“I didn’t say you could look at the card... I just wanted to establish who’s in charge here..” His skill is legendary but his sass is next level #RoleModel
Darwin needs to borrow the spectator named "Hannah" from Jason :) Hannah always is astonished by Jason, and she clearly does not believe what she is seeing. In contrast, Darwin's audience merely gives him a polite round of applause. He does not properly build up to the dramatic climax. Partly, this particular trick is too long and complicated, and it puts too much of a burden on the concentration of the spectator to appreciate it - it does not have the immediacy. Also, Darwin hides the deck (covers it too much in his hands) which makes it seem that he is doing some manipulation. That is, no matter how technically skillful he is, the spectator gets the gut feeling that something is happening behind the scenes. Contrast this with the immediacy of Jason's performance in which he "exposes" how he palms cards.
