David Blaine in ‘97: Check out these card tricks.
David Blaine in 2021: I’m going to stab my hand with an ice pick
Haha! Your comment is so true.
@@Sixjays I feel like he does it so much his hand has muscle memory to being stabbed
More like 2005: stabbing his hand with an ice pick
Por
David Blaine in 2071: I’m going to shoot myself with an A-10 Warthog with 30mm incendiary explosive bullets out of a gatling gun, as well as the zing of getting a little boy nuclear explosive bomb dropped directly on top of my head, which being shot at by 95 american snipers with .50 caliber Barret sniper rifles.
David Blaine is Aubrey Plaza’s magician brother.
this deserves more likes
Wow. Good observation. I see the similarity.
Who dat?
@@hinkhall5291 David's a magician.
@@cristonsloan I think he means Aubrey lol
At 3:20, if you slow it slow it down to .25x, you realise that you have no idea how he did it.
Its actually a special deck of cards not a real deck
Nick B A special deck that makes crinkled cards you mark with your name appear at the top?
When he flips it back over he pushes it out and drops another card on top of it, that’s why he’s holding it face up so you don’t see the other card, and that’s the one that he puts In the middle of the deck so the ace is always on top, but in this case he dropped two cards on top of it so he can get that effect with the crimped card after, notice when he reveals it he’s holding it as one card when it’s actually two, I’ve done this trick before it’s actually really easy, he’s not lying when he says that they are simple tricks as a lot of David blaines tricks are actually really simple and easy to do, it’s actually dumbfounding when you realize how easy some of them are especially the ones with the best reactions.
actually he carefully bent two cards, yif you pause and go frame by frame you can se how his fingers hold the bent cards so you never see that there are two. he puts his fingers abobe the bent so it doesnt pop up, ant then he take the upper bent card that is not andys one. and place it on the deck. the second card he bent is always up but he keeps his finger abobe. then when he snaps he release his thumb and the card pop up. you need to spend days training that.
@@claudiurogojan7114 yes! he bent two cards at once.
David: “Do you feel anything Conan?”
Conan: “I feel a tingling in my lower body “
Classic Conan :')
That was Conan pissing himself
Andy: I didn't feel nothing. David: I'm sorry.
That's what u call "A magician and comedian crossover"
David Blaine is an absolute master of presentation. Clearly he has refined his craft to such a high level. Damn near a cultural icon.
@Keeranbikash Patra That is the exact same reason I gave up looking for a wife!
@Keeranbikash Patra Oh ok then...in that case you used the wrong emoticon.
Its just card tricks .. calm down.
@@whereisthehook Maybe it's possible that the original commenters opinion was in regards to *all* of David Blaine's performances from past to present, and *not* just these "card tricks". ???
I share the sentiment. David Blaine is definitely a master of presentation!
It really seems that you just aren't that familiar with David Blaine's unique style of engaging his magic with people as well as his endurance performances.
....you calm down! You overreacted to a very valid opinion that nearly everyone who is familiar with David Blaine would agree with!
@@joshriver75 thanks lol
David's thing, besides being very good, was his chill and spooky persona. he made people feel afraid seeing card tricks. nice
Unlike most magicians, David actually has a genuine character.
He is the best
Honestly a lot of card magicians do
He’s not the best magician out there but your right there’s something about his character that draws people in
Then why doesn't he show it?
so how many magicians have you actually gone to watch live ? now the man is not a magician because he uses camera tricks when he does his TV shows he may have personality but he's got absolutely no skill whatsoever
“I prayed to you to get this job.” 😂😂 it flew under the radar but it was fantastic.
What does it mean?
He's saying he really is the devil
He’s saying he prayed to the devil to get his job (be a talk show host). He realises David is the devil and he prayed to him.
I loved how Conan slipped in "I prayed to you to get this job remember?" and then let out the chuckle when a couple of people finally registered the joke in the audience.
probably true for most people in hollywood
Conan: “I prayed to you to get this job”
😭😭
😳
yeah what? he saying he prayed to Blaine / the devil.
