'The World's Best' Magician Justin Flom's iPhone Card Trick 

Justin: “The magic will work wherever you are.” Me, at home: *excitedly grabs cards* Justin: *tears cards* Me: *puts away cards*

I actually went looking for cards for like 10 minutes... found them and came back, then this dude tellin me to rip em. I ain't ripping my cards, i clearly have only 1 deck if it took me this long to find them!

Justin: James, have I touched you? James: Not at all, not once... Did you mean emotionally? 😂😂

*'Shut the front door"* What a perfect Slang

I love how all of us are like "I ain't ripping my cards lmao"..! UNITE BROKE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! 😂

It has something to with math. I’m bad at math so I can’t prove it but i know it has something to do with math. Anything suspicious always involves math

For those who really care, the last trick is not about maths. If you tear four cards the bottom card is the key. You put the 4 half’s on top of the others but then take off 3 and put them in the middle. You take off the fourth and sit on it, this card matches the bottom of the deck you’re holding. Note that every time you put the cards in the middle, the bottom never changes. As you remove cards “love me not” or put them to the bottom “love me”, it works out that the last card is still the bottom one, matching the one you’re sat on. Very simple but very effective in the way it’s presented and clever with an audience!

09:31 the way he dropped his card 😂😂

"Do you mean emotionally?"

*Its amazing how these magicians are able to pull these tricks off!!*

Everyone in their homes taking their cards out Justin: rips the card Everyone:puts their cards back 🤣 can't rip the card

Well it's pure mathematics and brain diversion. Remember we all took four cards,tore them into half and then put right one above left or vice versa. So now it has 8 half parts (top one is card 1 and bottom one is card 8). So remember card 1 is the other half of card 5, card 2 Is the other half of card 6 and so on for card 3-7 and card 4-8. Now he takes out first 3 cards and put that in middle means card 8 is at the 8th position only which is last and card 4 comes at top which is the other half of card 8. Now he takes the card 4 (which is on top) to his pocket. Now the 8th card is at the last one only but it's number changed to 7 as there are 7 cards only in our hands as we have taken one in pocket. Very often he is saying to take Max 3 cards or none and putting them in middle. While doing all this, position of last card is not getting altered. The actual 8th card is still at last. And then he trades the card, still the position of last card (original card 8) is not getting altered. "Whatever things he is saying is just to divert ur mind so that u can realise that so many things r going on". And now he starts the game of loves me and loves me not. Remember he is putting odd number as loves and even number as loves me not. And then puts back the odd number card at back and drops the even number. Here is the catch, the original 8th card never faces the even number, it always comes at odd number so he is always putting that at back and finally only that card remains at last and then he matches with the card 4 which he put initially in his pocket. And we all know card 4 and card 8 r the match since beginning.

"Shut the front door" . *I AM DEAD😂😂😂😂*

the 4 cards trick works like this, assume you have card A, B, C, D, you tear them into halves, put them one pile on top of the other, so it becomes A1B1C1D1A2B2C2D2 take the first 3 cards out, and put them anywhere in the middle, so it becomes D1-sthsth-D2 (e.g. DABABCD) take D1 away and keep it under the butt, and you have 7 cards left then take any cards away and put it back but always in the middle, so D2 will always be the last card then when you play the "loves me and loves me not game", the first around you'd be keeping card #1, 3, 5, 7; then #3 & 7, then #7, which is card D2......sorry for my poor English

I love how genuinely excited James Gets watching magicians and mind readers etc. it’s adorable!

Didn't know macklemore was doing magic...dope

Love how Priyanka hid the half of her card in her chest area.. Hahahhaha!! Queen..

The card trick actually worked. Wow. I just tried it with my mom while watching the video. There’s must be some math behind it.

The best thing to watch... Priyanka's reaction.

I literally made my own cards with paper because i didn't want to tear my own cards and now i'm shocked

If you look closely at his left hand while he is recording the video from 3:45-3:50, you still won’t have any idea how he was doing it.

I just ripped up small pieces of paper lol too poor to rip my cards

Love how international this couch is, British , us, Aussie and Indian !

8:04 very desi Pri 😂😂😂 True Hindustani Woman.

I went looking for cards for like an hour and when I continued watching this video this says "rip them in half"! You've got to be kidding me! Naah bruh...

*idc if it's actually just a simple math or whatever but we gotta admit that he's smart*

1. Cards already torn 0:51 2. Polarizing Filter 3:24 3. Well, math...

I love how after the second trick.. they started to take him serious !!

Lets not forget that James said “screen grab” instead of “screenshot”

We are all Priyanka here 😂 always love a good magic trick!

