“It could go through my hand and ruin my career” David Blaine sticks ice pick through his hand on a regular basis.
Carlos Spiceywhiener David Blaine’s actually is not a trick. He spent years developing a tunnel of scar tissue through his hand using acupuncture needles, and he really does put an ice pick straight through his hand. It’s not a magic trick, it’s just something he does that’s so crazy that you assume it can’t be real
Carlos Spiceywhiener In most cases, totally with you. In this case, no. It’s been well documented by medical professionals, and David Blaine is neither the only nor the most extreme example. The tunnel of scar tissue is called a fistula, and Dutch performer Mirin Dajo was famously able to pierce himself with swords using a large fistula he’d developed through his torso. David Blaine has developed two fistulae: one through his palm, and one through his arm. Skepticism is important, but Blaine is one case where the truth is genuinely more spectacular than the “trick” itself. I’d encourage you to do some research on the phenomenon rather than call me gullible
Carlos Spiceywhiener Gullibility is believing something without evidence. Ignorance is not believing something while refusing to seek out evidence. This isn’t David Blaine’s word against yours, it’s an extraordinarily well documented situation. It’s not only plausible, it’s fairly common. Do an ounce of research.
Carlos Spiceywhiener I’m not referring to any part of his show, I’m referring to hundreds of documented cases of human piercings through fistulae, which are often exploited by magicians. That IS the trick. Blaine isn’t even close to the only person, magician or not, who can do this. It has been common throughout history, particularly in eastern tradition. Just because a magician does something doesn’t mean it’s a trick. David Blaine, in particular, has done a great deal of impressive things unrelated to his magic career. You’re arguing out of your ass. Watching Blaine’s special and taking his word for it doesn’t constitute research. That’s what actual research is for.
Carlos Spiceywhiener You must go crazy when people get their ears pierced. No way they stick a real needle through the earlobe, it’s gotta be an illusion!
He absolutely nailed that magic trick !
The trick is that theres really a nail in every bag and he conceals the blood.
This is hilarious 💀
No he shows his hand and it would go through
hahahhah
dumbass
Will C don't give it away!
Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
no
+Splinta_Xx Why do people don't get this? I mean they may but, adunno men, this is a palindrome or the other thing.
+Christian Grey Well, tac ocat.
+Christian Grey And "race car"
+Splinta_Xx fuck you you fuck
Gotta give the man extra points for coming up with such an original and creative act. I guess when you go on national television you just gotta pull out all the stops.
It's obvious. He has a time machine. Every time he chooses the wrong one, he goes back in time and tells himself to correct his mistake. This happens until the correct one is chosen.
Seems reasonable

so to get on jimmy fallon, all you have to do is showcase an old trick done by many magicians before? winner!
I know right! This one's old hat! It's been done before.
It's old but still good. I bet younger people have not seen it.
Yeah, I'm sure that I've seen this in Britain's got talent...
+phil chao
Exactly! I thought to myself why dude would go on national TV and do something people have seen so many times.
+Akshat Agrawal can u explain to me how they do it?
I like the idea of throwing a ball to randomly select a participant. That way, it essentially eliminates the possibility that there is a plant in the audience.
All of them had that wood block on the bottom, during the act he took the stick away so that nobody gets hurt and hid it in his arm. In the end he put the stick again in the last bag. Im not even a magician :v
+Lucas Cisneros kinda simple
+Lucas Cisneros but you can clearly see that he grabs the nail when he pulls it out off the bag, and that he didn't hide it in his arm.
also you can keep track of the bag because it has a crease at the bottom. that distinguishes it from the other bags. and it ended up not being chosen
+Lucas Cisneros But how did he remove the stick is the real question
+faboze I dunno honestly. maybe while his back was turned. there are lots of methods for this trick. not sure which one he used.
I saw this trick fail on some breakfast show.....
That was a prank one, it was meant to happen :)
It was real, from what I know. If you can cite a source showing it's fake, I'd be glad. I wish it wasn't real.
Yeah I remember that
It was real! That was polish breakfast show and that woman had hole in her hand. For some time she stopped hosting that show.
