone was to red john.
I honestly wouldn't have minded if it all ended on season 2 (was it?) when Jane killed 'red john' in the mall. but this would've been so much better.
it's my own personal headcanon and will remain that way forever. the layup was there the whole time. who else could possibly know all there was to know about red john, except another personality inside the same head?
it was a real missed opportunity. i can appreciate why they didn't want jane to wind up being the villain, but lisbon hunting red jane (see waht i did there?) in latter seasons would've been a perfect way to pass the post-season 5 hump in big ways.

He’s now the stage manager. Season 8
Honestly could be a young Jason Donovan.
you can see cards on his left hand, close to the circle, a couple of times.
that doesnt explain all the trick of course, but you can see them.
0:19 and 0:29.
And you can see him touching his shirt with left hand a few times, presumably taking more cards from hidden pockets.
The deck is a finger cover fan. And maybe a lot of the cards are finger covers. Still cool, he's selling it.
Just before he takes the appeared cards from his right hand, with his left hand he's getting more cards from his shirt, he repeated that pattern multiple times. So, when he "takes" the "appeared" cards, he's actually putting more cards on his hand.
The trick with the PoV is pretty good, that's the reason of the all black clothes, and black background. Most probably the cards "rim" is also painted black.
You're right. It looks like the back of the cards are flesh colored.
I pretty much only caught one move. Look at the first time he produces an entire fan with his right hand. Just before that, you can see him pull those cards from his torso with his left hand. Then he takes one of the produced cards from his right hand and transfers the new ones to his right hand at the same time.
No idea where the other cards come from.
It's most likely a combination of several tricks. False fingers, folded cards, pulling cards from his shirt, passing, etc.
Could there be string involved? Pulling the cards from somewhere else, controlled by a button under his shirt that he is manipulating with his left hand?
Absolutely. Almost certainly.
At .08 you can see a card flying into his left hand from the back well in front of his fingers by inches and it makes no sense to me, but I’m sure he built some kind of custom rig for moving or holding cards.
Why is the second guy here?
He's trying his hardest to get monetized.
That dude is one of the most famous slide of hand card magicians in the country. I don't think he's worried about getting monetized on YouTube.
Not trying to be jerk but "slide of hand" made me lol
Speaking of jerk, im gonna go master my hand sliding now
“Look closely, I’ll make a magic rope appear out of thin air!”
Sleight
Yeah, voice text....
So you just straight up talk into your phone and don't look at what's being transcribed? Lol, just say "my bad" and move on. It's okay to not know something once in a while
Yeah I absolutely talk into my phone and then don't read all the text sometimes.
Nah, you don't.
K
All it takes is a single swear word or saying something that someone disagrees with politically to get demonetized by Google permanently. Everyone should be worried about monetization regardless of social class.
You fucking know what we were talking about
Its Mat Franco who headlines a casino in Las Vegas and won AGT. Very talented magician.

I knew it!
I saw a performance on TV when I was a kid of a guy doing a very similar routine and he was totally shirtless. And he was super fast. I swear he went through like 4 packs of cards in just one part of his routine and then he made a parrot appear out of nowhere. My mind is still blown 30 years later.
Similar experience only it was in person and there were no cards.
Oh cool, did he—
Oh, cool.
What a fantastic response.
Was there a parrot? Or just a shirtless guy? Because I may have news for you...
Blown?
I remember that one! He would produce a card and flick it away, then repeat with the other hand over and over, very fast. I still think about that.
Step one: be fabulous.
a witch!!!
BRING A DUCK!!
i know this trick. he opens up a small portal and an asshole from the other side hands him more cards
at 35 seconds hes clearly pulling cards out of the front part of his shirt.
I agree.
Guess here, but he takes the cards out of his shirt with his left hand, palms them while keeping our attention on his right hand. He has a skin colored pocket on his right hand (probably the palm) where he keeps a small number of cards that he’s moved from his shirt, to the left hand and then to the right hand with skin colored pocket. He conceals this by making it appear as though he has taken cards from his right hand and is holding them in the left. This overt card hold allows him to keep his left hand open and bring his left hand to his right to put cards into the pocket.
He's in league with the devil, it couldn't be any more obvious.
Everyone knows magnets only work when you borrow the devil's power
Sounding too much like my old home town full of baptist 😂
I know this is only part of the act, so...in the whole act are any of the card reveals shown from the side or are they all shown from the front with the black background? I ask because in this clip no cards were revealed while the shot was shown from the side, just a bunch of jazz hands, showing he was not close to the black curtain that is behind him in the frontal shots.
I think the answer lies within the angles like you said.
As others have mentioned, (some) cards are either flesh colored or black on the back. He has normal ones he shows the back of
I went frame by frame and the bones on his right wrist seems weird. I suspect a gimmick mechanism around his wrist and skin color wraps to hide it. It would also explain the very weird angles the cards are appearing relative to his fully spread fingers.
I'm just explaining the most difficult card. There are lots of cards being pulled here. Ones on his shoulders. Ones being palmed by his other hand. Lots going on.
There's definitely something funky with his hands, like a glove of some sort.
But it's tough to tell because this was filmed with a potato.
The most interesting things will always be filmed with a potato.
This is easy: he's magic
Rough that we've gone so far down the meaningless commentary road that nobody in this thread can comprehend that this guy might just be the kind of authority in the field that you should shut up and listen to. And that for him to say even he isn't sure how this trick was fully implemented is quite an interesting and valuable addition to an old video.

