I feel you, but there’s nothing surprising about people being born in 2006, it just means they are 16. That feeling we get is because people around twenty years old are not so different from 30~35yo people. So we feel like « hey they look like me, but they’re born yesterday!? 😵💫 » Hence the dizziness.
Jimmy almost cracked him up, I enjoyed that part. Dan, though, sounds like a robot, he's so over-rehearsed. Even to the point where he asks Jimmy to "take out his phone" but the phone is still on the table 😂
Dan White's personality is the weakest part of his show. No charisma or charm, and no comic relief except one *decades-old* mentalists' joke in the entire show - same joke you'll hear in most mentalist shows. No natural sense of humor though (you can tell during any interaction, when he's knocked off script).
My husbands company hired him for a party once (his online show) and it was INSANE. My husband was one of the random volunteers and he was not in on it. All I gotta say is that it was insane.
So... my guess. He has a real chalkboard on one side, but the reverse is a tablet. 2:48 he is not writing anything down. Once the final numbers are loudly announced, a backstage assistant transmits those numbers to the tablet ("chalkboard"). That's why there is a discrepancy in the handwriting, with a strike through the 7. Not everyone does that.
@@galaxiz6570his point was on the big chalk board he wrote his 7 without a dash and on the little one with a dash, so it's a slight hint that some else wrote the 7 on the small board
Yes, absolutely agree. From the start I wondered why he had a double-sided chalk board. Nothing in a magic trick is by accident or random - everything is deliberate. He needed two sides for that reason.
I worked at a group home as a residential counselor that had 5 men with developmental disabilities. One of the men, considered nonverbal for the most part except in specific circumstances. As soon as he met a new person he'd ask for their birth date and with barely a pause would tell them facts about what day it was, how many Sundays there were before your next birthday, the weather on the day of your birth, several little and accurate other facts, those are the ones I remember the.most. No computer etc, just what was inside him. Everyone who checked up or knew these facts found him 100% accurate. It was uncanny especially considering he wasnt able to understand that stepping in front of a speeding truck wouldn't be advisable.
yep! I had the same situation too when I use to take care of a gentleman who was blind all their life and had a few developmental disabilities. BUT when it came to dates he could call it out on the spot! No matter what year or day! I was always fascinated! Also could play the piano and play complicated composers songs. He was an interesting guy! Thanks for sharing your story!
look up idetic memory, since he was older he could tell you about every day you probably lived because they remember every day like it was yesterday...Marilu Henner is a famous one and I know one that works at the neighborhood Publix
My best guess: As soon as Jimmy hands the envelope to an audience member, the number of days from the their birthdate to the current date is calculated and sent to the Lynx chalkboard by an assistant--7039. Everything from this point on is theater. He legitimately opens the calculator app at 4:38 but then pulls it back at 4:41 to ask everyone to open their calculators and we can't see what his right thumb is doing. This was misdirection to open a browser and navigate to a site that looks like the calculator. The first three birth years are entered and he asks Jimmy to press "equals" which gives us 6006. When he asks everyone press "plus" again, this instructs the app that any numbers entered now will automatically be equal to the difference needed to reach the target number 7039 (1033 in this example). This is why it was important to ask Jimmy ***not*** to look at his phone while he entered the numbers.
And the fact that he only make a reference about the first time they met, is just to mislead. Cause in the end was just a matter of the date on which that guy from the audience was born :))) and had nothing to do with with the date they met. Just pointing out his presence there at that moment but without obvious reason :)
I wonder whether I would keep my phone in my suit's pocket as the host of a late night show. Most likely, I wouldn't even have it inside the studio. I find it more plausible that Jimmy was asked to bring a phone along for this act. In this case it could also be any phone that was given to him for this purpose rather than HIS actual phone. In other words it is very likely that this is a manipulated prop, the magician knows where the fake app is located and is able to quickly open it
I knew that 19 SEP 1988 was a Monday because it was my first day of college (freshman year). We were on a quarter system, so we started late. My first class was a Calculus Lecture and I still have the textbook.
Note that you DON'T see what he is ALLEGEDLY written down. Note also that he turns so you can't see his arm movement to get even a hint of what he has written. Clearly, THAT is the KEY moment in the trick.
There's also the possibility of clear ear piece in his left ear 👂 as well. If you pay attention he rarely turns to his left to fully revail thr left ear 👂 during the performance. He kept turning to right like he's trying to hide it to. Not to mention the placement of himself am Jimmy as well being all to convenient for the whole set up too.
