I Exposed the World's Most Famous Magic Tricks!

Today I'll be revealing the world's most famous magic tricks. These tricks look impossible until you know the secret. Starting with the first trick. This is a regular pen and we all know how much you love shoving your pen in random holes. So let me show you this next trick. I'm gonna make the pen go through my nose. This is very simple to do. While you push the pen up your nose, just slide your fingers up to cover the pen. And when you want to pull out, just slide it down to your mouth, bite onto it, and slide your fingers out. The tricks will only get harder from here. From chopping off my arm to splitting my friend in half. What if I told you I could fit this bottle cap through this solid glass bottle? It's not fitting through the top. I'm actually gonna stuff it through the bottom. Seems impossible, right? We just have to put our full concentration into this and it will go through. Look at that. The bottle cap is in there. If I told you that was real, I'd be capping. So here's a trick. You need two bottle caps. One for the outside, one for the inside. Then hide a tiny magnet in between your fingers. So when you grip the bottle, no one can see it. Now just slide the inner bottle cap up to the magnet, which will allow you to hide it in plain sight. And when I slap the bottle, it shakes the inner bottle cap loose and I can just throw the other one away in one fluid motion. Each trick is gonna get harder from here. Like cutting through my own arm. Keep your eyes on this box of crayons. It's pretty simple. Just normal crayons. But watch carefully. Where did they go? They completely disappeared. I can't even show you around the box. Just a normal box of crayons. But just like in life, it's not about what's on the outside. It's about what's on the inside. Let's open this up and you'll see how the trick is done. The crayons are cut up and taped together on the back so that they can stay together. And to perform the trick, we just place the cut up crayons into the box, close it up, and pinch the box just enough to prevent the crayons from falling. And to make them vanish, you just have to perform a shaking motion while releasing your fingers. For this next trick, ask for a bill from your audience. So here we have a completely normal $50 bill that I just got. And we're gonna fold it up and we're gonna make it defy gravity. And if we just open it back up, you can see a completely normal bill. How's that possible? If you subscribe right now, I'll tell you the secret. This magic trick uses one of the fundamental skills of magic called palming, where you hide stuff in plain sight in your palm. Right now, it looks like I'm not holding anything. And that's because the coin is sitting right in my palm. And to make the trick look convincing, you have to make your palms look natural. And to hide the coin in your palm, just place a coin in between your finger like that. If you do it right, no one suspects a thing. And to make the bill levitate, you have to fold the bill while secretly sliding the coin inside. So now when you balance it on your thumb, the coin acts as a counterweight. And when you're ending the trick, just secretly slide out the coin and open up the bill. Let's slip into the next trick. How many fingers do you have on your hand? Five. Look at how many fingers I have. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. I got more fingers for more fingering. It looks like I'm an alien. Until you know the trick. It's an easy illusion anyone can do. Place one hand down in a V shape like this. Bend your thumb. Take your other hand, layer it on top, and then curl your fingers over each other. And if you line it up just right, it looks like you're an alien. This trick was pretty simple, but each trick from here will only get more complex. After doing these tricks, I'm so hungry I could eat Mr. Beast right now. But since he's not here, I'll just eat this king instead. So we're just gonna rip off a corner. That's not going down very well. Magic. The secret is this is actually two of the same card. When you're doing the ripping motion, keep the back card folded with your thumb and only rip the front card. You can either eat the piece or throw it away. And to make the corner reappear, simply flick it with your thumb or move it with your lip. And that's how you wow the crowd. Moving on to the next trick. Watch this card carefully because now the tricks are getting more deceptive. Keep your eyes peeled because this is called the snap change. For this trick, I'm actually using two cards. First, hold the cards in the corner with two fingers on the front and your thumb on the back. And to perform the trick, you're kind of doing a snapping motion with your fingers and you're tucking the front card to the back. Here's a pro tip. I think of the motion as pushing forwards with my thumb and pulling backwards with my middle finger. So it's more of a push. Now let's flip into the next trick. This next trick lets you phase paper through your phone. All you gotta do is just pull the tab right here and look. And if you want to pull it back, go in and out. I could do this all night. The secret is in this black film. At the right angle, it's the same color as our phone screen. And it has a hole in the middle that lets us poke a piece of paper through and around the phone. By blocking the side with my fingers, it creates an illusion that makes it look like the paper is going through the phone. But it's actually just moving under the film. Now the tricks are getting more deceiving. Just like the one coming up next. One of the great perks of being a magician is that you'll never have to worry about money. Here we have a dollar bill on my phone. But if we just perform our magic and it becomes real. But you can't buy anything with a dollar these days. Here we have a 50, which should be enough for a nice steak dinner. We got a real $50 bill right here. And if you're greedy, just pull out your phone again and what we can do is... And now you're ready to go shopping. I hate to tell you, but if this trick was real, the FBI would be knocking on my door right now. But it's not, unfortunately. Because this is actually just a photo. On my phone is a picture of the bill on the table zoomed in. Because we need the empty black space to make the trick look real. And behind the phone is where the magic happens. Because I have the bill and when I swipe, I swipe the photo. Which makes the bill disappear and pull out the cash at the same time. And if you do it fast enough, it looks extremely convincing. This is a knife. And this is my arm. Like I said, the tricks are only getting crazier. So I'm gonna use this knife to cut through my arm. Watch. If I remove the knife quickly, I think I'll be fine. There's no cut. Before I reveal the secret.