Reaction videos are the worst kind of video.

Nico Rosberg in an alternate universe where he gives up on F1 early in his life.

It was the 80s and fashion was just strange back then.
Okay so part of it is a "backpalm". Like this
Except Peter Marvey frequently shows both sides of his hands and spreads his fingers during the illusion.
There's a guy just off the camera angle popping cards into his hand
This for,at doesn’t help, it cuts off the fingers of his left and making the how about 10x harder.
Who's the dickhead in the blue circle.
How can I remove the ad on the right?
Imagine how much better this could’ve been without the idiotic narration. It’s coming up the back of his right arm from his sleeve which is why he will not expose that side to the audience. I don’t what the mechanism is but the repetition is a clear giveaway.

There is 0 sense with this stupid head on bottom
After watching yugioh, card tricks don't impress me anymore.
I believe the technical term is "magic"
That nobody is annoying.
At around 28 seconds in you can see him grab more cards from his shirt with his left hand and then transfer them to his right hand. With that being said, I have no idea how he does such a good job of keeping them hidden before he fans them or “grabs them out of the air” but he’s very good. The execution is the most impressive part of the routine in my opinion.
This is beautifully executed. Wow.
He Throws them with his other hand with extreme precision
I didn’t know Nico Rosberg did magic
I had a friend that could palm a coin with his had splayed it like that and I was never able to figure out how he did it and he never shared it.
anyhow, if you watch the magicians left hand behind the big fat head you will notice he flashes a couple of times thus giving up the secret of his trick
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Something to do with black background He is pulling cards from hard to notice pocket...
Weakest Link is doing anything for rating. Good on Lynch though.
Magic
If you pause at 0.16 seconds, you can see a ring on his middle finger, the ring is connected to thin elastic bands to his shirt. Each time his left hand touches his shirt, he’s releasing the cards as the tension is released to the back of his right hand.
do $100 bills
love it when half the screen is obscured for something I’m supposed to be watching
Doofus. It's in the name - he is a magician and this is magic
I’m suspicious of the black background. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are cards (with the top card and edges painted in that special dark paint) suspended where he can grab them.

There’s a dark line down his right arm at 00:44

I don't know maybe you should GET OUT OF MY SCREEN SO I CAN WATCH THE VIDEO????
Mirrors
28 seconds in you can see him put a full deck from his left hand into his right hand.
Yeah, perhaps. That is only to deceive you though. Most of the performance his hand is no where near the other hand nor his shirt.
Someone bring the original video, and remove this reaction slop from here.
Watching the left hand the whole time - I still don’t know how he does it but it’s a big hint as to how.
hes pulling them out of his jacket with his left hand, watch his left hand only
It backpalming with cards switching from having a black back to a color regular one dynamically. The cards themselves might have a liquid crystal display or e-ink display on them to achieve this or just be mechanical in nature. When his fingers are spread you are seeing the card(s) in plain view with black backs, when they are flipped you are seeing them colored. You can see at one point in the video that one of the cards are thicker and awkwardly segmented.
11 seconds you can see the edges of cards stuck to the back of his right hand. Still a fantastic trick
It’s easier than you think. Look up hiding a playing card one handed.
