@@MadScientist267 Actually you are wrong. Enclosing it in the glasses is intended to fool you, which it did, into thinking no string can be used (in truth its not a string but a wire but im not arguing about aesthetics) when in fact the "string" is positioned beyween the glasses. The same effect may occur when they use hoops (giant rings). The "string" can be run at an angle or even distorted. This can be seen when the hoop is passed most of the way through the object then reversed direction. They must reverse the direction because of the "string." But i suspect you are correct in one aspect, its not obvious. I gave the readers too much credit.

@@AnimationArtWorld I bet there were some random cards on the top and bottom (or maybe even the bottom) and it was an odds game considering most people would pick a card from somewhere in the middle. So if all the middle cards were 3 of spades, it would work. Also, there was no reason for the magician to ask Johnny to tell him what card was picked, which leads me to believe he asked because he wanted to make sure the trick was going correctly. I wonder what plan B was if Johnny had picked another card.
@BrandonHann9 ай бұрын
@@BrandonHann You're forgetting something: Johnny shuffled the deck after choosing the card. Anything that the magician had set up would have been lost. Furthermore, if most of the cards were the 3 of spaces, it would have been highly probable that it would have appeared at the "bottom" of the deck, instead of the ace that appeared as the magician showed the deck to Johnny. And, he, literally, had nothing up his sleeve. However, he did see the back of Johnny's card, which could have had secret markers on it, but, it still begs the question: How did he get it to his foot?
@skaizun9 ай бұрын
It's a trick deck. Half the deck is full of the three of spades and they are stuck together with a normal card. The three of spades is always on the top so that is going to be the card someone chooses. I had that same trick deck myself when I was a kid except the "chosen card" was the ten of clubs.

If I need to guess the first one used magnetic liquid that the glasses were rubbed with. And when he wrinkled the bill he put some of the lotion on it with his hands. It's transparent so we can't see it. (That's why he did it and not Johnny) As for the second one, the trick was in the selection. The cards were made in a way that only the 3 of spades will be selected by Johnny. And, of-course it was already in his leg before the kick. Any other thoughts ?

I've been a member of both the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians for close to 25 years and have heard of or seen all of the great magicians out there. Some of them have even lectured for our local magic club of which Lance Burton and Mac King are active members. The two effects he performed, The Levitating/Floating Bill and the Forced Card (3 of Spades) to Impossible Location are both classic tricks in the world of magic. A great magician no doubt, but why haven't we seen more of him?

SOMETHING FISHY WENT ON THEN. BUT THESE SHOWS WERE AIRED LIVE, BUT WERE LATER EDITED IF NECESSARY, FOR WHATEVER REASONS THAT WERE DETERMINED BY THE PRODUCERS. THE MAGICIAN WALKED OUT IN DRESS SHOES, BUT WAS ABLE TO SLIP OUT THE SHOE ON HIS FOOT THAT WAS GRIPPING THE CARD, WITHOUT BEING DETECTED. WHATEVER WENT ON UNDER THE TABLE DURING THIS TRICK IS THE SECRET TO THE TRICK.

I'm guessing that the card was somehow marked, as as soon as Johnny picked it at 4:10, his right hand goes under the table and his left does not come back up until 4:16. I believe this is where the duplicate 3 of spades is planted. Even so, an excellent trick as it is still fast and smooth. Johnny was an amateur magician, an amateur actor, an amateur drummer, but a masterful entertainer.
@kennethsouthard60423 жыл бұрын
marking cards is too complicated for the trick, he forced the 3 of spades which makes sure that he doesn't have to fanagle with sleight of hand when loading the card (IE making sure he got the right one). And if you pause when he kicks the cards it's already in his toes. I think you are right with the duplicate card idea.

Possible explanation for the dollar bill levitation trick: Not ordinary wine glasses . Telling me they are ordinary does not make it so. Therefore, why not wine glasses that send out an electromagnetic field conducive to the to the fibers in the dollar bill. Other explanation: Television camera trick in which only the audience and Johnny are in on the video effect. As to explaining the card trick, give me time, I'm thinking about it. Right or wrong, matters not, Randall was simply marvellous and impressive indeed!