Don’t read to into this comment I meant it as a joke 😂, y’all really out here believing people sell their souls 🤦🏻♂️🙄
That was a good line 😂
People do
When he flicks through the deck quickly for Andy and the audience to choose a card the only card you can see for long enough is the Ace of Diamonds. Try it! I went back several times and that is the only one your eyes can distinctly identify. He is so incredibly good with his hands that he allows the Ace of Diamonds to linger just a bit longer than all the rest. He’s incredible!
If you play it at 0.25x, you'll see that he uses the ace of hearts to prepare the audience for the ace of diamonds. He also used the 9 hearts to prime the audience to recognize a red card. It's genius.
EDITED
@@IsThisRain wow! Cool 👍
@@IsThisRain there is only one ace of diamonds in the deck... do 0.25 playback and quickly click pause and play as many times as you need to
@@christopherchrisss8044 Oh yeah, he used the ace of hearts instead as a primer for the ace of diamonds.
Ok I will not revile theses tricks
I've never seen Blaine smile so much as he did the two or three times he did in this video
Andy really wrote the "ToyStory Andy under the boot" on that card.
Plot twist: Toy Story is about Andy Richter's toys when he was a kid
A moth goes into a podiatrist's office
me too that was crazy
Because he get us not to perceive any other cards.
Me tooo... holy shettt
@@amaralfar4144 he intentionally highlighted the ace of diamonds by flip other cards quicker
Yo mine was tooo ace of diamonds
I didn't like David Blaine that much when he first came on the scene, but lately while watching all of his stuff, he does things that are closer to sorcerer type shit than magician type stuff.. He is amazing. He's always carried himself in a nonchalant sort of way, but he's still around. Much longer than most others have lasted.
He's really good but he does cheat sometimes. Look it up. He fakes some of his bigger stunts. Not all of them but some of them.
@@michialphelps2339 yeah, but then he doesn't fake other ones, like stabbing his hand or arm with a metal rod, or keeping frogs or fish in his stomach for an entire set where people say an animal and he pukes up that animal on command. The dude is ridiculous and you just don't know what's real and what's not with him. That's probably part of his allure and why he's been around for so long.
Many magicians sold their soul for gifts of magick. Look at all the old posters with demons and devils on them.
@@michialphelps2339 So you're saying he's not REALLY doing magic and that some things are faked? Thanks for your insight, Captain Obvious.
@@AlexanderMoen that's a good point. I don't mind him faking certain stunts, he does a lot of real ones and the fake ones aren't completely fake just the lethal part which makes sense lol we are only humans at the end of the day but you know how audiences are, they want to see a performance no matter what so you gotta give the people what they want lol
"I prayed to you to get this job"
Went straight over everyone's head
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAUGHT THAT !!! And the "they don't get what I'm talking about"... my body got chills
I dont get it :(
@@jeuneroi3069 You really don't?
@@jeuneroi3069 They were saying earlier that "He is the devil" Conan prayed to the devil to get his job.
@@GretSeat yeah i still don't get it
7:58 “I prayed to you to get this job” 🤣😂🤣 I just got the joke!!! 😂😂 wow Conan and David Blaine 2 living legends
He's really good at the 1-2 shuffle. He bent two cards and shuffled the signed one on top while the other was underneath. His sleight of hand is really great.
That's a requirement of you wanna be a magician
@@ND-OPS I have arthritis.
Nice catch...you can see it in slow mo. He lets go of the side of the card as he snaps his fingers causing it to pop up. Freaking awesome.
The way my heart stopped cold because I picked the ace of diamonds
I love the looks of confusion. It's brilliant, David is brilliant, Conan is brilliant and of course Andy is brilliant.
Am I crazy, or when he smiles, he looks like Aubrey Plaza. They have the same smile.
You beat me to it
Yup. They both have the Manson lamps, like Richie Aprile.
Yes
This girl Leslie I know has that smile too
@@jacksonkimball4583 nice
That crimped card trick is amazing
" I prayed to you to get this job." that was the highlight of the video
We all see Ace of Diamonds. Most people remember the last one and he moved it so quickly but little pause in the end so the only one you can probably remember is Ace of Diamonds. This is the trick and he perfected it. 👏👏👏
Yeah that was cool lol. Messing with our brains
The fact that he does this with modern cameras zoomed in; (& you can rewatch in slow motion) puts him levels above what people were doing back in the day
His tricks weren’t anything special, or new for that matter, that put him above other magicians, even by the standards of back In the day. His success was largely due to how he carried out his persona and how he marketed and documented himself as a street magician, that in itself was something no other magician was doing at the time.
