Magic Blew His Mind! ( ft. Brian Markenson)

magic

everything that exists everything that 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 that you are reaching into your jar and pulling out the card You are thinking about imagining it by turning it face up and sliding it to the center of the file. You're thinking of a card here in the blue power on what watch. What card are you thinking of? Do you want me to tell us, please, queen of clubs. Because of the power of your imagination and the power of imagination to change the world around us, the queen of clubs is the one on the blue pile that jumps and spins, huh, I guess you haven't touched it yet.

I didnot do that. You did that, but Michael, you're thinking about a card here in the red pile. What do you think you are afraid of people because of the power of your imagination? The Queen of Hearts is the one on the red pile that jumps and turns face up. but queen of clubs, you know, that's the one that's coming. Queen of hearts, guys, you know, that's the one that comes from the blue. Yes, and I have to honestly say that you two did a fantastic job focusing on these particular cards and the rest. You know, that just fades away, everyone works so hard in the studio and I thought people could use a little break, so I invited my friend Brian Markinson to visit me.

Hello, Mego Frey is a wonderful

magic

ian who plays the Magic Castle. in Hollywood California here and he's great at card handling, sleight of hand, all that good stuff, so I thought I enjoyed watching our friends get blown away a little bit pretty well, let's see what happens, hey, how's it going? goes? I'm Brian, let me. Chance with me like magic Oh, everyone does it, man, would you do me a favor? Jay, yeah, could you come over and grab one of those for me, but don't let me see it, just take it out quick. I don't want to see it, you know? what is it yeah great to make sure you remember it please keep saying the name over and over in your head okay don't say it out loud because that would give it away but in your head keep repeating the name. of the card over and over again, keep saying two of diamonds two of diamonds diamonds two of diamonds two diamonds over and over again you have it now that way you won't forget us yeah, that's what you got right Wren, that's right name a card to me anyone you want in the deck yeah he's space seven any reason for the seven of swords or is he literally weird actually shoot can you guys help me find the seven of swords 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, no, it has to be here. He just told me that. wait wait oh no no no I'm really sorry I forgot it's my fault I'm sorry before I start I always keep a card here in my pocket yeah I actually really like the seven of spades although you know it's a really good card um and If you don't mind, I'd like to try something else with you, right? Yes, and I would like you to just gently touch one of the cards for me, but don't take it out, that's the one you have.

I'm sure I choose that one because you can change your mind if you want, but it's not necessary. I choose to change my mind. I'll keep drawing this one this time. Are you sure that time I want to change again. let's change a word one more time, okay, this one you don't want to change again, that's the one you changed twice yes, this is your third, that's my third option Wren, what card did you say a second ago is in the 7 of swords ? a really good card, I'm so glad you can't, go to this one. I don't know what I wanted, to pick up a card trick real quick, absolutely, let's do something fun, Sam, I'm going to go over it.

I would like to. You take one of the cards, but don't let me see it. It doesn't matter. A really good car. It's great. Check it out. stop sometime while I'm running, okay, stop, put your card back in okay, that's okay, because this is what I'm going to do. I'll 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 is back there, no one will be able to find it, yeah, Here's the thing and with all the cutting and shuffling, your card may have appeared here. to the top of the deck wouldn't be magic, although I mean, it could just be a coincidence, there's a chance it could be Posse, it would be magic Sam tonic, what's your card at the top of the five of clubs?

That's good mmm because I'm not. In the coincidence business, right, I want magic, yeah, uh, Sam, would you do me a favor, please, that's kind of excellent. Could you take all five and just slide them on the deck somewhere fun anywhere you play, save it even though just mark it? place and they won'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 you put it right on top of that card Sam, would it be cool if that was the one you picked out a moment will be cool what was it, can you tell me three of spades you know, 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 do 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 grabs a rubber band someone else grabs one elastic band and check them out, make sure there is nothing special about the elastic bands, my quality elastic bands, right, you can't see the magnets, no, I'm kidding, there are no magnets, people always think there are. something special about rubber bands, even though there aren't any, but they think there is, because what's about to happen is impossible.

I mean, can you see that this rubber band, these rubber bands here, the way I have them on my fingers, this one here is? like it's locked inside the other one, you guys can see it's there and it can't get out, but if I rub it, you can see it happening one strand at a time, yeah, hey, do it again one more time at that time. right here for me please could you pull the rubber band like this between your fingers for me guys okay just one finger here you go come a little closer to me because now if I get close to this side of your rubber band, Sorry you're iPod chess, you know?

