I saw this dude at The NoMad and as great as this is, it's nothing compared to some of the other stuff he pulls off. If you are in NYC and have a chance you gotta go. It's expensive but it's worth it. Something my family and I will never forget.
This trick is really easy to explain. When Dan White places QuestLove's cell phone into the box, he then calls upon the power of Ancistroides Nigrita, a chocolate butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae, to move the cell phone from the box into the yarn and then summons and leaves behind a chocolate bar instead. People are so stupid to be fooled by this!
yeah if you look closely at 2:07 you can see the invisible spirit of Nigrita exploding into the Golden Realm of Existence and beyond the Silken Veil of Illusion via his back pocket.
Its not that, its just that the trick is extremely easy to do. Its not complicated, no slight of hand or anything. Just needs some prior set up and some good acting.
Brandon Buccella Magicians do tricks, they are all show. This being a show, he worked out a trick with Jimmy and Quest before hand. I don't see the problem. The people were entertained, that's the key. Honestly, I enjoy watching to see if I can figure out how its done but most video magic is done this way and its boring. That doesn't mean other can't enjoy it and I see no real need to point it out to people. If they didn't figure it out, that means they enjoyed it.
yes, but this one was painfully simple and not at all misleading. I love magic shows and think that when done cleverly, can be mesmerizing. This was just not one of those tricks. Theres no wow factor, its "oh, they just pre wrapped his phone and gave him a fake one" theres no misdirection and relies purely on willingness and acting ability. I have seen better magic acts on AGT (America's Got Talent)
Well they weren't feeling what we saw. They reached into a different compartment with something different. For jimmy it was a small spoon, for Quest it was probably like a rubber toy animal, like a turtle or a coiled snake or something.
@@FoxyDrew He took his phone without him noticing and replaced it with a dummy phone before the trick started and formed the yarn around it. The phone quest thought he had wasn't really his phone the whole time. It's honestly a common trick for magicians to do, I wasn't impressed by any of this at all.
***REVEALED*** Quests’s phone has been pickpocketed before the trick and a similar phone that has a similar phone case was inside his pocket. Meanwhile His actual phone was wrapped inside that wool ball before the trick.when the actual trick is commencing he didnt unlocked the phone or didnt check whether its his phone and gives the phone to Dan .. all the whats inside the box tricks were distractions to make sure Quest doesnt turn his phone on.... jimmy’s trick was only a little mind trick.
Or, he knew what kind of phone and case Quest had, he wrapped a similar one up in yarn. Then he switches them out before he hands it to Quest? That was my initial thought
Oh, man, that chocolate bar thing really made me laugh my ass off. Well played, Dan. Well played. This guy is really good. The initial part didn’t go quite as he planned, but he rolled with it. It happens to the best of us. And that ending was killer.
I read Dana White at first and I was wondering how on earth that guy could have gone from the UFC to doing magic tricks...........it would have been nice.....sure would have made him more likeable lol.
Before the show started Dan switched Questloves phone with one that looks just like his without him knowing. He then put the real phone in the ball of yarn. Then he hid the fake one, and made it seem like he teleported his real phone inside the ball of yarn... great illusion!
I agree that’s the only common sense explanation, but It seems like a huge amount of risk and work. I suppose you can know in advance what kind of phone and case questlove has, but what if he tries to use it after the switch but before the illusion? So the switch probably happened just before they went on air, most likely by a trusted band member or producer. On the other hand, he unlocked “his” phone, which adds another layer of complexity. I don’t know…?
The other part that’s interesting, I’m not sure if Jimmy Fallon cut in too soon, but what happened to the photo that Quest took? Seems like that should’ve been part of the act?

Quest is in on the trick, the trick is basically for us and Jimmy. The phone he gave him was a fake, because he took out his phone to fast when he asked him for it.
He actually looks at both of the original items. Watch closely. First he looks to the yarn, then he looks to the ladle. I think it’s reasonable and normal for someone who is confused to look at other things that were involved in the confusion.
you nailed it. They always do this crap on Fallon and Jimmy has awful tells that he knows what is coming and Quest had an obvious tell for that one. These kind of tricks are BS
What is annoying are all the troll comments on RUclips! White is a great magician and a great person. All the jealous magicians and hacks hating in Jimmy, Dan, and Quest are ridiculous!