@@Mr.Soul99 His sleight of hand is pretty smooth though
I can’t believe how amazing his sleight of hand movements are. Unbelievable lol
He looks like Aubrey Plaza when he smiles as he's talking about a woman having an asthma attack.
It’s the dead eyes
That's his greatest trick. After his magic fame, he created an alter-ego and became a successful dead-pan comedian/actress called Aubrey Plaza.
I've seen other magicians do similar tricks and they explained how they do it. But watching David do these, even over and over again and in slow motion, you just can't see anything. It's flawless. No matter how much you think you know how he's doing it, you really can't identify when and where it's done.
He flashed few times.
He flashed during the clsssic pass but he prob didnt knoe the angle of the camera
You can see at 0:38 how he sets the whole first trick up. The camera angle is not in David's favor...
Double lift
@@kulserz6747 yeah but I give him the leeway of 98
The camera angle on the pass was wrong but it worked for Connan I think. The DL’s were so nice and I havent seen a force more subtle than that, wow!
This was 25 years ago🤯 The way his tricks and illusions have evolved from doing card tricks to now swallowing frogs is just absolutely insane. This guy is a legend💯
Yeah he almost died like a thousand times now 😂 or we thought that he might die at least
so what you expect him to do the same shit for 25 years ? guys learned so much of course hes going to up the ante
I love how this whole routine... all 4 tricks relies on a series of the same move over and over and over!! it's perfect
Please explain
@@eldoradorail8891 Yeah sure ... mainly what he is doing is one simple move that makes you think the top card is a different card. (happy to DM you with the move but I don't want to ruin the trick on public media! ) and then he presents the trick multiple different ways with different stories and directions. It is a very visibly appealing trick done in different ways. Great routine! I love it.
@@christiancramp9192 please dm me
@@eldoradorail8891 will do
@@eldoradorail8891 can I DM on RUclips?
I dont want conan to stop in June😭😭😭😭, this show has made me his die hard fan in 6 days!
his show is ending ?
Wait what ????
He's leaving his nightly show and starting a new weekly show on HBO
@@GoggledAgog WHAT NO I NEED YT, I DON'T HAVE NEITHER A TV SCREEN OR COMPUTER ATM BUT I STILL NEED CONAN 😭😭😭
@@idalarsen2540 I don't know what the agreement with HBO will be, but Conan's been building up his Team Coco web presence for a long time, I would expect them to upload clips from the new show as they have with the old. Don't give up hope yet.
And even if they don't, somebody else will.
His sleight of hand is unreal. Even if you slow down the speed to .25x, you still can’t see him switch the aces with the queens on the second last trick.
@Colton Musselman after showing Conan the Ace, he puts it back into the deck. He didn’t switch after that?
@Colton Musselman wowww makes sense, thank you!
All he did was put a second card on top of the ace so when he flipped it over to show the card, he was flipping both of them, n when he flipped em back he put the card that was on top of the ace in conans hand. I noticed it when I first seen lmao I used to do the same trick
Aka doublelift
David: “Did you feel that?”
Conan: “I feel a tingling in my lower body.”
David Blaine's personality has not changed one bit over all these years. He's hilarious in such an odd way.
Hes definitely more smiley and giddy nowadays
Conan then: "We have time for one more? Let's do one more"
Conan nowadays: "We're out of time"
Stupid cable TV constricted him to 30 minutes.
"David Blaine's face went asleep because of his voice"
Underrated
copied
Makes no sense but ok
i remember that tweet
@@nishanthprabhakar do the quotation marks not serve as sufficient indication that it's not original? Or do you think they are quoting themselves plagiarising a remark?
I was gonna skip this video but the child in me from 1999 wanted to see some magic again. I been on a David Blaine binge tonight and I feel that sense of wonder again... that naive belief that anything is possible.
