If anyone has any questions, I'm doing an AMA at LAX airport today at noon.
Maybe don't mention your a pickpocket on an airport
@@churibmanI didn’t get your comment until now. Going to need you to come bail me out.
A magician exposing airport security theater would actually make a great act
Do you have a recommendation for a book or two for psychological magic?
In 2010, a guy stole my wallet on a train by trying to get me to sign a petition. He had his arm in a cast and shoved the clipboard towards me while he picked my pocket. Weird thing is he looked a lot like you.
Ben's charisma is beaming.
thank you!!
@@TheComedyAndMagic wow your are really cool
Ben is a freakin' legend. Everything the guy does is gold.
Being a magician, I really like how he explains thing whilst also protecting some of our secrets. A true performer 👍
PLEASE invite Ben more!! He's my favorite guest you guys bring on
Ben Seidman may be the best person you get for any "insider reviews things" series than anyone else I've seen.
Thanks for watching!
You're an absolute delight to watch, Ben. I hope we see more of you here!
Please come back for more videos
Thank youuuu for the show! ❤
You are amazing Ben loved to watch more of you ♥
Love hearing the crew laughing in the background.
I was just watching his first video last night for the millionth time and wished Vanity Fair would have him back. He's delightful.
How casually he said he's a pick pocket lol
Its some of the most fun magic to perform with a crowd
He has a video on a different channel doing pickpocketing
We need more of him on this series
Thank you!
what I love more about sleight of hand is, even if you have some idea of how it was made, you can still be VERY impressed by the sheer amount of workmanship that goes into doing it so smoothly and appearing effortless
I'm so glad they brought this guy back! He's such a joy to listen to and he's so knowledgable!
So glad you had Ben back - he's truly the best 🙂
Thanks buddy!
I think my favorite parts are when Ben messes with the filming crew. More of that, please :D
I try :)
Really glad to see Ben on here again, he's a real talent and is a natural at this kind of content!
2:37 The crazy thing about the Phil Ivey scandal was that he effectively told the casinos beforehand in his "what I want as a VIP" documents that he was gonna edge-sort, and exactly how he was gonna do it (asking for specific brand of deck, asking for a specific type of dealer, asking the dealer to flip the cards around at the table). And the casino just went along with it because he was gonna gamble tons of money and they were dumb and greedy (and VIPs ask for weird stuff all the time).
except he didn't - the reason he lost his court cases was because he explicitly said it was for "luck" and "superstition" when the casinos asked "why?" That moved it to fraud.
@@Chiberia The casinos still had the option on review to say "sorry, but we can't make that accommodation because it could potentially compromise game integrity", but they didn't. Ivey 100% cheated, not arguing that, just saying that the casinos basically LET him cheat (because they expected to still make millions of dollars off his visit).
Ben Seidman is back! Yay! I'm a few hours late, but this was so awesome to see a part 2. Most these terms are review now, but this is still fun.
YESSSSS THANK YOU FOR BRINGING HIM BACK!
Ben is hilarious, super knowledgable and a very talented magician. I could watch hours and hours of this. Keep it up!
So happy to get a part two!!
again! again! i could watch this guy all day
I absolutely love seeing Ben on this, I've watched the 1st video 4 times. What I love most are all the giggles behind camera!
YYYEEEESSSS!!!!!!!! BEEN WANTING A PART TWO WITH BEN FOREVER!!!
AND NO ONE RETURNS MY CALLS! Was a grest moment especially when a crew member laughed
You did a second one!! I am so happy! Love!
I’ve been waiting for the follow up video for so long! Yay!
I made it mostly just for you. Thank you for the support! And patience :)
If they made 9 seasons of a Seinfeld like TV show using only this guy I'd 100% watch it.
What's the DEAL with Magic?!
Love every time he’s in one of these videos!
Ben is so charismatic. I love it. Also, needs more Juno footage 💚
YAAAS! Been waiting for this!
I’m so glad that you invited this guy back! He’s so fun to watch!
This guy rocks - why hadn't I heard of him before! I'll definitely be on the lookout for his content. Great attitude and talent and humor. Rock on Ben!
yesss Ben is back!!!

Congrats Ben! These are my favorite vanity fair interviews.

Ben is just brilliant! Glad to see him back.
Aww THANK YOU!