While it's obvious like this, if you angle the knife 45 degrees and tilt your arm towards you. And as you make a slicing motion, slowly wig out parts of your blade. And with a big movement, cut all the way through. This will look a lot cleaner. And when you're ready to pull out, fling your arm back while retracting the blade. The key to magic is selling the trick. How believable each trick is will depend on your acting and the story you tell around it. And that's up to your own creativity. After learning all these tricks, I've harnessed the power of mind control. I can make anything move simply by thinking. Watch. I'm gonna make this bill fold by concentrating really, really hard. Ta-da! You can only do this trick if you have a big brain like me. As the tricks are getting harder, they require more setup. So to do this trick, we have to first weave the string through the bill in an S-like pattern. Now we have to fold the bill to make these creases. Now I just hold the bill on my hand. And depending on how you want to perform the trick, you can hold the string with your other hand and pull underneath the table. Or you can attach the string to your foot and perform the trick with no hands. Our magic powers are only growing stronger from this point forward. For this next trick, I'm gonna reveal the hidden message within your calculator app. Look, it's a normal app, right? Nothing fishy going on here. You can do divisions. You can do equations. But what you might not know is if you just give it a little shake, it reveals the hidden message. I love you. To perform this trick, you actually only need your normal iPhone. Here's how. Take a screenshot of the calculator tool and black out the number using the marker tool. Now you can add whatever text you want. For this one, I'll put subscribe. Next, go into your settings and toggle reduce motion. Finally, go to the screenshot you just edited, open your control panel, and click the calculator tool. Now you can perform your trick, show that the calculator is real. And as you shake the phone, secretly tap the photos button in the top corner. And your secret message will appear. We're gonna channel our inner David Blaine for the next trick. Because things are about to get dangerous. Don't worry, I'm alright. This tongue can still do work. But before that, let me show you how it's done. The secret isn't numbing cream nor my strong tongue. It's actually this body double. It's scarily realistic because it's made of silicone and has a texture of a real tongue. So at the beginning of the trick, put this in your mouth and then push it out while covering the sides with your lips. Now you can stick your tongue anywhere you want. This is a mini guillotine. Not to be messed with. They say carrots have the same hardness as a human finger. So let's see if it can cut through my finger. Are we sure this is a trick? So what happens if I put my arms through it? Will it be able to cut through? We sure there's a trick here? This is a trick I've been scared of this entire video. Okay, one, two. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How is that possible? Look, it can slide through the carrot, no problem. The secret is actually in the blade. There's actually a sliding piece I can control with my fingers. It's a real blade when it's fully extended. But when I place my arm through, I secretly retract the blade before slicing down. Combine that with the speed drop that hand motion and my Oscar worthy acting. You have a very, very convincing arm chopper. Now it's time for my grand finale. Here's my friend, Dale. Hi. And we have built a long and trusting friendship. Would you say you trust me with your life? Of course. But sadly, all good things must come to an end. Because today, I'm cutting him in half. You didn't tell me that. Don't worry, buddy. You'll be fine. This is a very real and sharp saw right here. I don't think he'd be able to survive this one. And he's fully trapped in here. Even he wanted to get out, I don't think he could. Don't worry, buddy. It's all magic. Believe in the magic. I don't know, man. In the magic. Are you ready for this? No, I really not. Three, two, it's go time. You ready? No, no, no, no, no. Okay, here we go. We're making the first cut. Okay, here we go. We made our first incision. It's getting so close to me. Hey, man, can I give you money or anything? I really don't want to do this. We got to do this for the viewers. And you're a part of making history. I'm going to be history if I die from this. Yeah, but at least you'll be remembered for something. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Nah, you'll be good, man. You'll be good. We are making great progress. We're almost through him. All right, Dale, you are my greatest trick. Oh, we're almost there. He won't be screaming for long. As we can see, we have fully sawed him in half. Let's check in on our friend. Hey, hey. What if I told you there is no trick? Magic is real, guys. Psych, wake up. Stop pretending. Are you good in there? I'm good. No pain? No pain. How is that possible? Leave your guesses in the comments to see the trick. You just have to come take a walk with me. Come behind. Ta-da. This is what's actually happening here. So the box is actually suspended on two tables. Because the box is suspended, there is empty space underneath for my friend to tuck his beautiful hips in. As I am cutting all the way down from the front, it looks like I'm cutting into my friend. But because his hips are underneath the table, I'm only cutting into the wood. And we even have a piece of thick wood right here to protect his thick wood. Glad my wood is safe. So we learned in this video, nothing is as it seems. There's always a hidden trick.