7:23 This is amazing how he changed the cards so quickly. You can see the deck split and the 7 of spades appears in the middle in a blink of an eye
At 7:15 you can see Andy written on ace of diamonds already slow it down
Wrong it's one of the ambitious card routine. It's like a magicians force card. You prepare the ace of diamonds just above the 7 of spades then riffle it until the ace of diamond is the most prominent one. Of course it's the last top part of the deck. Double lift the cards so the 7 of spades will be shown and put it back face down then hand over the top card which is the ace of diamond.
@@CuriousChronicles82275 Clap Clap ! Thank you for taking the time to explain to me a magic trick that I already know by heart and that I have already practiced
Man that double card pull is slick and putting Andys card in that spot was so hard to see…you can tell he paid so much attention to detail
His speed, deck control, and artistry are phenomenal.
everyone: **SCREAMING AND FREAKING OUT**
kid in sweater: "BUT WAIT, HOLD ON, LOOK LOOK, WAIT"
Awesome, back after an hour of watching David Blaine videos..appreciate it Conan!
David Blaine : "She wets her pants"
Audience : claps and screams
This just blew my mind. When he flicked the deck of cards, I said in my mind "Ace of Diamonds". Then I thought..."hmm... can this card trick work through time and work through the Internet?" Mind blown... Ace of freeking Diamond. WTF!!!
Dude has the same energy even now. Damnn 👀
How do you do that!? “ ..I don’t know.” Lol nice one Blaine
"I prayed to you to get this job." Under-appreciated joke!
I’d love to see Conan and David do more stuff together
p-hub theme plays
This interview aired before I was born and he still got me with the Ace of diamonds at the end !
Same
"I prayed to you for this job, remember?" Lmaoooo
This man's double lift is unmatched 🙌
Yeah I'm boggled by it. I also have no idea how he gets Andy's card to the top on the first trick.
@@thememaster7 He just prentended to put the card in the middle. But in reality you didn’t see him pushing the card in the middle and, instead, he pushed it under the first card. Then, he made a double lift.
He missed his first two doubles. He had to reset twice
The master of the double lift. Just amazing how good he is.
That's a joke right? He took 3 tries in the first 54 seconds.
Bro so many double lifts, he pretty much showcased these tricks on a big level, many magicians as well as myself have learned these basics from him.
Yes, although he stumbled a little on the triple lift.
Conan and David are a perfect personality match and it’s great 😂
They are good, but I like Conan and Bill burr more
I love in the beginning he tried twice to get a good grip on that double lift
"I prayed to you to get this job" lmao underrated joke
Conan didnt age, I mean just look at him right now!
It's well known he's had surgery
@@oldschoolundertaker No he didn't?
@@HOTD108_ Yes he did he even mentioned it on air
He and Dynamo (Stephen Frayne) are the most impressive magicians I've ever seen. Truly unbelievable stuff.
Daryl’s ambitious card. The crimp it’s all there. I had it on VHS 😂
David Blaine is a genius in the Sports Cards game.
Whenever he says "wait wait, watch", I always make sure to watch.
School system trained their puppets well.
i figured out the push of the ace of diamonds with conan. if you watch it multiple times you'll realize, near the end of the deck, he placed the signed eight of diamonds. i think he practiced the feel to stutter his flick of the top of the deck so the ace of diamonds shows a bit longer, and combined with the end a split second movement it pushes ace of diamonds on you. if you watch the flick multiple times you'll realize that your brain tries to read every card it sees in the flick, but its so fast you immediately forget the previous number to remember the next. having the ace at the end of the deck, and saying what he did before the flick to manipulate your way of thinking, culminates in i think a near 100% result of people seeing ace of diamonds. all the people watching at home paying attention probably saw ace of diamonds too, and it blew there minds guaranteed. its genius. I'm sure all of his acts are full of this level of thought and practice, but fuck me id love to know how he does all of it.
i looked closely again and i figured out the trick at 3:32 , he actually folds 2 cards, not only andy's card but also the card above it, so when he flips the cards, andy's card became the second card so he actually placed the 1st card in the middle of the deck and andy's card remained at the top.
Great. U figured it out after 20 years
@@sinanck7228 any problem?
Aaaah I got it now. Thanks for that amazing observation. He's the devil...lol
ruclips.net/video/ASdIohh0-_c/видео.html YT is your friend...
@@sinanck7228 why is your first reaction being negative?
His sleight of hand has gotten much better since then.
