Sagar bhai casually putting someone's set on YouTube 😂

Bro when he wrote Anand I was so happy

Explaining pawn trick:
Keep a keen eye on the video starting from 03:20. You'll notice that he releases all the white pieces but holds the black one in his hand until the end, when he finally drops it, and she picks it up. He was aware that she had the black piece, so he performs this subtle act before revealing the black pawn.

8:34 Hikaru explaining the trick to Fabi 😂

It is all about that woman / accomplice. He didn't drop the queen piece in the bag but held it with his fingers in the bag so that others would only pick white.

[kajavenon]

"something small you can hold in one hand" 💀💀💀

3:02: He asked her to stand in the corner. It was a setup to give the Black piece to the lady

3:27: He did not put the black piece in the bag. He will put it inside just after the third man picks white.

I think that woman was a paid artist.

Regarding the first part of picking people, He would have kept doing the left hand right hand juggling until only four people would be left including the woman

Awesome opening ceremony and relay, thanks Sagar bhai🎉❤

[unknown_d-ewuz]

wait did he find out anand's name on that think he just found justin and beyonce

[sansri]

16:33 the classic peak. Penn and Teller would not be impressed!!

[cycloneeditz]

i clicked coz i see HIKARU ON THE TUMBNAIL

[sedmercado]

the lady is her accomplice.

the paper bag of chess pieces are all white pieces.

just before he gave it to the lady, he dropped a black piece into the bag.

[vishalbhati]

HR arranging the team coordination activities!!

The pawn trick explained: It was the significant difference in weight of the pieces. That’s why he uses a feather light paper bag. As each piece is taken out he can gauge when the heavy queen is taken. This weight difference can easily be detected with a little practice. He needed to make it a black pawn to be impressive at all.

Clickbait. No Hikaru scene from the thumbnail

[MrFruxion]

He places her at the very left 3:07, because he wants to give her the black piece, and stay for the final. She has the ID on her, he got then full information on her. 18:00 "Thank you David"

[happyrabbit]

he just put something like a radio translator to each pawn so according to some mark like vibrating on his radio receiver he can probably call the color so Hans just do the same thing holding his radio reciever just not in his jacket but somewhere else and everybody know where is...

[clashdevil]

Btw 08:04 no matter who had the black piece he would still be technically correct cause of the words he chose

[steelsteez]

Trick revealed at 10:52 (when he asks for her card) and 11:14 where he takes the peek . The audience is 20 steps behind by the time he's "trying to guess the name". The whole writing celebrity names on a piece of paper part is used to put everyone's mind on aupilot while he sneakily collects her card and peeks at it. Great mind tricks.

Either Kendra is a plant or or he picked up the envelope at 14:39, but that doesn't explain how he got the birthday
