Magician David Blaine brings some of his tricks to the "GMA" studios in Times Square and talks about his new 'Beyond Magic' special. www.goodmorningamerica.com/cu...
Those who do actually know how this is done will understand that there are only a few people who have the guts to perform tricks the way DB does. So much control and confidence.
I read other comments. I want to add that David Blaine is one of the most talented magicians around. He would have a 80% chance of fooling Penn and Teller. The guy is amazing
@@MonstarMk3 80%? For a level like David Blaine I'd say 100%. Shin Lim, the one who won AGT twice fooled them also twice with only card magic sleight of hand. Not to degrade card magics but compared to what David Blaine is capable of, that's much more basic.
@@nertil2259 he encouraged the 3 of diamonds. If he talked with her before the show he could keep saying the word diamond and or diamonds and also saying the number 3 or even showing images is enough for this trick to work
The method behind this shows how ballsy David is. Ive noticed that pretty much all his tricks nowadays rely on subtle psychological principles, to the point where he performs very little sleight of hand. Super impressive
I think he is retarded or slow, his tricks are simply tricks, nothing more, I know because I do the same profession but he has no personality at all. Barely connects with the audience and always is looking down.
Trinity I bet you cant hold your breath under water for 17 minutes but this trickster can.. he can also dislocate bones pierce his arms and hands and no blood comes out and regurgitate gallons of water and living animals and catch an actual bullet with his mouth. Good luck following that with your magic show ..
Sadly he is probably brain damaged from his endurance stunts, particularly the fasting and static apnea. If you compare to his videos before that, like Street Magic, you can see something in his eyes that used to be alive, now dead.
He had him spread the deck so he can locate the 3 of diamonds. If she points at something else the trick will continue and David will perform series of tricks that will make it look like the 3 of diamonds was picked randomly. He is so good he can make up card tricks to get his desired results. In short he has a plan B if he messes up.
Yep mabe you’re right in your unicorns world But no plan b and she’s stop over the 3 of diamonds and she’s screamed at loud 3 of diamonds Sorry but find a other reason you failed for that one
For all those types of tricks, the magician already knows what card he wants the person to pick. Even if they're face down. Also, for this trick, you can see some suggestioning for the person to stop at the right moment. First time he says "stop", second time he says it, the person is meant to subconsciously stop moving. Just rewatch the video and you'll see it
He definitely guided her but only enough to where she is still in control (or appears to be) I'm sure he has a back up plan or extra steps to take in the event she doesn't pick his card the first time over. Nevertheless it's still amazing to watch the amount of skill that goes into doing all the things he does!! Bravo
Yes, I said it is easy to be confident when you know how it is done. He has multiple outs, just in case. But the guy is a top flight magician with great skill
David is one of the most intensely dedicated artists I've ever experienced. His greatest satisfaction comes from inspiring awe and giving ordinary folks a moment of happy distraction. He's very generous about sharing his talents and always has been. David is truly a generous Soul.
2:27 "Slowly move across the cards. ... Keep moving (you're not there yet). ... And then you're basically gonna stop anywhere (near the 3 of diamonds). ... So you stopped on what card? Three (of diamonds)?"
I mean, it's a risky force. You'll see at 2:47 she moves her finger just a little bit more after David gives her permission to stop. He definitely had a bunch of outs
Damn he's good, 2:19 he spread the deck unevenly on purpose to make the 3 of diamond exposed more and it made the lady fixed the deck back to neatly spread 2:21 he put the card in her mind by tricking basic human OCD 🤯 in 2 seconds Also the speech tone he used "Keep moving...", "STOP anywhere", "anywhere you wanna STOP" 2:39
the biggest thing is just control, blaines always in control even when you don't think so but he's smooth in keeping the trick rolling and not wasting time
Shout out to the best magician in my lifetime as well as Michael for being as successful as he’s been on the field and off it. Always did like how he transitioned very well from football into tv.
The card was supposed to be the 3 of diamonds in all scenarios, its a mental trick he plays. He repeats the word stop multiple times when her finger is near the card and rather than asking her what card it is, he says 3 to kinda lay it out for her that its the 3 of diamond
Might be a coincidence, but I also noticed that the 4 of diamonds was lying somewhat seperate from the rest of the cards. Pushed further up to make it more visible.
