- One of my favorite scenes in the show thus far and one of Quentin's best moments. I can proudly say he was a bad-ass here. Cool, calm, collected. Alice's face on the Queen of Hearts is what really sold it.
#TheMagicians #QuentinColdwater
ALICE on the playing card
That part gave me life 💖
I think he cast a spell on that card so that it can't be affected by any magic. Because why make that card why make that car so special. Because Alice is special to him.
@@dealinginfiction That was pretty much it. He sucked all the magic from the room like a vaccum and enchanted his final card to score the win. Not only does he miss Alice, but this scene happened in the final book of the series (albeit differently.)
@@dealinginfiction I don't think he cast a spell on the card. I think he just had a card in is sock?
Just like in the books
the rest might be better kings or queens, or travellers, or better fighters, or better at magic, or gods, but lets not forget that, out of the entire main cast, Quentin is the only one who is an actual Magician, and this scene shows that perfectly.
True but the spell on the board game in the first season shows Q was one of the most powerful of the students the others were just introduced earlier he’s new and was able to make a black hole a spell Alice wasn’t even sure about
@@Clipper0277Yeah alice is the most knowledgeable due to coming from a magician family, not necessarily most powerful.
I just started reading the book recently, and in the book, Josh actually made the black hole! Everyone was drunk asf and he was like, "LOOK WHAT I DID!!" and they were all terrified
@@Iblamethebarrels Yup, in the books it's said that Josh's magic is really inconsistent. Sometimes he can barely do magic at all, and other times his spells come out incredibly powerful for seemingly no reason
@@Waywoah This is spot on. I just finished the books and all of his magic is absurdly weak unless he obsesses over learning the spell for weeks on end or doesn’t even try. Like with the telekinesis marbles.
When remembering Q's magical journey started with actual sleight of hand magic, one can realize why his specialty turns out to be minor-mendings. He's the most gifted when it comes to physical manipulations in a small scale, just like one does when performing sleight of hand magic.
makes you wonder where he could have taken his gift in the future if he started to master it
@@WardNightstone my theory a professor at brakebills to help others like him and he loves magic with all his heart anyway
@@Babbling_Wizard in the book he actually is a professor for a while.
@@bip321boom Probably one of my favorite parts of that book was when we got to see the perspective of the students and they were kind of blown away because he had all this knowledge of magic from Fillory.
@@amazingmetapanda8166 As far as i can remember, he doesnt tell any students about Fillory. Its only after he's been kicked out and has played Push that he tells Pear.
Q using street magic to beat a magician LOVE IT
YES LOVE IT QUENTIN SHOWING OFF HIS SKILLS LIKE A BOSS
Likaaaa booooos 😂😂😁
I loved this scene because TV Quentin finally got a moment to shine. Usually everyone else oneups him. S3 had a few good moments, but it was more of moral booster or lore keeper sort of thing, whereas everyone else was showing actual skills.
In an interview over the summer, Jason mentioned how Quentin was going to come back with the wisdom of 100 years as he spent in Fillory Past, something like that. Basically saying he was going to appear much more grown up.
@@TheMagiciansLoveX Yes but sadly he didn't appear to be more badass. Just ..grown up and well he wasn't exactly childish before so that didn't change much in my opinion. I really liked that he had a scene where he looked really skilled in something. The others tend to outshine him when it comes to skills.
@@ducklingscap897 yeah Quentin, went through a whole arc about questioning him self, being insecure and unconfident it was nice and very much needed to see Quentin feeling confident and contributing.
This scene and the scene with Margo telling Quentin;
"Margo Hanson : There's this thing about you, Q. You actually believe in magic.
Quentin Coldwater : So does everyone.
Margo Hanson : No. We all knows it's real, but you believe in it. And you just love it, pure and simple."
(In my view) shows how Quentin was the only true "Magician" on the show, the rest of them were just powerful magic users, travellers, or gods.
it's why she called him Harry potter in the conversation
This show had so much potential to really delve into the dark side of people and the absolutely awe inspiring/terrible things these magicians can do. Yet they went the route of haha friendship then killed the main character while splashing in some more serious things like Margo losing an eye and Eliot dying. There's literally two (If not more, I didn't even watch the last season) musical episodes where they literally just start singing.
That last bit, Penny is proud as punch.