This is my best guess for the trick. *cracks knuckles* 1. Dan writes down a prediction on the chalkboard - No he doesn't. He fakes it. The sound of chalk scraping is actually his cufflink. The board is still blank. The chalkboard is actually a type of tablet, maybe a kindle, with an overlay that he can write on. The screen is black underneath it. So he can write on it with real chalk and it will look like and work like a chalkboard, but the tablet beneath will also show an image through if he desires. And it can show through convincingly if it is similar to a kindle screen that has less glare properties. So the screen is prepared to display any number that Dan wishes. 2. Dan places the chalkboard in an envelope. - Yes 3. Dan asks Jimmy to randomly throw 4 balls into the audience. 4 random audience members catch the ball. - This is legit random unless Jimmy is in on it and throws it so convincingly to the exact right person who then fumbles it on to the guy beside her, who is eventually the guy he chose. The reaction seems so genuine when the ball fell in his lap, that I don't think it's faked. Amazing acting if it was faked. Also, plants in magic are so disappointing to me. It feels like a cop-out and I think many people might mirror that sentiment. Plants are lame. 4. Dan asks Jimmy to give the envelope to 1 of the 4 random people. He chooses the man in the center. - Again, I don't think this is staged. This is a legitimate choice. Dan takes note of the man in the center and... actually already knows his birth date! Okay sooo this is the hardest part to believe in. I'm not sure how else he would know that man's birth date, but I think he actually took time before the show to memorize the entire audience's birthdates. DON'T SCROLL AWAY LOL Ok, I know, I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. If you've watched the one-man show called "In and Of Itself" you could see how it's possible for someone to have a brilliant photographic memory like this. Dan is also a HIGHLY paid magician who is paid handsomely to do amazing things, so it makes sense that he would put a day's effort into memorizing faces and birthdays for this one gig. Where did he get the birthdates? The audience may have been required to fill out forms to be allowed entry. Maybe scan their ID. Photos taken. Those procedures might not be normal for Jimmy's show, but the magician may have required it this time to make the trick work. Maybe it's far-fetched but this is my best guess lol. So he knows this guy's birthdate and he calculates in his head "March 23rd, 2003 is 7039 days before today". The quick calendar math part is much more believable since he already showed a very similar trick at the beginning of this bit. So 7039 is now ready to be planted. 5.. Dan asks Jimmy to pull out his phone to make Jimmy do some math. - Yep, that's Jimmy's phone. Dan actually grabs Jimmy's phone to open the calculator app for him, which is totally unnecessary. No, Dan didn't switch it out for an identical copy. Dan is actually going to secretly mess with Jimmy's phone. He turns the phone screen away from the camera and speaks to the audience while he uses some awesome sleight of hand to go to the phone's browser, then to a special website that mimics the standard phone calculator. But it's a trick calculator that Dan placed on this website just for this trick. How does Dan do this sleight of hand so well and convincingly while not looking? Well, you can see him looking down at least once to confirm what he is pressing. The website's domain could have a simple address like 7z4 dot org or something like that. But that's all of the sleight of hand it takes. Just open a browser, type the address and bam you're there. Oh yeah and he also typed "7039" into that trick calculator to set it up for actual fake math. This will force Jimmy's random number to be the exact number he needs. This will ALSO IMMEDIATELY TYPE "7039" ON THE CHALKBOARD IN THE ENVELOPE because the tablet is connected to the trick calculator website. Smart. 5. Dan asks the birth years of the 3 people that Jimmy did not choose to add them up on the calculator resulting in 6006. - This is legit. We all did this at home. Those 3 people aren't actors either. 6. Dan asks Jimmy to type out a totally random 4th, 4-digit number to add to the total. That number is 1033 resulting in 7039. - This is where the trick calculator does its final work. Dan asks jimmy to randomly type 4 numbers on the screen, but what is not shown on TV is where Jimmy is actually looking when he hits the 4 random numbers. Jimmy is probably looking up at Dan while he is typing these numbers. The directors might have cut out that specific direction of "don't look at the calculator when you type these numbers to make sure it's random" to maybe save time on the broadcast. It's not essential to cut that direction of broadcast out for the trick, but that may have happened. So Jimmy taps the calculator pad four times and the resulting number was 1033 REGARDLESS of what Jimmy actually typed, because Dan PLANTED 7039 into the calculator earlier and the calculator was setup to make sure the 4th number would be 7039 MINUS the previous total of 6006. Watch the footage again and see if it looks like Jimmy typed 1033. It doesn't right? It's also possible that Jimmy's own hand was covering the top numbers when he typed them OR the app wasn't showing these numbers as he typed them for some reason until he hit the 4th number. This was great at convincing us as well since we're all doing the math at home and getting the same answer. Also, important to note the camera angle here is below the phone so we don't see the actual numbers popping up as Jimmy types. Trickery. 7. Dan confirms that all of those 4 numbers added up equal 7039. Dan then asks the audience member to reveal the chalkboard prediction and it's 7039! - Yup, Thank you trick calculator website 8. Dan then asks the audience member to reveal his birthday, March 23rd 2003. It's revealed that that birthday is 7039 days before today! - Yup, a combination of extreme memorization skills, a trick website, a trick chalkboard, and some sleight of hand and misdirection. Many props to Dan. If he really did all of the memorizations that I suppose he did, then he has put many, many years into becoming a memorization master. Yet even with this great skill on hand, he dares not to publicize it for the sake of a fantastic trick. Well done, Dan! In conclusion, go watch "In and Of Itself". It's streaming somewhere.