You mean it’s not magic?
@@Cabledeluz1977 it’s magic
He's the best magician out there!!! There's so many great magicians but no one better than him
Check out JS Magic... he's the new David Blaine of new York!
Shin Lim is VERY good too.
At 3:44 you can see that he has bent 2 cards. He places the other card in the middle of the deck while keeping the signed card pressed down on top so that it appears flat. At 3:49 you can see that the top card is actually bent and is held down by his thumb, middle and fourth finger. When is snaps his fingers he releases his grip and it appears as if the card has travelled up
I notice in this video you can actually see when he change the card but in his later years, he's gotten so good you can't even see it because he use more distraction
Almost everybody can perform a bunch of double lifts in a row. The key is a flawless presentation. Hats off to David Blaine.
Very late reply here but yeah it may be true that anyone can do a double lift, but I have never seen anyone make it look that natural and real
@@amiriqbal9487 Tons of magicians have a way better double lift, even if we leave out the part where he fumbled, dropped it, and had to pick it up again at the start. The way he turns over the card looks unnatural and differs from how he turns over a single card.
@@Bringadingus This example isnt the best but 2010-2019 DB's double lifts were insane.
I love how he's just practicing his pass
these tricks are mostly beginner stuff but the presentation shows how powerfull it can be.
stunning. I am speechless.
Fun fact, they used the exact font of Andys hand writing in the toy story films on woodies shoe!
That's not true
@@jeremysmith9694 shut up
Yes toy story
The wonders a simple double lift can do
simple? he has the best double lift in the game
Yea, or a double lip
yep hes so good at making tricks around that one move that some magicians refer to it now as the david blaine lift.
Feels like he's about to say :"How about another joke Murray?"
That was amazing I was laughing the whole time
He somehow slid that crimped card back onto the top and held down the bend ever so slightly by the side with his thumb and released it simultaneously with the snap, giving the illusion of it "popping" to the top as the bend reforms while his thumb casually adjusts to pressing the new top card.
Close, it never left the top. He was holding two cards when he did the bend. The second bent card was placed into the middle, leaving the Andy card on top. Concealed and revealed with his thumb, like you said.
@@GoggledAgog Yeah that makes complete sense, you can see him actually place the card into the middle and not take it out, so that had me stumped. Nice.
@@GoggledAgog oh nice! How do the others work?
@@Klautsche For the first one, he does a classic pass, (a move that secretly cuts the deck), or the herman pass, in a way where he brings up the selected card inbetween two 4 of spades, he then does a move called a double lift, flipping over 2 cards at once, which gives the illusion the selected cards on the top, (its not), he then gives Conan the "selected card", really one of the duplicate 4 of spades, and does another double lift, making it seem as if he has the 4 of spades on top, (but the selected card is) magically, the cards "switch". For the next trick he does a move called the marlo tilt, making it seem as if hes putting the deck into the middle of the deck but really its being placed second from the top. He does another double lift, making it seem as if the second from the top card, (the selected card was) on the top. After that he bends both cards, (it looks like one), and the other guy already explained it. I havent watched the rest of the vid, but im pretty confident that if its a card trick with no gimmicks id figure it out
@@kulserz6747 makes sense! Thanks :D
Much respect for David Blaine
its a mix between trick decks and just insanely quick hands and misdirection its pretty amazing takes a ton of skill to do what hes doing without anyone seeing it. the crimped card for example.. he actually crimps 2 cards and slides the correct one to the top while holding it flat and sandwiching the others and when he snaps his fingers he just eases his grip and the top crimped hard pops up lol
hes essentially combining a lot of basic card tricks together, masterfully, his sleight of hand saves him. but if you know anything about magic, early in the clip he is nervous and actually flashes his sleight of hand. big stage but he pulled it off
IE: early on youcan see him low key trying to do a "2 card pick" which is what he bases a lot of his tricks on. hes picking 2 cards off the top and bending them strategically. (top card he shows then turns over to its backside) next he shows you the actual top card, hes lining up 2 cards basically. other parts of the trick are smoke and mirrors which he alternates
It's frustrating that I do magic and know what he's doing but there isn't a chance in hell that I could ever do that.
His skills are mind boggling.
"How do you do that?"
