Some good math magic articles:

[KyrieFortune]

Vsauce at the beginning: ah ah see this cool magic trick
Vsauce at the end: death is inevitable

[gleamingfoonyman]

"Think of a card"
My brain immediately for some reason: Hearts of Spades

[AllenKey]

"Explanations don't dull mystery, they empower the mystified" Whoever writes the script deserves a bonus man

[jordanjamison]

"Even though you will die, most people won't even get to die. They won't even get to be born. So I'm glad you were."
Michael getting in my feelings

[snoopydog]

Is this just a coinsedence?

*laughs mathematically*

Yes.

[thepianokid]

14:49 In case anyone’s wondering, 52 factorial is 8.06581751709438E67. That’s 80 duovigintillion, 658 unvigintillion, 175 vigintillion, 170 nondecillion, 943 octadecillion, 800 septemdecillion.

[DakotaJohnson-vxdv]

Michael telling me that he's glad i was born is the nicest thing anyone has said to me in at least a decade

[PurlaneMauve]

Start of Vsauce video: "Why are words so random?"

End of Vsauce video: "So maybe bricks aren't so bad after all"

[trianglesandtricolour]

7:44
Michael: "Thank you very much... but not you Vanessa"
Vanessa: *laughs painfully*

[agent]

Now 77 people had it right 3 times in a row.

[southlagoon]

You're the reason I now want to start learning more things. Thank you Vsauce

[TopArchive]

2.5 million views, that means at least 20 people had the lucky numbers.. yet none of them commented.. They must have thought Michael is a witch or something.

[captainoblivious_yt]

Is this just a coincidence?
*smug laughter*
Yes.

[WoodlandDrake]

To this day, my favorite card trick is a math trick my uncle showed me. It involves dividing the deck in half, memorizing the 18th card in one half and then adding the value of cards (1-10) from the other deck to determine how many cards you deal off the top of a combined deck to get to the 18th card. It was wild to perform as an 8 year old when I couldn't understand the math behind it.

[Ancend]

Instructions unclear. After I took 5 steps, the sun engulfed the Earth.

[rxhx]

That 52 factorial visualization thing is the greatest mindfuck ever on vsauce videos!

[Jamazon]

Vsauce's thumbnails and titles are the opposite of clickbait

[bunsen_burna]

It is I, mathematics, and you are welcome.

[fsh_]

Is this coincidence?
*laughs in “no it’s not”*
“Yes”

[lorenzolondero]

I'm not even joking, he revealed the 3 cards I was thinking. I admit that when he did, it scared me lol