Great analysis. It's possible that Jimmy Fallon was somewhat in on it and tried to throw the ball specifically to a number of plants, each of whom had a birthday that Dan knew (or, for which he just had to memorize a specific 4-digit number for). Not all of the throws would land on the right person, but one would. However, I agree that a magician of Dan's caliber would probably not leave it to chance, and he may we'll have done it as you said.
I think you're the closest I've seen here, but I don't think you're quite there with point 6. It looks to me like Jimmy is looking at the phone. I think you are basically right, but that Jimmy is in on it.
You wouldn't really need the memorization part. There could simply be an assistant backstage who has a list with all audience members' birthdays. That person controls the number on the chalkboard and on the calculator. I saw another comment that said he uses a prop called the lynx blackboard. Great trick, though. Very cool effect.
9. This TH-cam comment itself is part of the trick, a plant to snag the attention of the science-minded and persuade them to watch the one man show you mention.
@@Syclone0044 lol it's an awesome show tho. Someone posted a tiktok like a year or 2 ago saying "Go watch it with no context now" and I was like uhhhh ok, and yeah it was dope.
When he cleans the small board you can clearly see there are no traces o chalk. That means it is electronic. So the answer is written via a voice command.
@@Iceleopard45 It´s parf of the design of the board. Am telling you the board if for sale on the internet. Otherwise there is no explanation and i´ts magic.
1. Do the 'trick' where you calculate the day you were born with; this is just mathematics. But it allows the assistant of the magician to see Jimmy's phone/model. Or maybe just to make sure the phone has internet access. 2. Ask all audience members to shout out their birthdays. 3. Pretend to write something on the blackboard; but really leave it empty. Put it in the envelope. 4. throw balls in audience 5. give envelope to one audience member. Assistant will now go ahead and figure out the person's birthday; studio knows it based on seat/ticket sales 6. Ask Jimmy to get out phone again and to unlock it. After Jimmy unlocks it, the magician TAKES THE PHONE, opens the calculator app 7. Magician starts telling a long story about how everybody can participate with; while he's telling the story, he opens the phone's browser, fills in an URL that shows/runs a fake calculator app, controlled by the assistant through the internet 8. Fill in the three years and add them together; 9. Magician needs 'one more number'; it will be random; he asks Jimmy to randomly enter the numbers; however the numbers are NOT random, the fake calculator app that's connected to the internet, will give specific numbers, the assistant came up with; which will bring the total to the number of days of the person that's holding the envelope. ... 10. The chalkboard is an iPad with e-Ink screen, the assistant has access to; you can chalk on it yes; but the assistant just let it display the correct number. 11. etc, etc. etc.
@@macadelic2492 I'm sure other magicians do that yes. But in this case i see no need for it. Yes, magic tricks are convoluted; if it was easy, it wouldn't be magic ..
Sadly, the minute I see a chalkboard, I know i'm in for an eTrick, which aren't my favorite because they're lazy. This was entertaining but these chalkboards need to go. It makes me feel like the magician didn't want to do "real" magic for the show. The Jimmy Corden magician a few days ago was much more entertaining.
How tf is that even possible? Bro, this dude is pure quality, his delivery is also quite nice. I know there's people out there that may come up with theories about this, looking forward to it.
It's actually math. Go to numberphile on TH-cam, they break the whole routine down. Guessing the day of any random date is a skill you can actually get yourself. And as long as there are 4 digits and 4 people, the reverse day count will always add up properly.
Also Ethan, the last guy, you saw he didn't use the microphone when he spoke? It's not like he is an idiot. It's to make you think oh he is just a normal person who doesn't know how to use a microphone and to distract you from the fact that he is actually involved in this.
Regardless of method - C'mon! Amazing performance and super funny and entertaining. Thanks Jimmy and Dan White. A well spent 10 minutes of my time watching video. Inspiring. Now back to practicing my card tricks.
He wrote nothing on that little chalkboard before putting it in the envelope. Notice how he was so careful to make sure nobody could see that there was nothing scribbled on it before placing it in the envelope. It's actually a "chalkboard" of sorts that doubles as a tablet. Someone backstage did the math on the fly and sent the sum figure to the tablet, which renders the final tally in a font that looks like it's handwritten in chalk. Still very entertaining.
