Dude in the du rag drinking 40's and eating onions, living the best life
Freshest breath ever back then. 👊
Lmfaooo
This thread has me dying 😂😂😂😂 that’s an orange 😂😂😂😂
Best damn onion ive ever laid eyes on, scrumptious
Haha
I've never seen a guy take the "Hide the card from the magician" position as seriously as the 2nd dude LOL
Whahaha so true lol @1:17
Lmao 😂😂😂
Yeah! He's brilliant, absolutely brilliant. 🍻
On WPT final table there’s no such
He was also the 3rd 4th 5th 6th dude
“Hold up lemme get my girl” words you should never say in front of David Blaine, he’ll make her disappear too 😂
Thought he was talking about a daughter or something
@@ride.the.flowent4811 the other guy is from Alabama tho. don't matter no cuz
Thats why he said it
Aye facts ... New generation don't know how big a Playboy David was back in the day ... I mean, dude kept pace with Leo and Toby, must've been fun hanging w the rat pack!!
@@dominicvega9267 chill baby
"you the master of card karate, I wanna be yo student"
Had me dying
lmao!
@@clydefrog8711 😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Am I the only one that finds it hilarious that that guy can still manage eat an orange while having his perception of reality broken.
@ranger1986ka was that supposed to be funny
@ranger1986ka idiot
@ranger1986ka I found it funny. 😂
@ranger1986ka I love racist jokes as much as the next guy, but that was lazy.
ranger1986ka off the mark? Or in another fuckin galaxy? Get back to the drawing board
I love how when they ask him to do it again he just does something new. A pro
This is 1 of the keys to being a successful magician, never do the same trick twice in a row unless you're ready for it. Instead have variations ready to go as well as other tricks. Like you said, he's a pro at this. Anyone interested in performing should study how he handles those he's interacting with & controls their focus.
@@RoyalMountedAnkleBiters exactly, and if the trick is tricky enoughm u can show it more then once, ofc, depends how many people are around you
Over the years he just found it’s better to walk off and let the magic simmer in the persons mind.. the story the spectator tells them self is a far greater magic no magician could match up to.
Never do the same trick twice
i love how they ran further and further after every trick
checking out new zip codes every trick
@@shaunrigby1 DAMN RIGHT LMAO
Haha 😄 Hilarious observation
“Do the one you did to me.” He said that probably 10 times
Bless him he wanted her to see that trick that’s why he called her in the first place
Haha I was about to comment this EXACT statement
@@GoGetYourShinebox i know, the magician should have done it. im on his side
Non stop repeating themselves.. do tell... my buddy actually quit a job teaching at a certain school after 3 months. Dead serious.. he couldn't take the non stop repeating. He said anytime something came up every one of the students would repeat them selves 20 or 30 times lol.
@@lilmac4202 he does do it again for her at the end bro
"yo, yo you from from erf or suthin?"
-Black guy, NYC 1997
'you like the master of card karate, I wanna be ur student' - same black guy, a little more beer later, NYC 97'
😂😂😂
What is erf?
@@mcseedat He is saying "earth"
💀💀💀💀
HOL UP HOL UP HOL UP HOL UP HOL UP
LMAO
Hey go get my girl
Judge Dredd ))
I never seen this shit before while drinking hahaha
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA (laught in spanish)
This is like watching historical footage from another epoch. A brief snippet used to show what daily life was like in NYC in the 90's.
Yes bc before covid
Makes me feel super old because I remember watching these when they were new on TV. Time is relentlessly fast.
My thought exactly
When it was normal
@@TallShawnNetwork because it’s before 9/11. Before we lived in a terror-based society.
I love how the 2nd dude walks up with sort of a tough exterior, doesn’t really seem too bothered by everything, and then when David did the trick it’s like the dude was a child again for a sec. Kinda beautiful man these are the best david blaine “stunts” right here.
"hold on, hold up, hold on, hold on ,hold up, stay right here"
@@Original-Phantom 😂😂
The reactions of all these people are so cool! You can see David's smile, and understand why he does this.
The money, right
Beats working for a living.
ya they're not paid...
@@TheCynicalB David gets paid, you soggy bread. 😊
Been about 6 months you still miserable hahahahaha
He the master of card karate
I wanna be your student....lol
Card karate! 🤣🤣🤣
😄😆🤣😂
had me dying lmaooo
😂😂
8:19
that 90s vibe! Miss those days!
This special was awesome!
“Black people don’t just laugh, they relocate.” - I forget the name of the comedian.
Chris something I think
Chris Delia
Mr bean
Michael Richards...