Yea! A girl was on it with some guy and the nail pierced through her hand!
I love how happy Jimmy looks when Dan gives him the ball to throw into the audience
you can see jimmy smiling like a little kid
so great
KNOWING HOW THIS TRICK IS DONE, I HAVE TO SAY THIS GUY MADE IT LOOK SEAMLESS. THEREFORE HE IS A GOOD MAGICIAN. WELL DONE MR
None of them had a nail in it. At the end when he opens the last bag he places the nail in the block and pulls it out. Amazing how good his slight of hand is on that last grab.
woow did he becouse if he did So he slight of hand is just amazing
howd he take the nail out at the beginning after jimmy verified it was upright?
Naw the nail was already in there...
All of the bags had a nail in it. TH-cam the review of this trick. It's very common. Stop trying to spread false information
i think he pulled it out when he turned around to "shuffle" them.
"We need a random person". That mf jumped 10 ft in the air 1:53
There is no nail in any bag until he puts it back into the wood at 6:07. Anyone can choose any bag the whole time. It doesn't matter who chooses what.
also noticed his sleeve disappearing into the bag on first sight ... great showmanship, but the trick wasnt the best ... i gotta admit though, that I didn't notice when he removed the nail at first
I think he places it in the middle like that on purpose. People likely won't choose the middle one very often. So it probably works out most of the time that it's the same one, but not always.
memoryhero nope
Every bag had a nail and block of wood in it. The nail fits into a hinge that allows it to sit sideways along the woodblock. So he can press them all down, but the last one she reaches in and puts the nail upright on the hinge as he pulls it out of the bag.
What's up with all the hate. It's called magic "trick" for a reason. Why can't you guys just enjoy the performance for what it is.
I couldn't agree more
I wish to like the comment, but I cannot bring myself to break the 69......also I wholly agree with you
Because David Blain did this "trick" for real while making a rentgen picture of it and this dude is just a cheap version of David
I love how everyone is saying it's an old trick and over done but I'm sitting here extremely entertained because I've never ever seen it done before 🙊🙊🙊
Everyone here is so happy about coming early! But when I do, my girlfriend gets upset!
wow such originality well done good comment
:P
you got it
lol it happens
Daniel He Not anymore :(
Kinda sad how people reacting to magicians nowadays is purely just saying how it's fake and how they did it. That's like commenting on how you knew Leo was not actually getting destroyed by a bear in The Revenant. Just enjoy the act people. Our main goal as magicians is not to convince the world magic is real but to entertain them.
Well said. Let's just enjoy the show and the skill with which the trick is delivered/concealed. Maybe some people will want VAR installed in the future to make sure they are not "tricked". In which case, why do they bother watching in the first place? Apply the same kid logic and Star Wars would have bombed from day one, no?!
Hottest magician ever! Hubba Hubba! 😍😍😍
+MrSir Norway
Lmao you expected magic to be real? L.
Until u saw collins key
+PatsFan5101 what does lmao
+Lulu Al Wahaib laughing my a** off
+Lulu Al Wahaib it means lame-o
david blaine did it better, only cause he actually stuck the needle through his hand
firebaby7 yups..DB is fucking freaking awsome.
I remember the time he sewed his lips shut for a trick..
Carlos Spiceywhiener no he actually sticks it through his hand. He sticks it through a hole kinda like a piercing but is very precise. If he sticks the needle in just a little out of place he can seriously injure himself.
@Carlos Spiceywhiener illusion, mate you're delusional lol, he actually sticks the nail through, he has scar tissue in his hand so he can stick stuff through without blood or pain. Go check it out it's actually very difficult to do
@Carlos Spiceywhiener I don't think, I know, it's biology, go look it up it's very risky but it's real. The only trick is he can't just put it anywhere in his hand there's specific spots that don't have nerve endings
Loved the illusion. Don't know for sure how he did it, but the best guess would be nails in all of the bags laying horizontally. There's a reason for every move he makes. Turning around obviously is his opportunity to lay the upright nail down. At the end it would easy to reposition it vertically. That's also the reason he never reveals what is in every bag at the beginning. I do consider this magic even though we all know it's an illusion. Magic is a form of entertainment which he does brilliantly.