1. at 2:46 there is no way he is writing 7039 the movements are totally wrong I suspect he hasn't written anything . 2. The lady in the audience who's birth year is 1999 doesnt catch the ball at all? maybe just a red-herring. 3. There are devices called LYNX blackboards - they are linked by bluetooth - if you write something on one board in special magnetic chalk it sends it via bluetooth to the other - you can have the receiving device load a pre-loaded images or replicate excatly. 4. at 2:57 "Im going to place the prediction inside this envelope so nobody can see it" for a good reason - he hasn't actually written anything on the board 5. He makes sure the assistant in the audience is holding up the envelope so there is no bluetooth signal interference between the big LYNX board he writes 7039 on and the smaller LYNX board that replicates the number from a pre-loaded image I suspect as it's not exactly the same.
Imagine the risks of trying to rely on Bluetooth for real-time data transmission from the stage to the audience though, even worse if the audience all still has their phones on them (doubtful, I bet they are required to surrrender them before they enter) causing a storm of radio transmissions in the room
Agreed, magic tricks on late night shows are always fun to try to figure out! But sadly, if you see a chalkboard and especially the iPad secondary chalkboard, then you're not in for a treat, you're in for a store-bought magic trick (with personal touches of course). Modern day magic has become cheap. Anyway, Corden's show just had a mentalist on a few days ago, his show was also entertaining, but no electronics and apps involved. More fun to figure out.
Well the first and last part are actually constant. The shows date and the date he met jimmy in that hotel is obviously fixed. It'll always be a difference of 7039 days. So he had already thought that i need to come to a solution of how to get to 7039 days with the audience
@@AbsolAhm that's actually really well thought through, yeah so he got the 7039 then reversed engineered the outcome, kinda like a comedian writing a punchline then coming up with the jokes story and build up after.. like this explanation ahmad!
Wait a minute, as someone who ALWAYS uses the ‘french style’ number 7 (with the little line in it like on the small chalkboard), I find it very hard to believe that this magician guy didn’t write the number 7 on the big chalkboard in the same way…almost as if someone else, somehow, wrote 7039 on the small chalkboard. Very suspicious indeed. 🧐🤔
@@tradeo8899 Jimmy is a stooge on this one. Thats how the trick is done. There is one other thing going on but i wont talk about that other then to say it involves the whole audience.
@@tradeo8899 one of two things can explain that. First, you need to understand that the studio knows the birthdate of everyone in the audience. 1. Jimmy is in on it and has a producer tell him what number to "randomly" type in the calculator 2. The magician uses a fake calculator program by opening Safari on Jimmy's phone and quickly typing in a URL (he has time to do this when they are joking about Questlove using his phone). The fake calculator is actually controlled by a producer backstage who knows the birthdates and has already done the math.
Funny how there are so many guys who are 100% convinced that they know how the trick was done......and yet they don't agree on the actual technique lol. I mean, 9 chance out of 10 that most of the information we got was just to distract and part of it was most probably relatively simple math (I suppose, I'm not pretending that I know exactly how this works.) but one dude is like "Oh the magician's assistant told Jimmy what number to press because he managed to find out the date of birth of the person sitting right there in the audience and then the chalkboard was actually an electronic device" while the other guy is going to say "You can see that they cut and edited the montage!!!! The audience is in on it!!!!"...There's nothing wrong with not knowing for sure lol, well unless you actually think that magic is a real thing and that these aren't just tricks. One thing is for sure, none of us is doing magic on the tonight show right now lol.
The trick is Jimmy knew the number, so all he had to do is some subtraction from the current value on the calculator (supposing no one among the audience was born after 2020, this trick should always work...). Now, the beauty of a magic trick comes in when people can't figure it out, that's what makes it better, so in my opinion it was an average trick, but of course some people will find it amazing.
For anyone trying to figure out the trick, here's a hint. The numbers written on the small chalkboard at 7:30 and the numbers we saw Dan write directly on the big chalkboard at 7:00 are not the same handwriting.
@@rsoe9158 I don't know for sure, but here's how I think it works. When everyone says thier birthday, it is being recorded so an assistant can review it and get the birthday of everyone in the audience. Jimmy throws 4 random balls, this part truly is random. They add up 3 of the birth years. The calculator app is a fake app that can be controlled by the assistant. The assiant adds the last guys birthday and figures out the "random" number needed to make the trick work. They make that number come up on the calculator no matter what Jimmy types. You can see in the close up, it looks like he's hitting 1111, but that's not what it comes back. That is why he is supposed to do it without looking. The small chalkboard is an e-ink display and the assistant writes the number on the chalkboard that makes the trick work. Thus why the handwriting doesn't match. Still clever AF and got me the first time I watched it.
Amazing! Many humans who are adults that were born after 2000! It’s a little shocking! I still have the habit of starting the year with “19…”Amazing!! Now what was that number thing he did?
The seven on the big blackboard is written the American way and the seven in the envelope is written the European way- they were obviously not written by the same person!