Quentin: "I won't lose"
Penny: "But you're a loser"
One of the coolest episodes, love that their returning to the real world. Q the card master doing what he's a god at
Alice's face on the Queen... Wow I missed that during the episode
Also also card flicking is a thing Jason Ralph did on set to annoy the others so writing it in is great
I think card flicking was already in the books.
@@FirebloodDamian there were tricks , but the flicking was something Ralph did on purpose to mess with the others, apparently he's actually really good at it irl
How do you beat a better Magaician?
Don't use magic to win
lmao Q is my boi!!!
It's not for nothing that the best episode of the magicians was one without any magic.
I love how everyone is gearing up to kill the beast in season one or two and Margo just gets a revolver
This is Quentin’s strength. This is where he is most powerful. One-on-one, sleight of hand magic.
This reminds me a bit of "Now You See Me" moment. "The first rule of magic-- always be the smartest guy in the room!" XD That's Q hands-down
I absolutely love how word for word the book and the show are in this scene
The game of Push is the one (1) time Quentin Coldwater has ever radiated top energy
He still finna get this D lmao
hands down one of my favourite scenes from the show
up there with the conversation from last season
I went absolutely crazy, they said a lot of 3rd book inspiration for this season, and this was an awesome rendition of the beginning of the 3rd book. This plus the Raven being there made me so gosh dang happy. Show continues to impress always improving.
Love when they blindside us with small out of order Easter eggs from the books. Couldn't wait to see Push in the show after I read the test chapter.
I liked the misdirect at the end oldest magician strategy in the book.
The "Rules of Poker" card was great. "Give me whatever you want, I know one worse than that."
Sucha cool scene, Quintin did his thing!
I'd lose this particular game in like 1 second
Well, you would have to master probability spells before and then be smart enough to beat magicians who have been practicing magic for decades and have played this game for all their life. Pretty difficult indeed.
0:27 I love that part. Hears he’s a loser, instantly takes the deal.
This was one of my favorite moments from the book I'm actually so glad that they put it in. Now that they have the coins and we've seen the bird I'm just hoping that they work in the briefcase heist.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was the heist itself but I hope so!
@@TheMagiciansLoveX yea, now that I think of it they made the God killing weapon last season and Rupert's journal kinda got replaced in season 1 so I doubt they have a reason to go on the heist but it would still be cool.
@@otb17166 I really thought Plum was going to be introduced this season. I figured Julia's glamour would be her in the classroom especially since Brian was a professor.
This was such a great scene! I loved seeing Q have the upper hand 😏
For those of you who don't know. Bobby Darin was the guy who wrote and sang, Splish Splash, and Beyond the Sea. So how the hell did those cuff links kill him? If you read his bio on Wikipedia and the events that led up to his death, I think it is safe to say that those cuff links are bad luck, like really bad.
Thanks for explaining! I honestly had no idea who he was.
Which is actually really funny considering the ending portion of this episode lol.
@@TheMagiciansLoveXI'm guessing one of the doctors that operated on him was a magician who wore those cufflinks (at a guess they Abzorb bad luck but need to be periodically discharged) would ensure your surgeries always went well but if he hadn't discharged them recently or forgot well
his song, “Dream lover” and the Alice reference with the queen of hearts ?
Ralph played this scene so well. Even the way the director captures the different shots of his face and his opponents!
when i saw this i was screaming 'cause i instantly remember this scene from the third book
This is why I love this show
like a boss
Penny's satisfied glance >> everything
"Q" won the game. 😉
I never noticed Alice was on the Queen the first time I watched this
The ocean eleven/ white collar episode of magician. This is the best quentin - smooth and smart
This is one of my favorite scenes from this season so far!
Its nice how they incorporate a game that you would think that people who don't have magic would only play. Like how harry potter books and films had their own games that were original but this incorporates normal nonmagic things into the show.
Quentin could be a dork and a sci-fi nerd most of the time, but he had his moments of ice cold awesomeness.
Don't mess with the Q.
I love how even when he had a chance to bring a King. He still allowed some fairness by using a queen. Ik it's also because of Alice's face but I like to read it as him giving his opponent some fair play
Seriously freakin' love this show, I will watch it again and again and again.
This is what I wanted to see from Quentin. Finally, Quentin gets to shine without any self-loathing or doubt.
This scene is great, better than described in the book which is rare in a tv show based on a book series. The bird in the background should have spoken tho...
Do book readers know who/what the "monster" ist that occupies Eliots body? No spoilers please. I am just curious how close the series is to the books because season 1 and 2 were not that close according to comments and they said they wanted to make it closer to the books.