Anybody else notice they don’t seem to reach down very far for the first couple objects? I think there’s some sort of trick shelves in there that he pulls out as he lifts the front cover
yea that part isn't hard to figure out. They only reach half way down, so its obviously a trick box that has the objects they feel in the top part, and the objects revealed in the bottom. You can see him when he lifts the front cover to reveal them he has his hand/thumb on the back side panel pushing in the hidden shelf/object as hes lifting the front cover. First on the right side (you looking) and then with the yarn, on the left side (sliding up his hand). He's pushing in the hidden side compartments at that point. The part with the phone. The ONLY way that could be done was if Quest was in the trick, OR he was told ahead of time he would need to have his phone for the trick. Otherwise, the trick wouldn't work if Quest didn't have his phone on him. What if quest didn't have a phone on him, the trick would have failed right there when he ASKED for the phone. The phone is thin enough to be pushed into the hidden side panels where the other spoon/rubber spider were hid. So he was either in on the trick and had "his" phone handy, or he was told he would need to give his phone for the trick and was ready with his phone. Otherwise, tap Quest on the shoulder, give the "phone" hand signal, Quest doesn't have a phone on him.. fail trick.
First, Quest goes to his pocket *_VERY_* quickly when asked for the phone. Second, what if Quest didn't have his phone on him at the time? Third, Quest's reaction could be authentic if his cell had been switched before the show by someone of confidence - it would have been most likely after Quest had silenced his phone in order to start the show taping. Or, Quest was in on the whole thing (which could tie back into #1). Quest's very quick hand movement to his phone upon the silent request was almost as if he was anticipating the question.
noL1Fe - Look at the amount of time between when Dan actually makes the cell phone gesture and when Questlove begins to grab for his phone. It is a wee bit too fast for something that should have been that unexpected.
The only thing I can think is that there is a double of Questlove's phone. Like Questlove doesn't know that there is a double or how this trick was done. But I think there was some discussion with him before hand about the phone where Dan could have gotten ahead of this. And I only think that because the way Questlove typically reacts and questions what he is being asked to do, but when Dan asked for the phone, there was no hesitation. Like Questlove was just like "Okay this is the part where he uses my phone, like we talked about." Although I don't think Questlove knew what was going to be done with it or how. The box is clearly gimmicked. And sure Dan's hands aren't clean. But that Yarn was far away before he got the phone, it was in full audience view, and the unraveling of the yarn seemed pretty legitimate. So I'm not sure how else it could be done without a double and that he was given the double to hold beforehand without realizing it. The real phone was in the yarn the whole time.
It is for sure not his real phone in his pocket. It is pretty easy to know that cause his phone cannot warp to the yarn right. The yarn was already on the table when he gave his fake phone to him. People get the illusion that thse magicians are really wizards sometimes, but there is always a trick/explanation :)
If that was questloves phone then it must have been in the yarn before the act started which means either A he was in on it or B he was pickpocketed amd they switched it with a similar phone. B is risky but the payoff for success is much greater
Ryan Hatton ... B is not risky at all if the phone is lifted at the proper time, such as right before he went out for the night’s show. An identical phone, maybe even with an identical start screen pic, would then be replaced into his pocket. But sometimes people ARE in on it. Ratings. This is entertainment.
At 4:52, notice that the ball of yarn is on a white platform, where the chocolate bar is inside. That platform wasn't there at the beginning of the trick.
It’s TV magic. Different from real street magic. Most of this stuff is generally set up for the camera because the show is all for the live audience and the viewers, not the subjects being used for the trick. The phone was already in the yarn before hand and the one he gave was just a fake - he never showed the screen, only the back!
Max The bar not being in w the ladle is ok. We never see him put any items in, not even the phone. He just took one from Quest. Quest doesn't verify the phone's his when he gives it 2 the guy. Not that you'd care but it's my 1st time figuring out a magic trick.
