Magic Blew His Mind! ( ft. Brian Markenson)

magic

everything that exists everything humans have created began in someone's imagination we have the power to change the world with our

mind

s and our thoughts michael runs in your

mind

please imagine you are reaching into your vial and pulling out the card You are thinking of imagining turning it face up and sliding it to the center of the column. You're thinking of a card here in the blue power. What watch, what card are you thinking of. by the power of your imagination and the power of imagination to change the world around us the queen of clubs is the one in the blue pile that jumps and spins uh i guess you haven't touched it yet i didn't do that you did that , but Michael, you're thinking of a card here in the red pile.

What are you thinking? You fear people because of the power of your imagination. The Queen of Hearts is the one on the red pile that jumps up and turns face up. but queen of clubs you know that's the one coming Queen of Hearts guys you know that's the one coming out of nowhere yeah and I have to honestly say you two did a fantastic job concentrating on these cards in particular the rest of them know they just order to fade it all working really hard in the studio and i thought people could use a little break so i invited my friend

brian

markinson to visit me hey mego frey is a wonderful

magic

ian he performs the Magic Castle in Hollywood California here and he's great at card handling, sleight of hand, all that good stuff, so I thought he'd enjoy watching our friends freak out a bit pretty cool let's see what happens hey what how are you doing well?

I'm Brian let me take a chance like magic Oh everybody does it man would you do me a favor Jay yeah you could come over and grab one of those for me but don't let me see it just get it out quick I don't want to see you, you know what it is, yes, excellent. to make sure you remember it please keep saying the name over and over in your head ok don't say it out loud because that would give it away but in your head keep saying the name of the card over and over again just keep saying two of diamonds two of diamonds diamonds two of diamonds two diamonds over and over again you got it now that way you won't forget us yes it was what you got right Wren that's right name a card for me right any you would like in the deck , yes he is the seven space some reason for the seven of spades or is it literally weird actually can you shoot guys can you help me find the seven of spades here?

I'm looking for it. I want to take it out and do something with it ah sorry guys uh I don't see it it doesn't have to be here he just told me that ok yeah sure if you just told yourself yes you waited wait oh no no no me I'm so sorry I forgot what it is my fault. Sorry before I start. I always have a card here in my pocket. Yes, I actually really like the seven of spades, although you know it's a really good card and if you don't mind I'd like to try something else with you, yes, and I'd like you to play one delicately. of the cards for me, but don't draw it, that one right there, are you sure?

I choose that one because you can change your mind if you want, but you don't have to. I choose to change my mind. I will do that. keep drawing this this time are you sure i want to change again let's change one word one more time okay this one you don't want to change again that's the one you changed twice yes this is the third that's my third choice wren what letter did you say a second ago It is the 7 of spades. It's a really good card. very fast, absolutely, let's do something fun, Sam, I'm going to run.

I'd like you to take one of the cards, but don't let me see it. tter a really good car that's great look at it shorter in everyone else's review I'm going to go like I can to say stop it sometime while I'm running okay stop put your card back okay okay because This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to give the cards some packets and some chocolates to make sure the one you picked, Sam, gets lost somewhere in the deck, this way no one knows where it is and only you know what. it's in the back no one can find it yeah here's the thing and all the cutting and shuffling your card may have made it here to the top of the deck it wouldn't be magic though i mean it could just be coincidence . ok there's a chance posse is sam's magic tonic which is this your card in the top five of clubs that's good hmm cause i'm not in the coincidence business right i want magic yeah Sam, would you do me a favor please that's kind of excellent, could you take the five and just slide it into the de? ck somewhere fun anywhere you play grab it but just mark that spot and don't let me move it people always think I move it because you could have put it anywhere but you put it near the top and put it Right on top of that card, Sam, would it be cool if that was the one you picked just now?

It will be great, what was it? You can tell me three of spades, you know what? Although it could still be a coincidence even if this was the three of spades, in fact the only way this would be magical is if the three of spades was in your hand, now that's real holding that all the time like real magic, let's make something that doesn't use cards for a moment let's go ahead and try something that uses some everyday objects rubber bands i need two rubber bands someone grab a rubber band someone else grab a rubber band and take a look at those make sure there aren't any nothing special about rubber bands my quality rubber bands you can't see the magnets no i'm not kidding there are no magnets people always think there is something special about rubber bands even though there isn't but they think so because what's next about to happen is impossible, I mean can you see that this rubber band, these rubber bands here as I have them on my fingers? that this one here is kind of locked inside the other one, you can see that it's there and it can't get out, but if I rub it, you can see it happen one strand at a time, yeah, do it again. one more time right here for me please could you pull the rubber band like this between your fingers for me guys okay one finger just there come a little closer to me because now if i come to this side? of your rubber band I apologize for your iPod chess, you know?