I miss this raw style of television. It was more real and natural. Today everything is so over rehearsed
lol
Completely agree….
Much much much more real.
Johnny said things that would get the pitchforks and torches today, but it was TV worth watching.
Brilliant performances, never heard of this magician before. 👍👍👏👏👍👍👏👏🤜🤛💪💪💪
Neither have I, and I've been a member of both the IBM and SAM for over 20 years
The best.
Awesome. I was thinking the really super thin string but then the bill was inside the glasses.
I've never seen sleight of feet before.
Randall, listen. This was the greatest levi bill i have ever seen. using the vibration of the glasses.....LEGEND BROTHER
Excellent way to do the levitation! I have to practice that one, However I'm a bit to shaky
It’s so great
Nice.
How wonderful it was of Carson to leave so much to charity.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Truly amazing!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I'm sure Johnny knew the dollar bill/wine glass trick. It was obvious to folks who have seen the invisible string/Fishing line trick. He still kept quiet about it to give the man some street credit.
That is truly the difference between Carson and Letterman. Letterman would have called him out on it and try to embarrass..... even destroy him! But you are correct. Even though well executed, Johnny would have known the gimmick very well,
That was TOE-TALLY awesome 🤣😂🤣😂
Sleight of foot!
😄
I bet “pure magic” brought this fine magician all over the world! Johnny was the best and had on the best. Have you gone on Mark Malkoff’s Johnny Carson Show Podcast? Excellent spot on Johnny!
The cards are all 3 of spades except the bottom card that we saw.
At 04:26 you can see a card at the bottom of the pile. At 05:05 you can see a different one. So?
Impressive magic. Even more impressive? The hair! 🤠
The card trick was toeriffic. You nailed it.
You mean.... "toe nailed" it. 😁
The dollar bill trick with the wine glasses is very simple. He attached an invisible string to the dollar bill with a small dab of wax he had in his hand. The other part of the string was attached to his ear. I have done similar tricks myself with this method.
He used the “force” on the second trick
Great TV.
@03:14 to 3:17 You can see the string reflect inside the glass
Easily worked out, he levitates the dollar bill
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Nice classic force. Also used to love playing around with the special something that makes light weight objects “float” :)
Wow, how come we've never seen this guy?
Damn, I just want to say that guy had some beautiful 80s hair... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He obviously already had another three of spades held between his toes, but how he forced Johnny to pick that particular card is the real trick. A well conceived and executed "force" on his part.
My guess is every card in the deck was a 3 of spades.
@@TC-eo5eb No, you can see a few of the cards when they are being moved around
@@AnimationArtWorld I bet there were some random cards on the top and bottom (or maybe even the bottom) and it was an odds game considering most people would pick a card from somewhere in the middle. So if all the middle cards were 3 of spades, it would work. Also, there was no reason for the magician to ask Johnny to tell him what card was picked, which leads me to believe he asked because he wanted to make sure the trick was going correctly. I wonder what plan B was if Johnny had picked another card.
@@BrandonHann You're forgetting something: Johnny shuffled the deck after choosing the card. Anything that the magician had set up would have been lost. Furthermore, if most of the cards were the 3 of spaces, it would have been highly probable that it would have appeared at the "bottom" of the deck, instead of the ace that appeared as the magician showed the deck to Johnny. And, he, literally, had nothing up his sleeve. However, he did see the back of Johnny's card, which could have had secret markers on it, but, it still begs the question: How did he get it to his foot?
It's a trick deck. Half the deck is full of the three of spades and they are stuck together with a normal card. The three of spades is always on the top so that is going to be the card someone chooses. I had that same trick deck myself when I was a kid except the "chosen card" was the ten of clubs.
WHOA!
If I need to guess the first one used magnetic liquid that the glasses were rubbed with. And when he wrinkled the bill he put some of the lotion on it with his hands. It's transparent so we can't see it. (That's why he did it and not Johnny) As for the second one, the trick was in the selection. The cards were made in a way that only the 3 of spades will be selected by Johnny. And, of-course it was already in his leg before the kick. Any other thoughts ?