Starting at 5:11, if he’s putting something in the box that “everyone can see” why is he hiding the fact that he’s now going back into the box for something while he’s talking? He wants us to BELIEVE he’s putting away the little platform the ball of yarn was sitting on, but in fact, he’s placing the chocolate bar into the bottom of the box. Then, at 5:45, when he reaches down to place the cell phone into the box, he CLEARLY isn’t placing it at the bottom - his hand stops on the middle of the box - there is some sort of trick shelf there with a deck of wrapped cards. Also, that’s not Quest’s cell phone he pulls out of his pocket. That’s an imposter, and either QL is in on the trick, and he’s aware, of his cell phone was taken before the segment and wrapped in the ball of yarn ahead of time without his knowledge.
it was half setup they did a rehearsal where quest gave up his phone one time and thats when they switched it thats why quest knew to give up his phone right away but didnt know it had been switched
"They were in on it" LOL literally everyone's comment on any magic trick ever. Will people ever think of something more original than just "that guy was in on it"?
First, it isn't "literally" everyone's comment, because some people have other hypotheses. 2nd: If someone was in on it, then why would originality be relevant? If someone was in on it, and I came up with something "original," then I'd be wrong. Unless you know how it's done, or can prove no one is in on it, then you can't rule it out. This is basic logic.
'' Oh it can't be real, they obviously are lying and the phone was already in it the whole time''. Come on people, don't you think it's more difficult than that ? I used to do magic tricks and I'm sure there is a real explanation, Questlove's reaction seems genuine to me. Just admit you don't know and you have been fooled, let yourself believe it's magic (even if we know there is something underneath it ^^)
Gabriels the joys of being terribly fooled. Anyone can type behind a screen that it's fake until they witness magic in person and understand the power of it
oh god.. I really love magic tricks, the thing is that this is a poor one. 6 minutes of fucking nothing and after the final trick sucks. I've seen his magics before, it was great !But this one its pure shit. Whats the difficult to admit that?
Gabriels he pickpocketed quests phone earlier and replaced it with a replica. Same case, same background etc. The first phone quest gave him wasn’t actually his phone though he thought it was. He knew what quests phone looked like because like they admitted at the beginning.... they know eachother from before
Guys, can you all please just respect him? Even if he's not David Blaine or Shin Lim, he's still an amazing magician. Comparing magicians doesn't make one better than the other, it just makes it unfair for the amount of practice and work we put in. I just hope we all start praising and reinforcing positively instead of hating as if you could perform it better than he does. He's a great magician, just like Blaine and Shin Lim. Just different styles. Love it or hate it, there's a reason why Jimmy brings him to his Tonight Show.
✨ How the phone trick works: Before Dan puts “quests phone” inside the box he opens the chest under the table, takes something out of the white box, and puts it in the chest. If you look back to 4:50 you’ll see that under the ball of yarn there’s a little white platform. That’s what he takes out and puts in the chest. It’s not there when he reveals the chocolate. But it’s not just a platform, it’s a box containing the chocolate bar. When he’s putting the “phone” in the box he’s actually hiding it, probably in a secret compartment, and the chocolate bar is already there. The phone inside the ball of yarn is a dupe of quests phone. It’s easy for someone who works for the show to copy his wallpaper and get the same phone case to make the phone appear to be his. He never unlocked the phone to verify any further than the lock screen.
If no one let him know this act was rubbish then he would go on probably performing it all over the country and will get laughed at by his audiences and booed, they will probably want their money back, his agent will not book him any more shows, he'll end up broke and on the streets living out of a cardboard box turning card tricks for food vouchers.. So really we're doing him a favor !
Any viable explanation for this trick, true or not, is more than just difficult to pull off. If this trick is considered bad, I'd like to know what you deem as "good".
yeah i would say there was two phones...one already in the yarn and one that went in the box...no amount of magic in the world is gonna teleport a phone inside a ball of yarn...
This magic trick partly failed. Jimmy was supposed to say chocolate bar and then magician can say "...but What if we turn your imagination into reality" 7:04
Yea, like this is amazing if you dont believe QL is in on it. But like, its kinda obvious. They also didnt verify it was his phone when he gave it to him.
