Now I understand why all the sponge balls were out of stock
Lol
That missdirection is amazing 😮
Announcer: Next up! Laurent Piron! Janitor: NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Steve Brindley hahahaha
Hahahahahaha
So disappointing that AGT didn't show his full act or even tell us his name! The clip they showed was so interesting, but it was so hard trying to find him online since AGT didn't give any info. Very happy I finally found it! Such a great act!
Good music selection for your act. All of it was great!
fantastic
Fantastic original act, Lovely story and hugely entertaining. Full of surprises.
He just became the world champion of magic!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.

Awesome!
Merveilleuse prestation Laurent! J'adore!
The best magic trick i ever seen
Amazing misdirection. You are awesome
No misdirection involved. Just holds them squished together in his hand.
@@CharlieForEve do you even know what misdirection is? He did use it so watch it again.
GREAT PERFORMANCE....LOVE FROM INDIA
Magnificent!!!!😊👏👏👏👏👏
very beatiful act greetings from argentina
Un monstruo, felicitaciones. 👏👏👏👏👏
I come from Taiwan! I really love your act! Wish you can come to perform in Taiwan!
I love it! Original and fun!
Sponge balls have been around for at least 100 years.
Very cool act.
I love it
Very nice act
Magicians are genius, like how does he crafted this routine to manipulate where I was looking so that he could get away with doing those tricks in plain sight, it's amazing
I saw you on America's Got Talent this season and for some reason they did not reveal your name but I'm so glad I found this video as I wanted to see more of you. I wish they could have shown your full performance.
Why does it take talent to hold a bunch of sponge balls in your hand?
@@CharlieForEve you would know Dan given you've won at FISM multiple times right?
I’ve never been more completely aware of what’s going on with sleight of hand. Incredibly unconvincing.
I agree. His moves were all really obvious. Being on youtube doesn't help either because you can re-watch things and focus on the off-hand.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So easy to sit on ones arse and criticize. Kudos to anyone who attempts creativity. Blecch to lazy pompous critics.
Es increíble este numero a base de pura misdirection aun sabiendo la misdirection logra engañarnos fabuloso me encanto tratare de hacer algo parecido
This guy has got some balls....
Increíble!
Best slights I’ve prob ever seen
VERY CREATIVE WOW, I HAPPY THAN YOU FRIENDLY TALENT
Congrats. Very nice misdirection. I was fooled so often
wow so many sponge balls how did u even get so many :O
Magic store $1 each.
Makes me feel like a child again
Je ne découvre que maintenant ce super moment, merci beaucoup ! Est-ce qu'il existe quelque part des informations sur l'explosion de balles mousses? Pourriez vous me diriger vers un livre/création ? Merci en tout cas, mon fils et moi adorons :)
i like your music . Lemon tree :))))
awesome dancing hank show at Blackpool
4:04 the elbow makes the glass disapper
je hallucine !!!!!
Would be amazing to see him perform on Fool Us :)
This is not sufficient to fool p&t as they can see through his tricks and can identify exactly when he loads the spongeballs.
Actually this is better than just fooling pen and teller this is a piece of art.
These types of tricks usually arent going to fool another well trained magician. This is the type of performance where you more so show off your skills rather than wonder how they did it. Another talented magician is going to see through the tricks pretty easily, but that doesnt mean the performance isnt impressive still.
He definitely had the *balls* to compete in FISM, amirite?
if you want to know how click read more he has the balls tucked into the folds of the umbrella. For the second umbrella, you can see when he takes off his jacket that it's stuck to the inside. When he turned his iPod into a cassette tape it was just a simple flip where the iPod side was drawn on. The spoon has a hinge in it allowing it to fold and there is a thin layer of adhesive on the inside of the can so it sticks. The kettle was just flash paper/cotton connected to a tripwire that activated and broke off when he opened the lid. Him trying to throw out the ball is just an excuse to block the cup with his body while covering it with the can. There's a shelf on the back of the desk he can grab the balls from, the second time the cup vanishes he just bumped it with his arm onto the shelf. On the top of the desk there's a magnetic spot to hold the can in place and a trap door to fill the can. The red ball that is under the kettle that multiplies is hollow and filled with more balls, the more he spreads the hole used to fill it the faster they "multiply" the same thing for the hat and his sleeves. The rain from under the umbrella is done in the same way as before but with a tripwire used to set off flash cotton/paper and tear the hole. if I made any inaccuracy please feel free to correct me
The spoon doesn't has a hinge but he just tucks it backward by his arm, drops it with his right hand behind the table and then lift it up again with his left hand for the reveal. You can even see a glimpse of it in one frame just as the left hands goes from under the table
👍 It must have taken him hours to set up everything ready to start from. And imagine all the cleaning to really find every spongeball that jumped away. 😄
I could see most of his magic tricks. His tricks are very simple but his performance is pretty good
Can you tel me wat he did on 4:49?
