A live performance of a classic 'street magic' effect that David Blaine has performed on several of his specials. At the end of the trick, he is holding the two black aces. Special Thanks to Dylan Stanton for filming.
nice performance, ive done this trick several times before, i like how when you give them the 1st card you turn it over then give it to them , even though you are genuinely giving them the same card, this way is better as when u do the triple lift it is less suspicious
Quick question when doing this trick is it better to go from two red aces to two black queens or two red queens to black aces i suppose the trick has more visual effect when the cards go from red to black abd chsnge from number to picture cards and vice versa?
It doesn’t matter. I present the trick kind of differently nowadays. The important thing is just the clarity of the trick. If you can have a reason for the change into the second set of cards, that is ideal. But yeah anything to emphasize that a change has happened can’t hurt.
@@ashleypancholi8706 it depends on the context. Nowadays I rarely do it as a totally standalone effect. I guess I usually do red queens to black aces. Sometimes, if I’ve already had two cards selected, I’ll do red queens to whatever cards they picked. Whatever feels right.
For the most part I think the top change is the only messy move in this trick I mean you did a good job by executing the top change but the move itself the top change is noticable when you play it over and over again.
Tis the case with most magic on video. Only way around it is cutting it out of the frame. Luckily there was glare on the cards here so it’s not crazy noticeable.