It's such a cool trick! I'm always fascinated, and have loads of fun trying to unpack the trick just by observing and deducing. So far what I got, but could be wrong: With the ladle trick, you can see Jimmy's hand didn't go all the way to the bottom where the ladle was, but only midway. There was probably a pop-up platform midway with a teaspoon on it. You can see when Dan was placing the ball of yarn into the box, he was also adjusting the middle of the box, as if there's a platform there. Probably why Questlove also felt the rubber crab/duck - it was on the midway platform because his hand also didn't go all the way to the bottom of the box. Where did these things go? Into the side of the box along with the midway platform. That's why these items are all thing and malleable and can fit into the slim sides of the box. Also, when he was setting up the third trick and pretended to remove the flat box the yarn was on, he was really just removing the outer box and the chocolate bar was always inside that flat box. And when he put Questlove's phone in the box, notice how he places it to his left of the box and then moves his left hand as if to close a trap there. I believe his phone was in the side of the box, leaving only the chocolate bar in there. How the phone got into the yarn I have no idea! Comparing the position of the yarn when Questlove placed the yarn on the other table, and the position of the yarn when Questlove went to retrieve the yarn, it seemed like nothing changed. The only thing I can think of is what some others here have mentioned: his phone was swapped out before the show started without his knowledge.
9:10 I believe that's where the trick actually takes place where Dan somehow quickly switches the identical phone inside the yarn with Quest Love's actual phone
Idk you can see the screen wake up while it’s still in the yarn, and your time stamp doesn’t show him reaching near pockets or anything but the camera does cut away, I think you’re on the right path
I'm still not 100% sure how he does the full trick, but here is what I noticed. Before i explain what he does, notice @ 2:19 that the box has an inner wall that makes the whole box now a bit thicker. Within the outer and inner wall, things can be stored and somehow he pulls down another section. Here is why i think this: if you go back when he puts in the first object, watch his left hand. He puts in the big spoon with his right hand and pulls something with his left thumb. Now, if you carefully watch Jimmy put in his arm, you notice that he doesn't go all the way in. That's because the height was minimized when Dan did whatever he did with his left thumb. So then right before Dan reveals the big spoon, he once again swipes something up with his left thumb. First trick explained. Next he puts in a ball of yarn with a white box under it (with a chocolate inside). After he reveals the yarn, takes it out, and covers the box again, notice he leaves the white box in there and soon after pulls something out and places it in his briefcase, uncovering the chocolate. So now Dan tries to manipulate Jimmy but fails as Jimmy guesses a deck of cards, but Dan goes along. HERE IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING. When Dan puts the phone inside the box NOTICE that he doesn't place it at the bottom of the box, in fact he places it somewhere midway (same section as first trick?) and closes something. NOW WHEN JIMMY PUTS IN HIS HAND TO FEEL WHATS INSIDE HE HAS TO GO WAAAAAY DEEPER THAN THE FIRST TIME, because the height is now the full height. The only thing I have no idea about, is how he put the phone in the yarn, but here are two theories. Magicians have to do a lot of practicing and a lot of studying, so its normal that magicians study people who are on the show and objects they have (like a cellphone), so either somehow Dan got a hold of Questlove's phone before the show and swapped it with an identical phone, with an identical case, with identical cracks on the screen, and the same wallpaper OR swapped the fake phone with his actual phone after the show.
isn't a crack. I thought it was also at first but after watching it a couple times, its just left over yarn threads that were caught on the phone case as the yarn was removed. Just some loose yarn thread leftover.
I know and watch a lot of magic. The only explanation I can come up with, is before the trick, Dan got Quest's cell phone and replaced it with a dummy. The rest is easy from there. You wrap the real cellphone in the yarn before the trick and get rid of the dummy once Quest hands it to you.
I absolutely love Quest's reactions every time he participates in magic tricks! He's so genuine!
Questlove always looks so hurt and betrayed by every magician on the show. Lmao
Duh... He's black.... Lol... The hood has a love hate relationship with magic...
I wonder if Questlove would feel more awestruck or betrayed if he was the participant for card mechanic Richard Turner’s performance.
Jimmy manages to turn every episode into some fraction of the birthday party he always wanted as a kid.. but never got to have.
hehe xD
Hang on brb I got a new message
perceptive!
Man, that is CLASSIC! I never saw it that way before! That's why it's always juvenile and he's fake-enjoying everything so much!
Genius level observation.

😂😂😂 so true!
