Ive honestly never seen another human being this much joy to every situation.
not being able to see the uglieness of mankind has to be bliss
Metaphors are especially opaque to blind people... what?
Fraxton You don't need eyes to be aware of that, your ears are more than enough.
Just because someone is blind, it doesn't mean they're naive...
Lanzy No, I did not mean to imply that. He's a smart and intuitive guy. I just love how much he loves everything.
"Catherine gave me the finger" lol that got me
TheKawaiifan Tommy always coming at you with a joke.
I actually LOL'd at that, haha!
for a sighted person, these tricks are very easy to tell whats going on, as others have commented. but for someone who can't see and has never been able to experience magic tricks, it must really be something special. im so glad he enjoyed it so much
I'm sighted and idk know wtf is going on.. 😂
Oh cmon. Even sighted people are pretty blown away, don't be a cocky a hole.
These videos are great. Tommy has such a great sense of humor and is extremely comedic... I love the answers he gives to the questions asked...
"It worked like crazy!" My favorite thing he says
This video worked... it worked like crazy!
He's one of the most joyous people I've seen in a long time, his smile is very infectious keep the great work up Tommy!
I agree! I love his videos. reminds me to smile more!!!
Nimmer thePaintPagan honestly! :)
This guy should be a stand-up comedian :D
Funny Shorts ik ay
Funny Shorts he would be a comedian, but unfortunately there is an 'i' in comedian.
Or,,,,,, a youtuber!
These videos always crack me up. You have so much charisma. I feel like you'd be a good man on the street for a late night talk show. You could go to different places and interview different people.
MAKE IT HAPPEN, LENO LETTERMAN FALLON KIMMEL
this guy should do standup hes so fucking hilarious
Awesome! I was a bit sad when you (Tommy) said that magic wouldn't work and now I'm glad that you enjoyed some of it. This was great! I'm glad you had fun with it.
Well done to these guys for coming up with tricks that would work for the blind! I didn't think it would be possible!
I'm glad you got to experience that Tommy! What fun! :)
I feel really happy for him, finally experienced some magic
I love that they contacted him!!! this is great!!
These tricks worked like crazy for me too! And I always love to hear Tommy's jokes.
This is adorable. You're adorable, Tommy :)
Will there be an extended version of this episode?
Awesome!
Only 2 tricks?! More pls!!!
I think it's because Tommy likes to keep his videos short C:
Tommy, never stop uploading videos to this channel. You never cease to brighten my day, even if it's already a good one.
I actually smiled over the fact that he enjoyed that👍
Pity he can't see how well she is interacting with him.
Syph1l1S So that's what you got out of this video?
This was such a treat - watching you experience magic for the first time was, well, magical. Major props to Misty and Chad for making this happen, and to you, Tommy, for being such a good sport!
Great stuff!
When I was in my early 20s I had a friend who had an exceptionally ditzy younger sister. She was applying for colleges and I sarcastically told her to put on her college applications that for community service she read to the deaf and did magic tricks for the blind. She didn't get it was a joke and actually submitted it. My friends parents were pissed off at me for a good year 😂
This is seriously one of my favourite channels on youtube. He's so loveable.
You're awesome. Love your sense of humor and I'm happy that you got the chance to experience some magic tricks
This is such a pure video.
Your amazing tommy such a happy chappy
Hey Tommy! I met you briefly at Vidcon and you asked me if I had questions. Of course, at the time, I couldn't think of anything, but I have a question that has bothered me ever since. As someone who is a big museum nerd, I was wondering what museums are like for the visually impaired. You can't really touch things like a T-Rex skeleton, but are there any exhibits that are friendly to the blind??
I have seen a few museums that did have exhibits for the blind, like fossils that can be touched and so on. At the Met in NYC they had an ancient Egyptian statue that blind people had permission to touch. As a sighted person I was a little jealous that they got to do that! I've also been to an aquarium that had bronze 3d models of all the fish and animals next to each tank so you could feel the shape of what was in there even if you couldn't see it.