This is the 2nd time I watched Prianyka on Magic Performance on Late Night Shows

When he said you could follow along at home I went and grabbed my cards, had 4 picked out but as soon as he said rip them I was like HeLl No these are harry potter themed 😂

priyanka trying to examine and solve all the tricks makes my life

5:40 James’s response to Pryanka was legit my same response

Such a beautiful woman pryianka ❤️

This is why I love magic. I got to do a project recently where I had to learn a ton of the key fundamentals of how magic tricks work, and my ability to understand the mechanics behind a trick (NO, an “illusion”... thanks Gob...!) has exploded. I was worried it would spoil everything about magic going forward. But instead, it’s opened up my appreciation of the art form FAR more than ever before. Like, rather than just be amazed, I can now make guesses as to how things were done, and even if I work it out or get close, the cleverness of the trick itself is just as amazing (if not more so) than the amazement of coming into the effect blindly. I have a theory for these, and if I’m right it’s insanely impressive. And if I’m wrong... well then literally the only explanation is that he’s truly magic! Either way, bloody well done!

I was ready to participate then he said to rip the cards😂😂um nope

“Shut the front door”. I died laughing! 😂

The first two tricks are sooo nice, I know the principles he used but the presentation takes them to the next level! Kudos!

For people who say they don't want to tear their cards just take 8 instead of 4. Make sure you have 2 cards from each suit and organize them in pairs according to the suit. Trick will work as well

Priyanka's reactions tho! 😂

Title:World's best magician Justin Flom David Blaine:Hold my *Frogs*

Nobody : Justin : Tear your cards Me : close the video

7:26 hit Pause. Notice how a few of the cards are all BLANK. ??????

magicians are not just magicians. They are also mathematicians and psychologist Edit: thanks for the like and for the "OK" replies haha😂

I screamed out loud here! Shut the front door!!! It worked on my side, I'm at home watching this, what in the hell happen!?

Justin: *tears cards* My broke ass: *does a pro gamer move and cuts out four random cards out of a piece of a sheet of printer paper* Justin: "trade with your neighbor!" My lonely ass: *does another pro gamer move and makes another card for my nonexistent friend to trade with* The trick works tho, so that's pretty cool.

When watching that last trick all I could think of was Penn & Teller shouting “I’VE FOUND LOVE!”. That’s the punchline when they perform that trick

*Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell*

Rebel and PC looks gorgeous as always

I tried the last trick and found out its very simple. The moment when he said tear it in half and place the left or right above. The last card of one deck and the first card card of another deck will be the same. And he also said while shuffling to place it anywhere in between except the top or bottom. As a result whatever you do to the rest of the 3 cards the card you kept away will match the card that is left after the' loves me loves me not' cameo. This is a very good example of deception and a simple magic trick that can amaze everyone. Beautiful presentation and follow through of the trick by him. I liked the trick.

10:11 On the right, the only person I've seen tearing the cards that way and still works, absolute Mad Lad

Okay folks, I’m not ripping the cards from my only deck for this! Lol

Priyanka rechecking every trick is literally me ! XD

very simple tricks but presentation is awesome so its feels like real magic

this is amazing!!

When Priyanka held up the cross with her fingers 🤣🤣

1:16 "Do you mean emotionally" James 😂😂

Justin: works wherever you are Me #excited: brings 4 cards Justin: Tear them Me: Puts them cards back in the deck 😂

That is mathematics.... there is a sequence in doing the cards stuff

Wow, that dude is amazing!!!! How do they do that?? LOL and Priyanka's reactions were hilarious.

here i am at 3 am, gettin shooketh to the core with now 6 ripped cards scattered throughout my bedroom....shOOKETH

UNDERSTOOD THE LAST TRICKKKK !!!! LOLLLLL

HERE IS HOW THIS TRICK IS DONE: Ripping the cards in half means you will have a half of the same card at 1/5, 2/6, 3/7, 4/8 1. After he has you shuffle the top 3 cards into the middle, the bottom and top card of your pile are the same. (if recreating, check this now for yourself) 2. He has you remove the top card to put away. Your bottom card is now the same as the card you stashed. it will ALWAYS be the same for any person doing this trick. 3. He has you shuffle any random # of cards needlessly into the MIDDLE of the deck - this is done to make you think something random is happening in your selections/mixing, when in reality your matched half is STILL on the bottom of the pile. 4. The combination of he loves me/ loves me not will eliminate one card at a time for you, while always ensuring the bottom card is a "loves me" (because all odd numbers will be a 'love me' the first time around, and each time the 7th card comes back to the top it will remain as such) 5. This will end with the bottom card as your last card - the match to the one you set aside. (humble brag, I figured this out as it was going on)

Scrolling down the comments too see if anyone has figured his tricks out 😅

Priyanka is Desi girl !!! She kept her card so safe😉, at 09:51 I was like WTF Love U priyanka....

