Love it how he explains the whole 9 yards and people are still looking' at him like HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

[fetusfajitas]

Does anyone else feel really fucking stupid right now?

[soccerguy]

It's so strange seeing him explain it.

[ittapupubutts]

The audiences in the office sure are depressing to show tricks

[BigDilf]

He explained the whole thing and I still don't know to get it😂

[joshuabyron]

Kudos to him for explaining his tricks - It in no way detracts from how talented he is at his craft.

[SampsfaN]

No matter how many times someone explains how he does it, I'll always be amazed by David... every single time!

[bryantaylor]

This is the first card trick I've seen that is actually even more impressive when you know how it's done.

[TheDunester]

It frustrates me how goddamn boring that crowd was.

[jamesbarris]

Blaine is one of the greats, and this proves it. He shows you how a simple trick can provoke astonishment, in the hands of a capable performer.

[thomasw]

I'm still amazed at how fast he interlaced the cards.

[chaunceybillups]

I can't believe I just seen David Blaine explained one of his own tricks

[sly]

Blaine's act is so casual that ppl have no idea how ridiculously smart he is! Awesome stuff

[HKim]

The more impressive part is remembering people's names that you just met.

[Zeemas]

If I did this with my asshole friends, they would go through the 'indicator' card deck until the very last card. What then?

[agartha]

If the person picked an even card you just pick the top card from the deck they were taking it from instead of the one they are dealing into their hand. That way you will always get the cue card.

[IDMYM]

Theres the magic even in his explanation. Truly a magician!

[uzef]

I'm more confused than I previously was after hearing the explaination

[frasenal]

Everyone who didn't get it - at 4:55, the trick is that even though he explained it, the one that Ryan decided to stop at and the one that is in the lady's hand, they are both the same 8 of clubs!

[poppnbottlez]

ok but how did he make that girls forehead so shiny?