How refreshing to see some original tricks 🏆
RENATA CANTORE GROSS ha penn n teller FU
RENATA CANTORE GROSS there not really a lot of magic around is there
I love Jimmy’s smile when he finished describing the last item he touched @ 6:45!!!!!!!!!! 🥰😂😁😝
That smile reminds me why Nicole Kidman had a crush on him. ♥️
Quest has Playing cards on his phone case?!
Chris Ramsay exactly what I thought !
But he never showed it's back side at the end
but what do the cards have to do with anything, they were inside the case so theres no way jimmy felt them
Chris Ramsay oh ya
Chris Ramsay : your videos are better.
This trick is really easy to explain. When Dan White places QuestLove's cell phone into the box, he then calls upon the power of Ancistroides Nigrita, a chocolate butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae, to move the cell phone from the box into the yarn and then summons and leaves behind a chocolate bar instead. People are so stupid to be fooled by this!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg
THANK YOU! A like minded individual. So many rubes.
yeah if you look closely at 2:07 you can see the invisible spirit of Nigrita exploding into the Golden Realm of Existence and beyond the Silken Veil of Illusion via his back pocket.
Nigga what?
You don’t have any content on your channel. But I wish you did!
Jesus H Christ! Reading all the lame comments, you'd think White is NOT really performing ACTUAL magic! The nerve of him!

Do rubber crabs even exist????
Well they weren't feeling what we saw. They reached into a different compartment with something different. For jimmy it was a small spoon, for Quest it was probably like a rubber toy animal, like a turtle or a coiled snake or something.

3:08 "Quest, I want you to put out your right hand"
Quest looks at both hands, which one is my right?!?
Watched it a few times, Quest grabbed whatever phone that he had immediately almost before he asked, usually you'd be like "hell no!"
Yeah it's a bit weird since Quest is consistently very skeptical during tricks & this is the only part of the trick that isn't obvious...
***REVEALED***
Quests’s phone has been pickpocketed before the trick and a similar phone that has a similar phone case was inside his pocket. Meanwhile His actual phone was wrapped inside that wool ball before the trick.when the actual trick is commencing he didnt unlocked the phone or didnt check whether its his phone and gives the phone to Dan .. all the whats inside the box tricks were distractions to make sure Quest doesnt turn his phone on.... jimmy’s trick was only a little mind trick.
Or, he knew what kind of phone and case Quest had, he wrapped a similar one up in yarn. Then he switches them out before he hands it to Quest? That was my initial thought
100%
That’s right.
I think Quest was in on it. It takes him less than a second to produce a phone when the magician signals for one.
Noconz0727 MC yes it can be either way
Oh, man, that chocolate bar thing really made me laugh my ass off. Well played, Dan. Well played. This guy is really good. The initial part didn’t go quite as he planned, but he rolled with it. It happens to the best of us. And that ending was killer.
Y ain’t it go as plan the fone was in the yarn
It all went exactly as he planned.
He wanted jimmy to say candy bar, that’s why he wanted to imagin he was hungry haha
5:32 quest already knew he was going to ask for the cell phone
"Don't worry I'm not damaging your phone. It's plastic"
Sure looks like you're beating it up good!!
he expected jimmy to say chocolate bar
Because there was actually a chocolate bar in the box, and jimmy was imagining being hungry, it wasn't that difficult.
Yeah he performed Well, mentalism is hard to do with such an active audience like that. The trick was fun still.
No shit Sherlock
He didnt expect anything, do you not understand what the trick is?
@bullsi20 Let me guess, you think mind reading is real. lmao get over yourself.
jim's head so messed up after seeing that magic that he finger towards questlove and says " dan white everybody..." XD
I always love to see Questlove laughing XD
I read Dana White at first and I was wondering how on earth that guy could have gone from the UFC to doing magic tricks...........it would have been nice.....sure would have made him more likeable lol.
Same here :)
Lol same, then i felt dumb (back to reality)
At this point there's nothing Dana white can do to be more likeable. He's just a straight up ass.

So I'm not sure how else it could be done without a double and that he was given the double to hold beforehand without realizing it. The real phone was in the yarn the whole time.
It is for sure not his real phone in his pocket. It is pretty easy to know that cause his phone cannot warp to the yarn right. The yarn was already on the table when he gave his fake phone to him. People get the illusion that thse magicians are really wizards sometimes, but there is always a trick/explanation :)
Quest gave it up by giving his phone over a split second after the magician asked for his phone.