Albert Einstein
Imagine this guy watching recent Blaine's tricks and going " yoooo hold up hold up hold up"
Hol up* . D is silent.
And running away from the video
I can see him at 70 watching Blaine on tv running around his house with a walker saying "hole up hole up hole hole hole up, where's my girl. Come hole up!"
No wonder they're buddies when they laugh they both ran like a mile away and came back🏃🏼💨
It's always funny when they run away then immediately come back. 😄
Key and Peele
LMAO running away in disbelief
Ive noticed that with black people they run away when thetrick is done havent seen anyone else do that must be a cultural thing .
@@michaelgarbett7656 hi, actual black person here, can 100% confirm this is accurate. i'm not allowed to elaborate any further, but yes we have to run a quick lap after a magic trick blows our mind.
Black people reacting to magic looks like a Key and Peele sketch.
They don't just react, they relocate
@@michaelkeller5927 😂
@@michaelkeller5927 If you're going to use other people's jokes, at least give them credit. It's weak AF to present them as your own.
This line is from a Chris D'Elia stand-up set.
well, in both cases they are actors so you're not far off
Blaine so good that even Michael Caine at 6:31 came to watch him perform.
I love how what he's doing is turning grown people back into the state of 2 year olds in terms of amazement. "Do it again, again". You've just seen it seconds ago, but since you can not comprehend, the repetition hardly takes anything away from it.
2:48 he's says "are u from earth or sumthin" lmao
aye run LMFAO
lmfao best part... you from earf or sumthinn?
I like 2:55 "u from this planet or sumthin?" they're both from space themselves obviously
How is that not a meme
Like, how'd you know
One of the greatest and most inspirational card handlers of all time.
at the very end “you should be on TV yo, be safe, have a good day yo” i love people man
these guys like Blaine really are masters of misdirection. He does everything so low key and chill but he's pulling some serious wool over people's eyes and it takes years of dedication to get that good plus a boat load of natural talent. Kudos David.
Yeah... That's right..... Well said.... Agreed...... Copy that.....
@SoftserveSodium Remember, she didn't pick the card in her mind; she chose a card that she saw in the deck.
So, David had to "force" her to see that card and focus on only that card. One way is to put the "forced" card on top of a special card; this special card is physically shorter than every other card.
While you're riffling through the cards with your finger, the special card will be skipped (due to being shorter and not being touched by your riffling finger). This causes the "forced" card to be visible for slightly longer than every other card, which will usually be the card she notices and remembers.
Does that make sense?
@@jacobshirley3457 bro breaking magician rule #1
@@imbadatnames8993 Rules are made to be broken.
“You the master of card karate.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I wanna be your student” xD
"He's the master of card karate and i wanna be a student" legendary line
Netflix or somebody needs to bring this show back if he wanted to do it. These type of reaction videos never get old lol
David was gonna be big no matter what. With talent and dedication like his, the man had no choice but to make it big.
"You should be on tv, you numba one yo"
yo yo yo yeahhhhhhhh mofutv
Little did he know how big blaine would become
What a great time to be alive! World just feels better when we go through the archives and look back.
Much respect for David for going to the streets and doing free magic and entertain people.
The one guy who gets his girl is super smart, what a slick move
dude loves his girl :D
Casey Mays girls love magic!!!
Slick...? Wasnt he in Heat
@@peterkawe6451 just watched it again the other day. Such an amazing film man
yeah that was actually kinda sweet
Lol 😂 at 4:24 when David Blaine picks up the spectators card it flashes from underneath so I kept pausing and unpausing and the card says nice try haah
wow that's detail
legend
But why
@@Celohyoudee he removed the card that we was double picking with
I believe it's a video edit to blank out what was actually on the card, "nice try" as in you wish you could see what was actually on it too bad we edited it out
This is my favorite reaction 😂 even david is smiling, usually he just playing cool
I just love their reactions, this is the true beauty and wonder of magic
8:19 "He the master of card Karate, I wanna be your student"
this is the first time I've seen him without a black shirt on
CHICKEN KURRY ikr
He wore green and grey also.
Ikr
"That's not my card." Yes dude, that was your card.
I know how 90% of these are done and I STILL can't see him doing them. Blaine really is something else. I'm glad he got the recognition. The one dude had it right.. "He ain't from this planet."
It's such a childlike wonder whenever we can see magic before our own eyes!
"Ayo do dat shit again"
I love the way ANYBODY reacts to close up magic. It's so personal at that level it's almost in unbelievable.
Legend has it, that David Blaine is still standing at that street corner performing to more and more of the first guys friends, because he doesn't want to let him go. Hold on, hold on, hold on...