TheRussianGenius... Oh really? What trick would have involved the 3 of diamonds written upside down? Or do you spot another combination in those symbols. Pray tell. I don't believe David switches tricks mid way thru. That would infuriate him. He would not do a trick that he needs to switch half way thru just in case. He would just choose to do a trick he WILL nail. It wasn't a risky force. The trick was making sure Michael didn't really shuffle the deck. Leaving the 3d relatively in the middle and allowing him to smoothly suggest that she is stopping and then to tell her to lower her finger.
@@bratindas5814 not true, there are several talented people who have misused their talent to abuse others. example Dick Cheney (successful CEO of haliburtain) that was the brainwork behind the Iraq war. Think of Mark Z. facebook ceo, smart guy who founded and built a popular social media platform but who is abusing user data to make more money. there are tones of other examples. Being talented is independent of being ethical. Infact most talented but evil people operate in secrecy - they hide because they do not want to be caught.
'cause they like to suck the wien, that's probably why I think. I'm not sure though, but it's a theory. As long as we have a theory we'll be okay, right?
Well if you notice , he kept saying keep moving your finger and keep going when it started to reach the 3 of diamonds he said you can stop where ever just STOP... just mind tricks
But she slightly moved her finger after he said stop, creating a margin of error of at least 6 cards. So just another comment thread that has absolutely no understanding of how the trick was done.
@@NoFapKing he literally told said stop just stop wherever. She the kept moving slowly and he said ' yeah oh you're stopping' he then said which card did you pick '3 of... ' just to make sure she ended up thinking she stopped on 3 of diamonds
He guided her for sure. He timed it when he would start saying she could stop so she would be close with her finger to the 3 of diamonds. Then when she stopped a second too early he questioned her decision and she then moved a bit further to the one card, 3 of diamonds. Also he made sure the spaces between cards were narrower around the 3 of diamonds making it the natural choice. It was easily definable.
Hey i have some questions is it possible to grow tree in space ? Is it possible to have a baby in a space station ? is it possible to get a civilisation in space ? answer my simple questions and you win i loose if you are correct !
Here's my explanation: He spaced out the 3 of diamonds so it was a likely pick and he kind of guided her in choosing it. However he might have had some sort of backup plan in case she stopped somewhere besides the 3 of diamonds. I would literally pay hundreds of dollars to figure out some of his other, more impressive tricks.
orrrr he just used a god dam sign using subliminal messageing geez is it really that hard to believe the sub-conscious can pick up on crap like that i mean jesus i cant believe this! his literally showing how he done it with actually not using magic and theres still morons arguing that he did it a even stupider way -_-
most people pick from the middle...3 of diamonds is separated from the group (taken up more space). Even if she misses-Dave simply takes out a "group" of cards (4-5) including the 3 of D. Equivokes or PATEO to the 3 of D
I know why she stopped on that card: Because he was coaching her the whole time, from "keep moving" to "slow down", to eventually "stop", and this in the middle of all the noise, and him talking, but at the same time commanding her.
Secret to this trick is easy: TV anchor lady did not pick 3 of diamonds herself. David Blaine did. As she moves her finger down the spread, notice how DB controls her movements and where she stops, even saying "THREE", when he asks her which card she has "chosen". He wrote the "diamonds 3" on the blue card so obviously he needs to control the process so she ends up "choosing" that specific card. As for the black guy doing the shuffling, his shuffling makes no difference to the trick as the cards are spread on the table face up, meaning DB can see where the 3 of diamonds is and compel the "chooser" to stop wherever he sees it.
with the amount of shit he's been through... starving for weeks in a box and not breathing for long periods underwater, piercing his own body in various ways... this is nothing to him.
Wouldn't it be ironic is if was the other way around, if these interviews were harder to him than holding his breath for 17min4secs, so on and so forth. He's a man above men, that's for sure.
simple trick , david wrote the word, he knows what hes looking for, he influence the girl where to stop, he influence also what to pick the card near where she stop, so only kid can be trick with that :D
David walk in like:ahhh.gotta trick some fools again
No, entertain some people.
@@mgdiaz2158 both trick and entertain
That's not David at all. He's genuinely loved sharing his skills for the better part of his life.
@@janicelmckee Its called a joke bro lol that flew over your head
best comment hahaha
I think the biggest magic trick is how many shows he can appear on in a week
hahahaha....
HAHAHAHAHAH that made me laugh dude ! UR funny !
I know...lmao..he's been everywhere
.. And how he manages to pull of a completely different, but yet awesome new trick! This guy is nuts!