I don't know why you do that, but you know, I'm just looking for that little weak spot, what's your name, Mr. Spencer? Could you come here later and I'll just run? through, could you take one of these cards for me, but don't let me see it, oh yeah, go ahead, take it out, take a look at it, show it to everyone else, I don't want to see it and when you're ready, yeah They'd just put that right there for me please thank you friends a while ago I saw my son and he was playing with a deck of cards, partly I think because you know when you are a child you want to emulate it with your my parents do it and I played a lot with cards at the time and I remember watching it while I was practicing shuffling the cards, but I wasn't paying attention and I swear this is true.

I'm not making this up, honestly before God. I was watching him while he was shuffling, but what he had done was left some of the cards face up and had others face down. Have you ever seen little kids do this before or did they actually shuffle the cards so they were face up? face down happens all the time, he actually did this thing where he shuffled the cards like that but face up and face down and honestly I don't think he realized what he had done until he cut the cards and saw well that there was some cards that were face up in the deck and some cards that were back to back or face to back, face to back, they were just completely mixed up and he was actually a little upset and turned to me and said.

Dad, could you fix it for me? Please, you know? I really think he believed that I could, that he could snap his fingers and fix it like that because when you're a kid you don't know how the world works and I think your parents have all the power in the world and they can do anything. You know, I wanted to admire that for my son. I wanted to be that guy, so I took those cards that he had mixed up like that. Spencer and I wanted to imagine what it would be like if he could snap his fingers and fix it, so I took them.

I don't know, you know. I just started spreading them out to see what it would look like if he could. just fix it, but just now you selected a card and imagination, not just for kids, it's for us too and if you don't mind, I would like you to use yours, can you try to imagine that card in your mind? Look at it, visualize, imagine what it looks like, right, you're trying to see, it's a surprise that a car here in the Yaak gives it a round of applause, it has half of it, it's always like you're so used to seeing, as you say, systemic spectacles. like shit, like school functions growing up and church function, loss of an NEC like the guy at the top of the game, driving club, not even close to Veta, you run people in every town, they might like to impress to a group of children, but when everyone is growing up.

You're sick and tired of it and you can still say, "Wow them, yeah, that's cool, okay, so this is what I'm going to do and I'm going to teach you a trick, but before I teach it I want to show it to you first." so you have an idea of ​​the feeling you get when you look at the trick performed because I guarantee that after you know how it's done you'll say that's not going to fool anyone okay we'll start with the 9 and the 6's are fine but what What I'm going to do is put them in two different places on the deck.

Now, can you see that they honestly and truly go in two completely different places in the deck? I don't have any marks or anything. I thought they were there. This is a normal deck of cards. It's a normal deck of cards because this is what we're going to do. Here it is where it gets interesting. If I concentrate, I give a little snap and a little throw so I can draw two cards directly thank you and that's the trick was that a good trick that was a great trick was a good trick is a good trick as soon as you know how it's done, It's not a good trick, but it's okay because that's how it's done, what I do to start is I show you these two cards, the nine of hearts and the six of diamonds, but I don't draw attention to that, I just say that I'm going to show you a 6 and a 9 and I already have these other two cards at the top and bottom and I forget, I see, so now I tell you that I'm going to show you that I'm going to use the 6 and the 9. and I don't call just to say 69 and now I do something called time warping.

I'm taking my time as I'm putting you cleanly into the debt we're talking about. I wait at least 20 seconds, maybe more before doing anything else while I'm showing it to you and this is where you're focused, you've already forgotten even though you were thinking about it, which suits that six and nine, so now all I have to do is dip a I squeeze the deck a little bit and if I squeeze the deck right and pull it, I can retain the top and the bottom and it just comes out in Mike's performance, it's most of the magic, actually , I would dare to do it.

Say that 95% of the magic is in the presentation and the acting. How long have you been doing this if I were five years old? This may seem like an obvious question, but why not get lost? 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 to perform magic in the library. Go to Amazon Card. College of Roberto Gob the. The first book I learned when I was five years old was called Card Magic, by Frank García and George Schindler.

It's literally two cents on Amazon, so I hope a couple of you watching these videos know exactly how to do it. these tricks are done if you want to discuss it and all that kind of stuff of course I'm not going to tell you what to do but this is just a joke that blatantly ruining the trick will take away the magic of Consider all this exactly what it wants to reveal if You know the secrets now, if you're trying to help someone or if you're going to discuss all the interesting ways it could have been done, that's one thing, but consider the magician's code.

Are you a fan of a particular magician or know some really good YouTube videos about magic and sleight of hand, by all means 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 from UC Berkeley and I was playing with 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 that I did to Sam, actually with the card changes in my hand and this kid screamed at the top of his lungs across the card into the street and ran away and man and he didn't stop until I couldn't see him, like this which was a peak that is incredible and there were no visual effects like any other. of this video throwing it out there that's true this is the same channel anikó we only do visual effects in that I'm involved Peter the interns