I thought that was a bit quick as well.
jimmy was so happy with the answer 6:44
If that was questloves phone then it must have been in the yarn before the act started which means either A he was in on it or B he was pickpocketed amd they switched it with a similar phone. B is risky but the payoff for success is much greater
Ryan Hatton ... B is not risky at all if the phone is lifted at the proper time, such as right before he went out for the night’s show. An identical phone, maybe even with an identical start screen pic, would then be replaced into his pocket. But sometimes people ARE in on it. Ratings. This is entertainment.
i’m so happy they brought him back on the show!
At 4:52, notice that the ball of yarn is on a white platform, where the chocolate bar is inside. That platform wasn't there at the beginning of the trick.
Max that still doesn’t explain how quests phone got into it though?
It’s TV magic. Different from real street magic. Most of this stuff is generally set up for the camera because the show is all for the live audience and the viewers, not the subjects being used for the trick. The phone was already in the yarn before hand and the one he gave was just a fake - he never showed the screen, only the back!
Max Is the bar a distractor while he slips off the platform 2 put it & the phone in floor's box?
luvvinallmusik 57 no idea, but that's just one thing I noticed about that trick
Max The bar not being in w the ladle is ok. We never see him put any items in, not even the phone. He just took one from Quest. Quest doesn't verify the phone's his when he gives it 2 the guy.
Not that you'd care but it's my 1st time figuring out a magic trick.
The guy that invented this trick was on Penn & Tellers Fool Us. He fooled them and they were amazed by it
His name? Do you remember?
That's crazy we seen him put the phone in that box it's amazing what magicians can do
8:07 "oh hell nah"
Starting at 5:11, if he’s putting something in the box that “everyone can see” why is he hiding the fact that he’s now going back into the box for something while he’s talking? He wants us to BELIEVE he’s putting away the little platform the ball of yarn was sitting on, but in fact, he’s placing the chocolate bar into the bottom of the box. Then, at 5:45, when he reaches down to place the cell phone into the box, he CLEARLY isn’t placing it at the bottom - his hand stops on the middle of the box - there is some sort of trick shelf there with a deck of wrapped cards.
Also, that’s not Quest’s cell phone he pulls out of his pocket. That’s an imposter, and either QL is in on the trick, and he’s aware, of his cell phone was taken before the segment and wrapped in the ball of yarn ahead of time without his knowledge.
I feel like this trick didn’t go completely to plan
Fantastic!!
Why didn't they show the rear of the phone that was revealed?
Lmao. Jimmy’s Lovin’ Quests turn!! 😈😱😂❤️😍🙌😇🔥🔥🔥😜 xxx
Naw it's just chocolate
Had me cracking up lol
All I can say is WoW.
quest pulled out his phone suspiciously fast
Way too fast. In on the trick. Only way it's done...
You got me dan
it was half setup they did a rehearsal where quest gave up his phone one time and thats when they switched it thats why quest knew to give up his phone right away but didnt know it had been switched
I love quest
At 4:46 look at that white box under the ball of yarn, it's kind of shaped like a cell phone then it's gone when they show the chocolate bar.
That's true. And it wasn't there during the spoon part 🤔
It is just a white cover for the chocolate bar!
quests nervous laugh is priceless
"They were in on it" LOL literally everyone's comment on any magic trick ever. Will people ever think of something more original than just "that guy was in on it"?
James Wise Magic well sure as fuck didn’t
First, it isn't "literally" everyone's comment, because some people have other hypotheses. 2nd: If someone was in on it, then why would originality be relevant? If someone was in on it, and I came up with something "original," then I'd be wrong. Unless you know how it's done, or can prove no one is in on it, then you can't rule it out. This is basic logic.
way too many people also say "i know how he did it.." we're all so proud of you guys
I swear to God jimmy is in love with dan
Aka they took his phone before this even started and gave him a dummy phone
Man recently i begane as a hobby to learn magic, and now in place of enjoying the whole trick i keep looking at the magician's hand 😅😂
'' Oh it can't be real, they obviously are lying and the phone was already in it the whole time''. Come on people, don't you think it's more difficult than that ? I used to do magic tricks and I'm sure there is a real explanation, Questlove's reaction seems genuine to me. Just admit you don't know and you have been fooled, let yourself believe it's magic (even if we know there is something underneath it ^^)
Gabriels the joys of being terribly fooled. Anyone can type behind a screen that it's fake until they witness magic in person and understand the power of it
oh god.. I really love magic tricks, the thing is that this is a poor one. 6 minutes of fucking nothing and after the final trick sucks.