2:40 "As a magician, my hands are my life"
*cough*StephenStrange*cough*
0:54 that nail didn't even touch jimmy, but he still reacted to it strange
Wouldn't you cringe if someone else put your hand over a sharp nail not knowing if they would hurt you.
Picks the bags up a lot & you'd think the heavy one would be the one with the spike?
Yeah but it doesnt matter, everyone else told him which one to pick
That's what he wants you to think,It's all in the wording. If he wants the one you "picked" he'll go with it...if he wants the other one you didn't pick, he'll say "we'll take this one out"
he just removed the spike when he placed it inside of the bag, while there were spikes lying on top of each wooden block.
also all the bags have a block in it (or at least the 2 confirmed) so judging jsut by the weight isn't going to work. The actual answer is the most obvious one, he adds and removes the spike to give the illusion of danger
Lol he just had the spike in his cuff the entire time and placed it on he block when he reached in the bag
you seem confident. but no that can't be because we see him put the nail in the bag and close it
and then turn around to "mix" the bags up. I agree it was in his cuff and he put the nail back in at the very end
Josten Pena nope
SO many people complaining about the oldest boring magic trick...
Well, You can't find any ideas on how this trick works and this is making you try to guest with a lot of crafty ideas that doesn't make any sense. Dan white did an awesome job and he chose that effect for a reason.
I'm a magician and also perform that effect,
let it be and take the hit guys.
You serious? Every bag has its wooden "base". He just took a needle at the beginning and stook it in slight of a (really good slight) hand. The real performance this times is only David Blaine where he actually punctures his hand and makes real doctors to check it with rentgen
All the bags have a pin and a block. The pin is attachable and detachable to that block. The block with the pin he shows us in the starting, has its pin detached and kept horizontally when he places it in just like all other bags. The bag that remains, has its pin attached by him in the end.
There are different versions of this trick depending on whether you use bags or cups and if you let the audience choose or not.
For this performance he used the classic method for bags: each base has a recess to hold the nail down horizontally and all bases have a nail but the magician only shows one with the nail up (in this case he puts the nail but he knew which base was empty, in fact first shows one base but then chooses to put the nail on a different one); when he or the assistant put the nail inside the bag they put the nail down in the recess while their hand is inside; so there won't be no bag with the nail up and it doesn't matter who chooses and in which order; when at the end only one bags remains, the magician replace the nail up as he take the base out of the bag so the audience believes the nail has always been up.
Some people in the comments pointed out that there is a bag with a sign on the bottom that he keeps track of but that is the simplest version of the trick and only works when the magician doesn't let others choose the bags or when he picks who in the audience has to choose (which would be an assistant who knows where the nail is).
But, he has jimmy verify it is upright and closes the bag immediately. I still don’t see a way for him to get the nail out of the upright position after that.
@@alexgeorge9533 I think he does it when he shuffles the bags and turn his back to the audience. The ability of a magician is to do these things in a very subtle way but that's the trick.
Another version is to use bases with magnets and the magician will never actually leave the nail inside and when he opens the remaining bag he would put the nail, but that requires much more hand work to conceal the nail and I don't think he used it because his hands are always quite visible
I think he lays the nail down when he shuffles bag. but man when he is so skilled at the end to put the nail upright again so seamlessly, it really looks like he just reaches in and grabs it out.
@@Jay-zr2cm -- But that's the skill of magicians, isn't it? WE don't even think about perfecting a skill like putting our hand in a bag and quickly making a nail upright - but that's his JOB and he spends HOURS, DAYS, MONTHS honing that particular skill, to make it look like he's not even doing what we KNOW he must be doing in order for the trick to even be real.
@@jondunmore4268 100% !
I think the nail was in on this one...
nizamm ; yups..untill at 6:09 - when he put back the nail in the last bag.