Nope. I write my sevens in both of those ways; sometimes with the little horizontal slit and the other times without it and I’m American. Also, not saying you’re wrong but is that supposed to somehow reveal the trick? If so, how?
You know you’re getting old when you’re shocked to hear someone was born in 2006.

1. Dan writes down a prediction on the chalkboard
- No he doesn't. He fakes it. The sound of chalk scraping is actually his cufflink. The board is still blank. The chalkboard is actually a type of tablet, maybe a kindle, with an overlay that he can write on. The screen is black underneath it. So he can write on it with real chalk and it will look like and work like a chalkboard, but the tablet beneath will also show an image through if he desires. And it can show through convincingly if it is similar to a kindle screen that has less glare properties. So the screen is prepared to display any number that Dan wishes.
2. Dan places the chalkboard in an envelope.
- Yes
3. Dan asks Jimmy to randomly throw 4 balls into the audience. 4 random audience members catch the ball.
- This is legit random unless Jimmy is in on it and throws it so convincingly to the exact right person who then fumbles it on to the guy beside her, who is eventually the guy he chose. The reaction seems so genuine when the ball fell in his lap, that I don't think it's faked. Amazing acting if it was faked. Also, plants in magic are so disappointing to me. It feels like a cop-out and I think many people might mirror that sentiment. Plants are lame.
4. Dan asks Jimmy to give the envelope to 1 of the 4 random people. He chooses the man in the center.
- Again, I don't think this is staged. This is a legitimate choice. Dan takes note of the man in the center and... actually already knows his birth date! Okay sooo this is the hardest part to believe in. I'm not sure how else he would know that man's birth date, but I think he actually took time before the show to memorize the entire audience's birthdates. DON'T SCROLL AWAY LOL Ok, I know, I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. If you've watched the one-man show called "In and Of Itself" you could see how it's possible for someone to have a brilliant photographic memory like this. Dan is also a HIGHLY paid magician who is paid handsomely to do amazing things, so it makes sense that he would put a day's effort into memorizing faces and birthdays for this one gig. Where did he get the birthdates? The audience may have been required to fill out forms to be allowed entry. Maybe scan their ID. Photos taken. Those procedures might not be normal for Jimmy's show, but the magician may have required it this time to make the trick work. Maybe it's far-fetched but this is my best guess lol. So he knows this guy's birthdate and he calculates in his head "March 23rd, 2003 is 7039 days before today". The quick calendar math part is much more believable since he already showed a very similar trick at the beginning of this bit. So 7039 is now ready to be planted.
5.. Dan asks Jimmy to pull out his phone to make Jimmy do some math.
- Yep, that's Jimmy's phone. Dan actually grabs Jimmy's phone to open the calculator app for him, which is totally unnecessary. No, Dan didn't switch it out for an identical copy. Dan is actually going to secretly mess with Jimmy's phone. He turns the phone screen away from the camera and speaks to the audience while he uses some awesome sleight of hand to go to the phone's browser, then to a special website that mimics the standard phone calculator. But it's a trick calculator that Dan placed on this website just for this trick. How does Dan do this sleight of hand so well and convincingly while not looking? Well, you can see him looking down at least once to confirm what he is pressing. The website's domain could have a simple address like 7z4 dot org or something like that. But that's all of the sleight of hand it takes. Just open a browser, type the address and bam you're there. Oh yeah and he also typed "7039" into that trick calculator to set it up for actual fake math. This will force Jimmy's random number to be the exact number he needs. This will ALSO IMMEDIATELY TYPE "7039" ON THE CHALKBOARD IN THE ENVELOPE because the tablet is connected to the trick calculator website. Smart.
5. Dan asks the birth years of the 3 people that Jimmy did not choose to add them up on the calculator resulting in 6006.
- This is legit. We all did this at home. Those 3 people aren't actors either.
6. Dan asks Jimmy to type out a totally random 4th, 4-digit number to add to the total. That number is 1033 resulting in 7039.
- This is where the trick calculator does its final work. Dan asks jimmy to randomly type 4 numbers on the screen, but what is not shown on TV is where Jimmy is actually looking when he hits the 4 random numbers. Jimmy is probably looking up at Dan while he is typing these numbers. The directors might have cut out that specific direction of "don't look at the calculator when you type these numbers to make sure it's random" to maybe save time on the broadcast. It's not essential to cut that direction of broadcast out for the trick, but that may have happened. So Jimmy taps the calculator pad four times and the resulting number was 1033 REGARDLESS of what Jimmy actually typed, because Dan PLANTED 7039 into the calculator earlier and the calculator was setup to make sure the 4th number would be 7039 MINUS the previous total of 6006. Watch the footage again and see if it looks like Jimmy typed 1033. It doesn't right? It's also possible that Jimmy's own hand was covering the top numbers when he typed them OR the app wasn't showing these numbers as he typed them for some reason until he hit the 4th number. This was great at convincing us as well since we're all doing the math at home and getting the same answer. Also, important to note the camera angle here is below the phone so we don't see the actual numbers popping up as Jimmy types. Trickery.