But no plan b and she’s stop over the 3 of diamonds and she’s screamed at loud 3 of diamonds
Sorry but find a other reason you failed for that one

David Blaine: breathes in
Everyone in the studio: WOOOOOOOOOWOOOOOOOOOWOOOOOOOOO
Sooo true
Every talk show audience ever i wonder where they pick these kind of people.. claps for no reason chear for no reason
IMO, this is the greatest magician of all time
He definitely guided her but only enough to where she is still in control (or appears to be)
I'm sure he has a back up plan or extra steps to take in the event she doesn't pick his card the first time over.
Nevertheless it's still amazing to watch the amount of skill that goes into doing all the things he does!! Bravo
You're one of the first people I see that actually believes he has skill. LOL, finally!
agreed
Daniel Trevino Absolutly
Yes, I said it is easy to be confident when you know how it is done. He has multiple outs, just in case. But the guy is a top flight magician with great skill
Yeah, he totally influenced her to stop at his card.
If you watch him in 2003 vs 2013, you can tell he makes a conscious effort to smile more around people.
DAAAAAM DAVID. YOURE ON ALMOST EVERY TALK SHOW, NEWS SHOW, SHOW IN GENERAL RN!!
It's called promotion
he deserves it
Odd seeing a dedicated magician, isn't it?
@@jackyl7802 People love a new approach to familiar things. David is especially creative and quietly personable.
He actually picked the most emotional target. Brilliant!
He is mind blowing for sure!
David Blaine, you helped inspire me to start doing magic of my own. Thank you so much, and thank you for everything you've done.
After reading the comments I am amazed at how David did it,pure Magic and confidence to perform.
David has trained his brain to beleive! Amazing.
Can he undo the presidential elections... possibly the party nominees altogether?
yes maybe make the debt disappear and keep terrorists and criminals from walking into AMerica.
why....elections ended up fantastic. next 4yrs will be HUGEEEEE.
fuck Hillary are her criminal ways
the biggest threat to america is already here and its the police and any idiot with a gun not terrorists
www.gofundme.com/i-am-currently-homeless
Chris he said "nominees" PLURAL
Its a magic trick so instead of complaining just appreciate how Its done
David is one of the most intensely dedicated artists I've ever experienced. His greatest satisfaction comes from inspiring awe and giving ordinary folks a moment of happy distraction. He's very generous about sharing his talents and always has been. David is truly a
generous Soul.
Thanks for being friends and helping 😊💞

He definitely knew how to spell out 3 diamonds backwards and he definitely told her when to stop her finger. So obvious.
@@gauravtee because he asked her to stop slightly before the 3 of diamonds dummy. Just watch that part again
That was a really cool trick. Never saw him do that one specifically before.
They are bringing David Blaine back. Hell yea
Damn he's good, 2:19 he spread the deck unevenly on purpose to make the 3 of diamond exposed more and it made the lady fixed the deck back to neatly spread 2:21
he put the card in her mind by tricking basic human OCD 🤯 in 2 seconds
Also the speech tone he used "Keep moving...", "STOP anywhere", "anywhere you wanna STOP" 2:39
I love the “oh, you’re stopping” to make it feel like it was her choice lol
David Blaine is a master when it comes to planned improvisation.
the biggest thing is just control, blaines always in control even when you don't think so but he's smooth in keeping the trick rolling and not wasting time

exactly! its all mental
Might be a coincidence, but I also noticed that the 4 of diamonds was lying somewhat seperate from the rest of the cards. Pushed further up to make it more visible.
What if the 3 of diamonds got shuffled to the beginning/end? How would he force it then?
ItsVicc he knew where the 3 of diamonds is, no matter if the cards got shuffled or not
David Antxn aka D.JVCKET how would he possibly know where it is if he's not the one shuffling the cards?
he's awesome
He is Brilliant❤️He is very close to Providence.Blessed with Special Talent..❤️🙏
David Blaine is awesome
Greatest of all time.
David Blaine is awesome!
Blaine went on a corny breakfast show and did some next-level psychological sorcery
Walks in like the boss that he is. :)
Obviously that was a force, but I think the real magic is how he's able to force cards so well
It was a risky force. Of course if she didn't stop on the card he would of moved to another trick.
+TheRussianGenius lol found you here!
Look who's here! :D
TheRussianGenius... Oh really?