I don't know why, why you do that, but you know I'm just looking for that little weak point, what's it called Mr. Spencer, could you come here for later and I? I'm just gonna run, would you take? one of these cards for me, but don't let me see it, oh yeah, go ahead and take it out, look at it, show it to everyone else, I don't want to see it, and when you're ready, just put that back for me, please, thank you, so folks a while back i saw my son and he was playing with a deck of cards partly i think because you know when you are a kid you want to emulate your parents and i played a lot of cards at the time and i remember watching him while I was practicing shuffling the cards but I wasn't paying attention and I swear it's true I'm not making this up honestly I was watching him as he was shuffling but what he had done is that he had left some of the cards face up and had some face down.

Have you ever seen little kids do this before or actually shuffled the cards so they were face up and face down. it happens all the time that he actually did this where he shuffled the cards like that but face up with face down and honestly I don't. nk realized what he had done until he cut the cards and saw well that he had some cards that were face up in the deck and some cards that were back to back or face to back face to face back to back just a little mixed up to the end and he was actually a bit upset and he turned to me and said daddy could you fix it for me? because when you're a kid you don't know how the world works and you think your parents have all the power in the world that they can do anything you know I wanted to admire that for my son I wanted to be that guy and I took those cards that Spencer had shuffled like that and I wanted imagine what it would be like if I could snap my fingers and fix it so I took them I don't know you know I just started scattering them nice just to see what it would look like if I could fix it but just now you selected from a card and imagination not just to kids, it's for us too and if you don't mind I'd like you to use yours, can you try to picture that card in your mind? you're trying to see that it's a surprise that a car here in the Yaak gives him a round of applause he has half always is so used to seeing like you say systemic shows like shitty school functions growing up and like the loss of the church function from a NEC like the guy at the top of the game driving club not even close to Veta you run the people in every town they like to impress a bunch of kids but when they're all grown up and tired ​and you can still like wow them yeah it's cool so okay this is what I'll do and I'll show you a trick but before I show you I want to show you first so you get an idea of ​​the feeling. that you get when you see the trick done because i guarantee after you know how done you're going to say it won't fool anyone ok we're going to start with 9 and 6 ok and not what i'm going to do is to put them in two different places in the deck.

Now can you see that those are honestly and truly going into two completely different places in the deck? I don't have any brand or anything. I thought they were there. This is a normal deck. this is what we're going to do this is where it gets interesting if i concentrate i give a little snap and a little bit of a toss just like that i can draw two cards thanks and that's the trick that a good trick that was a great trick that was a good trick it's a good trick as soon as you know how to do it it's not such a good trick but it's ok because that's how it's done what i do to start is show you these two cards the nine of hearts and the six of diamonds but it doesn't call me the attention, that's just saying that I'm going to show you a 6 and a 9 and I already have these other two cards on the top and bottom and I forget what I see so now I say I'm going to show you I'm going to use the 6 and 9 and I don't call I just said 69 and now I do something called time offset.

I'm taking my time while I put this cleanly in debt. We are talking. I wait at least 20 seconds, maybe more before doing anything else like me. I'm checking and showing you and this is where you're focused you already forgot even though you were thinking about it what fits those six and nine so now all I have to do is squeeze the deck a little bit and if i squeeze the deck just right and throw it away i can hold the top and bottom and it just comes out in mike's performance it's most of the magic in fact i would venture to say 95% of the magic is in the deck presenting and acting how long have you been doing this if i was five then this may seem like an obvious question but why don't you miss it?

I want to reveal how they do the trick because it's not fun. It's actually very, very easy to learn how a magician performed a trick. The resources are available. Go to the library. They have literally hundreds of books on how. do magic in the library go to amazon card college by roberto gob the first book i learned i got when i was five was called card magic by frank garcia and george schindler it literally costs two cents on amazon so i hope a couple of you who watch these videos know exactly how these tricks are done if you want to discuss it and all that kind of stuff by all means. this is a joke blatantly screwing up the trick will take the magic out of everything consider this exactly what you want to reveal if you know the secrets now if you are trying to help someone or if you are going to discuss all the interesting ways and it could have been done th That's one thing, but consider the wizard's code.

Are you a fan of a particular magician, or do you know of any really great YouTube videos on magic and sleight of hand? Of course, share those that would be great to see. One of my favorite stories is when I was in college I was walking down the street at UC Berkeley and I was playing cards and some kids on the street came up to me and said show me a trick so I did a trick for them I did the trick i did for sam actually with change card in hand and this kid yelled at the top of his lungs through the card out into the street and ran off and didn't stop until i couldn't see him so it was a spike incredible. and there were no visual effects that none of this video was throwing it around that's true this is the same channel as aniko we only do visual effects that pedro the interns put in
