Learning Card Magic With David Blaine!

Good to see you, man. How have you been? I'm great. It's been a minute. It's been a while. I was just thinking back about the balloons thing that we did and that was 2020. Yeah. Which was like two years ago. Two years ago. It's not as long as though, right? It doesn't seem like that. It does not seem like that long ago. This is a great space. Space. So YouTube enabled all this, huh? Yeah, so far. That's crazy. We're using every square inch of it too. Yeah, this is amazing. What a great, and the first thing I see is movie magic. Perfect. Who here has seen the least of what I did, would you say? Probably me. Probably your first. Mix them behind your back. Yeah, behind your back so no one can see. Good. Whoa, whoa, whoa. These are fresh. But now they're mixed. These are fresh. They're so slippery. Don't worry. That's a great start. You left one out, which is good. That was my card. No, we'll do it again. But let me just show you all the cards are definitely different, right? Okay. You mix them all? Yep. Yes? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look through the deck. Don't look for, you're thinking of a card. Yeah. You never said your card. Correct. You mix the cards, but you even drop them a little bit. Yes. Look at all the cards really quick. Just fast. Just like that. Spread them. Just like that. Close them. That's it. Done. Okay. Done. Okay. You thought of a card? No, the one that you thought of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What card was that? The Jack of Clubs. The Blackjack. Yeah. Look. Watch how fast this is here. I do this. I take the Jack of Clubs like this, and I do that. Did you feel it? Yeah, under the watch. Look, look, look. It's the Blackjack. The Blackjack. Oh, God. Look at it. It's exactly. I told you guys not to wear a watch today. I'm showing. You know, you mix the deck, and I'm showing you that they're all somewhat. You agree they're a little bit mixed, right? Like there's no specific order to the deck as we go through. Yes? Right. But I'm going to give it another mix just to be fair. So look. And look at it. Is this a real. Like are they actually getting mixed? Fair? Yeah. So you would say they're definitely all mixed, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold these. Okay. You're going to deal. Hold your hands face down. Okay. Marquez, point to one of his hands. Point to. Yeah, and make a fist with that hand. Now hand the deck to Marquez. Now Marquez is going to deal them face down one at a time. And never open your hand. Okay. I'm never going to touch it. Face down one at a time slowly into a small pile. And stop whenever you want. Make a small pile and stop anywhere. You're done? Yeah. Ironically, I was counting. You stopped at the eighth card. Look at it. Turn it over. And the eighth card is an eight. But look. Wait. Hold on. Look. One card more and it would have been a ten. But you stopped on the eight. One card less would have been a six. But you chose the eight. So look what I'm going to do. On my right, I'll put the club. So let's call this the club. Right? That's a club. And I'll do the eight like that. Yes? Okay. Yeah. Okay? Yeah, yeah. You go get that all down. Put it all down. Should I keep my hand closed? Yeah, yeah. Never open it. Okay. But what's important is choose one. The eight or the club. Pick one. Point to one for me. Which one? Which one's for me? The club. So the club goes for me? Yeah. Okay. So then you get the infinity sign. So look. If I do this. See how I just pulled it out of my hand? Hold on. Wait. Oh, yeah. I didn't show you guys. So I pulled it out of my hand. But hold on. Look. David, no. You pulled it out of your hand. Okay. If you open your hand right now. Do you want me to open my hand? That's up to you. What? What the ****? Magic dog. What? I didn't draw that. You're in the tattoo gang, David. I didn't draw that on my hand. Wow. Okay. Did you do this before? That's crazy. I'm really confused. You totally did like this. You did shuffle and they are all mixed, right? So as I go through like this, just yell stop on a little group. So say stop as I dribble. Which one here? The second one. Okay. That one. Okay. So again, say stop. Stop. Okay. There. Say stop. Stop. Like that? Yep. Okay. Pick up one of the cards for me. Pick up. Just take a card off. Yeah. An ace. Oh, good. Look. And another ace. Take another ace if you want. Take all. Yeah. Take the. So that's pretty impressive alone, right? Just cutting to three aces. I mean, immediately, that's impressive. And now, look, two eights. And he shuffled these. So basically, you shuffled them on the table. Then you cut. Then you hit the aces, which is interesting. And you did mix them thoroughly. Yes. Okay. Can you turn two piles face down? Face down. Yep. Good. Now, can you push these so they really mix into those? So face down. You see how they're really going into each other? Can we all agree? Yeah. There's eights everywhere. Yeah. But everybody agrees. Everybody agrees those were mixed by him. Yes? Yes. Okay. Should I keep going? Well, hold on. I want to make this random. Which pile do you want to flip over? This one or this one? You choose. I'll stick with this one. Okay. So flip the whole pile over. And can you push. And look. Everything is different, right? Yeah. So here, like this. And you know what? Push the big pile so they go more. Yep. Perfect. And you're going to choose one last time which pile to flip over. So you choose the last pile to flip. I'll do this one now. Okay. So flip it. And can you push everything into one pile? Would you all be impressed if every single card turns face down? Yes. Yeah. What if they're all face down and in order? Make the deck neat. Make the whole deck neat. Make it neat. Yep. Perfect. Because I never want to even touch them. So he's making it neat. That's perfect. That's good. Push those in