I am still afraid to read the books because everyone says the show is better and I don't want to ruin the story for me.
@@ducklingscap897 there wasn't a monster in the castle in the book series, they added that to spice up the tv show I guess and it worked lol
Who said they wanted it to be closer to the book version? The last interview I saw with Sera, she said it was "based on", and the books did provide some plots we might see develop but my impression was it was not going to be closely affiliated with the books, including book 3. Did I miss something?
@@lilymcallister9751 you didnt
@@lilymcallister9751 No I don't thinks so. i read it in an article and kinda interpreted it wrong.
There is “so much” of Book 3 in the upcoming Season 4, he explains, and also in Season 5-because, as McNamara sees it, Grossman “brought everything to a chiseled, smashing completion. I’m really happy that we may be doing more of a strict adaptation this [next] year than ever before.”
I thought this means they stick closer to the book but I couldn't find another source saying that soo I guess it was wrong. Article: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/04/the-magicians-season-3-finale-showrunner-interview-twist-lost-doctor-who
So that's how Kakegurui would look like if it were played for magicians
YUP
The Magicians Land. Awesome that they showed that, I love that scene. Yes.. I waited for 9 months to comment, I've made it pretty clear on insta, how upset I still am lol. Thank you for the videos! You're badass no matter what. Love always, Tauney 🖤🥀❤😊
I want this game to actually exist
I want magic to actually exist
Still one of my favorite scenes in the show.
I like that the reviews just glossed over this when it was still kind of a big thing in the third book
But i still kinda want to see plum maybe as a cameo or something like that, would be fun
Definitely. Maybe she'll replace Quentin in the fifth season
it's good to see every extreme perspective
this was my favorite part in the books. and it's hereee
Thank you for the video! All of you friends are super awesome!
Nothing beats the card in the sock...
BOOK 3!!!😁
BTW I'm so going to try and make a non-magicians version for the game
Quentin was killed cause he was the MVP. Smarter and clever than anyone in the group🔥🔥🔥
I'm so proud of quentin!!
it's one of my favorite slogans i say every day
This was a great scene from the books
aww thats our boy
This was so cool to watch
this is observation and learning
such a wide range of available perspectives lol
That was a genuinely fucking clever ending!
BEST SCENE
Yeah I ended up buying the season on playstation video for 30 dollars I get to see the episodes a day after they air.
My man. I get them on Amazon 5 hours after they air. Thank you for supporting the show! 🙌
Just in America?
@@TheMagiciansLoveX yeah no problem I still love your channel because this is great what your doing for people who dont have cable and love magicians
The Magicians Love wait, it's on Amazon. .prime?
@@Regmuslima Yes, for about $25. There are many places to purchase episodes.
He was so cool in these scene
I love how Penny turns around like who the fuck else is here. Also I never realized that was Whitley
nice and simple
In the books Quentin was not average skilled he was top ten of his class.
very cautious and safe
looks good lets go
Does anyone know if there's an OST (or several) for the background music?
Would love to listen to this music while working!
from way over here to way over there
Show off 😂 I love him
We need Q back!!!
it's where we all end up eventually
he leaves no trace
obedience is fine for most people
i changed my mind about everything
Wait, so in this game, each player has only one spell to cast before showing their cards right?
i'm 100% certain this is a god damn dream
it's like he's right behind me again
love
we all end up there eventually
reality is just a dream with an asterisk
this century on the discovery channel
obedience is exhausting
i vented it away
3:11 Does anyone know if this is an effect or is he really doing that? I assume an effect but you never know.
I can't say for certain whether it is an effect. It's very feasible that it is not an effect. People are able to shoot cards off a deck the way Quentin is and the way the card flies is realistic for that technique. The amount of quick cuts in the scene can mask the actor does not have to make it consistently. I would imagine Jason Ralph was already good/had training in card manipulation, so there is a good case for it not being an effect, but it's entirely possible it is one.
I didnt realize that was Lionel from Book 3 until just now.
this whole day has been weird
the butler of goblets
very few words like love get sanctified
every extreme gets visited by everyone
from always to never
attendants to the gods
he loses every single argument
when i find out it's not a dream i'm going to be so fucking embarrasssed
You know, I thought the Push, was the Matchbox 20 song.
i'm over-self-conscious
a very ambitious butler
5 unique suits
so determined
