One key to remember. The job of the magician is ensure the trick goes right and he especially doesn't get hurt. Three ways of knowing or preventing that from happening. 1. Listen for replacing of nail so like the other person said you'd hear them doing it. 2. Based on your instructions can prevent them getting the idea to lift it. 3. Even that was to happen, it would wise to have a counterpart in the crowd that can signal you if the cup was changed.
You get an instant stigmata...if someone really wanted to fuck you up this is exactly what they would do...move the spike to another cup. Seriously don't do this.
Great explanation Can't wait to use this on my show I've tried one by Eric James it was good but this methods better because there's no crushing the corners of the coasters which you would look for in his demonstration
There's a different way of doing it. I saw a magician do it where the spectator mixed the cups without anybody seeing then the spectator looks away and the magician mixes the cups. Then the spectator makes the choices when he genuinely doesn't know where the spike is.
Saw a guy on ted talks do this while he was blind folded, the cups were moved by the regular person without the magician looking, then the magician moved them without the regular knowing, then the magician put on a blind fold and the cups were moved a final time. the trick was performed flawlessly
Hey buddy 😊 I truly thank you for this method. Of course there are others...but this is an Absolute way of doing practically Impromptu if the supplies were already present somehow 😅 but the method is freaking awesome.
What about if they’re bags? And you didn’t put it in there? And other people willingly choose what bag you press down on? That’s what I want to see a tutorial on.
A more important aspect is how you choose the cups to crush. There is a method for asking the mark which cup to choose so you can crush the non-nail cup. That is not shown in this video.
very nasty trick, some people are not that stupid and can take out the nail and put it into another cup while you are turned away.. now that's when you will get hurt, because the serial number you memorized is not the right one anymore.....
the performer does not touch the cups, they smash them, so weight would not matter. Watch the video again---LOOK FOR THE LINK AT THE TOP---CLICK that link to see the SAFE method
Wait I understand that you can know the cup that has the nail underneath it because of the serial number, but if you let the spectator pick the cups you crush with your hand after you mix them up, what's preventing them from accidentally picking the cup with the nail underneath it?
I've seen Keith Barry do this trick but he looked away before the person put the cups on then he mixed them up then the person mixed them up again. then Keith put on a blind fold and had the person pick which cups to smash. How would he do that?
YOU place the spike in the cup, because its styrofoam-you can hear if they try to switch the spike----its secure. You could also let them pick the cups and you DISCREETLY nail nick the cup which has the spike.
+M3NTAL MAGIC cant you tell which one it is because of the weigh because you picked up all of them and the needle should be a little heavy so cant you tell by that too????
it appears he knew where the spike was from the very start (after she mixed them). I would say a battery operated electromagnet, connected to a vibration motor would most likely vibrate when sleeve is near metal spike.
well, thats only 1 way to do it. the magicians i see get the spectator to choose which cups the magician will crush. & i've seen an egg placed in a paper bag, & the spectator will select. so how is that done? (i want to do this for the kids in my hospital)
Thanks for the video. But I wouldn't call such cups "unmarked". And explaining that you need cups, a screw, that the circumference of the plastic needs to be smaller than the one of the cup.... seriously? Is that so? OMG thank you, I never would've known x)
if the other person decided to switch the screw to another cup while your back is turned...then you are "screwed".
you would hear it...........

Was just thinking that. You better give clear instructions and trust the spectators!
"Cups are unmarked". I challenge the validity of that statement. That is technically not true.
@@HaroldJordanMagic no, he is right, cups are marked...
That's a little scary. I don't trust my short term memory well enough to do it.
Fox Rivers same
What happens if they remove the nail and put in a other cup
+Jayson Luv then you look for the cup that does not move
+Jayson Luv You'll need to call an ambulance
+Jayson Luv Then you need to work on your spectator management and also book a taxi to the hospital ;)
You get an instant stigmata...if someone really wanted to fuck you up this is exactly what they would do...move the spike to another cup. Seriously don't do this.
It's why, I'm always work witn an assistant who can looking for and intervene in case of danger
the screw is securely attached to that clear disk. The foam cups do make noise if they try to remove it to switch it to another cup.
ID USE A EGG for safety reasons today !
Brilliant

I didn't know Steve Carell did magic.
what
Awesome. When someone those this trick, I know what to do. When they turn their back, switch cups! hahaha

The blindfold is called misdirection
That's because this is not how the trick is done.... This way is dangerous
Cheers mate, thanks for sharing really appreciate it.
Excellent!!!! Thanks!!!

obsolete- in 2022 easier ways to do this and more fooling
Brilliant!
boy you surprised me, as I did not think about it? another entered and turned the channel fan. Congratulations and my sincere greetings.
Nah! That can't be it? I just watched someone else do it and the stooge was doing the choosing? PLUS. They used paper bags!!
It's me, Donna that’s a whole different trick in itself