Well I "think" I know how he did that wallet trick: First of all he (grabbed his own wallet ) which had a shadow of the card(3 aces) now while he was recording he had the flash on ,so now it makes the card visible because of the flash and now, you might be wondering if priyanka shuffled the cards randomly then how can he have the exact same card, well nobody knows it was a deck of different cards ( I mean the normal deck) it might be only the deck of 3 aces. That's totally my point of view I dunno if I'm correct. And sorry for the bad english i am not a native, I am still learning how to speak it.

I’ve seen Justin live! He’s absolutely amazing!

The iPhone trick works ONLY with flash. That's an illusion that only gets revealed with harsh light pointed directly at it. Forgot the name of the material used in the wallet but I saw it in my local magic store once lol

If you look at justin going through the cards at the start there are all aces

The wallet trick is just a reflective card, the cellphone flash makes it visible.

1st one: The corner was placed in James jacket back stage. You never saw the corner of the queen in the video, because it was covered by his hand. 2nd one: To begin with the 3 of diamond is on top of the deck. He ask Priyanka to lay down some cards one by one, which means the 3 of diamond is now the bottom of the deck. Afterwards he tells her to shuffle the rest of the deck, but that doesn't make any difference now.. When she has gone through the deck he ask her to cut the deck in half and place the second part at a weird angle. The second part is the bottom of the deck and the 3 of diamond The black in his wallet must be some kind of paper that is only transparent through a camera lense or/and with a flash. Something like that. And a 3 of diamond from another deck is stored behind it. 3rd one: After taking the initial top three cards and moving them into the middle of the deck, the top card you hide away under you matches the bottom card in your hand. Notice that bottom card never moves... You only move the top of the deck and always place it in the middle. The loves me loves me not part guarantees that the bottom card ends up being the last one. boom now gimme my like

I'm an amateur magician I'm 14 and I have an idea of how he did it and may I just say phenomenal work and so much practice

I did follow the tricks and rip my incomplete useless deck of cards and I got the same results oh my goodness I'll definitely will try this at my family

Is no one gonna talk about rebels cards being blank at 7:27

The only explanation i can think of for the camera trick is that there was a card in the wallet made out of a material that can only be seen by phone cameras (like infrared light or some sort of light filter bc) or maybe a material that only works with a light (see how he uses the flash of the cameras.. maybe something like the license plate covers that turns white when a speed camera takes a photo of them)

2:52 when your teacher makes a joke and you need to get an A

Thanks for coming to Paradise, Ca you were great wow!

Can we take a moment to appreciate the magician?

I watched this guy live and he's amazing. One of the best acts I've seen

James is just there freaking out and it’s so funny😂

OMG,I did that last magic and it really worked...Amazing and love it

Smart force by putting the first card as the force

Am I the only one that heard that guy yell "it didn't work for me" lol

Notice how the camera had flash on, and he conveniently removed his id. I assume the wallet had something where it’s reflective with light.

Brilliant ideas

Nice magic... enjoyed it...

the 3 of diamond was the first card to put into the pile, so no matter how she shuffles the rest of the cards, it would always be at the very bottom. He then cut the deck and put the bottom pile on top, so the "cut" card appeared to be 3 of diamond... the wallet was specially treated so the card appears only on camera but not by naked eyes, probably some tech thingy, note that he turned on the light on the camera when filming

*Not as good as my dad's magic trick. Told me to close my eyes when I was a kid and now he's still missing/invisible*

I just can't wait to do that on my own.

I love your show James!!

Thats a card that becomes visible on videos when there is light flashing (why need the light on a bright studio set?). Pre set 3 of hearts. 2:40 Had her draw the first few cards then suddenly wants her to draw however she wants. (This doesn’t matter anymore since the first card is the only thing that matters). Then cut the deck and put it on top in a weird angle. There you go the first card is the card of choice.

For everyone wondering... It's just MATHEMATICS, still impressive!

I did the group magic trick and it worked for me. Totally amazing!

Penn and Teller did the torn cards trick when I went to see them at the SSE Hydro. Worked for me but it's it's still a cool effect even though it's just mathematical.

Where is he flom? I needed to do the dad joke

You need Shin Lim on your show, James.

James Cordens show with the fabulous magician was A M A Z I N G!! From the UK 🇬🇧

That was mind blowing.

I just riped a few of my cards of my only deck of cards, but it worked tho😂
