    Everyone knows how this trick is done by now, unless they're completely new to magic acts. Penn and Teller did it with clear plastic cups so you can see how it works.

    When he puts the first orange under the cup you can see it, but he is amazing at that transition. He moved the cup to his hand and put the orange in it in a single motion, allowing him to use his other hand to attract the audience's attention. It's hard to imagine being that smooth and precise while looking so casual.

    It's great fun to try to figure out what he's doing. Once you realize that, like coin tricks, he never actually passes the ball from hand to hand and there are more than 2 balls, it becomes a game of tracking where they all are. Even when you've figured it out, he does this routine so flawlessly and confidently that you can be amazed at the skill of the performance itself.

    There was an amazing magician in Seattle named Cliff Gustafson who performed for customers at a bar I worked at. He was in his seventies. He would often do this exact routine here except he would sort of slip up just a tiny bit, on purpose. I remember the first time I saw it. A friend and I gave each other a look like, "aww, he's getting old", but then when he asked you which cup the ball was in and you "knew already" because you saw the slip, he'd pick it up and instead a tallboy of PBR would be there! I watched him do it again for another table and repeat the fake slip up. He was using his age to really get us! RIP.

      I've seen that in street three card monte. The dealer "accidentally" bends the corner of a card. A plant in the audience says to a mark "look, he bent the queen" or whatever. Then every time the dealer shuffles, the marked card is in fact the queen, until the mark is convinced and bets. then the marked card mysteriously changes to something else. VERY smooth and another deliberate mistake.

      He's also lying, the trick is that there is more than 2 balls, and he'll tactically wave his hands and swap between the pockets so you cant tell when he's putting the balls in. Its very obvious when you watch his hands as they move to the pockets and keep track in your head of where the balls would have to be, although he's far too good to spot anything but the oranges.
      And yes, he's always actually removing the ball, by saying he's not actually picking the ball up, you get confused and think he's not. Going frame by frame shows he totally is.

    • @Bunny99s
      @Bunny99s 3 года назад +18

      The point is the amount of time that passes until he actually reveals the lemon / orange. He put them in way earlier ^^. The lemon actually almost a minute earlier. Since the lemon is really under the cup he can only do that when we actually lifted the cup the last time. Thanks to YT you can rewind and get that spot. That's why recorded performances loose alot of it's magic. Because when watching the live performance the time that passes is important. At the time he reveals the lemon you can't even remember when he lifted the cup the last time. The core of most magic tricks is that the important stuff happens at the least interesting places ^^.

    It’s really interesting to watch this, because if you pay attention you can actually see how the trick works, but even then he moves his hands in ways that still make it very hard to actually see what’s going on. If you’re not paying attention (which is the whole point of magicians being flashy, to take your eyes where they want you to) you’d easily miss all the intricacies behind the trick. This is why I love magicians and slight of hand in general.

    THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW THE TRICKS! IT WILL SPOIL THE ILLUSION
    for clarification:
    his left hand = left hand from his point of view
    the left cup = left cup from our point of view
    same for right (duh)
    1:45 Puts Ball under cup while grabbing the one on top
    1:48 Pretends like he throws the ball in his left hand but keeps it in the right
    1:53 puts ball from right hand under cup while picking ball up with left hand
    1:56 Pretends like he throws the ball in his left hand but keeps it in the right
    2:36 pure Magic
    2:49 grabs ball from right cup with his left hand and puts ball from 1:56 under left cup --> if the person in the audience chooses the other cup he would say something like "you choose this cup so there will be 2 balls now" in reality it doesn't matter which cup will be chosen he can just talk his way out of it
    3:05 puts ball from 2:49 in cup while turned away
    3:09 Pretends like he throws the ball in his left hand but keeps it in the right
    3:17 puts ball from 3:09 in cup while turned away
    3:24 Pretends like he throws the ball in his left hand but keeps it in the right
    3:30 buts ball from 3:24 under left cup
    3:39 Pretends like he throws the ball in his left hand but keeps it in the right
    3:41 puts ball from 3:39 under right cup
    3:45 picks up ball from left cup and puts lemon (currently in his left hand) in left cup while turned away
    3:48 puts ball from 3:45 under right cup while picking ball with left hand
    He repeats this a few times always pretending to put the ball in his pocked but actually keeping it and putting it under the cup with his right hand
    4:00 same thing but he doesn't pick the ball up this time only adds one with his right hand
    4:04 puts orange (currently in his left hand) in right cup (if you look closely you can actually see the orange)
    4:32 puts orange (currently in his right hand) in left cup while audience is distracted with lemon (it's hard to see cuz it's off camera)
    Overall I have to say that he was spot on with his performance, if you're not focused you get distracted easily and miss something