Rest Easy Carson..
Randall Richman...Who is he? Where is he? I've never heard of him before or since his appearance on The Tonight Show. I've been a member of both the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians for close to 25 years and have heard of or seen all of the great magicians out there. Some of them have even lectured for our local magic club of which Lance Burton and Mac King are active members. The two effects he performed, The Levitating/Floating Bill and the Forced Card (3 of Spades) to Impossible Location are both classic tricks in the world of magic. A great magician no doubt, but why haven't we seen more of him?
That, I liked.
❤
An ITR and a spread force. Big whoop.
Damn he's good
Amazing performance, he has near zero internet presence with virtually nothing since 2001. Where is he, what is he doing? Still alive?
That's what I said! How come we haven't seen or heard of him since?
That's one hell of a disappearing act he's done......
51 3 of Spades and an ace.
I am just a sucker for good sleight of hand and other magic, don't even want to know how it gets done. It just takes you back to a childhood time of innocence and that feeling is worth not knowing. In saying that I kinda want to know how the hell he did that with the dollar bill, just amazing
What did Randall Richman do with the rest of his life. I don’t remember ever hearing his name again anywhere.
I've never heard of him, period!
Well for starters, he made a KZhead channel that you are commenting on. 🤷🏻♂️
Carson should have said” oh there’s a wee bit of magicians thread on this”!🤪
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
He hadda guy under da table wit a deck o' cards. When Ole John named the 3 o' spades, da guy unner da table stuck a nudder 3 o' spades in betwix dis guys' toes. I ain't got shat no idea how the frucker done the dollar levitation, dough.
That dollar trick was done with magnets. It's simular to the floating cigarette trick. The 3 of spades was already in his hands when he threw the deck up, then he slipeed it in between his toes. Just a little Ralph Malph for ya!!
They were all 3 of Spades
Long thin black needle. Nice job].
wow that string was really magic.
I am new to card magic and slight of hand. I actually started practicing during the pandemic. I feel like I can make a guess of how the card trick was done. What's crazy is if I'm right or wrong it doesn''t matter, because this is the definition of mastery
Video was shot in a 4:3 aspect ratio and is butchered in widewscreen,
So a lot of my socks have holes in them too!
I got the card one fuigured out but that dollar bill and glass trick is pretty awesome and I have no idea how he did it. The only thing I can think is magnets somehow but again,,,How?
The card trick was easy to figure out.
Invisible Thread is great...
REGARDING THE CARD TRICK, A SPLIT SECOND EDIT OCCURS AT ABOUT 4:10. JUST BEFORE CARSON PUTS THE #3 CARD BACK IN THE DECK, ANOTHER SLIGHT EDIT CLIP OCCURRED, VERY HARD TO DETECT. SOMETHING FISHY WENT ON THEN. BUT THESE SHOWS WERE AIRED LIVE, BUT WERE LATER EDITED IF NECESSARY, FOR WHATEVER REASONS THAT WERE DETERMINED BY THE PRODUCERS. THE MAGICIAN WALKED OUT IN DRESS SHOES, BUT WAS ABLE TO SLIP OUT THE SHOE ON HIS FOOT THAT WAS GRIPPING THE CARD, WITHOUT BEING DETECTED. WHATEVER WENT ON UNDER THE TABLE DURING THIS TRICK IS THE SECRET TO THE TRICK.
It's funny in high definition and the studio light reflection you can see the magicians string he uses. But this still takes alot of practice and skill
At what footage marker can you see it? I assumed the trick used string, but I couldn't spot it.
@@KZheadallowedmynametobestolen i don't .remember i just paused a few times back and forth
@@drewsquickfix Thanks anyway. I'll take your word for it.
@@KZheadallowedmynametobestolen read.the.other comments I think I said @03:14.
@@drewsquickfix Oh, I think I see it now. Coming off the left side of the crumpled bill, about 2/3 of the way up and extending out from the bill at about a 10 o'clock position. It's visible for about 11 frames. Thanks. Still an amazing trick though, isn't it? The skill in surreptitiously getting the bill entangled in the strings, and even just the engineering of where the strings have to be to be able to cause the bill to travel the paths that it does.
All the cards except the bottom one is a 3 of spades. 3 of spades already in his toe when kicking the deck.
You impressed Johnny? Cuz you sure impressed moi.
What date did this occur?
The real magician was the editor Look at 4:09 his hand are fishing in his pocket camera cuts away he pulls out his deck, left hand under the table and drops the duplicated 3 on the floor or magic string in his pant leg and puts the 3 on his foot out. around 414 look at cut edit 4:11. No way I could have know unless I cheated well clearly He knew the card we never saw the 49 3 of spades in the deck or marked. We all heard him say in his teeth so we would focus there but the his feet so kn one would see it in his toes when kicking
