_Moxie!!!_ (Humility + Action) He walked out and shook the MC's hand BEFORE the MC finished the full delivery of his anticipatory introduction. He didn't wait until the ultimate build-up of fanfare. With nonverbal communication he said to everyone in the room, "Hey I got this. No need to inflate me _tóo_ much (the humility part). I'm not going to rely on resting on my laurels here with you. I'm going to prove my worth to you with my ówn words and hands," (the action part). _Nice!!_ What a killer!!
This is really clever. It isn't about not knowing the trick, or even knowing where to look, it's about thinking you saw him do something he didn't, or looking for a move that is already made. That way you can tell the truth
Maybe a heat thing ,or turning notes inside out ,either way all his stuff is great to watch , and with a skill level much higher than most, never been disappointed with this gent's ART !

Calling it simply ‘misdirection’ kind of lowers the status of what we are seeing which really is seeing the impossible made possible. It takes a lot to beat Penn and Teller twice!
Tht last trick with the cards I caught tht....the camera revealed and I have been practicing tht from a youtube channel.. .pretty neat tho!!! This guy is badass fucking fast and sweet!!!
if you have to watch it in slow-motion or a second time it is not the intention of the trick. he is a master of misdirection and that's the hardest part of magic. his performance is just amazing and even if you know how it works you'll never be able to do it the same way as good as he does it without years and years, maybe decades, of practice.
he folded the other note inside when he folded it and the way he folded it he just twisted the note and it made one go to the outside and the other to the inside. when he shakes his hand he is twisting it and before he opens the other note is firmly in the palm of his right hand
I bought Free Fly from the Johnson Smith catalogue when I was about 10-years old. Imagine my disappointment when I realized that you had to practice and master the trick to fool anyone.
Insanely good control though to move the cards in plain sight. Imagine how much practice in order to control and move the cards like that. Amazing Simon
5:53-5:57 He shows his right wrist and the inside of his right hand, but only shows his left elbow and never the inside of his left hand. He purposely positions his left hand in such a way that you can’t see what else he’s holding other than the green poker chip. That’s how you know he’s hiding the extra red poker chip in his left hand.
(spoiler) yeah i notice that, he have 2 red poker chips and he is good and hidding them even when he change them from hand to hand (5:28-5:36 you can see when he changes the left one to the right hand but never see the other chip by hidding it in the green chip) , but still thats a pretty good slight of hands (btw mark spoiler don't be a pooper by ruining the magic)
I think the real genius is how often he shows his empty hands. He's not even particularly good at holding the chips in clever ways. Basically if he's not showing you his palms there's an extra chip in there
there are 2 red poker chips :) secret revealed. Stop at exactly 6:00 (where you can see both red chips) and watch the trick again in 0.25x motion, and everything will make sense :)
Yup, I saw this comment on another video. Because of that I've known how the trick is done for awhile and yet, this is still one of my all time favorite magic tricks and I keep coming back to see it again and again. It's almost like protecting the secrets of magic only saves the lame tricks and a good trick is proven by how amazing it still is after the secret is revealed
Sadly with this vid his undeniable skill is marred for me by the guy's smugness - he comes across as a smart arse. I mean, c'mon.. watch me do a trick in Mandarin?! What a shame. This is why lots of people don't like magic, because the magician sets himself up as 'the cleverest guy in the room'.Thankfully magic has moved away from that old-fashioned idea of 'Look how clever I am' and these days tries to be more mutually engaging.