Try to be more original there’s about 100 billion legend has it nonsense on the Internet!
@@artifacthunter1472 haters gonna hate...
I love how they just run away so fast after every trick 😂😂
8:19 'he's the master of card karate...' hahaha
The father of all reaction videos. This started it all....
Facts
David Blaine started his journey just to make his mom smile and bring her to awe. Thank you Dave’s Mom! We now all get to be in awe.
I like how he starts off super suspicious and weary, but by 7:16 he's been so intimidated by the magic that he starts trying to make deals with it and get it on his side. 😂
"Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!" hahah this guy is the best
4:39 when you hit the wrong hole on your girl to many times 😂
It aint a normal deck!
O my god😂😂
lmaaaooooooo...your comment is underrated
Dog you fooling lololol
Ahahahahaha
A treasure piece of footage for magic historians. A demo of the magic world fundamentally changing before it happened.
6:57 Got caught trying to finish the double lift flick and just keeps rolling, I love it. Even the best can make mistakes.
They’re probably like the easiest tricks in the world for him but it’s amazing for everyone else
4:06 that dude is sooo entertained by david blaine, he pulled his stuff out his bag and started eating it while watching david like hes watching TV or something lmfao he was confused in the start probably thinking "whos this whiteboy?" then in the end, he was like "fuck, this dude is the devil aha"
Blaine: “it’s a normal deck”
Random lady: “it ain’t a normal deck” 😂
The double lift is a powerful move.
"My card was red" 😒
"DO THE ONE YOU DID TO ME" 🤣🤣
You could not ask for better reactions 😂
He even explained two of those tricks to them and they didn’t catch on , he slowed the flight card down and told them and showed them the flight . What a guy , even when its explained how he did it , our minds won’t let go of what we think we know .. 🤙🏽
except the 'super fast' card flight wasn't real lol, he just switched to a double lift, then flicked the cards to pretend they went at a super fast speed
Their reaction is so priceless i love watching david
This was the greatest Era for life period. Ain't no time better than the 90s early 2000s. Man I feel devastated, it all went by so fast. If I knew it would come to this trash Era I would've savored those moment till the last drop. But instead this Era hit me in the blink of an eye. Can we please go back to this time in life
911 changed alot
Stuff like this needs to be back on TV. Damn I miss these times
Muggles: "Do it again, do it again"
Wizards: "Never do the same trick twice"
Those black guys got the best reactions lol. Their reactions are priceless, I laugh every time I watch him showing stuff to black folks. Just awesome ))
SolAlbus Yeah, this comments are uncomfortably racist...
reminds me of when blacks showed whites salt lol damn near destroyed yourselfs over table salt lmao
David Blaine gives special credit to these guys as their reactions were responsible for convincing the producers that his "idea" could work!!
Noting the differences in reactions of people from different cultures is not racist. You are inventing dragons to slay. There is enough real racism in the world to make you feel uncomfortable. One COULD say that only racist people see racism when it's not really there. Just sayin'.
Dontcha Freefall I'm not saying comments on difference in culture or reactions are racist. I'm saying THESE comments are racist.
2:22 it was at this moment he realized that his entire reality has been changed from the ground roots upwards
Always great fun. Thanks for posting, Illusions, Thank you David Blaine
This has to be one of my favorite videos on TH-cam .. real , raw
If you slow down the play speed to 0.25 @ 4:23 there was nothing on the card when it was flipped but a millisecond later something like" Nice try" shows up and disappears again.
Was that edited it by the editor to troll or was i seeing shit?
Damn... wtf? Part of the trick?
You seeing shit bro, we don't see anythin
@@IDMYM8 It's definitely there! As the bottom of the card becomes visible, it blanks out, and is replaced by NICE TRY in large red letters.
I assume the original editor was trying to keep us from figuring out how the trick is done. Nice catch J 17Legacy!
It's because this frame reveals the trick. All of these tricks are slight of hand. He doesn't take the top card. He takes one under it, but he does it so incredibly fast that you can't tell the difference even at 0.25 speed.
click dot on keyboard with video paused to go frame by frame and you will clearly see it
i could’ve swore kendrick lamar was from compton 😅
No one in this video looks like K Dot thi
check again
i think second homie looked like DMX
Take notes:
When they ask "do it again", you move on to a new trick. Keep them amazed, guessing while keeping them excited for a new trick.
And always prep more tricks than you expect them to keep asking for.
I love the reactions, especially when folks start running!
I know how he did many of these, and I STILL can't see him do them.
His skill is insane. So smooth, so fast, while looking like he's moving slow and casual.