@@TheComedyAndMagic Please excuse me while I go fangirl over you replying to my comment ahaha
@@alleycaaatYOU ARE EXCUSED! :)
@@TheComedyAndMagic Excellent! Now I can sneak off to a corner to recreate the Jonah Hill fangirl gif :)
Please bring him back again! These are my favorite videos.
Daaaaamn~ That switch @6:47 is so cool :)
D.) a career in the arts. 😂😂😂😂 THIS GUY IS HILLARIOUS!!!! Can’t wait for vid #3!!!
he is doing it smoothly
Ugh yes we love him!
Just watched the first part. This got recommend
What a charismatic guy! I would definitely play cards with him, surely nothing could go wrong!
Ok if we could get parts 3, 4, 5 ...1000, I'd be down for that.
I want part 3,4 and 5, please. Love this guy!
I love you too
What an amazing video featuring an amazing individual! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Aww thank you so much brother!!
Wow Spidey! Great to see you here 😃
YES! I love this guy! He makes me love magic again
That's the best thing to hear
This guy is hilarious omg Also, theres more to that particular ITYSL sketch, but I do understand using it to show how the trick would actually happen😊
All the background in-room laughter totally made this video for me
Just as in his first video, Ben is so charming and funny -- someone give this guy a movie or TV show, ASAP!
yayy they listened to how much we loved this!
Juno is wonderful!
i love this videos.
More Ben Seidman please!
I've only clocked one trick this whole time (thanks to discovering magic before discovering boys), and that one was so flippin smooth it only makes it more impressive.
I want to know more about the ball trick! That was so cool
Bravo!!
Awesome job, Ben!!
thank you!
he's back!!!
This guy is just amazing.
Thank you!
13:00 Love when magic is done to be fun and inclusive, not smug and self-righteous.
Ben is just simply the best
ATTTTENNNNNCIIIIOOOONNEEE! PICK POCKETE!!!!!!!!!
🤣
he's baaaaaack!
Magicians live in a world of their own
Ben is no joke.
the loml
Thank you!
@@mainly_marvel aww shucks
I have rewatched the 1st video about 100 times and I wake up to see this!?!?!?!? YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
Yes Ben!!!!!!!
I love this guy; he is fantastic!
The balls routine reminds me of Eugene Berger on TV spots
I watched that card coin trick five times, and still have no clue.
Yeah that was impressive
There is a second coin underneath the ace of hearts. It’s a gimmick table.
@@ColinWEvansit looks like the signatures are different. I think it might be two coins
it's magic
You are by far, my new favourite human being.
Let's hope he's not a zionist.
That coin to other card is amazing, I am baffled and I know a lot of tricks. ⁉🤔
5:27 this incredible. The best example on this device I’ve ever seen. Maybe we could build it into a pair of painters stilts so when you pick up the littler person, they become a bigger person. Hawkins would love that!!!! Somehow this interview is a misleading truth. 10/10
Let's get a Part Three ;)
Great videos
Dude's a beast
Yes
Wonderful Ben!
Thanks Greg!
This dude is hilarious 😂. Multiple pops out of me.
Your last point about how magicians lead their audience that sleight of hand is fast and then René Lavand's ‘I Can't Do it Any Slower’ is a perfect example that speed isn’t what is at play here. But of course a one handed magician had lightening fast reflexes and you will never see lol
What a fine magician.
Wait guys I think he stole my heart too
AMAZING
Gracias!
He's a wonderful guy to be around but I'll also be in constant anxiousness of having yet another of my article expertly pickpocketed without my knowledge making me hyper aware 😂
remember kids! every time a magician says "i'm gonna do x so you know i'm not cheating" they already cheated you at least 3 or 4 times.
Vanity did our boy dirty with the cuts, to a meiman it looks like actual magic when it should look like beautiful hand machanic glory
I know some of those tricks. Got me a free beer here and there at the local bar. 😂
i absolutely love this guy, he's the reason i got into magic, and now the reason i continue to win bets at 3 card montey
Amazing!
wow... Alan Tudyk is a magician now? that guy goes places.
I have the same brown jacket, great taste! =)
WE'VE MISSED YOUUU
I'M BACK :)
Ben is awesome :)
Okay but like how did he move that coin I watched the whole thing in slow motion
i need a tutorial for the translocation effect at the 3:25 Mark.
YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
!!!