so they all. You're doing great. Perfect. Thanks, Ben. So we guys agree that he did everything. I didn't touch a deck. Turn them long ways like this. Yeah. Good. And can you spread them across the table? Everything is now. Everything is now face down and in order. Yeah. Let me. So there's 52 cards in the deck. Right. Uh-huh. And April 7th is a four sevens and two sevens. Wait. What? April 7th. I'm saying you shuffled everything. There's a four, seven, seven, 52. And he did flip, flip, mixed on the table. You did everything. Uh-huh. And I never touched a deck. Face down and in order. Wait. But these are face up. Oh, wait. But hold on. Somebody went and got a dollar bill before. Oh, it was you. You got a bill. Yeah. And then you signed it to make sure it was your bill. Yeah. But we never turned it over. We never saw the other side. Is that true? That's true. Because on the other side of the bill, there's usually a serial number. You can't do this to me. You turn your bill over that we never looked at. Which I've had my hand on this entire time. And when you read us the serial number, it starts with a four. Four. Wait. Four. Seven, seven. Zero, nine. Oh, this is a zero, nine, two, five, two. Oh, my God. I went to get water for one minute. Wait. So you never saw the bill at all? No. It was face down. Hey, I don't have it. You might want to just look at it and see it this way. Because it is four, seven, seven, zero, nine, two, five, two. So look and check. Four, seven, zero. This is my laundry money. What just happened? I just gave Marquez a lesson. Yeah, we got a quick lesson. You know what? To be honest, I think you should be involved in the trick. Okay. So you'll hold it? Yeah, I'll hold it. Okay. I think you should be involved. So I think you should sit here. All right. Yeah, you shuffled that. I did. A lot earlier. So. But it's your deck. Yeah. Okay. And I have this deck shuffled here. I'm going to just riffle through some cards and you just pick one. But wait, hold on. But don't say it. Don't say it. Don't tell him. But who are you going to make guess the card? Who are you going to make find his card? Let's have Brandon do it. So Brandon's going to find the card that he's going to think of. So Brandon, go easy on him. Okay. You're going to think of a card. You're going to find the card. Don't say it. Just think it. Don't say it. Just look inside. Look inside. Okay. Good. Don't say it, though. Okay. Don't say it and he's going to guess the card. Okay. But you agree it's impossible. Right. Okay, good. So let's try it. Allegedly. Define. So it's in here somewhere. Obviously. Yeah, but make this difficult. Make it complicated. So you shuffled it. I did. A lot. As a matter of fact, I'll just shuffle it, too. I'll just mess up. So now it's super sloppy, which makes it harder. Brandon, you have to be watching. Some upside down. So it's super sloppy. Okay. You agree? It's just nuts in here. Let's see. So look. Some are back to face. Back to face. Some are face to back. Face to back. Back to face. Yeah. So it's really all. Yeah. Do you guys all agree that it is completely mixed? Yes. Yes or no? Yes. Yeah. Good. Some are even back to back. Yeah? Let's just put this mess over by Brandon. Okay. So, Brandon, you have to find the card. Oh, wait. Before you do that, before you do that, I think it would be pretty impressive if first I turn all the cards back to right side up. That would be pretty impressive. They're all going to be face up? Yeah. I'm going to turn them all. That would be crazy. Back to right side. That would be amazing. You just learned this. That would be pretty. In like four minutes. That would be pretty good. Yeah. Wait. Let me see. They're all face up. If that works, spread it. Yeah. Slide it across the table. Let's see. If that works, I'm impressed. Okay. Come on. With the exception of one card. Oh, dear. Now, that's funny because I missed a card, but if I remember correctly, you found a card before. Oh, I did. You never said it out loud. Correct. And so Brandon is going to find this in David's shuffle deck that I reshuffled that you never said. Correct. And now there's a card. Can he say it out loud? Yeah. What was that card? It was the five of clubs. Don't do this to me. No. No, no, no, no. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Now, Brandon, you're going to try to see. He's going to go like this and try to see one inside. But don't do the king of dicks. Don't do the one that's here. As he goes through. So like whatever's in the face, don't see. But try to see one inside and don't say it. I'm still impressed that he learned this. Yeah, all of it. Yeah, that was pretty. That was cool. Yeah, yeah. If you were to guess, would you say the card he thought of was red or black? Just start with that if you were to guess. What would you say? What did you get? Red. Red? No. Well, then it won't work. Okay, no, no. Then hold on. No, then he's the wrong guy, too. He's next. Temporote. By the way, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it. So it's good that it's not so simple. I'm happy about that. Ready? Try it again. It's a little fast. Speed is tough. How about that? I think he has one. And it's nice that he's not even sure. We're going to find a good guesser eventually. You know the math thing about how many different orders of cards there can be? It's like 52 factorial. It's like more than grains of sand. And the universe. So this card deck could be in any order. Like truly. But we'll mess it up anyway. The whole right side up, upside down thing. Super unique order. it will it will never be in this order again and it's also the first time it's ever been in this order. And show them. Statistically. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. So and some are face up and face down I'm sure that also is a multiple of like some crazy number but if we just take that first time the deck has ever looked like that in the history of the universe but at least I can flip them all to be right side up. At least right like here go ahead. Let's see if let's see if I got that part. Okay I got that part. Yeah that part. There we go. Still crazy. There is one card. There is a card. And you weren't even sure about what card you thought of. It's so fast. It's so fast. Take it. What card was it? No. Did I get it? Yeah. Let's go. By the way his presentation is better than my presentation. We're talking about atoms in the universe. That took four minutes. You know the meme of like the woman with the numbers around her head That's currently. I like that. I like that. But if you're paying multiple. What? Got it. So what I was doing is I was watching everybody shuffle. I noticed that you were watching. Yeah. Yes. So I was paying attention but I could see all those cards in the back too. So if you hold one up this way I'll tell you what it is. Hold it up. Yeah. That one looks like the five of diamonds I think. Yeah. You're looking in his eyes. Nope. That one looks like the king of. Hold on. That looks like the king of weight. King of diamonds. Okay. I mean. Until I understand how this guy. I don't. I'm sure. I don't know. Can I just say one thing? So if you think I'm getting a reflection or whatever. Here's what you can do. You can just cut the deck and leave it like and just hold it like that if you want. In case you think there's some sort of reflection thing or whatever. All right. Full on. Shuffle. Cut. Nobody knows now what the top card is except one person in this room. They'll probably figure out. That looks to me like three of. That looks like three clubs. Adam's zooming on my face. That's good. It didn't matter though. You had the deck. I can't. There's no reflection though. Make sure it's mixed up. Yeah. You can even shuffle it. You can mix it up. I might shuffle it. Yeah. It's a nice deck. The cards feel nice. It's pretty new. Is it? I think it's brand new actually. Oh yeah. Look at that. Don't act like you're not impressed. That's a pretty good shuffle. I don't want to see it either. I can't see anything. Take the deck you have in one hand and separate it into three roughly equal sized piles. Any one of those piles, turn the whole pile face up. Any one? Any one. So now you've got one face up pile, two face down piles. And that card on top of the face up pile, that's your card. So remember that card. And then what I want you to do is take that face up pile and put it on top of one of the face down piles. And put it on top while still face up or flip it over? Exactly. While still face up. Yep. All right. And then take the other face down pile and put it face down on top of the face up pile. Love it. So you've sandwiched your card. I've done it. Now I want you to, you know, you've heard of like cutting the deck, right? I want you to roughly halfway through, cut the deck in half and don't complete the cut. So you have one that's face up, one that's face down. What do you mean don't complete the cut? So you cut it in half. Yeah. And don't, don't complete the cut. Just cut them into two piles. Okay. That shuffle you showed me earlier? Yeah. Shuffle those two piles together, face up, face down. Oh man, what a mess. Yeah. Okay. Got it. Perfect. So would you agree that there's no way I could know where your card is in the deck right now? I would agree. Like you picked the card, you saw what the card was, you buried it, you chose which one to put on top. Yeah. You flipped it and you shuffled it. Yeah. Go ahead and cut the deck in half and complete the cut. No way that I could know which one is your card, where it is, right? That was a dramatic turn. I like to showmanship. You just need a Mac on your lap. So what I'm going to have you do is from the top, start taking cards and dealing them one at a time off the top. Okay. And just read me the ones that are face up, but don't change your voice or, or say it differently. If you see your card, just say everyone exactly the same. So I can't give it away and go through the whole deck and just read the face up cards. Okay. Nine of hearts, seven of clubs. Just one by one, go through the top down ones. That's it. That was it. Yeah. Okay. Is the slow turn part of it? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I, you know, I told you not to change your voice too much, but I did hear a little bit of an inflection in some of the cards. Okay. Um, do me a favor and say red, black, red, black. No, not a black card. It's definitely red. Okay. Ace two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Jack, queen, king. Exactly. Exactly. That's what I thought. Okay. Um, he's putting on the sportsmanship here. Yeah. I've got, I've got, I've got a vibe and it's funny because usually I have another deck on FaceTime and I'll like pull the card up the deck and show it to you, but I don't have one. So I'll just, but I, but I do have one here so I can actually, it's funny that you put one right in a good spot for me. Is, uh, is your card the four? Yes. Wow. Did he know? Nope. Did you? No. Nope. What? You got it too, right? It's a three of diamonds. It's three of diamonds. Yeah. All right. Nice. That's pretty good, right? How did you know? Just your voice. No, you, no, that's a little extra. I call baloney. Wow. Wow. Hey, that's a great trick. All right. So we're going to, we're going to load up some, some creator friends, FaceTime them and try some of the tricks that he just taught me. He'll be over my shoulder for some supervision just to make sure I don't mess anything up, but I think it should be fun. I'm going to see if he can get them to get a good reaction from people over zoom. I shouldn't be on camera by the way. Yeah. You can, so it'll be off of the FaceTime, but on this camera, they're all facing one direction. Okay. All right. But did you, I got it. It sounds like I got it.
