This video has literally been years in the making, and it’s taken me the most time to create compared to any video on my channel. I really hope you like it! This routine is adapted from a talk I gave alongside Barbara Schildkrout, MD, and Kathy Niu, MD, at the 2021 Annual American Neuropsychiatric Association (ANPA) Conference. I’ve covered far more topics (in slightly less technical detail) in this version.

    • @@frenstcht I disagree, unless you misspoke. Did you mean "When a magician tells you how it's done, then does it, but you still can't see it, it enhances the magic."? In my opinion as well as that of the author, any time you can and do see the causality (method of the trick), that means no magic wonder for you. So it does not enhance the magic. On the other hand, if they tell you how they will do it and do it but you can't catch the mechanics anyway, that makes it no less exciting. My bet is they are not doing it the way they tell you they will, even though their explanation sounds plausible. I have seen that kind of magic trick. Another form of misdirection, basically. I think you mean like this where he still fools the audience. Check this one out. kzhead.info/sun/mctpc6dxcJqMfnA/bejne.html

    • @@nutbag We'll have to disagree on that. I don't get a sense of magic wonder from magic tricks, so there's no way that it can enhance the experience. I don't wonder how they did it. I don't like the patter. Being able to see and appreciate the skill _per se_ is where the real enjoyment is. If a magician has to add another layer of misdirection with a false explanation, then the magician just isn't good enough.

  • The initial condition - final condition part takes me back to an embarrassing trick I've performed for my friends a couple of days ago. It was a "lazy man's card trick" and I was drunk. They've randomly selected a card, then cut the deck and passed it for a couple of minutes between spectators while I was waiting for the right moment to finish the trick. When I finally was ready to reveal their card and asked "what was your card", it turned out they didn't know. I forgot to ask them to actually look at the card, so the whole trick turned into a pointless group process of shuffling the deck. They've called it team building.

  • Performed magic my whole life. I often talk about my desire to have people enjoy magic as an art form, not as "trickery." It is not about how a trick is done, but rather how a trick is performed. Honestly probably my new favorite video on magic ever. Well done!

  • One of the reasons I started practicing card magic is the psychology behind all of it. I find it amazing how easy and simple people are fooled and how some of the tricks like hand gestures or mixing true false statements alter the memory of the participants. A good example of directing attention away is that typically your spectator looks where you are looking. I look at my hands and the deck of cards and they burn my hands with their eyes yet the second i seem to relax my hands and look up at their faces they automatically look up as well.

  • In college I had a logic professor who often indulged my quirks (like allowing me to "hijack" the class and teach the recap part of the lecture in "pirate speak" on international talk like a pirate day or just generally cutting in with questions, comments, and jokes throughout the classes) and my classmates mostly seemed to enjoy (and benefit from) my antics as well. Prior to our final one semester, while the test booklets were being handed out, she allowed me command of the class to do a magic trick. I did the hand flipping over thing with the interlocked fingers (the second demonstration done in the video), got the whole class to destress instantly. Prof later told me that the class did a full letter grade better nearly across the board than this class had done on previous exams and quizzes (as in almost every student who wasn't already getting A's went up a letter) and that the class overall scored an A- average, which was significantly better than previous classes to take that course usually did on that exam. She said she credits the former to my magic trick, and the latter to my presence in the class throughout the semester. Other students also credited me for their success (one guy even told me that I was the only reason he bothered to wake up for the 9 am lecture three days a week, I hope that was an exaggeration) because when I asked questions or made comments they almost always helped to clarify things that they might not have otherwise understood (part of the reason I do that) and my jokes kept the lectures engaging which enabled them to focus better on the material. I always found learning is better done when it is interactive, so I try to interact with lectures whenever I'm permitted to do so, and studies have shown that students perform better on tests and exams if they distract their mind with something entertaining or interesting immediately before the test to essentially force a reboot (kinda like how a computer is usually faster after you turn it off and on again, even if you are doing the same thing before and after), and as a magician I like doing a magic trick before a major test both to do the reset for myself, but also anyone else willing to put away the books a minute or two earlier than they might otherwise have done so to help them out as well.

Learning, should be fun and with methodical variety, in this way it is less easy to forget...rendering the content and process more penetrating, easier to ingest and likely to be retained throughout a lifetime.

Even after this entire video literally explaining why magic works and covering very well most of the reasons, the trick you performed in level 10 is far beyond my comprehension, I cannot possibly fathom HOW it was done, even if you explained it to me I would probably be confused.

  • When I was a kid-- I always picked up on magic tricks being done faster than those around me. Little did I know that was due to my persistent vigilance and ADHD. Being neuroscientist made me a WEE bit more perceptive to the tricks of the trade. Despite being able to pick up on things-- I still delighted in learning about them. I found the 'magic' fascinating, but I also wondered if there was a neurological aspect to it as well. Now I'm happily an amateur magician and HUGE science nerd. Magic had a part in that.

  • 7:00 The fact that the colors of the suits were reversed all the time went completely unnoticed because we saw red and black suits and had no reason to examine them closely because we all assumed they were the correct colors. I had to go back and look at the spread to realize the colors were reversed. 15:00 Shuffling the red deck, cutting the blue deck, and then shuffling the red deck again really masked what you did. When you later claimed to have shuffled both decks, we all remember seeing two shuffles but not the fact that it was the red deck both times. These misdirections combined with skilled manipulation of cards and other objects really make for very powerful magical effects. 18:36 I enjoy learning some tricks, but there are many that I never want to understand, because, as you said, I do not want to lose the wonder and amazement of magic. I also love the magicians who fool Penn and Teller, because it is a shared experience, not only were we were fooled, but the Magician was so skilled that Penn and Teller were fooled right along with us.

