  1. I slowed down the video to 0.25 for the 3 card monte trick and even after knowing where the queen ends up and when it happens, it was still very difficult to really notice that it had happened. Very impressive!

  2. As a guy could a woman give me feedback on something?: How unattractive is it if a guy gets his stuff stolen as quick as the brown pants victim Eric does in this video with his wallet and watch? For some reason, I as a hetero guy genuinely lose some much respect for him if this wasn't acted (which is possible of course).

  3. 6:25 — I don't think that's a different newspaper, I think it's just the other side of it. If you freeze the frames as he's unfolding the "different" newspaper, you can see the same color images that are on the front of the Boston Globe. I can even make out the "Computer deal" bold text on both the original and the unfolding one. It's the same newspaper.

  4. Illusion magic is the perfect way to demonstrate to people that magic is real. But people refuse to understand what magic is.
    I bet a thousand bucks that apple created such shape to airpods intentionally so they would get more purchases. People refuse to understand what lengths that company goes through to screw their customers over.

  5. I'm gonna spoil a trick, so if you don't want it spoiled, don't read ahead. A magician never reveals his or another magicians secrets, but I'm not a magician. If you see a move that cannot be reasonably done with slight of hand alone, like the newspaper one, assume the object is gimmicked. The newspaper probably was a glue up job, where the inside paper got folded as the half tears were done, and only the outside paper was destroyed, after the grand reveal, the torn pieces were hid behind the opened paper. I assume this to be the case because the revealed paper was folded more compactly than a normal paper would have been. A fancy origami trick with a little slight of hand added.
