I REMEMBER THIS!!! Before this bit, Dole was giving Conan one of the meanest, funniest, George W Bush BASHING interviews I've ever seen! I remember Conan saying to Bob D "this interview is going so different from what I was expecting". I gotta find it and see it again now!
It's amazing to see his growth in 26+ years. He looked nervous and kind of stiff with his sleight of hand stuff, compared to now where he's so confident and fluid. All these years have refined him to be one of the best magicians and entertainers in history.
It would’ve been funny if the force failed (as they sometime do) and he was forced to improvise, leaving a card permanently in Conan’s suit jacket for the rest of time
Even I caught the "one .. two .. three ... four ... five" ... Eh, no. It was four, and when he said "five", he just flicked the side of the card again. There was only 4 cards. That was just dumb.
This one is pretty easy, they had someone on his team put the card in his jacket before the show. While asking him to pick one he literally forced him to pick the one he wanted. They never signed the card so the pocket one is different deck from the one Conan picked. When he was handing the “5” cards he only gave 4 and he put his hand on the remaining deck which is on the table. He puts that extra card in middle of the deck, you can see the deck is moved after he touches it. Rest is just illusion of shuffling sideways showing it’s 5 cards instead it was always 4 when he gave it to him. He has come long way since this trick.
He blatantly showed Conan his card Conan then named on the pile on the table, not the pile in his hand. There's 2 of the same card. A child could figure this out.
The card was sewn into the jacket in advance. The card conan picked was a force, and the deck probably had a bunch of that card also. When he counted out the 5 cards he counted one of them twice. David Blaine had some good tricks, this was not one of them.
The biggest surprise was that the previous guest was Bob Dole lmao

I was wrong! It must've been from around 2000-2001
I didn’t know David was already famous in 97. I only started watching him in the early 2000s
He had some dumb special on like NBC that showed him floating in the air, but it was just camera tricks
Conan: "This is the tip of the iceberg"
Blaine: Hmm.... What if I lived inside an iceberg....

David literally pointed at the card he wanted conan to pick

David Blaine is very special and talented. I just love Conan O'Brien.
Now I need to watch Norm do Bob Dole
RIP both legends.
That Dole joke was fire!
Find his whole interview segment from this show! It was freaking hilarious. He basically bashed the shit out of George W. for the entire bit!
I was wrong. It must've been from around 2001.
Bob Dole made a suprising appearance:d
The card in the jacket was different. The color was a bit faded compared to the one Conan initially showed.
There arnt 5 cards when he counts then. You can see him slide a card that was already counted and count it again. No idea how he does it though.
It's not magic it's an illusion, Michael.
It’s not a trick… It’s an illusion, Michael.
-Hang on a sec, that's part of your trick, right?
-No, that's not my trick, Michael...
IT'S MY ILLUSION

Bro Conan literally showed Blaine the card when he was putting it back in the deck lol. Gotta do better than that
He blatantly showed Conan his card Conan then named on the pile on the table, not the pile in his hand. There's 2 of the same card. A child could figure this out.
Wow you’re a lot of fun lol. I’m obviously joking but how’d he get the card into Conan’s jacket then? I’m not trying to start an argument btw lol.
Incorrect title: "Conan helps lie to the audience and complete a fake ass illusion by a fake ass illusionist".
Did you expect actual magic?
@@thrashwerk LMAO True, jim is probably having a bad day :D
That sucked! no way

He's much better now
