![]() hundreds of shitty "let me show you a card trick" type tricks.I don't have a video camera but I'd love to do one of my favorite slight of hand tricks for you.I'll see what I can dig up.I know this sucks as an example, but I can "dove tail shuffle" a deck of cards.one handed. I'd rather know 5 really good tricks really well vs. Don't get me wrong, that's not a challenge I just find that sort of stuff neat. If you're better than him, then I would love to see you perform some tricks in front of a camera. And from what I've seen, Blaine has pretty good sleight-of-hand.

Sure it's fun to watch.sort of.but it would be better if it was a GOOD magician - View image here: -Besides, how many years ago was that special on, and what has he done since of the same nature? Nothing. He did mostly old, established tricks, and looked completely bored the whole time.I've seen plenty of better magicians. It appears to be "magical".Being at one point an amateur magical enthusiast, I can tell you from experience that the guy (at least from what I've seen from the show), is not particularly "talented". Make is apparently doing something impossible without letting the audience KNOW how it's done. I don't deny he's certainly more "successful" than me, if that makes him "better", sure.It's not "fake". Originally posted by That right there makes him better then you - View image here: - Really though its fun stuff to watch, I know its all fake but its still cool that he pulls stuff off and makes us wonder how he did it. You need a long sleeve shirt to do it, but I've freaked out plenty of people with it.-He's an undertalented hack who somehow convinced the TV people to give him a crappy show. He STARTS with his arm around, thus making it look like he's turning it the "wrong" way. The ones he does that DO have skill I actually figured out by watching him a few times.You know the one where he shows the top card as the Ace of Spades, and then he HANDs the card to the athletes and then somehow when they turn them over they're different?Double iple lifts.etcI read that he did hundreds of takes with multiple groups and they showed only the extreme reactions where people flip out.FYI the trick where he "turns his arm all the way around"? Child's play. 3/4 of the tricks he does are the most basic of magic shop tricks that don't take ANY skill. It's called "The Invisible Deck" trick and can be purchased from your local magic shop for less than $10.00It takes precisely ZERO skill, and I won't spoil the trick here, but until i knew how it was done I was blown away too.quote:Originally posted by Chugg:Bullshit.

Magic is easier when you get to edit out the mistakes or not-so-successful tricks or the wires. Plus, you have to realize that his stuff is shown after the fact, so of course they are only going to show the ones where it worked. Magic is easier when you get to edit out the mistakes or not-so-successful tricks. "Is it 7? Oh geez, you must have thought about it, but changed it to 3 or 5." or something like that, and then move on to the next magic trick to make that person forget that your luck didn't ring true there. Use the top 3 numbers, and hope for luck. People's mind are structured pretty similiarly in their retention of random values. Research the most common answer people give when you term things in a certain way. ![]() ![]() ![]() Originally posted by pianeon:The only Blaine trick that blows me away is the "think of a card, don't tell anyone, your card is blah!" trick. ![]()