David is fun to watch.
DB never fails to astonish
Blaine is something!!
Would’ve love to see David Blaine on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
Nice trick
best magician
this force
god bless david blaine and good morning america the greatest
God bless Blaine to make happiness spreading 🤗
This is possibly my favorite card trick, even though i know how it works, it's really difficult to pull this without making mistakes.
Hi is amazing guy in the world!!!
Respect
3:40 THIS IS THE MOMENT HE SMILED IN FRONT OF CAMERA!
" subconsciously your brain,yadda yadda yadda" haha 🤣 love when he convinces them that they were able to do the trick somehow 🤣🤘
I need to meet this person before my exam.
I love david blaine he's fucking great! I'm not a fan of magic but after i've watched his magic tricks i freaked out! And now i'm obsessed with him!
Lupet
he knew he wrote 3 of diamonds like that, and when she spread them out, he guided her to approximately that decision, great work
He's gotten into more mentalism lately.
Brandon Inman
I bet he practiced 5 years for this trick judging from his philosophy on magic.
Blaine is the most dangerous man alive, but fortunately for us, he isn't abusing his power.

That's called a force and he does it great. Had her slow her finger down as it neared the card then basically told her when to stop very subtly.
He's so cute 😍
DAVID BLAINE MAGIC TRICKS ARE PRETTY NICE ON GMA !!!!
Where can I get those cards?
“move your finger across the cards”
brainwashed audience: wOOoW WOaaaH
Yeah tf was that
@@mdhcccc Actually her down pointed finger looked like a phallus to the audience, so they cheered unconsciously...😆
cuz they thought the cards gonna snap up or sth...lol
They were just excited and thought something was gonna happen idk about brainwashed and all that

Is it possible to have a baby in a space station ?
is it possible to get a civilisation in space ?
answer my simple questions and you win
i loose if you are correct !
Lmao really a must comment😂
Did this card trick on my brother and it actually worked !!! (On the second try) but still.
He made sure she chose the 3 of diamond by saying "you stopped on what card? 3.." And let her finish it
The goat
davis blair can u ples show me how to do crad tricks?
Here's my explanation:
He spaced out the 3 of diamonds so it was a likely pick and he kind of guided her in choosing it. However he might have had some sort of backup plan in case she stopped somewhere besides the 3 of diamonds.
I would literally pay hundreds of dollars to figure out some of his other, more impressive tricks.
Why would you pay money? It's better not knowing, but if you really wanted to, google is your friend. And it's free.
orrrr he just used a god dam sign using subliminal messageing geez is it really that hard to believe the sub-conscious can pick up on crap like that i mean jesus i cant believe this! his literally showing how he done it with actually not using magic and theres still morons arguing that he did it a even stupider way -_-
ESP also stands for especially lol 😂 big fan of David Blaine that trick was cool
This was published on my birthday too!!!
Apparently I’m the esp vip person not only am I especially very important person but i also now have esp
this guy would sacrifice one of his body parts just to do a trick... it ain't magic it's dedication and commitment.. Where you at Chris Angeles!!!!!
David:Michael, you know how to shuffle correct?
Michael:Yes sir
Crowd:Cheers like it's something amazing
i love how david blaine says subcautiosly all the time
subconsciously i mean
"you could've stopped anywhere upon the deck, but i told your brain to pick that particular card"
Michael: What Star was the most surprised?
David: Ehh it’s all the same. Wanna see a magic trick?

David Blaine is my all time favorite magician, but when he enter the studio in this video his actually like, where the fuck is my chair , lmao
So no one else noticed how David left Michael hanging on that handshake??😂