Magician shows us there is a block in every bag. Magician then shows himself putting a nail in a block. Magician puts nail with block back in bag. In that instant however, with his hand hiding inside the bad, he takes out the nail and puts it lying down on the block. He shuffles the bags but what the audience does not know is that there is a nail lying on a block in EVERY bag. So he fearlessly slams every bag until there is one remaining. Then he puts his hand in the bag, reattaches the nail to the block, and then lifts it up out of the bag as if it were always standing upright all along.
No human is fast enough to attach the nail to the block of wood that fast. I would know since I perform this in my Magic Vlog #1 video and I can assure you they are a pain the ass to fit into the block of wood. I can also assure you I know the real method to the trick and this isn't even remotely close.
_Schrödinger Cat Experiment_ but with a big nail in the bag.
5:32 Hahaha that was great
Sleight of hand, the nail is added as he pulls the block out. Played it a thousand times to see how he did it, you can almost see him prepare just as he places the hand inside, but he's so fucking good he does it all in one motion.
Magnetic spike that he detaches as he drops it in the bag, then reattaches at the end when reaching back into the bag? I dunno. That's my guess.
I really want to see that nail, detach into that tiny piece of wood😅😂
No, each bag contains nails. When he shows the bag at the beginning he just shows the bottom of the wooden box with a nail. Nails are not hard. When you thump it, it shrinks. The apple has a hole in the middle, that's why it goes through the nail so easily.
Woman behind the man at 1:58 was like, "Ah--I had it--no--well, ok."
lol who cares about the trick! I love these because when Jimmy is unscripted or lost, he is a completely different person. he's more himself. it's adorable.
Removed the spike when he shuffled and turned his back on the audience, placed the spike back in when he "took it out".
You should have Apollo Robins on the show!!!
+Marcela Ortiz So who agrees????
+Marcela Ortiz Who gives a shit?
andreas Larsson I have no idea, Who? Who does give a sh*t? I guess we all do, i mean w al poop
Well aside from the haters who just want to insult people, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
Nickolas Bell YEIII
There's a nail in every bag.
what do you mean there is a nail in every bag? he just proofed there wasn't
+Julen Ibarrondo i still am can you tell me what that means?
Yes, you are absolutely right bro. and I think each bag contains robotic nail..
06:15 the bag has a hole in the top of it ??!?
i like you
The trick is that all of the bags have a nail on top of the wood block. When he puts the spike into the hole and put the block back into the bag. He takes the spike out of the hole and lays in on the wood. Once the last bag is chosen. He quickly puts the nail back into the hole when he reaches for it.
All of the nails are laid down on the wood block
How did he lay the nail down in the bag he put the first nail in, if Jimmy said it was upright?
+Emily Farries he did it while he was mixing up the bags
Every magician do their own trick to make it look more believable. He used slight of hand when he was mixing the bag. But that's the general concept of the trick. It's a pretty common trick
I agree that every bag having a nail would be ideal. However, if that was the case and he removed the nail from the one he was demonstrating before closing the bag then he could have had jimmy mix all the bags, turn them around and even insist on not touching them to ensure he doesn't mark one. Then for the final bag, reach in, place the nail in the hole and pull it out and you're a bigger hero.
At 4:34 he picks the last two bags up, and can feel the weight of the block in the bag. After that, I think he manipulates Jimmy into choosing the correct bag.
i noticed that too but what about before that tho
Wolę wersję pana Ząbka. Większe emocje. :D
the nail was under his sleeve the whole time and put it on the wooden block in the end, the wooden blocks have magnets in them to hold anything medal.
Mohamed AL sudani that’s how I perform this trick for my nephews and younger cousins
while he was folding the bags... he folded and unfolded all of them once except for the one with the nail 😂😂
I've seen this a few times. David Blaine did the same trick and even used the same line "My hands are my life" but he went a step further and actually stuck the pin through his hand, so yeah!