@@olivierhenning4185 his hands are all thumbs
@@olivierhenning4185 He puts a fake thumb on at 4:30 from behind the edge of the desk, then again at 4:41 you can see the ball has a slit in it, that must also be filled with smaller balls. So I think from those points he's able to make a load of squished foam balls look like they are coming out of nowhere. EDIT: not to take away from the performance, which was a fun and theatrical act, just a little tightening up to make it fool proof and it would be great.
I agree. I could see all of his moves. The performance was good, though.
Cool
This guy has got a lot of balls!
This guy has balls. Definitely. :)
Figured out almost everything from the act. Just performance technique. Nothing unusual
I want to watch the.video again but youtube said is deleted :c
No.
Ce rendez-vous au 13 rue du hazard fût l'un de nos plus beau souvenir magique. Et revoir ce final nous replonge dans votre univers élégant, poétique, et techniquement irréprochable. Nous avions vu les fameux cups and balls de Charlie Capper au Fringe d'Edimbourg, et quand l'élève égal le maître, il mérite tous les bravos. Vivement le retour sur les planches, le 13 rue du hazard reste en tête des bonnes adresses magiques de notre répertoire. Bravo l'artiste.
I wonder how, I wonder why, this guy didn't use the yellow ball with this song to begin with! I dunno about these kinda acts, just seems like they take one thing and just do it to excess. Ya there were some killer moments but overall it really made no sense. I applaud the effort though. I think this guy single highhandedly is keeping Goshman in business.
Damn how would that cost
Oh I saw how he did that!
Where the hell do all those sponge balls come from lol
Howd he even pay for all those sponge balls
Soo.. What do we call him? Ball magician?
When magaicians leave the same why do then do that little hop?
Oh wow, you have some balls :D
Honestly, I love the starting and ending really much but the cups and ball part was a little bit boring. If you can improve this point it would be a wonder act. By the way really love the way that the sponge balls appear.
Thanks for the comment. I agree with you point on the cups and ball... ;)
your overall act is very clean but there are some moves that I saw on the first run through it still didn't defer from the amazing ness of the whole thing but maybe im just so used to seeing acts with those sponge balls that it gave it away a bit
@@LaurentPiron Every second of this act was pure joy! Thank you! From long time havent seen magic act with such a good presentation! A big nostalgic dose of hapiness! Subscribed with a hope of more :)
미스디렉션 굿
It so good but practice more as you have the principle down
Minuto 4:46 fantastic ❤😱
See his right hand reaching down hidden and moving around trying to find his load? That motion attracts attention - very bad. He can't even reach down without fumbling.
Who the hell is going to clean up that mess?
................
I say not so clean. Because if you watch carefully you can see everything clearly how he was performing all that tricks. Not so Marveilleuse presentation.
no speed
BRUH LEARN TO FILM !!!!!! I'm so pissed at those directors that think their job of filming is more impotant than documenting. As a film maker you're saving a moment, you don't own it.
So ez
He is a fool magician,1) . 1.15 he just turn the audio casset 2)1.45 he takes the ball from down and he keeps in his left hand with three fingers and 1.56 puts the ball in the glass.2.13 he again takes the ball from down and holds in his left hand 1.15 he slowly puts in the glass
Too bad he didn’t do anything with the musical timing. Could have made the act way stronger…
kakkakakkakakakakakka
He needs to work on his misdirection
Manipulation basiques..
vas y monte ton numero tu as surement mieux a proposer
Very poor performance. Your hand movements were slow. I could see you pulling out balls from behind the table. The telephone slided towards the left side when you tried to pick up. Here instead of using your left hand you could push with your body to slide from behind to make it more interesting.
Can you do better?? I don’t think so. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😡😡😡😡
나 뒤에 떨어뜨리는 거 봄ㅋㅋ
Alle Tricks verstanden 🤢
Auf jeden Fall.
Worst slight of hand Ive ever seen!
You think you can do better??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😡
Yikes. This is horrible. If a non-magician like me can see how everything is done, you've got problems.
I see your point, however it is important to note that this routine is meant to be performed live. Where people can’t rewind or be as focused as on a screen. In real performance when he looks at you or looks away it controls your gaze to where it’s supposed to be. It’s meant to direct you attention away from something that’s happening so it’ll be a surprise. Whilst on video you sort of see the whole image at once making this type of routine very hard to demonstrate it’s magnificence.
sehr schwache Vorstellung!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a bunch of sponge balls that squeeze to tiny ones stuffed in his hand and cups, hiding them behind the pitcher to make it disappear. Plus wasting a lot of time walking around acting dumb. Zero skill. We had them as children.
Extremely disappointing !!
Just not good at all
this was so bad...a bunch of amateurish tricks that was badly executed...all the discards and swaps were easily spotted
thank you... looking forward to see some of your work.
Come on now, live you wouldn’t have seen even 1/3 of the switches my first rewind was in the cassette tape he got me because his misdirection was spot on.