2:06 "I see" , best troll ever made in front of blind people... XD
Lol, but isn't he blind too? :P
I'm aware of that, its pointless to explain what I meant at this point.
maybe we are blind too and we just don't get it OO that world is crazy :D
That's deep.
Wavestride No, the Magician is not blind. He is called a "blind magician" because he is practiced in magic for the blind.
Very Nice.
I want so much more of this. I honestly would watch all of your unseen footage.
Thanks for posting this awesome video Tommy. I am glad you were able to experience magic.
Oh my gosh this video made me so so incredibly happy. The people at Magic Castle are awesome for giving Tommy this opportunity and I loved how enthusiastic Tommy was. Seeing his happiness made me happy :) Not to mention, I now know that there are magic tricks for blind people!
His face when the magician did the rope through neck trick, it fills my heart with joy!
"Katherine gave me the finger" hahahaha holy shit I can't stop laughing! You are great Tommy.
This video was amazing! Great job Tommy and Ben! Nice to see some actual magic tricks that works for blind people :)
I was so glad he finally got a chance to understand how stage magic works! Kudos to the Magic Castle!
Am i the only person here who just loves to see him happy :) ...
When they said blind magician I was really confused, but then I realized that he was a magician for blind people. Facepalm
thank you for explaining that to me :/
+Astronautical The page says that he himself is blind. So a blind magician.
Oohhhh... That makes sense...
+anne m ya, notice when he goes to grab the two ropes back from tom, he pinches the air a couple times feeling for them. i think he can see, just very poorly.
I never realized he was a magician for the blind until I read this comment
the rope trick looked really cool, would like to actually learn it some day :)
I am very happy to see you enjoy magic! You should make it into a mini series "Tommy enjoys magic for the blind".
I love this! I can't stop smiling!
Me too! :)
Tommy its a weird thing to say here, but seeing your reaction was amazing it reminds me of when I was a kid and seeing it for the first time. Very cool man.
I know how these worked, simple stuff but his reactions are just perfect.
Never thought i could enjoy someone enjoying something
That was so much fun to watch. I hope there is more footage from your trip that we will be able to see.
Watching these videos are always so great.
Hi Tommy, i have discovered your channel few days ago and i think i have watched most of your videos, i think you are an awesome man, and i'm totally impressed about you and your way of dealing with life. You should have much more subscribes. I have a question for You. What do you think about other languages? is there are a language you love the most or is there a language you hate the most? Greeting from Poland! Keep working, i really love your channel.
You can tell his reactions and his jokes comes straight from the heart haha
Magic is about cheating your sensations. Think chemistry: try cornstarch with water and punch and smack it. Then gentle submerge your hand in the mix. Some one add a back up story or narration through the feelings such as "this mix can perceive your hate when you punch it but when you think positive and kind things it allows you to submerge your hand" something on those lines to cheat with his imagination too. That's what magic is about. There are so many tricks that can be done with basic chemistry. Have fun Tommy!
This is awesome. I love magic performances! Glad Tommy was able to enjoy the magic. Although if those were human bones ewwww! Lol.
I would like to know Tommy's thoughts on deaf people and how he could communicate with them.
Well, you're lucky, because Tommy made a video on that since you commented C:
I'm really glad you can experience some of these tricks. Good for you Tommy! :D
I love your videos. You are great and you make me laugh. You brighten my day with the funny!
Nice job! Great video as always.
This is so amazing. Seriously.
Amazing! Love your videos!
I love your sense of humor. You really inspire me and make my day brighter :)
I have an idea for a cool prank. You stand outside wearing sunglasses, no cane and when a pretty woman walks past you say "you're a really beautiful woman" and when she says thank you, you hit her with "I'm blind by the way" lol...ok maybe that's a little too mean haha
very funny and entertaining!! keep these videos coming!!
This video just brought me a really nice laught just to see him go like "Holy Sh*t" Hahahahaha love your videos! Happy new year!
Hey man, just telling you you made it to the front page of reddit today
nice tommy, good to see that you are having fun
This is so awesome!!!