:28 - "CUPS ARE UNMARKED".
2:50 - **explains that the cups are marked with a "DIFFERENT NUMBER ON EACH CUP".**
"D'OH!"
meaning NO SECRET TELL TALE MARKS------------so its truly random.
Bro really awesome
Do more videos
Iam ur fan from now

very nasty trick, some people are not that stupid and can take out the nail and put it into another cup while you are turned away.. now that's when you will get hurt, because the serial number you memorized is not the right one anymore.....
Cool!
when you move the cup you can feel the medal and you moved them
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO NOW I HAVE A HOLE IN MY HAND REALLY THANKS
lol, I did say theres a new, safer way to do this.....eggs or carbonated soda cans
That is far too risky. Better to do it where no risk is actually present
ACTUALLY I GOT A SAFER COOLER WAY OF DOING THIS---video coming soon so stay tuned.
the performer does not touch the cups, they smash them, so weight would not matter. Watch the video again---LOOK FOR THE LINK AT THE TOP---CLICK that link to see the SAFE method
That is preety good trick but I have seen it with bags and knives before.
Wait I understand that you can know the cup that has the nail underneath it because of the serial number, but if you let the spectator pick the cups you crush with your hand after you mix them up, what's preventing them from accidentally picking the cup with the nail underneath it?
it's 2022--way cooler/safer ways to do these type of tricks.......MOVE ON PEOPLE
what if people put the nail into the cup before you notice which cup?
I've seen Keith Barry do this trick but he looked away before the person put the cups on then he mixed them up then the person mixed them up again. then Keith put on a blind fold and had the person pick which cups to smash. How would he do that?
I saw this done with raw eggs---same basic effect
nice video. but use recylced styrofoam cups! they are all over the place.
But I've seen the trick done where the Punter makes the choice?
Yeah a good simple method but the professional versions do not have numbers ?
YOU place the spike in the cup, because its styrofoam-you can hear if they try to switch the spike----its secure. You could also let them pick the cups and you DISCREETLY nail nick the cup which has the spike.
+M3NTAL MAGIC cant you tell which one it is because of the weigh because you picked up all of them and the needle should be a little heavy so cant you tell by that too????
M3NTAL MAGIC just suggest up
it appears he knew where the spike was from the very start (after she mixed them). I would say a battery operated electromagnet, connected to a vibration motor would most likely vibrate when sleeve is near metal spike.
You're not being serious, right?
+Legit Name You do know he's the person who made the video right?
+FinnishArmy but hes not serious
Sarah B I know...
Of course the magician knows ya doosh
Imagine you forgot the cup no.
well, thats only 1 way to do it.
the magicians i see get the spectator to choose which cups the magician will crush.
& i've seen an egg placed in a paper bag, & the spectator will select.
so how is that done?
(i want to do this for the kids in my hospital)
Jump to 1:38 to see the tutorial start if you've already seen the trick done.
Well, the cup with the spike is heavier than the rest.
if any wanna be magician tries this on me I'm switching cups while his back is turned 😂
so the cups are marked
I did not watch the whole video i know how you do that because i can still know where you mixed
mmmmmm what if he changed the cup that has the nail like remove the cup that has the nail and place another (different serial number)
we aren't dumb we saw you switch them to where you knew where the spike was
And while you are turned away they change the cup that has the spike………
Uh, it's the magician's job to find the spike. Not the spectator's.
We can also guess the weigh of the cup.
what if while your back is turned they switch the screw to a different cup?
excatcly my thaughts cause my friends are dicks
Would be funny if the person doesn't just move the cups, but puts the spike into a different cup.
Double dare you to use bare feet instead of hands, and Lego bricks instead of spike, lol.
Is this where Steve Seagal got the spike roulette from?
decade old video
Thanks for the video.
But I wouldn't call such cups "unmarked".
And explaining that you need cups, a screw, that the circumference of the plastic needs to be smaller than the one of the cup.... seriously? Is that so? OMG thank you, I never would've known x)
I've seen this trick done where the magician is wearing a blind fold. How does that work, if you can't read the serial number?
luck
+Tyler Phelps There's other ways. You can use a magnetic sensor in your clothes.
When u picked up the cups u knew what one had the spike bc of the weight of them duh
so it is marked but no one will realize it in time
Y is ur profile pic glitchy
RUSSIAN ROULETTE with cans
Watched another guy do this trick that could use glasses and a lawyer..
apart from when the audience member is asked to choose which cup the magician has to squash, but nice try my friend.
he obviously knew which was which when he picked up the cups
you obviously didnt watch the video before commenting
i thought it was about the weight..
But I've seen this performed while allowing the spectator to choose which cups to be smashed. 🤔
its 2022-thats an old obsolote video-way easier ways to do this now
Never never do this way because the subject can move the nail.....
use a fake screw just in case?
Damn, why is it so easy?
at 2.41
You are the one who mixed them up lol
This is a really UNSAFE method dude, best way is the Masked Magicians set no error an yur hand stays holeless
use an egg
You SCREW them?? WHAT??
N0---the cups are numbered, NOT MARKED
He took the one that habve the spike
You can feel the one that's heavier when you lift the cups up. Nice try.
cieńas
don't ever do this. it is too risky!
I did say theres a safer version using eggs or cans of soda
not true some cups have the same numbers on the
those are defects---usually found at dollar stores
you said get the cups at the dollar store
I would not practice this at all.
This is a kids version of spike lol
Jokes
he knows what it is when he moves it by the weight
He was moving the cups because he had no spectator in this video. In a real live performance, your're not touching the cups.
I tried this now my hand hurts like hellhaha jk
u r not magic you just picked up the cups and you didn't hit the heaviest when you were moving them
wrong
Still a stupid trick I would never attempt, after a while, someone will fuck it up for you and you will get hurt!
Chutiye....Find out it's meaning...it's for you
im cringing so hard