I've seen his magics before, it was great !But this one its pure shit. Whats the difficult to admit that?
Gabriels yup
@Coyote are you experiencing a recent loss in your life? wake up on the wrong side of the bed? someone pee in your cereal? just a cranky bitch?
Gabriels he pickpocketed quests phone earlier and replaced it with a replica. Same case, same background etc.
The first phone quest gave him wasn’t actually his phone though he thought it was.
He knew what quests phone looked like because like they admitted at the beginning.... they know eachother from before
That cellphone is crushed 😂😂😂😂
Magic would be if the ladle started ringing..
I have no words 😶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like a good yarn, even if it's phoney. ;)
That is a good pun. Excellent job there.
Guys, can you all please just respect him? Even if he's not David Blaine or Shin Lim, he's still an amazing magician. Comparing magicians doesn't make one better than the other, it just makes it unfair for the amount of practice and work we put in. I just hope we all start praising and reinforcing positively instead of hating as if you could perform it better than he does. He's a great magician, just like Blaine and Shin Lim. Just different styles. Love it or hate it, there's a reason why Jimmy brings him to his Tonight Show.
Those were two different phones. The back of the case is different when it comes out of the yarn.
✨ How the phone trick works: Before Dan puts “quests phone” inside the box he opens the chest under the table, takes something out of the white box, and puts it in the chest. If you look back to 4:50 you’ll see that under the ball of yarn there’s a little white platform. That’s what he takes out and puts in the chest. It’s not there when he reveals the chocolate. But it’s not just a platform, it’s a box containing the chocolate bar. When he’s putting the “phone” in the box he’s actually hiding it, probably in a secret compartment, and the chocolate bar is already there. The phone inside the ball of yarn is a dupe of quests phone. It’s easy for someone who works for the show to copy his wallpaper and get the same phone case to make the phone appear to be his. He never unlocked the phone to verify any further than the lock screen.
Molly Romero No.
Quest looks like hes totally fed up with the show.
Can you imagine working with Jimmy Fallon every day?
Questlove didn't know his right hand and he's the drummer
Dang, tons of people hating.
The Magic of Keelan Wendorf kill the wizard!
If no one let him know this act was rubbish then he would go on probably performing it all over the country and will get laughed at by his audiences and booed, they will probably want their money back, his agent will not book him any more shows, he'll end up broke and on the streets living out of a cardboard box turning card tricks for food vouchers.. So really we're doing him a favor !
Any viable explanation for this trick, true or not, is more than just difficult to pull off. If this trick is considered bad, I'd like to know what you deem as "good".
right? if you don’t like it, don’t watch it lmao. 🤷🏻♀️
They all were in on the trick
Questlove is hilarious haha
What's the song that plays in the end? That groove is fire!!
The way questlove was acting in the beginning, I'd say he was in on it. 🤔
yeah i would say there was two phones...one already in the yarn and one that went in the box...no amount of magic in the world is gonna teleport a phone inside a ball of yarn...
they're in on it
This magic trick partly failed. Jimmy was supposed to say chocolate bar and then magician can say "...but What if we turn your imagination into reality" 7:04
Ah I see! That explains why he wanted Jimmy to think like he was hungry
6:44 that smile tho!
He gave it away. "Isn't this your one and only phone?"
Jimmy on the spoon trick: "Wow, I should have done this with my girlfriend." I'm dead
Frank Montana rare for jimmy to make a dirty joke
He says "you've done this with Blake Griffin"
And why does QL turn and look at the yarn at 7:51 waaaay before he even mentions the yarn?
Yea, like this is amazing if you dont believe QL is in on it. But like, its kinda obvious. They also didnt verify it was his phone when he gave it to him.