IT is his full time job! He is training for such dexteritate but with the internet NOW I can reveal the tricks! Întreținere like him must cum with something new...or is boring!!
Yea the precision and skill he shows, even watching his videos frame by frame looking for the trick is nearly impossible
I love how they ran away every time David Blaine does a trick.
7:08 even the camera had its mind blown.
David brings joy to those he interacts with. If you watch these clips, people smile and laugh as he does his thing. Making people's day just a little better is a good thing, no matter how you do it.
I don't know about some of these weird comments but this is a classic. Seeing how young he was and the affect he had on the mind with these now simple card tricks is awesome.
2:36 Wiz Khalifa was walking across the street at this exact moment and heard this man shouting hold up... and the rest is history.
i love this video bro...his reaction is priceless
Legend is he is still thinking about that card to this day.
Ahhh memories ... pre-Covid open air street freedom . Miss it
When the camera pulled away from them in the last few secs, with them smiling and waving, I just felt sentimental. Wonder where they are now - 2022 - and what has happened to them all this while. Have they got better as a family? Or has life broken and beat them down. Such is the wonderful beauty of 'videos' - timeless, yet nostalgic.
I felt the same exact feeling man. They were all standing there like a slice from a time travel painting...then the film froze into a still shot paused. I've walked on that exact block with my now lost and far away girlfriend who I tried to marry a few months too late and she was gone to the other side of the world. Her and I walked those same blocks on a bus trip to NYC right at the time this pilot for Blaine was filmed in the late 90's. I also immediately wondered, what happened to these people, are they still alive, the woman standing with the baby at her feet, the two dudes, one drinking from a bottle in a paper bag, the other eating an orange...on an obvious hot summer day in Manhattan. The nostalgia just hit me. If I could time travel....I'd go back right now, and have my girl their again, but I wouldn't let her go as I did.
@@philosopher0076 Take care man. It's also the same for us - strangers in this world - yet conversing over air and talking to each other. While our words will be captured and stored in this space, once 'time' is pulled out and stretched beyond 100 years, we will all be gone still. Peace.
@@dantlanz9239 True. Time is elusive and abstract and, "waits" for no man. We only have our now. Everything else, past or future things are just mist and dreams which we recall and want back...or dream and hope will one day come. I, at now almost 57 just want my old girl back in my arms ( Her now in Australia and 48 and married for 10 years to a far far younger guy than herself and who she never really loved ).
She was THE ONE...and I blew it.
5.27min - 5.57min really does a nice job of displaying the fascination of magic both for the audience/participants as well as the magician.
(You can see it on their faces, including on the magician's face).
It's kinda crazy how everyone here commenting "black people" this and "black people" that. Guys, relax, these are black working class folk. Stop acting like all black people are the same. That being said, the 90s NY nostalgia hit hard in this one
Blackies
i miss NYC bein grungy and chaotic
(edit: lots of people replying to this with stuff like "wish granted or how's it now, etc) Nope sorry it's not the same. The whole vibe was different. While I said grungy and chaotic, it was still a working city that people loved to go to. Now people don't even wanna go there and everyone is leaving.
Me too
How is it now?
Areagamer51 ENT like Disney world
@@areagamer51ent97 now... it's crazy cuz of all the shootings and an insane democratic mayor. the grungy and chaotic I was referring to was the overall vibe and feel of the city. the craziness it is now isn't like the craziness it was back then
@@1ButtonDash yeah that's what I thought you meant things have changed since those days
These three people are the reason Blaine got that TV special.
These videos seem like a life time ago. Crazy how time flys
makes me so happy watching this!
Black mama is fine af
I swear that dude was eating an onion at the start of this
😭😭😭
These are beautiful!
The pure delight and wonder that he gives is an inspiration... Just for a moment we are all happy children again
I love how they were all annoyingly skeptical at the beginning and became best buddies along the way 😂
“Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up, Hol’ up...”
My favorite thing about this is David Blaine has become huge over the years and there are just 4 random people in New York that can actually claim they had a private show by David Blaine...it's such a nice thing
Miss the 90s. This is perfect.
5:30 hahaha love these reactions
The one dude was acting like it wasn't his card as if Blaine was trying to scam him or something. Bro, it's a card trick not money...
Lmao word
Bruh you never know man gotta be cautious. Scams and magic tricks look pretty much the same. Only one involves money lol
@@renriquez1994 thats the word
@@renriquez1994 straight up
Bro this is the best pilot ive ever seen, fucking hilarious and mind boggling. Now wonder people trusted his vision.
I see he still has a bit of his humanity back in the days. He still smiles seeing their reactions.
