- A look behind David Blaine’s VIP Live Pre Show performance. San Diego on May 6th, 2018. He allowed us to record a couple of card tricks, and it was amazing! He is the best magician in the world in my opinion and is the reason that I first got interested in magic.
“David Blaine is the greatest magician who ever lived.” Howard Stern made that on-air proclamation, a sentiment echoed by Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller, who referred to David’s Street Magic as “the best TV magic special ever done.” He was just twenty- three when Street Magic first aired on ABC, transforming televised magic by turning the camera on the audience. Spectators at home could feel the visceral reaction of people being astonished. The New York Times went on to declare that David had “taken a craft that’s been around for hundreds of years and done something unique and fresh with it,” while The New Yorker prominently stated “he saved magic.”
I would truly appreciate it if anyone is willing to share this video on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Etc.! Also, don't forget to like and subscribe, and stay tuned for more content coming soon! Thank you all! :)
I never subscribe to videos that are blocked for the last 20 seconds or so by the posters advertising. Let the video finish.
@@cincinnatibob37 I can completely understand that and would prefer not to have added the additional cards/subscribe buttons that end up blocking parts of the video. I tried putting them at the very end, but unfortunately, those things make a huge difference when it comes to TH-cam's algorithm, and how many views a video will get. I' ve done quite extensive testing, and the difference it makes is quite astonishing. I mean obviously none of my videos are monetized, but I still wanted as many people that were interested to be able to see the video. I actually uploaded it twice, once with the advertising at the end, and once without. If you take a look you can see the pretty significant difference in the amount of views from the exact same video clip. Anyways, sorry if that took away from the viewing experience, I gain nothing from uploading a video such as this, just wanted to share!
@@cincinnatibob37 I do not run any adds on my videos, if you see a add it it youtube not me. Never been paid of anything I post to you tube, its my way of sharing and giving back to the world.
Bob Farmerie agreed
At the end, I thought he was going to say, "The Queen of Hearts isnt in the deck. In fact, I flew in the air and flippity flipped under your watch. Check under your watch, turn it over so everybody can see."
lmao
ikr
It would be funny if the person he done the trick with didn’t have a watch and by the end of the trick a watch appeared with the card under
His doublelift is legendary
JukeNut It really is! I mean I was standing 2 feet away and looking for it specifically as I know the method of the trick, but he performs it flawlessly.
I guess you just have to imagine what he's doing. If you are looking for the double lift visually you won't be able to see it per se. But you know what he's doing. It can't be real. Its just flawless.
@@dailyinfo577 it's amazing how such a simple maneuver can explain so many tricks, but if you don't know it, it's all magic. Amazing execution from him here. He's put in ALL the hours.
Agree. We all know the trick but the thing is - its how he execute it.
I kept skipping back and slowing it down to try and catch it but there’s just no flash whatsoever. His dedication to his craft is surreal.
David is so good with kids !
He really is! I hadn't seen him interest with children much previous to this experience, and he really was great with the kids, and they were just amazed at what he was doing. I am 28, but getting to watch Blaine perform two feet from me made me feel like a kid again lol. He is the reason that I first got interested in magic, and I have been a fan of his for about 20 years! So it was really nice getting to meet him, and see him perform live! I would have loved to been able to record more, and show some of the other truly amazing tricks he performed, but no more recording was permitted unfortunately! Anyways, thanks for givint the video a watch, and commenting!
David: "You deserve a heart"
Ladies: Simultaneously meltdown @ 2:48
The control he has in these situations is insane.
bro has the ultimate pull power. magic is too op
Blaine, the best close up magician, and illusionist.
No doubt! He truly is amazing, and is the main person who got me interested in magic as a child. Watching him on TV back in like 2000 just blew my mind, and made me want to be able to do things like that. 18 years later and I still can't, but I was glad that I was able to experience this up close performance, along with his live show, that I would highly recommend. I am mainly a fan of card/close up magic, but I still enjoy his "Stunts" and stage performances as well. He was just a super nice guy, and it was an awesome experience from start to finish.
I thoght the King of hards was going to be in the girls pocket
Yeah, that definitely would have been a cool touch to add to the trick! This was his first trick when he first came out, and they just got better from this one, but unfortunately no more recording was permitted :(
Jon Riding dude he was being perverted lol
Then Blaine would have to find a magical way out of prison.
*thought....King of hearts....
David Blaine: "Was this your card?"
Kid: "No"
David Blaine: " Watch this VHS tape"
The service he does for humanity makes me emotional. He literally makes people smile for a living. I’m crying.
I’m crying too.
the irony in that statement lol
With the help of the devil and his frog friend, he makes people smile xD
@@lisamarieschnee Who is the devil, envious sou desu?
I love that David genuinely seems to be listening to the children when he was interacting with them about coming on stage.