@@jacksonjack7838 he also gives his phone really quickly when asked for it. Didn't even take a sec to process it
Well about damn time that they uploaded a magic show❗️😅
Did anyone else think it said Dana white
crazy shit. i thought it said Dana White
Yes lol been on ufc binge
It's such a cool trick! I'm always fascinated, and have loads of fun trying to unpack the trick just by observing and deducing. So far what I got, but could be wrong:
With the ladle trick, you can see Jimmy's hand didn't go all the way to the bottom where the ladle was, but only midway. There was probably a pop-up platform midway with a teaspoon on it. You can see when Dan was placing the ball of yarn into the box, he was also adjusting the middle of the box, as if there's a platform there. Probably why Questlove also felt the rubber crab/duck - it was on the midway platform because his hand also didn't go all the way to the bottom of the box.
Where did these things go? Into the side of the box along with the midway platform. That's why these items are all thing and malleable and can fit into the slim sides of the box.
Also, when he was setting up the third trick and pretended to remove the flat box the yarn was on, he was really just removing the outer box and the chocolate bar was always inside that flat box. And when he put Questlove's phone in the box, notice how he places it to his left of the box and then moves his left hand as if to close a trap there. I believe his phone was in the side of the box, leaving only the chocolate bar in there.
How the phone got into the yarn I have no idea! Comparing the position of the yarn when Questlove placed the yarn on the other table, and the position of the yarn when Questlove went to retrieve the yarn, it seemed like nothing changed. The only thing I can think of is what some others here have mentioned: his phone was swapped out before the show started without his knowledge.
you should have more illusionist on your show!
He is amazing👏👏👏
9:10 I believe that's where the trick actually takes place where Dan somehow quickly switches the identical phone inside the yarn with Quest Love's actual phone
Idk you can see the screen wake up while it’s still in the yarn, and your time stamp doesn’t show him reaching near pockets or anything but the camera does cut away, I think you’re on the right path
Ha! I was trying to imagine what would be in the box (phone bit) and I thought of a chocolate bar! and a plastic wrapper!
I'm a magician but that was amazing.
Yo , what do u perform
I'm still not 100% sure how he does the full trick, but here is what I noticed. Before i explain what he does, notice @ 2:19 that the box has an inner wall that makes the whole box now a bit thicker. Within the outer and inner wall, things can be stored and somehow he pulls down another section. Here is why i think this: if you go back when he puts in the first object, watch his left hand. He puts in the big spoon with his right hand and pulls something with his left thumb. Now, if you carefully watch Jimmy put in his arm, you notice that he doesn't go all the way in. That's because the height was minimized when Dan did whatever he did with his left thumb. So then right before Dan reveals the big spoon, he once again swipes something up with his left thumb. First trick explained. Next he puts in a ball of yarn with a white box under it (with a chocolate inside). After he reveals the yarn, takes it out, and covers the box again, notice he leaves the white box in there and soon after pulls something out and places it in his briefcase, uncovering the chocolate. So now Dan tries to manipulate Jimmy but fails as Jimmy guesses a deck of cards, but Dan goes along. HERE IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING. When Dan puts the phone inside the box NOTICE that he doesn't place it at the bottom of the box, in fact he places it somewhere midway (same section as first trick?) and closes something. NOW WHEN JIMMY PUTS IN HIS HAND TO FEEL WHATS INSIDE HE HAS TO GO WAAAAAY DEEPER THAN THE FIRST TIME, because the height is now the full height. The only thing I have no idea about, is how he put the phone in the yarn, but here are two theories. Magicians have to do a lot of practicing and a lot of studying, so its normal that magicians study people who are on the show and objects they have (like a cellphone), so either somehow Dan got a hold of Questlove's phone before the show and swapped it with an identical phone, with an identical case, with identical cracks on the screen, and the same wallpaper OR swapped the fake phone with his actual phone after the show.
9:16 anyone else see that crack on the top left of the phone lol
isn't a crack. I thought it was also at first but after watching it a couple times, its just left over yarn threads that were caught on the phone case as the yarn was removed. Just some loose yarn thread leftover.
most underwelming magician ever
I know and watch a lot of magic. The only explanation I can come up with, is before the trick, Dan got Quest's cell phone and replaced it with a dummy. The rest is easy from there. You wrap the real cellphone in the yarn before the trick and get rid of the dummy once Quest hands it to you.
