I just learned that two randomly chosen participants from the audience are better at shuffling cards than I am.

The real magic is turning 10 seconds of sleight of hand and 5 seconds of a standard force into 8 minuets of entertainment. A true professional entertainer.

Nobody has caught that his first attempt to force the “3” on the guy in the audience failed. So he pulled it away and made a joke about it, then tried again with the same force. Amazing performance

-Did you feel that?
-No
-That’s why I’m here without a date.

My man..

The girls aren't plants - they're real people from the audience, notice how their hands quiver out of nervousness of being on stage. The real trick happens when he has them count the cards in his hand - he then palms 3 cards on the first girls deck and hands it over to her and asks her to hide it.

He does the same with the second girl, only this time removing 3 cards before he hands it back for her to hide.

Lastly, the guy in the middle is asked to pick a seemingly random card, but he's really fanning the deck in a way that pushes the 3 card into his hand. As the guy reaches deeper into the deck, he pulls away and distracts him with small talk. The second attempt is intentionally made to look like a mistake - it's meant to put pressure on the guy to just quickly pick a card - and when he fans the card the third time, the guy takes the card being pushed towards him subconsciously not realizing that he's just trying to remove the spotlight from himself.

Great magician - it uses psychology and sleight of hand to create pressure on the audience member.

I wish he mentioned if this was his favorite trick or not!

4:49
"What number you got, sir?"
"three"
"cool"
the moment he realized that his trick worked

Is no one going to talk about how accurate he is when he says " A cross between Jack Black and Orson Wells ".

[vissshhnuuuu]

I don’t know how many of you noticed but if you listen carefully, you'll find out the fact that this is his favorite trick.

Hopefully Chris has upgraded from the small room with folding chairs to something better in the past 3 years.

"As hard as I try, the hand is not quicker than the thigh"
He's a poet and... well I think he's quite cognisant

[Mike-bnww]

The real magic is his confidence...I wish i were even half this composed or sure of myself

[randoiguess]

This guy put all his points into Perception, Intelligence and Charisma

[michaelthornes]

THE... CARDS... It’s happened before...

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

A genius magician and a top tier comedian as well, this man is a legend.

[tommydowning]

I've seen more of this guy's videos now. People keep talking about the magic as if that was the whole point of this. This is about ENTERTAINMENT and this guy's giving is a stellar performance.

[nox__bbx]

This is real magic, making the crowd laugh

[jaktamsobienapytaniecorobi]

pfff, when I tell a joke, people stop laughing. I bet he can't do that.