The first time I saw the Ambitious card routine was on DB's street magic TV show. Since then, i've seen so many magicians perform it in so many different styles. But no one has been able to create that wonder like the first time (Fruit loops). I still remember how dumbfounded i was the first time I saw that trick. DB is a legend! True king of close up magic in our era.
No doubt! Couldn't agree more!
Holy shit !!!!!!! How smooth is his double lift ?? Like how the hell is he doing that double lift in front of everyone and without hiding the cards or even the angle is visible to all how the hell is he pulling off that double lift man omg he is a legend just legend holy moly !!
cuz it's not just a double lift
@@caa1647 what do you mean?
His way of executing the marlo tilt & double lift is legendary😮😍
It really is! Such a simple trick, but he does it so well and makes it look so good.
How about his card forces...
3:09 I need someone who look at me like she looks at David.
Over 20yrs watching the trick n it never gets old, awesome
David: pick any card and ill make it the same card again.
Also David: check the whole deck for a king of heart.. lmao
lol that was pretty funny, wouldn't think DB would make a mistake like that but hey it happens! Especially after performing the same trick so many times while on tour.
He is a God at forcing card
you deserve a heart
aaaahhhh
I gave you one instead :) Thanks for the comment!
come on david, you forgot the heart was already taken out? lol
Why couldn’t he make another king of hearts appear in the deck....not so magical afterall 😂
@@xdgs567z lol I mean that would have been pretty cool I guess, but also a dead giveaway that he wasn't using a real deck of cards without any gaffs or anything.
Even knowing exactly how the trick is done, as I perform the same one, just with a different ending, it still amazes me. Everything looks so smooth.
The magic is also that David’s style of fashion and personality is just cool and chill, he makes the magic the big deal. No glitz, gaudy jewelry, corny goth or trying to be a loud speaker. The magic is the main event.
I can assume you are mainly referring to Chris Angel lol, and I couldn't agree more! I've gone to Vegas many times over the past few years, and never had a desire to see his show because of all the extra nonsense, and just what I would call "Cheesy" magic.
A new level of respect for David Blaine here.
David Blaine is top class!
Saw him in Santa Barbara while I was in college, David is truly one a kind!
I love that he doesn’t care if they are young old or even mean. He just loves doing magic and does it because he loves to see people in Awe
also love how he motivates everybody to put their phones down and just enjoy the moment
my god he is so humble!!
Very simple ambitous card routine but Blaine is just legendary.
Sleight of hand is on another level...doesn't even look like he's trying, but this man is a professional!
Blaine is freaking rad. Magic or just a really good trick, doesn’t matter. If it is a really good trick, then even better because it shows how many hours he put into the trick.
So adorable
What an inspiration. This gentleman has spent his entire career paying it forward.
aww I'd love to be there up close!
thanks for sharing!
Thank You sooo much dearest 💐
You’re such an inspiration 🥰
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏🏼😇
As I've been saying for many years now: "David Blaine, Literally better than Houdini!"
I was expecting another trick in the last minute
David for the children!
It's so cool seeing children and adult both have the same visual expression of awe and a smile...that's the power of magic and especially when David does it!
P.S. I was smiling the entire time I realized at the end😅
That David Blane logo is perfect. Using his initials to make a spade ♠️
When he was looking for the king of hearts and went through the whole deck without seeing it he looked so puzzled lol 2:50
I remember loving magic so much as a kid. Even getting those cheezy kits that have cards and a wand.
Oh me too! I loved magic and still do! Mostly card magic but watching DB as a kid just amazed me and inspired me to start practicing myself. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to put in to really improve at the moment but I enjoy watching it and getting to meet David Blaine was just really awesome!
he is simply the BEST.
"I saw that pop up" she's onto him 😂
Gotta love David, if your an avid viewer of card magic, or is somewhat experienced with a deck of cards this trick is fairly simple, but David’s sleight of hand and double lifts are so advance sometimes even I think the card teleports to the top of the deck.
W wholesome video
What a class act
Love you dave
I think this is the first magic trick that the audience has ever seen
He's a really good dude.
Humble guy!
You deserve a heart
Waaaaaaa lol❤️
Dude. David's card skills can completely stun of very smart adults.
Showing that shit to a kid is legit dangerous! A few double lifts and false cuts, man, and l'il Junior's brain could melt...
Blain is the Tom Brady of magic. Max stage presence and is so cool and unflappably.. He acts like something went wrong but then that’s another mis direction and the trick is even more amazing. Smooth.
This video taught me a new way to force a card. 2:25
Him trying to find the king of hearts when already gave it to the boy, is the only time i have ever seen him struggle
Say what you want about him, but he is just the 'Don of Magic'. Been doing it for years now, 1st time I seen him was in the mid 90s, and he is still killing it. Him and Dynamo. Legends.