      @Formalec@Formalec Жыл бұрын
    • @@Formalec Spoiler alert, I am going to tell you how it is done. if you don't want the trick ruined, do not read any further. First you must buy a deck where the colors of the suits are reversed, Spades and Clubs are red, Hearts and Diamonds are black. You need a second deck which is double printed, that is there are face cards on both sides. Since the decks are printed with random faces, you need to find a card with identical faces on both sides. In this case he used a card with the Joker printed on both sides, you will probably have something else, it does not matter as long the two sides are identical. If you do not want to spend the money on the second deck, you can stick two identical cards from two decks back-to-back. Jokers are a good choice because the rest of your deck is still usable. If you do this, you are going to have to practice lifting and turning four cards, although the stuck together cards makes it a little easier. Choose any card with a red suit from your regular deck and the matching card with the black suit from you magic deck. He loaded his deck with the double-sided Joker on top, then the black ace of hearts face up underneath it. Notice how he casually placed the red Ace of Hearts on the deck as he spoke. Then when he turned it over, he did a triple lift, that is he turned three cards as if they were one. That puts the black Ace of Hearts face down on top, the double Joker is turned over but still showing a joker, and the red Ace of Hearts in now underneath the Joker. The card he places face down on the table is the black Ace of Hearts. We still see the Joker on the deck, so it looks like nothing fishy has happened. All that is left is the reveal where we see the red ink of the Heart has magically transformed into black ink. Double, triple and in some cases quadruple lifts are time-honored ways to do transformations and are a staple in the Magician's bag of tricks.

  • Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Daniel. Magic fascinated me when I was very young but I did not pursue it... but I did pursue some basic level of study of human psychology and perception in my spare time and you are correct in that knowing about our perceptive frailties is both fascinating and "eye-opening." Great video!

  • I'm just gonna say that I'm super impressed by how quickly you were able to shuffle that well and accurately. I don't want to give away anything, so I'm not gonna explain what I mean, but definitely impressive. I could also be wrong, so even if I do give away my thoughts, I'm not sure if it's how the trick was done, but it's what makes the most sense to me

  • It's a wonderful thing to witness a magician at work. And in the end I believe it all comes down to suspending your disbelief. For example I'm a very careful and suspecting guy, I always wish to understand, and while I'm guessing Daniel is doing something when he tells us to look at that card and remember it, playing along is also part of the experience. And then I marvel at "how the hell did he do that", because the how doesn't matter. I simply love magic, because even when you know the "why", just like in pro wrestling, only the journey matters! Thank you Daniel for delivering knowledge and wonder at the same time

  • Don't read my comment if you don't want part 10 spoiled For part 10, the giveaway for me was that the sound of you cutting the deck at the beginning of the video was the sound of a lot of cards scraping together, and even though you hid the visual part of undoing the shuffle really well, you didn't have much of a way to hide the sound. This made it pretty obvious that you interlaced the red cards, and then pulled them back apart. There are probably some ways to fix this, like maybe cutting the blue deck first and intentionally scraping the cards against each other to force the audience into hearing that sound before it's a giveaway for the fake cut of the red cards. I'd imagine that this similar flaw exists with a lot of card tricks, and it actually made the video more interesting to me because of how well planned each modification to the red deck was. I especially like how you lied about shuffling both decks, then explained that you told a partial truth in only cutting the blue deck and actually shuffling both decks, but you lied about shuffling the blue deck, but you actually lied about shuffling the red deck too and used this guise of explaining the trick to make it almost undeniable that you'd faked the red deck shuffle too. Trick the viewer into thinking you've tricked them with just one deck, when you've actually done it for both.

  • I have an old magician friend (Howie Marmer) who stayed with us at my friends' house once, and we were having beers one night and he was showing me about "dowsing." He asked me to take something out of my pocket and mark it (it was a guitar pick-my only at the time, and kind of an unusual one) and then hide it in the (large 5-bed) house somewhere that night, and he'd find it within 24 hours, and give it back. I hid it well, jamming it under a TV stand, after everyone else went to bed, got up the next day, having forgotten about it, went for coffee, and when I came back home, there it was on my desk, my own mark and all. I still don't know how he did that and kind of don't want to know. It was brilliant.

The pace (You skipped that one) was fast enough that I couldn't process the information I actually did notice - and recall - until long after the trick, and the video, was complete. Thank you for a really fun 20 minutes.

  • This is a perfect video about magic, and the explanation at the end of this video (along with your definition of magic, which I'd never heard before but love) was incredible. It is really important for people to be aware of these techniques, but not just for magic. News, advertisements, politicians, and many other areas of every day life are clueing in to these exact same principles and using them to push their own agendas. Society actually NEEDS to be taught these things so we can be more self aware and be in control of our own lives more and more. Thank you!

    • You have a good point but it's sadly not possible. Magic works specifically because humans are human. As long as human nature is a thing, those skilled with deception will always find a way. It's a very intriguing idea in the land of fantasy, but very dark when it comes to practice. And yet that is the world we live in.

  • I watched the video again for level 10. I needed to find out how you did all this. And I got it. The only real shuffles of the deck were those 2 in the beginning and the 3rd one before finding the 2 of hearts. All those shuffles were perfect and brought the deck back in perfect order. Then every cut u did was a false cut and all those stuff you did was just details so that we don't notice you pulled the cards from the top. But again I congratulate you on your ability to do all those stuff and not being noticed by others easily. It's just ingenious and incredibly awesome. We done 🎉🎉🎉