These tricks always become a success, I wanna see one fail 😂😂😂
watch?v=qTR7qL5Ii8o
th-cam.com/video/n36ypycfBsk/w-d-xo.html
Answer to the trick: The nails can be attached and detached from the blocks. So every single bag has a block and a detached nail. In the bag in which he actually puts the nail in the block and verifies with Jimmy to see if it is upright, he detaches the nail once he is closing the bag and shuffling it (He held on to the nail with the bag over it, like his hand was over the part of the bag with the nail). He then slams every bag. For the last bag he just attaches it as he is reaching in to get it. Otherwise he could have simply just empty the bag out by tipping over the bag, which he didn't. He had to reach his hand in. The way the nail attaches to the wood is probably by a magnet, as well as a small hole, so that it is done both quickly and securely.
I don't think this is done using the normal method of spikes at the bottom of all bags and sleight of hand taking the nail out. First, the final bag IS the exact bag he put the spike in, you can tell by a slight crease on the bottom edge that other bags don't have. Second, Jimmy checks the bag before it's closed and he doesn't put his hand in it before closing it. Watching at .25 speed, that bag is out of sight for half a second, but Jimmy would see if he tilted the bag. His hand also doesn't go deep enough into the bag to replace the nail.
I really think this is mentalism rather than sleight of hand. He knows which bag has the nail and he words his questions carefully so it always gives him an out. He doesn't ask the first two audience members which bag the nail is in, he asks them to pick a bag by number. The final two bags, he has Jimmy pick one, and if Jimmy picks the unsafe one, he smashes his own hand on the other one.
What about when jimmy switched them? He could of switched it to where he doesn't know where it is
MeiWebbify I can follow the bag by its apperance, so can Dan White. There are dozens of ways to mark the bags.
***** There's a reason he puts Jimmy in "danger" by having him hold the hand over the final bag - if Jimmy picks the actually dangerous one, Dan can say something like "OK, that's your bag, this one's mine." Maybe add some patter about who goes first, then he volunteers to go first and hits the bag without a nail. Now everyone's focused on Jimmy almost getting his hand impaled.
You're the only one to figure it out everybody else is still stuck on that other idea...bravo!
Nope
David Blaine would have just actually spiked his hand as a jump scare. lmao
I think he felt the bags when he was "moving them"
But...the audience chose...idfk
was waiting for another Fallon Hurt hand to talk about for weeks.
its easy, he removes the nail when he circles at first, in the end when he puts the hand inside the bag and reveals, he really puts the nail into the wood, thats why they wear long sleeves all the time
Yes! This is the only explanation that makes sense to me.
Gary Lowell Thayer It's the actual explanation, haha. If you look at the corners of each bag you tell that there's a block of wood in each one.
Nope
Nikolai edward i agree. but the original bad that had nail in it was diffferent from other bags and the bag was not selected
There is a block and a loose nail in every bag. When he puts the block in, he slips the nail out of the hole. When he puts his hand in the last bag, he places the loose nail in the block before removing it from the bag.
He switched when the ball got thrown
yea of course he did
+abacada seesyou well, really, at the beginning when he was folding them. He left that one unfolded. Just so he could know.
Huh
EVERY BAG HAS A NAIL , He just put it on at the final one.
To everyone complaining that it is the "oldest trick ever"....just enjoy the Entertainment goddammit. No shit Sherlocks, he isn't a real magician we all know!!!!!!
You're conflating issues. This is an overdone trick that's what the main complaint is. It's not original or creative. It'd be like a gymnast busting out a cartwheel for her routine. The other issue you mentioned is completely seperate no one is claiming that magic is real. We're claiming there's a lack of creativity and newness here.
+Nelly Searson
The problem is that it wasn't entertaining. At all.
+mikecantreed Yeah but anyone can do a cartwheel unless you're fat or in a wheel chair. I can guarantee you and 98% of the people in the comment section don't know how this trick is done.
It's not even that it was the oldest trick ever... But at least he could put his own spin on it. But no. Even the exact same jokes I seen a few others do. Lame showing for such a big stage.
+Nelly Searson there a few vids out there were this tricks goes wrong.. ouch.
His shaking hand makes it more real even if we all know it is a trick and ends ok.