7. Dan confirms that all of those 4 numbers added up equal 7039. Dan then asks the audience member to reveal the chalkboard prediction and it's 7039!
- Yup, Thank you trick calculator website
8. Dan then asks the audience member to reveal his birthday, March 23rd 2003. It's revealed that that birthday is 7039 days before today!
- Yup, a combination of extreme memorization skills, a trick website, a trick chalkboard, and some sleight of hand and misdirection. Many props to Dan. If he really did all of the memorizations that I suppose he did, then he has put many, many years into becoming a memorization master. Yet even with this great skill on hand, he dares not to publicize it for the sake of a fantastic trick. Well done, Dan!
In conclusion, go watch "In and Of Itself". It's streaming somewhere.
Great analysis. It's possible that Jimmy Fallon was somewhat in on it and tried to throw the ball specifically to a number of plants, each of whom had a birthday that Dan knew (or, for which he just had to memorize a specific 4-digit number for). Not all of the throws would land on the right person, but one would.
However, I agree that a magician of Dan's caliber would probably not leave it to chance, and he may we'll have done it as you said.
I think you're the closest I've seen here, but I don't think you're quite there with point 6. It looks to me like Jimmy is looking at the phone. I think you are basically right, but that Jimmy is in on it.
You wouldn't really need the memorization part. There could simply be an assistant backstage who has a list with all audience members' birthdays. That person controls the number on the chalkboard and on the calculator.
I saw another comment that said he uses a prop called the lynx blackboard. Great trick, though. Very cool effect.
9. This TH-cam comment itself is part of the trick, a plant to snag the attention of the science-minded and persuade them to watch the one man show you mention.
@@Syclone0044 lol it's an awesome show tho. Someone posted a tiktok like a year or 2 ago saying "Go watch it with no context now" and I was like uhhhh ok, and yeah it was dope.
That was kinda spooky but I absolutely LOVED it!!!
This was cool. I'm definitely looking at his online show now 👍🏼👍🏼
It is so good!
Fantastic!!! Great presentation!!!
When he cleans the small board you can clearly see there are no traces o chalk. That means it is electronic. So the answer is written via a voice command.
When you see him erase it on 2:22 the top left corner is a darker shade then where he erased it so it is written on not electronic
@@Iceleopard45 It´s parf of the design of the board. Am telling you the board if for sale on the internet. Otherwise there is no explanation and i´ts magic.
That explains the kid holding up the same number but how do you explain the number being the exact amount of days ago that he was born?
There are totally traces of chalk. The opposite side is clean.
I've no clue how he did it. Awesome.
Darcy's Kitten does
We're doing Dan's online show this Friday! Can't wait!
I love it when I CAN'T figure out how they did magic a trick. That was awesome.
you mean math
1. Do the 'trick' where you calculate the day you were born with; this is just mathematics. But it allows the assistant of the magician to see Jimmy's phone/model. Or maybe just to make sure the phone has internet access.
2. Ask all audience members to shout out their birthdays.
3. Pretend to write something on the blackboard; but really leave it empty. Put it in the envelope.
4. throw balls in audience
5. give envelope to one audience member. Assistant will now go ahead and figure out the person's birthday; studio knows it based on seat/ticket sales
6. Ask Jimmy to get out phone again and to unlock it. After Jimmy unlocks it, the magician TAKES THE PHONE, opens the calculator app
7. Magician starts telling a long story about how everybody can participate with; while he's telling the story, he opens the phone's browser, fills in an URL that shows/runs a fake calculator app, controlled by the assistant through the internet
8. Fill in the three years and add them together;
9. Magician needs 'one more number'; it will be random; he asks Jimmy to randomly enter the numbers; however the numbers are NOT random, the fake calculator app that's connected to the internet, will give specific numbers, the assistant came up with; which will bring the total to the number of days of the person that's holding the envelope. ...
10. The chalkboard is an iPad with e-Ink screen, the assistant has access to; you can chalk on it yes; but the assistant just let it display the correct number.
11. etc, etc. etc.
@@marcadenexus that's extremely convoluted.
I thought they just used to cuts/edits to cheat off camera
@@macadelic2492 I'm sure other magicians do that yes. But in this case i see no need for it. Yes, magic tricks are convoluted; if it was easy, it wouldn't be magic ..
Sadly, the minute I see a chalkboard, I know i'm in for an eTrick, which aren't my favorite because they're lazy. This was entertaining but these chalkboards need to go. It makes me feel like the magician didn't want to do "real" magic for the show. The Jimmy Corden magician a few days ago was much more entertaining.