"....i dont know"
More magicians need this vibe lmao
His double lifts are perfect
The best thing about this is it’s the same trick. His double lift skills are amazing
😀 exactly
I watched this guy stab himself in the arm. It wasn't a trick, he's just commited.
I can do that. I can chop my hand off. Ta-da! Magic
Also the projectile vomiting water and fish after drinking it, insane!
Ace of diamond is probably the only card that David lingered a bit to show to the audience.
So you're telling me there's no such thing as magic ????????
When he flicked though then I also saw it and remembered it like Andy did so I think there was something fishy about it
Alex yea its a magic trick duh lol
David has improved so much since then
After some hard searching I finally worked out hiw he does it all ..... HOWEVER the smoothness and technique and the double lifting and even putting the card back in the middle even though it was 2nd down from the top is absolutely Incredable the crimp involves both hands dramatically ,,, quality slight of hand,, love how he bends back the ace to straighten the card again to show it 1 more time at the end that 2 mins of trickery is gona take hours maybe months of practice ,,, David is a master of his craft x
That’s not how he does it lol, keep guessing bro lol
@@fergassnig I'm only on about a certain part of the trick n yes I have sussednit cos I can do it all just very poorly lol need to tighten the screws but ok whatever makes ya happy dude
@@rickemsley7255 I meant no disrespect, lol I only meant he has his own ways of magic if you know what I mean lol
Even though I know how he does all these tricks, he still amazes me with his smooth and fast hands 👏.
You know the one at 3:50?
@@smallgoon when he appears to be bending the Ace, he really bends two cards at once (the second card is below the Ace when the Ace is shown face-up.) The second bent card is actually on top of the deck once he flips over the Ace - this second card is the card he puts into the center of the deck. Meanwhile, can see him hold the crimped Ace flat with his index finger (and then with his thumbs, which are right in the center of the deck.) He then loosens his grip with his thumbs, allowing the crimped Ace at the top to pop up.
@@smallgoon it's called double lift, and someone have already written the details.
David Blaine in all his videos - "Immana teach it, Immana teach it to you"
you cant fool me whit crad tricks but damn he has amzing finger skills! thats YEARS of work
The way he sells his DL's is just so good.
That guy at 3:30 💀💀 “god damn it”
David has changed so much since his daughter was born !
Andy is such a natural comic
That double lift trick still amaze most of the people
TRICK REVEAL OF THE TRICK WITH ANDY at 2:26 (watch 0.25 speed)
2:31
Andy draws his card.
2:35
Andy puts his card on the deck. Andy's card is now stuck with the back side on the lower card, which has a backside printed on both sides (or David uses just a flipped card with a non flipped card between it and Andy' Card, but for the easier explanation of the trick mechanism here I use the method of a double backside printed card). Andy now writes his name on his card.
2:47
David now takes Andy's card with the double backside card sticking to the back of Andy's card from the deck and shows it to the audience.
2:52
David now quickly and secretly slides Andy's card underneath the first card on the deck using the double backside card on top of Andy's card as a visual cover.
2:54
David now has only the double backside card in his hand and puts it into the middle of the deck.
2:58
David now reveals Andy's card, which is sticking to the top card of the deck, and reveals both cards under the impression that it is one card. First trick succeeded.
3:01
David puts Andy's card back on the deck with the other card stuck to the back of Andy's card.
3:03
David now takes only the card sticking to the back of Andy's card from the deck. So Andy's card is now the top card of the deck.
3:05
David now puts the card that was previously sticking to the back of Andy's card in the middle of the deck, under the impression that it is Andy's card.
3:11
David lets Andy reveal his own card from the top of the deck. The second trick succeeds.
I think the third and fourth tricks are self-explanatory with the knowledge of the method of taking two cards or more.
You shouldn't have to reveal it.
@@visagedelenny. In what sense?
David's deck control is crazy - he knows the average human reaction is 170-250 ms and that just somehow happens to be where the ace of diamonds was about 180 ms
Ikr 😱
I saw the ace of diamonds too, that's such an awesome trick!
at 3:33 he bends 2 cards, then pulls the decoy into the middle of the deck but holds the ace so the bend isn't visible. this is the only time i've ever caught his slight of hand