*HE SAID HE IS GOING TO CATCH THE CARD WITH HIS "TEETH" AND WAS A FOOT, WTF?* *WHY DID CARSON HAVE TO TELL HIM THE CARD FIRST?*
I'm guessing that the card was somehow marked, as as soon as Johnny picked it at 4:10, his right hand goes under the table and his left does not come back up until 4:16. I believe this is where the duplicate 3 of spades is planted. Even so, an excellent trick as it is still fast and smooth. Johnny was an amateur magician, an amateur actor, an amateur drummer, but a masterful entertainer.
marking cards is too complicated for the trick, he forced the 3 of spades which makes sure that he doesn't have to fanagle with sleight of hand when loading the card (IE making sure he got the right one). And if you pause when he kicks the cards it's already in his toes. I think you are right with the duplicate card idea.
Johnny downplayed his skills, I assure you he was a master magician, tennis player and drummer. World class! Whatever he did he did very well. Talented, gifted
@@randallrichman4236 Sir, those magic tricks were done so well!!
Last paragraph is very true , still working out the trick but
@@ryanrusch3976 yes. Even if it was marked, he'd have to have 52 cards available to "plant". It has to be a force.
1st trick = wooly nylon thread attached to dollar bill with wax, thread runs from his hair down the front of his face... 2nd trick. =. Card marked on back for Johnny to pick... duplicate card between "Magician's" toes...
It's obvious how you did the card trick! It was magic!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
So funny ... every card in the deck was the three of spades !
I would love to have heard Don Rickles comments about this.
Why don't you go milk a klydsdale!
*LETS SEE BLAINE OR CHRIS ANGEL DO THAT!*
He’s actually an alien from outer space.
Come on the dollar levitation was sixth grade invisible wire. Give me a break!
I can’t believe that first trick was able to get him on TV.
Yea, he would never get away with that string if it was high-Def today. That wa so exciting I think I'm going to......... Too late.
@@tedhardulak7698Where the hell is this string supposed to survive when the glasses are completely enclosing the bill, genius 🙄
@@MadScientist267 Well thank you for acknowledging the genius of seeing this. Fight with someone else. You are So triggered by someone else's view that does not agree with yours. Funny.
@@tedhardulak7698 Lol that's not an explanation 🤦♂️
@@MadScientist267 Pressing two glasses together? Why would you think a string couldn’t ‘survive this? Try pressing two glasses over a sewing thread, the thread will survive. Have you ever used this sort of thread? Magicians rarely do anything without a reason. After rolling up his sleeves why did he take out the pack of cards? Maybe he needed that pack on the table during the trick?
Randall, what has been your career journey been since then?
Nothing short of incredible! First, Johnny had me do magic for all of his rich and famous friends. Then I got to do a couple of world tours... It's amazing what doors open up for a young man after getting a spot like that. Nothing but gratitude, wouldn't change a thing
@@randallrichman4236 I have to believe that it helped with the ladies too.
*Were not all of th cards in the deck the 3 of Spades?*
Check out that sweet sweet mullet.
They are all 3 of spades?
Yeah, I know how he did the last one. He used his toes instead of his teeth. Makes it much easier.
Possible explanation for the dollar bill levitation trick: Not ordinary wine glasses . Telling me they are ordinary does not make it so. Therefore, why not wine glasses that send out an electromagnetic field conducive to the to the fibers in the dollar bill. Other explanation: Television camera trick in which only the audience and Johnny are in on the video effect. As to explaining the card trick, give me time, I'm thinking about it. Right or wrong, matters not, Randall was simply marvellous and impressive indeed!
Soooo much simpler than that. The glasses are ordinary. And there are no magnets. As others have said, you can go into any magic store and buy the thing that makes this trick possible for about $5.
@@gabeabelson6295 Good thinking and point well made.
I can make my poop disappear by using this little handle on the side of the bowl.......
Fishing line
It's a very, very fine thread.
Well, so far, it’s pretty easy to see the dollar bill trade you some kind of wire
Never heard of this guy. I wish Johnny had stayed around long enough to see David Blane during his Street Magic times.
That was real.
You can actually believe Johnny when he says they didn't set anything up. Nowadays they all lie so much you can't believe a word they say.