This magician is GREAT!!! 🪄
Great routine. Omg. Love it. I wish be there. The final Twist is incredible
I was at this taping, and it blew my mind seeing it live.

That trick is nutty
How tf is that even possible? Bro, this dude is pure quality, his delivery is also quite nice. I know there's people out there that may come up with theories about this, looking forward to it.
It's a calculator force app.
It's actually math. Go to numberphile on TH-cam, they break the whole routine down. Guessing the day of any random date is a skill you can actually get yourself. And as long as there are 4 digits and 4 people, the reverse day count will always add up properly.

Ethan was born 1 week before I turned 18. Damn. I feel old.
But that was some advanced mathemagicary.
I've seen birthday math tricks before but not this advanced, kudos
Advanced? Someone just needs to calculate the number needed to complete the addition and tell Jimmy, or calculate the last date and tell Dan.
Also Ethan, the last guy, you saw he didn't use the microphone when he spoke? It's not like he is an idiot. It's to make you think oh he is just a normal person who doesn't know how to use a microphone and to distract you from the fact that he is actually involved in this.
@@Yusso We know it was a plant, but how, when he threw the balls randomly?
@@Yusso If the audience member next to him is just super into it and snatches the ball, your whole theory is ruined.

Regardless of method - C'mon! Amazing performance and super funny and entertaining. Thanks Jimmy and Dan White. A well spent 10 minutes of my time watching video. Inspiring. Now back to practicing my card tricks.
This was amazing!!
Wow! That was very impresive!
Beautiful! What a great trick!
This routine is so dope!!
That made me tear up. Wow.
OMG! This is really amazing.
He wrote nothing on that little chalkboard before putting it in the envelope. Notice how he was so careful to make sure nobody could see that there was nothing scribbled on it before placing it in the envelope. It's actually a "chalkboard" of sorts that doubles as a tablet. Someone backstage did the math on the fly and sent the sum figure to the tablet, which renders the final tally in a font that looks like it's handwritten in chalk. Still very entertaining.
He also chose to write the number 7 differently. Interesting.
1. at 2:46 there is no way he is writing 7039 the movements are totally wrong I suspect he hasn't written anything . 2. The lady in the audience who's birth year is 1999 doesnt catch the ball at all? maybe just a red-herring. 3. There are devices called LYNX blackboards - they are linked by bluetooth - if you write something on one board in special magnetic chalk it sends it via bluetooth to the other - you can have the receiving device load a pre-loaded images or replicate excatly. 4. at 2:57 "Im going to place the prediction inside this envelope so nobody can see it" for a good reason - he hasn't actually written anything on the board 5. He makes sure the assistant in the audience is holding up the envelope so there is no bluetooth signal interference between the big LYNX board he writes 7039 on and the smaller LYNX board that replicates the number from a pre-loaded image I suspect as it's not exactly the same.
Imagine the risks of trying to rely on Bluetooth for real-time data transmission from the stage to the audience though, even worse if the audience all still has their phones on them (doubtful, I bet they are required to surrrender them before they enter) causing a storm of radio transmissions in the room

I usually try to figure these out but I give up and I have no clue! This was amazing!
Agreed, magic tricks on late night shows are always fun to try to figure out! But sadly, if you see a chalkboard and especially the iPad secondary chalkboard, then you're not in for a treat, you're in for a store-bought magic trick (with personal touches of course). Modern day magic has become cheap. Anyway, Corden's show just had a mentalist on a few days ago, his show was also entertaining, but no electronics and apps involved. More fun to figure out.
You forgot to put the word simply in front of amazing 😂
its the quantitative aptitude interview question
That is definitely mind-blowing
I can usually figure these things out, but for now, I'm stumped on this one...
This guy is a legend!
Wow Excellent presentation.
this was unbelievable on so many levels. how is this even possible.
Well the first and last part are actually constant. The shows date and the date he met jimmy in that hotel is obviously fixed. It'll always be a difference of 7039 days. So he had already thought that i need to come to a solution of how to get to 7039 days with the audience
@@AbsolAhm that's actually really well thought through, yeah so he got the 7039 then reversed engineered the outcome, kinda like a comedian writing a punchline then coming up with the jokes story and build up after.. like this explanation ahmad!
@@TheVarietyProject thank you :-)
But the 7039 days wasn’t the time passed since they first met, it was the time passed since that random audience members date of birth…
@@brianwallace9298 it is, you can calculate it yourself
The small board is probably electronic. So when it catches a specific voice command the number probably appears. Or a command via the big board.

Dan: "Jimmy do you believe in fate?"
Jimmy: "I'm already married man."

the fact that he wrote the "7" different on the smaller board makes him suspicious.
I noticed that too. Honestly all the numbers are different.