Most definitely! I'm sure you have, but also check out Shin Lim! Another amazing card magician!
Out of all the cards one killed me
All together now...
2:48 😂😂😂
Funny part is.. He is a magician but He can't find the king of heart..
because he doesnt actually need to know where all the cards are to do his trick.
that's part of the trick to reinforce the idea that he didn't use any doubles
Ahhh, I hate that I spotted how he does the bent card trick at the end. He’s still an amazing magician!
I saw it too, but he still performed the trick great ( Much better than I could), and seeing everyones reaction was nice!
Same here. Lol. But ya still amazing
Little baby: i saw that pop up,... Hahahah
David Blaine is like Michael Jackson, the King of Magic
This is awesome! How long did he spend with you guys who paid for VIP access?
Divid : **be able to call out a card from anywhere in the deck**
Also David : **can't find a K♡ bc he forgot that he already gave it away**
This trick fooled Houdini once
he seems like a genuinely nice guy
He truly was!
Does anyone know how to do the force in the end?
nobody seems to notice the psychological trick at the end of pretending to forget he's handed off the king of hearts (whilst searching for it to sign) to reinforce the idea that he did not use any doubles, truly one of the best
There weren't any doubles. ;)
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Comment section full of magicians 🎩
what is this move called
Does anyone know how he actually does this ?
When he says “at 7:55” and its 7:53 when you watch this
You guys wanna see some maaaaaaagic
As amazing as that doublelift is, I can't get over that force at the end. I also can't get over how for all his magical wizardry, he forgot the first kid picked the King of Hearts. lol.
But seriously that force, tho.
I figured out your bending card trick move 🌚
How did he do that card force at the end?
I know how he did the main trick, but I really don't know how he did the force! That impressed me more than the actual trick lol. It's amazing how DB can use some basic techniques ( That he does flawlessly) and get such a great effect.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Lol at the longest part of his entire trick is trying to find the king of hearts meanwhile it’s in the kid’s hand already
He forgot that he given the KING OF HEARTS to another girl! 😁😁✌✌
The Messi of cards, like they're part of him
The most magical thing is when he told everyone to shut their phones off, they did...
No doubt! I figured I would capture a bit and then just enjoy the rest!
The definition of basic sleights executed perfectly.
Most definitely! This trick is pretty basic, but the effect it has on the audience is wonderful!
David Blaine + doublelifte = God
Who filmed this?
Alex Madsen I recorded this. Unfortunately even though I was holding the phone horizontally it uploaded as if I was recording vertically. I’m not too sure why.
He changed so much since he got a daughter
I love the ending. Fuck the phones.
But where is kings of hearts though!?
Phones down.. :')
What trick did he do when the phones were off
I don't really know the names of all the tricks he performed, but he spent a good 30-40 minutes with the small group of people prior to the official show. He did one trick that I believed he performed on Ellen or a variation of that trick. He put a card under someones watch, and just did some other great stuff. I am a magician myself, although not a very good one lol, and even though I know at least part of the method used to complete the tricks, I was still blown away.
Aaaaaaah oooooooooh aaaaaaaaahhhhh ooooooooophhhh hahahahaha aaaaaaaaahhh ooooooohhhhh
I thought he was looking through the deck multiple times so he could memorize it and then blow their minds with another trick, but he just forgot the king of hearts was already taken. Lol
lol he did make a mistake, but he did blow everyone's mind with the next few tricks he performed when cameras were off! I am somewhat of a magician, and know many of the techniques used to get the effect and I still was blown away! Even standing right there and watching him closely, his sleight of hand is insane! Even a basic double lift I couldn't see even though I know that what he was doing for many of the tricks. It was a great experience no doubt!
Why my father is not David Blaineee.... 😭😭
How long will the general public remain unaware of the double lift?
Forever lol, I mean anyone who has never done any type of card magic is not going to pick it up, well if it's done properly. It's such a simple trick, but so effective, and yeah I would think by the 3rd time most people would begin figuring it out lol, but his double lift is also pretty amazing and flawless.
The magician here was the kid that even David couldn’t figure where’s the King of heart.. kid be like :- hey David look under watch.
lol
I hate the phones everywhere drives me nuts just be in the moment.
I can totally understand, although I personally was doing my best to hold my phone without looking at it, while still enjoying the moment and capturing a little something to look back on later. This also was just a short part of the card tricks he performed where cameras were allowed, but if you notice at the end he asks everyone to turn their cameras off. I get you though, it drives me crazy when say at a concert and many people are just watching/listening through their phone screen. Anyways, I am glad I got to record this little segment to share/as well as look back on myself and still fully enjoyed the experience.
Imagine what David would do if when he wasn’t able to find the king of hearts the little girl told him to check under his watch.(If he was wearing one)
Lucas moura in the back
David Blaine, if Xanax were a person
