I think the thing I love most about this video is that while he looks great pulling one over on all the unsuspecting guests, we know the actual crew have no excuse. Presumably they're all on high alert, both excited to have him in studio, but also abundantly aware of exactly what's he's capable of, yet he still manages to get them too. Guy's a rare talent.

And it's really clever if you know how he did that trick. He was, in a round about way, telling us exactly how he did that trick. In fact, I'll go ahead and spoil the trick It's pretty basic, so I think no magician would mind. (SPOILERS BELOW) He conditions us by actually moving the coin to the other hand. The repetition then helps hide that he didn't transfer the coin the last time.

@ZipplyZane 4 месяца назад
@@flutisticwonder Again, I don't want to spoil people who don't want the trick spoiled. So I'm typing a bunch of text in front of the explanation. (Spoilers ahead) He palmed it. Look at his left hand. It looks relaxed, but look at his pinky and ring fingers. They're curled up. You can easily hold something that way. And he's very careful not to move his hand where you could see the other side. Compare that to how he moves his hand when it is definitely empty. It's actually a fairly common hand shape that magicians use. Once you learn about palming, it's hard not to notice.

Maybe it's a cultural/regional difference but I feel like a lot of these require a level of handsiness and crowding of personal space that's awkward with a stranger. The jacket ones were the most egregious. You hear about Barcelona, Rio and Paris as crawling with pickpockets and I wonder if it's more common in crowded cities with more touchy feely cultures.

In Barcelona and Paris you don't notice it (so no touch), it's very often done on subways where it's crowded.

hes way too touchy for me, i’d tell him to back off or i’d pull away at the start, so idk how difficult that makes it for him, but im sure most people wouldnt let a stranger get so touchy
@fluffyx1676
@fluffyx1676 4 месяца назад
He's extremely good at making the touch feel natural. I would also bet a lot of the places he touched the participants, they wouldn't be able to recall, since he kept redirecting their focus on other things, and the brain can't focus on all things at once. His charisma, social skills and good looks help make people be more relaxed around him also, so more touch is 'allowed'. Lastly, a key principal shown in level 2, he often directs their focus on what he is about to steal, and touches the thing, to make it less obvious, by actually making it seem 'too' obvious that he would do such thing. Think of hide and seek. If you are allowed to move around wile hiding, you drastically increase your chances of not being found, if you go to a place the seeker has just checked. They generally won't pay attention to that place again, before they've been to every other place.@@santiv4

@@TrumpForPrison2023 If you think a casual and half-humorous "hey, I recognize you" appreciation comment is "putting someone on a pedestal" or "blushing", then it sounds like you're really lacking in ordinary friendly appreciation in your life to help you not feel bitter (and I'm guessing envious) about seeing friendliness in the wild. Your comment has "type of dude who thinks a friendly hug means a chick wants to bang" energy. I definitely do an above-average amount of spreading compliments and appreciation to others, it's a hobby/lifestyle for me right down to complimenting strangers in grocery stores, but still, seeing this shouldn't stand out as that weird to you. I think you need to recalibrate your meters, "bro". I'm sincerely unsarcastically sorry for you about whatever underlies your crankiness about my comment. Fwiw I'm sure you're an interesting and good person who deserves to feel recognized and appreciated too. (I like your username btw)

A variation on the first one resulted in the loss of my phone at an outdoor cafe in Bogota. The thief pretended to want money for some magazines, placed some of them on top of my phone, then after a minute grabbed his magazines along with my phone that was underneath and disappeared quickly. It took me about 20 seconds before I realized what had happened.