wow that was soooo awesome! 👽✨✨✨✨
7:03 The magician should be like "or we can look at the hidden number i wrote down and you gave to the audience" as they look in horror lol
This has to be some mathematical trick lol
Wait a minute, as someone who ALWAYS uses the ‘french style’ number 7 (with the little line in it like on the small chalkboard), I find it very hard to believe that this magician guy didn’t write the number 7 on the big chalkboard in the same way…almost as if someone else, somehow, wrote 7039 on the small chalkboard.
Very suspicious indeed. 🧐🤔
Damn your onto something
He wrote it right in front of you tho..No camera tricks here buddy!
But they didn’t show the guy for a long time
Very interesting. However it’s just a math trick. For some reason that’s what “magicians” do now

@@tradeo8899 Jimmy is a stooge on this one. Thats how the trick is done. There is one other thing going on but i wont talk about that other then to say it involves the whole audience.
@@tradeo8899 one of two things can explain that. First, you need to understand that the studio knows the birthdate of everyone in the audience.
1. Jimmy is in on it and has a producer tell him what number to "randomly" type in the calculator
2. The magician uses a fake calculator program by opening Safari on Jimmy's phone and quickly typing in a URL (he has time to do this when they are joking about Questlove using his phone). The fake calculator is actually controlled by a producer backstage who knows the birthdates and has already done the math.

the questlove instagram magic trick was the CRAZIEST one to me😂😂😂
Funny how there are so many guys who are 100% convinced that they know how the trick was done......and yet they don't agree on the actual technique lol. I mean, 9 chance out of 10 that most of the information we got was just to distract and part of it was most probably relatively simple math (I suppose, I'm not pretending that I know exactly how this works.) but one dude is like "Oh the magician's assistant told Jimmy what number to press because he managed to find out the date of birth of the person sitting right there in the audience and then the chalkboard was actually an electronic device" while the other guy is going to say "You can see that they cut and edited the montage!!!! The audience is in on it!!!!"...There's nothing wrong with not knowing for sure lol, well unless you actually think that magic is a real thing and that these aren't just tricks. One thing is for sure, none of us is doing magic on the tonight show right now lol.
The trick is Jimmy knew the number, so all he had to do is some subtraction from the current value on the calculator (supposing no one among the audience was born after 2020, this trick should always work...). Now, the beauty of a magic trick comes in when people can't figure it out, that's what makes it better, so in my opinion it was an average trick, but of course some people will find it amazing.
@@willconcord I'll refer to my original message ;) but sure, it'd make sense...just as other theories not involving the host would :).

He's the best!! Love Dan! 💖
My birthday is September 19th. But so is Jimmy’s, and that’s why he picked that date. Lol
For anyone trying to figure out the trick, here's a hint. The numbers written on the small chalkboard at 7:30 and the numbers we saw Dan write directly on the big chalkboard at 7:00 are not the same handwriting.
Was going to comment the same
I also have seen that but still have no idea how he did it😁
You don't know how he did it too.
@@rsoe9158 I don't know for sure, but here's how I think it works. When everyone says thier birthday, it is being recorded so an assistant can review it and get the birthday of everyone in the audience. Jimmy throws 4 random balls, this part truly is random. They add up 3 of the birth years. The calculator app is a fake app that can be controlled by the assistant. The assiant adds the last guys birthday and figures out the "random" number needed to make the trick work. They make that number come up on the calculator no matter what Jimmy types. You can see in the close up, it looks like he's hitting 1111, but that's not what it comes back. That is why he is supposed to do it without looking. The small chalkboard is an e-ink display and the assistant writes the number on the chalkboard that makes the trick work. Thus why the handwriting doesn't match. Still clever AF and got me the first time I watched it.
😡
What type of sorcery is this and how in the...???🤯
Amazing! Many humans who are adults that were born after 2000! It’s a little shocking! I still have the habit of starting the year with “19…”Amazing!! Now what was that number thing he did?

Also quesmark side had the number when opened the side with value was jot the question mark side of envelope, was still fun though
3:03 in text and question mark are toward him
7:25 question mark also facing person but number is facing camera

good to see some Hogwarts alumni putting their skills into good use
mannn. that guy is soooo smart hahah, i have no idea how he did that AT ALL! 10/10 !
The seven on the big blackboard is written the American way and the seven in the envelope is written the European way- they were obviously not written by the same person!
and the 9 is not the same
Good observation!
Nope. I write my sevens in both of those ways; sometimes with the little horizontal slit and the other times without it and I’m American. Also, not saying you’re wrong but is that supposed to somehow reveal the trick? If so, how?
fine, could be a rigged blackboard, but how did he do the ending?
If the audience has to show ID to get into the theater, the person updating the electronic chalkboard in the envelope has plenty of time to check it.
Jimmy you remembered my birthdate 😂😂😂