He seems so happy and appeared to enjoy the magic tricks. It makes me so happy to see that ^_^
"So you can see that's it a legitimate price of rope" it's funny because he can't see 😂
That's so awesome tho! I never knew there was such a thing as magicians for the blind, love it!
blind magicians for the blind! :)
To all those who try to explain how these tricks work: You're not just ruining our business but also the magic that is behind our tricks (namely that people don't know how they work).
Penn & Teller's ring trick would be perfect.
I just LOVE your sense of humor! Laughed too much at the Katherine joke xD Hope Katherine doesn't think bad of me!
I am reading a book about the neuroscience of magic and illusions. While reading the book, the author states in the introduction that the book will mainly study the visual pathway and how the brain processes the visual stimuli as the majority of magic tricks are visual. So, I got interested in knowing whether blind people can enjoy being fooled by magic or not? And I am so happy to watch this video.
Very cool magic tricks!
Do not remember where i heard it but I have heard about a magician that was sad when he saw one in the audience that was blind, that this man could not experience the magic he usually did. He thought for a while then, as I remember next time the magician went up to the blind man and asked to do a trick with him. In front of the wife. The trick was to sort out the red from the black cards. The blind man succeeded. The wife was in tears. The story ended with giving away how it was done. The magician pressed down on the blind mans foot under the table on all the red cards.
That's actually *very* cool. That's an effect which is usually done *without* the "assistant's" knowledge but that dude went and made the blind guy an *active* participant in the trick. So he got to experience the whole thing in the most interactive way ever, being part of the routine and its miracle.
that was awesome I love magic and to learn tricks that everyone can enjoy would be amazing
This is awesome! :D
Super creative on the magians part
I really enjoy your channel, Tommy. It's very informative. A version of *everything you wanted to know about being blind, but were afraid to ask*! I also wanted to share my gratitude that you have captioning. I am hard of hearing, and it's great that I can actually read what's happening. :)
This was so sweet! It made me smile so hard.
"I see."
Said the blind man to the other blind man.
the magition ist blind, he is a blind magition because he dose magic to blind people
"Katherine gave me the finger!". That killed me.
Awesome video!
Lol she was like gesticulating crazy (0:15) and he just stood there and she kinda didnt realize he cant react to her mimical and gestical actions
She's aware he's not the only person in the room.
Great video
What I find so cool about these tricks is that they also work for the sighted. She's not touching those bones in the first trick, and I have no idea how Chad untied those ropes, even after watching in slo-mo!
you cheer me up so much! Thank you :)
What a cool thing to witness! :)
Great video.
Wonderful!!!
Woow!!! Looks like you had an amazing time Tommy =D
As a magician, that was awesome. I'm doing 265 days of magic on my channel. I'll try to find a blind person and ask if they'd lke to be in my video, I'd like to help a blind person experience magic, I think they'd enjoy it! I can see you very much did Tommy!
Neat! I learned something new today.
oh man, kids on the playground in elementary used to do the rope around the neck thing, but on the wrist. it's the freakiest feeling
Tommy did you know that there I'd a new type of surgery and it uses stem cells and it can totally cure blindness. If you ever decide to go have surgery like that would you be scared about what it would b4 like to see? Also would you make a video if you seeing for the first time if you would? I've seen every single video of yours, and you are my hero. I'm just 12 but all i know is that you are awesome.
There is no evidence to support that stem cells can cure underdeveloped optic nerve.
Edit: Dam I just found his channel and realized this comment is 4 years old, sorry.
This is so great I want to experience this
That is awesome!
Watching the rope part makes me so nervous... Glad Tommy was able to enjoy it. He seem so innocent :P
The bones probably had a magnet in them
Yea that one was easy :)
Nah, the bones just had a ferromagnetic core (like iron) and were manipulated with a magnet under his hand/the table. If the bones had magnets in them, they would stick together.
Sennful Gaming Yeah, I thought so too :)
aw i love your videos
Freaking love Tommy!