2:45 a witch in the building
😂
You can watch from the very beginning. There is an extra crease on the bottom of the bag that has the nail in it and that is exactly the same bag that has the nail in it at the end.
Poor fruit. It didn't deserve to die like that..
Dam vegans...
+ThatOneStuff vejans? What's that?
who is not eating meet, only fruits and vegetables
And I am like:: no no bro...please don't do it!!.. Forget the magic lol
I knew it was that bag the whole time because it had the little crease at the very bottom as it did before he mixed them up.
Either way, he is still so handsome!
Yes!!! I saw that too I was about to comment this myself.
im with you, then it means the 2 audience members and jimmy were in, is just that..... they must know how to throw that ball really really well
+mougabo W
You should have done it then if you're that smart.
She's right, it's the obvious trick.
There is a nail in every bag. They arent held in besides a little angled circle for the head. When he lowers his hand down he shifts it a little to topple the nail over.
Nope not even close.
4:34 Here is the "trick"
5:29 Jimmy was actually about to do the last one, even though it ended up being a joke. Good man.
This is 1, this is 2, this is 3, this is 4, this is 5.
Sir, name a number
Guy with the ball: 6
all of them had a nail..the way he pushed down was the method.
No😂 when he was switching the bags he took the nail out. None of the bags had the nail. When he got the wooden thing and the nail out of the last bag he put the nail back.
+victor reyes dumbest guess ever..
Wait...
+Maddy Mata No but nice guess.
+Relijun Steenx A lot of magicians gives away tricks, lol. Even Pen and Teller quite often. But not super advanced and mystifying ones of course... well, they could be to some.
watching the Magic videos just to see jimmy freak out
Was expecting him to pull a David Blaine and put the nail through his hand. Oh well, this will have to do lol.
This Trick is all about tricking the mind to chose what you want them to chose (When i say this the bags will stay 1-5 no matter what so it's easier to explain) When he switched the bags with the blocks in them at the beginning behind his back, he made sure that the spiked block bag was in the middle (Yes the REAL spike was in the bag the whole time) when he switched the two bags after he placed them down (Bags 1 and 2) it caused the audience to think the spike was in one of those two bags (The first guy chose bag 2) after that it was a matter of luck (Second guy chose bag 4 which was safe, jimmy chose bag 1 then bag 5) (If any of these people chose bag 3 he would've asked another audience member if they would like to keep it or switch the bag and since this is a mind game the audience member would unknowingly want to switch it)
If you notice the last bag to be crushed. The top of that bag was the only one that had a wrinkle in it's top to indicate where the nail was. While the other bags tops were smooth. Slight bend in the paper to give way where the nail was. Too easy to figure out.
Every single comment is negative. You're all jerks.
+Neil Richardson LOL! You're a jerk for calling people jerks!
+Stringy Fingers but YOUR a jerk for calling HIM a jerk lol
He stole the trick he deserves it
+Rafa rafita Jerk means wank
+Rafa rafita Did he claim it was his? did he teach it? Did he modify a old trick and make it better? THE ANSWERS(NO NO YES)
“So I have to ask you: Deal or no deal?”
So people think they know how its done or are like its all with the bags. Nope i want you guys to watch it again and keep an eye on his ring when he hovers over the bag.
Soical Nerd lmao it's just the lighting reflecting
That's not the method. I perform this effect in my Magic Vlog #1 video and I don't wear any ring.
Those PK rings aren't that powerful to detect the nail in the bag. There's another method behind this trick.
Dan White "nailed it"! I wish he would have shown the nail being hammered into the block of wood just to prove to people in the comment section below they don't really know how it is done. Very entertaining performance!
He definitely Nailed It. His bff Scott said so.
This is what David Blaine did
....sort of....David Blaine end this trick by putting the pick trough his hand....not by being all drammatic and putting that poor aplle on the pick......
and that is why David Blaine is the best
David Blaine said that he penetrated his hand with that spike so many times that his arteries or vaynes do not run through that guide he created in his arm. I don't think that anybody can do that just by watching a video or reading a book.
sharpy dot/mark on the one with the nail on the lip/fold. also a crease a bit to the right of center of the lip fold. Good way to keep track to keep your digits! also when jimmy was holding his wrist navigating, jimmy WAS moving toward the middle bag (the one with the nail) and the magician had to guide jimmy back to the one on the left... using the words ' no pressure' as if to say 'okay relax, stay here' - excellent crowd and assistant control!!
6:16 pfft what a liar his hand's not an apple
The bag with the nail was marked with an extra crease. He tracked it with the monitor. Jimmy Fallon was in on the trick. Notice when Jimmy has his hands over the bags deciding which of the two to pick he looks over to the side at I assume a production assistant and ask which is safe.
I think this trick is about the power of suggestion. What he says to the audience, they do.
It's nothing to do with the spike.
Connie Powell actually it's just simple slight of hand. He removed the nail at the start then placed it back in at the end
Youre all wrong
While his back is to the audience mixing up the bags, he takes out an empty bag from his coat and replaces the one with a nail in it with the empty one
And then while the camera is facing the audience, he quickly switches the back with a nail back with The empty one
I was going to say that he nailed it, but fortunately not really!
Must be coincidental, but the last bag was actually the bag the initial spike was put into. Notice the crease at the bottom right of the bag at 1:01 and the same at 6:07.
He knew which one it was because he kept moving the bags over
I know this trick. There is a pin in every pack but they are not attached to the block, he just kept it there along with the blocks. When he attached on pin to the block and was shuffling it without anybody looking, he took off the pin from the block and just placed it alongside the block in the packet. So none of the packets hurt him. In the end when he was taking out the block, he put the pin inside the block when they were still in the packet and took them out as if they were attached together.
Sanjog Wayne nope
Can some 1 tell me how he did it ? :
this is my thought on it . he took off or reblaced the nail or the whole bag when he did the mixing thing . and the whole game there was no nail in any bag , and at the end he does not let jiimy open the nail bag . he do it him self to placed the nail back on the wood thing .
and i think its rigged maybe with a magent inside it ,soi that only the nail slide from his underarm it stand up on the board.
he also was scread of the viwers in home that means the camera and slow motion stuff that could expose any fast hand tricks .
Two piece nail, 1-magnetic head in wood 2-nail without head. When he takes bags, he detach nail from magnetic head. At end he reaching nail and attaching to magnet and lifts up.
i figured it out after 5 years.
that nail-
is a paid actor
All the people trying to be Sherlock in the comments😂
The nail wasn't in his sleeve people, it was in the bag's fold. You can see him grab it at the end.
Hahaha, they tried to recreate it in Poland in morning tv show but unfortunately it didnt work XD
Hole and a magnet in each of the wooden blocks... he pulls out the nail while his back is turned and palms it back in (where the magnets snap it in place) when he goes in to remove the last block. The skill is in palming the nail in and out of the bag quickly and without being seen.
Pablo Garcia nope
Kinda wanted him to have a nail in his hand
"Jimmy it's your turn." The look on his face...
Most over done trick in magician history
I believe the most over done trick is pick a card any card xD
no, that's the quarter behind your earn or GOT YOUR NOSE!
+osskeet both classics
+ZAC115TV except there's literally hundreds of thousand of tricks that start like that.
+Plague Doc That's why I'm a huge fan of Derren Brown.
The man has a ring, the ring has a small magnet sufficient in order for him to always know where the nail is...
Come on people! It's obvious that this magician, like myself, had a tragic accident where his hand (and possibly his arm) was severed. From then it's easy. Get an artificial limb, probably made of adamantium, and smash the shit out of the nails (all the bags have nails, thus he never used jimmy's hand). Upon contact, the nails are crunched and/or pulverized, and ta-da!
I know I am late but all the comments are wrong. Seen this trick done and explained a good time ago, its just normal done with styrofoam cups. The nail stays inside the bag from the beginning. The bag he puts the nail in is just marked in some way on his and Jimmy's side. He keeps checking for the mark, for example at 4:24 he glances at the bag with the nail in it to make sure hes not gonna stab his hand.
